We’re kicking off a brand new series on the foundations of new life in Christ. We want to be able to anchor brand new believers in the truth of the Gospel, and if you’ve been following Jesus for any amount of time, this series will bring great insights as we look at the benefits of the Gospel.
This Sunday we unpacked God’s acceptance and his approval. When you trusted Christ, your salvation was not an accident, an afterthought, or a surprise. God determined to save you and draw you to himself. In this message, you'll learn more about God’s acceptance and approval, and what that means in your life.

This Sunday will be our last sermon in the Foundations series, and we'll end the series with a deep-dive into the biblical teaching of rewards. You’ll learn what Jesus said and didn’t say about rewards in heaven, and how Jesus motivated us to live in a way right now on earth that impacts our forever.

One of the major themes throughout the Bible is God’s glory. After he would meet with God, Moses’ face would literally glow. It scared people so much that he had to cover his face after being in God's presence. Jesus preached about God’s glory, and here at First B, we often say everything we do is for God’s glory. But what exactly is God’s glory? This Sunday as we continue our Foundations series, we unpacked this question and see how God’s glory gives us purpose for our lives today.

Did you know you are a holy priest in God’s kingdom? You may have never been to Bible school, and the thought of seeing a Greek verb might make you feel like an undergrad at a rocket science convention. 🚀 But if you are a Christian, God has chosen you. As a follower of Jesus, you have incredible status, perhaps even more than you know! In this sermon, we’re going to explore how God has made you as a priest, prophet, and as royalty in his kingdom. You might be surprised at the authority we have as God’s people, and you’ll get to see how this practically affects the way we live today.
