Richmond's First Baptist Church

This is the second of Dr. Somerville's sermon series on Truth.  A lot of how you perceive truth is dependent on your perception and understanding of God.  Once you understand that better, you can begin to understand the truth that Jesus gives us.

Dr. Somerville begins a new sermon series today titled "Searching for Truth".  Today, as throughout history, people are searching for truth, and with so many voices from so many places coming at us today it can be hard to know what is truth these days.  In his sermon here Dr. Somerville offers some ways to know where truth can be found.

Robert Thompson preaches about the differences between Helpless Love and Hopeless Love.

Dr. Somerville concludes his Advent Sermon Series talking about love. It's Love that came at Christmas, in the form of a baby called Jesus, who was the incarnation Love and the incarnation of God.

Dr. Somerville continues his "Advent Treasures" sermon today preaching about joy.  Sometimes it sneaks up on us, and sometimes we see it coming a long way off, but regardless joy is there in so much of life.  In this season especially let's find joy and act on it too.  There's more than enough to just hoard it; we need to share it!

Justin Pierson preaches the second of four Advent Treasures sermons during our Advent season.  He focuses on peace today, asking us what we would consider peace to be and then exploring how Jesus birth and peace relate to one another.

Dr. Somerville begins and Advent sermon series entitled, "Advent Treasures."  Today he talks about hope.  And more specifically our hope in the return one day of Jesus.

Dr. Jim Somerville brings an encouraging Thanksgiving message. The past couple of years have been difficult navigating the effects of the virus, but we are coming out of that time and we have so much to be thankful for as life slowly returns to normal.

Dr. Somerville finishes this "Faith of Our Mothers" sermon series talking about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Did she know what she was getting into when she said "Yes" to the angel Gabriel?  How could she, but by faith she did say "Yes", and the course of the world was changed because of it.  What is your yes?

Dr. Jim Somerville continues the "Faith of Our Mothers" series, Today he talks about Hannah today, and how she is able to trust God, even when all those around her are saying she is childless because of her sin.  Listen and see how God works through Hannah.
