Finding Forgiveness

September 15, 2024 • Greg Burdine • Psalm 51

As we ponder the church's 51st anniversary, it is a reminder of David's plea for mercy, forgiveness, and cleansing in Psalm 51. We all sin and need a Savior. Rather than hide our sin, if we confess our sin, God will forgive us. We learn three truths about sin. 1. Sin hurts the sinner. 2. Sin hurts others. 3. Sin hurts God. No sin is too great to be forgiven.

The Purpose of our Church

September 8, 2024 • Greg Burdine • Matthew 28:19–20, Matthew 22:37–40

Why does our church exist? Why should every church exist? We can discover from Jesus and the early church five distinct reasons for the church. Once we realize why, we will better uncover how. 1. Worship: Expressing love to God. 2. Fellowship: Loving other Christians deeply. 3. Discipleship: Growing toward Christlikeness. 4. Ministry: Serving Christ by serving others. 5. Mission: Leading others to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Five Core Values of Faith Baptist Church: Focus on God. Authority of God's Word. Intentional evangelism. Transformational learning. Help family and friendships.

How to be a great servant (Labor Day)

September 1, 2024 • Greg Burdine • Matthew 20:26–27

A servant is one who humbly serves others. Joseph is a good example of a great servant. Though treated badly, wrongly accused, and seemingly forgotten, he continued to serve those around him. What characteristics did he display that made him a great servant? 1. A great servant desires to do great things (Genesis 37:6-7). 2. A great servant maintains joy (Genesis 50:20). 3. A great servant accepts responsibility (Genesis 40:15). How can you be a great servant of God? - Desire to accomplish great things for God. - Determine to be available to God. - Develop skills for greater service. - Turn "small" tasks into expressions of love for God and others.
