First Baptist Church Wimberley Sermons

[[:encoded, "The great doors of rescue swing on the small hinges of the ordinary. Here’s the story of a man—Nehemiah—who knew that rescue was in the heart of God. You’ll see in this message that rescue and repentance go hand in hand, and that we the church ARE the very rescue plan of God."]]

[[:encoded, "What are we all looking for at Christmas time each year.....and what should we be looking for?"]]

[[:encoded, "The Whisper of God became the Light of the World in John 1:1-18. Lots of heresies have been spread about Jesus, but this passage clearly shows He is fully God. And Jesus is God enough to rescue you!"]]

[[:encoded, "Three groups of people are talked about in this message. Be like the Wise Men!"]]

[[:encoded, "Pastor Scott brought this address on Dec. 3, 2017 at our church's Annual General Meeting, where a clear vision is laid out for 2018."]]

[[:encoded, "The Word of God is life-giving. When Jesus announced His ministry in the synagogue one day, His message was simple: \"The Spirit of God is upon me.\" That Spirit changes everything. And that Spirit longs for you to respond to His riches of grace. Be encouraged by Pastor Scott's talk."]]

[[:encoded, "We long for hope. Hebrews 6:19 says \"This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls...\" Hope is not a feeling. It is a person. That person - Jesus - also brings joy, peace and love to our lives. Let the Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace transform you this Christmas season."]]

[[:encoded, "Having a clear vision is one of the most important aspects of life. Ask God to help you see what He sees, to have His vision. He is always making a way for us, even when we can't see the way before us. Let's trust the vision He has for us corporately, as well as individually."]]

[[:encoded, "Crazy times call for crazy convictions. This message recounts the conviction of three brave men: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Because of their strong convictions they were able to stand for God even when their lives were endangered. May we all have the the same resolve and courage of these heroes from the book of Daniel."]]

[[:encoded, "There's nothing like a calamity that brings about clarity. The Wimberley flood did this for our community. Today we focus on the strength God gives us in our struggles. \"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.\""]]

[[:encoded, "You were brought into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ in order to become like Jesus. Jesus wants you to be generous. You do this by sharing God's love in word and deed."]]

[[:encoded, "You were brought into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ in order to become like Jesus. Jesus wants you to share with others the hope you have found in Him. You do this by doing the good that needs doing and loving the ones who need loving, by sharing God's love in word and deed."]]

[[:encoded, "You were brought into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ in order to become like Jesus. Spiritual growth is not just about biblical knowledge, but serving God by serving others, becoming like Jesus."]]

[[:encoded, "You were brought into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ in order to become like Jesus. Spiritual growth is not just about biblical knowledge but biblical character, becoming like Jesus. God wants you to think like Jesus, see like Jesus, speak like Jesus, hear like Jesus, and have the mind of Christ. This is transformation that only comes through the power of the Holy Spirit."]]

[[:encoded, "You were created by Jesus to belong in a Family! Being a part of the local church is about being connected with Jesus and connected with Jesus' people."]]

[[:encoded, "You were created by Jesus to worship! Worship is not about you and what you desire. It's about honoring God with your life. Worship is more than the songs we sing or a service we attend. It's a surrendering of everything we have to Jesus."]]

[[:encoded, "You are loved by Jesus! Jesus loves you right now. He is not waiting for you to get your act together and clean up in order to love you. You are acceptable to Him and loved by Him right now. In fact, He loves you so much that He refuses to leave you how you are, but desires to transform you for HIs glory and your good."]]

[[:encoded, "King David lived a life that rippled. The ripple was sent from Father to son, based on a covenant: An \"if\" then \"I will\" relationship with God. God is the God of relationship and this is found throughout scripture in His covenants. How can each of us lead lives that ripple for God's glory?"]]

[[:encoded, "God has shown us mercy through forgiveness, restoration, renewal, adoption, and even discipline. Therefore, we should be a people who show mercy, as well."]]
