Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast!

All paths have a purpose of destination. Every person you see is on a path. As an outdoorsman, I enjoy going out into the woods, or as my kids call it, “the deer woods.” Depending on what path I take will determine the difficulty of travel and time. If we are honest with one another, the easier the better right? I have learned, that kind of thinking is tricky. Most of the time, if not all the time, easier isn’t better, it’s just easier. In John 14:6 Jesus says, “I am the way the truth and the life…” The only way, the only path, the only gate that leads to the God, is Jesus. If we follow Christ faithfully, we will walk through the narrow gate and journey on the narrow path. Matthew 7:13-14 says, 13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. (The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. Crossway Bibles, 2016, p. Mt 7:13–14.) Are you part of the few?

What is it about light that is so attractive to people? Have you ever thought about that? You have neighbors who go all out during the holiday seasons and their homes are all a-glow! Some even invest a lot of money and time with special Christmas light shows that you can enjoy from the sidewalk or car. The movement of the lights, and even in the stillness of the light, we can catch ourselves drawn and fixed to the light. “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. Crossway Bibles, 2016, p. Jn 8:12.) For centuries, humankind has been seeking a “light” to help them out of darkness. Are your eyes set on the Light of the world?

When I became a home owner, our home had little to no landscaping. This is where the “Honey-do” list started. We spent some money and invested the time and labor to spruce up our home’s curb appeal. It looked great! After a year, we noticed something very annoying. Weeds. They sprouted everywhere and tried to take over the landscaping! Naturally, we went out and picked out all the weeds and cleaned up the landscaping. It looked great again! You know, weeding is a process. We have to keep going back and cleaning them out, using natural preventive measures to keep them away longer…but they keep coming back. If we let them grow, they will choke the life out of our landscaping and changing the whole look of our property. This leads me to the question, “What weeds have you allowed to grow in your life?” If you are tracking with us, we in a series called “The Gospel of John.” This week, Senior pastor, Heath Bauer, continues in this series with a message called, “Characteristics of a Weed.”

What is the most humble act you can do for someone else? I know, it’s completely counter cultural to embrace being humble. If you look out your window, you see a world that is calling for each person to do what’s true to them. Humility is something that is not natural. It is within our human nature to be filled with pride. Pride not kept in check is dangerous. When was the last time you washed someone’s feet? Washing someone else’s feet is an act of humility. It says to that person that you value them. If you are following with us, last week we reintroduced a series called “The Gospel of John.” This week, Senior pastor Heath Bauer, continues in this series with a message called, “If Jesus can Wash Men’s Feet.”

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast!

Introductions are one of the greatest opportune moments that give us a taste of what is to come. How do you introduce yourself to others? It has been said that within 8-10 seconds, a Gen-Z individual has already made their mind up about a person. Within that 8-10 seconds, they have already determined if you are important enough to give their attention to. In the Gospel of John, there are some key introductions we immediately walk into. Senior Pastor, Heath Bauer, is leading us into a new series in the Gospel of John. Today he brings our attention to an introduction to the book.

Who do you put your trust in? In 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a joint resolution from Congress stating “In God We Trust” as the United States national motto. For the first time, on October 1, 1957, this motto was printed on the back side of the dollar bill. The phrase itself is said to have been dated back to the Civil War era. Before it was printed on paper currency, “In God We Trust” was found on coins, as space allowed. In 1864 it first appeared on a 2-cent coin. But, was this the heartbeat of the United States? Did every person trust in God? Is it bad or evil to trust in God? If there is someone we can put our trust in; someone who sacrificed more than we will ever be willing to let go of; someone who can redeem and rescue those who are broken and in need of a Savior, it is God.

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast!

Do you ever feel like you need to hit a reset button in your life? If we allow it, we can let our lives get so busy and distracted from what is most important. The business controls and manipulates everything we end up doing. When we allow this to happen, the most important things about life get buried and sometimes forgotten. This week we are looking at the series, “Shadows of Christ.” In this series, we are looking at the Jewish feasts the Jews celebrate or observe. Within these feasts, there is one distinct commonality; Jesus Christ. These feasts serve as a calling to all people to surrender to Christ. What is keeping your life from turning or returning to Christ?

Welcome to the Unity Baptist Church sermon podcast!

Has there every been a time where you wronged someone? I remember when I was around the age of 10, I was outside playing with one of my younger sisters. We were at my great grandmother’s house enjoying the summer evening playing tag in the back yard. For some reason, my sister “hit” me really hard. So, I grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her against the outside wall of a sun room. Her head went back and hit the bottom part of the window, and it broke. Glass was everywhere. I knew immediately I had wronged my sister. I also immediately knew I was going to experience a punishment I have never seen yet…and I did. 34 years later, I am still sorry for what I did. There was no hiding what I did. I asked for forgiveness, seeking atonement.

This week we are in the series Shadows of Christ. In this series, we are looking at the Jewish festivals that are held throughout the Jewish calendar year. The significance to this series reveals who Jesus is and why you and I should surrender our lives to Him.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word or phrase “fasting.” Maybe your like me and immediately think about the new diet fads that have embraced the science of fasting, or maybe your mind just went straight to, “no food! AHH!” When you read the Bible, you will discover there is a spiritual discipline that we find throughout scripture. Yes, it’s fasting. Fasting is almost aways partnered with praying. Today, Senior Pastor, Heath Bauer will give us the biblical code to fasting and why we should do it.

What is it that keeps your mind on Christ? How often do you go back to the moments that drew you near to God? If you have been part of a youth group or student ministry, one of these moments would be summer camp. Sure camp is fun, and full of friends and great memories, but what about those moments God used at camp to draw you back to what is holy, genuine, pure, real, life-changing? Something similar happens in Jewish tradition. At the Feast of Trumpets, a shofar is blown every seven minutes to call people back to God. It was an interruption of what they were doing to call them to turn their lives to God. Today, we visit the series on Shadows of Christ. In this series we are looking at the Jewish feasts on or near the time they are observed. What we find within each feast/festival is a fulfillment in Christ.
