First Baptist Church Wimberley Sermons

[[:encoded, "The Wall Street Journal said a few years ago that most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. And we're consumed with debt. As a culture many of us are lost financially. Imagine what it would be like to be in financial freedom. It's not that God wants our stuff. He wants us. When He gets us, He gets everything."]]

[[:encoded, "When we sin against God, it affects us emotionally, spiritually, and physically. How do we get free of these things?

[[:encoded, "A \"new and living way\" has been opened to us who believe in Jesus. This \"way \" has made it possible for us to \"come near to God.\" Sin is serious business with God.
