firstbaptistmp — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 18:41:52 +0000

We’ve been focusing on serving people and showing the Gospel with our lives, but we cannot ignore telling it too. Find out why it’s so important and how to do it.

Externally Focused Life: Minding the Intersections

firstbaptistmp — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:57:52 +0000

Worth Spit

firstbaptistmp — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:47:34 +0000

The Revelation of John begins with letters to 7 churches and one of them seems written to American Christians. Join us as we look at the letter to the church in Laodicea and see how it speaks to us today. But beware; this is not a comfortable message to us.

Going Fishing: Bad Attitude

firstbaptistmp — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:22:49 +0000

Even after Jonah decided to follow God’s call to go to Ninevah, his attitude was horrible. He hated the Assyrians and wanted their death, not God’s compassion. How often do you miss the good God is doing because you can’t see past yourself? Unlike Jonah, we must learn to have the heart of God and submit to His will, not our own.

Going Fishing: Running Away

firstbaptistmp — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:20:57 +0000

Jonah ran from God’s calling and sometimes so do we. God is calling, and you can run but you can’t hide. Learn from Jonah.

Making Space: Getting a Word In

firstbaptistmp — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 20:52:11 +0000

Let me tell you how to pray. That’s how preachers usually talk about prayer. We give you a method or a recipe for prayer that works. But that’s not what the Bible teaches about prayer. Prayer is an opportunity to build your relationship with the God of the universe. Listen to this message to learn how to make space for God in your life through prayer. You won’t learn a method, but you might better understand why we pray.

Making Space: Giving Broke

firstbaptistmp — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:04:43 +0000

Making Space: Running on Empty

firstbaptistmp — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:01:11 +0000

Let’s talk about Fasting. I know, it doesn’t sound like much fun, but Jesus called us to fast. And when we fast, we make space in our physical lives for God to come in. Listen how.

Making Space: Square Peg in Round Hole

firstbaptistmp — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:34:27 +0000

firstbaptistmp — Tue, 10 May 2011 19:57:02 +0000

Quick Turnaround (Palm Sunday)

firstbaptistmp — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:18:41 +0000

How did Jesus’ popularity go from the crowds rolling out the red carpet at the beginning of the week, to shouting “crucify him” by the end? And how quickly do we turn from Him when He calls us to His will? Instead of turning against Jesus, it’s time we turn away from our sin and follow Him. Join us for this Palm Sunday message and introduction to chasing the Wild Goose.
