Lent is drawing to a close, and we are ending our journey through God's commitment to covenant as we turn our eyes towards the cross and the empty tomb. In this week's sermon, Pastor Adam invites us to consider what it means that God is writing his law upon our hearts as part of a new covenant.

As we continue our Lenten journey along the path of covenant, we encounter a strange story with fiery serpents and a bronze snake on a pole. Despite his aversion to these slithering reptiles, Pastor Adam explores what is going on in this story and how Jesus would use this tale to remind us of the need to choose to be in relationship with God so we can live. Our choir's anthem is a moving arrangement of the hymn, There Is a Balm in Gilead.

Any Lenten journey along the path of God's choice of covenant would be incomplete without a pause in Exodus 20 - the Ten Commandments. Read in conjunction with our other Scripture reading, 1 Corinthains 1:18-25, we consider together how God chose a way that seems foolish to us, but that is more incredible than all the wisdom in the world. Our choir also offers a beautiful anthem, If You Love Me.

We continue our journey through Lent by revisiting God's covenant with Abraham and Sarah in Genesis this week. Pastor Adam invites us to consider how God plays the long game - and how that means we become more like God, and God responds to our actions and incorporates them into his plan, through the covenant we share. Our choir also offers a beautiful anthem, and Mc closes the service with an incredible piano piece. Thanks for worshipping with us this week!

Welcome to the season of Lent at Farmville Baptist Church. Throughout this season of preparation for Good Friday and Easter, we are considering the way God works through relationships to share his love with us and with the world. In this episode, we look at the very first instance of covenant in the Scriptures: when God limited himself to be in relationship with Noah and all creation.

Please note: this episode is running late because of a technical issue on 2/18/24. We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope it will be able to help you experience God this Lenten season.

Welcome to worship with the Farmville Baptist congregation! In this episode, we hear the story of Esther and ponder what we do when moments of influence and action come - do we act in the service of God's justice and love, even if it is not on our own behalf but on behalf of others? This is the third in our sermon series on living as creatures of time and using well the days, so we hope you will join us for more times of reflection on this theme over the next few weeks.
