First Baptist Church Service 2-14-2021

Today’s sermon by Pastor Aaron was based on Numbers 13:21-33. An interesting topic as it is as valid today as it was back then. Who do you trust? In this time of increasing reliance on the words from the government for our well being and safety, who do you trust? The One who created all or a politician/bureaucrat whose primary motive is staying in authority?
10 of the 12 sent to promised land to see what it was like, came back and said “Yes, it is a land of milk and honey” however the people were strong and frightened them. God had told them He would fight their battles for them, all they had to do was trust in Him.
Those 10 didn’t and convinced the rest to listen to their side of the story. Hence, they ended up wandering the desert for another 40 years, until they all died. Their children saw the promised land, they never did, because they did not trust in what God told them.
Don’t be like them, as heaven is the promised land, and you won’t see it if you don’t trust in Christ. Your well being and safety come not from the government, but from above. (James 1:17, John 3:27)

An old friend of ours was at church today. He and his wife had recently moved down to the Bird Island area, about 40 minutes south of us. He told me all the churches down there are closed. It made me wonder who those churches trust. God is willing to fight your battles, you just have to trust Him.

First Baptist Church Service for Feb 7th 2021

It was a very cold start to this morning. We had -17 degrees when I woke up. Still, we had a good showing at church and it was very gratifying to see new faces in the pews. Today’s message was from Leviticus 18:1-5 and titled: The Child of the King: Dare to be Different. Leviticus is often thought of as one of the hard books of the bible. It shows where God wanted His people to be different than those around them. Just like today, it should show to be a Christian. People should wonder why you are different, where does that joy, love and contentment come from? If it isn’t showing in you, maybe you should spend some quality time in Leviticus. It couldn’t hurt.

First Baptist Church Service for Jan 31st 2021

In preaching through the bible in a year, Pastor Aaron’s message today was Living Alongside Our King: Tabernacling With God (Exodus 25:1-9).
The Sermon in a Sentence was:
The tabernacle, and each of its elements, was intended to reveal God’s redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.

We had a bit of difficulty with the video, the last 19 minutes were corrupt and unusable, and so Plan B was to use the slides that were on the big screen to fill in the visuals while he finished out the sermon.

First Baptist Church Service for Jan 24th 2021

Our service today covered Exodus 1-17. That’s a lot of Old Testament ground to cover but it is a familiar story. God gets Moses’s attention with a burning bush and tells him to lead His people out of bondage. Moses basically said, “Thanks God but I’m good.” God convinces Moses to carry out His will and then on to meet with Pharaoh. The rest of the story is the hand of YAHWEH displayed through Moses and Aaron, with miracles that astound the mind and cause us to wonder why the Jews were so easy to grumble, rather than be awed by their God. Pastor Aaron gave us a good sermon that should cause you to think.

First Baptist Church Service for Jan 17th 2021

Pastor Aaron used Genesis 50:15-21 for his sermon this Lord’s Day. The Providence of Our King: What Was Meant For Evil, God Uses For Good.
His Sermon in a Sentence was: Those who understand God’s providence have joy even in the midst of suffering, a joy reflected on their very faces, for they see that their suffering is not without purpose. Some Old Testament with a bit of Acts.

First Baptist Church Sermon for 1-3-2021

Yes, I know this is a day late but I was feeling a little under the weather. Did you know that all those things like colds, flu, sore throats and such still exist? Yeah, funny thing, before covid showed up, we all and that includes the medical professionals, acted with a modicum of common sense. Since 2020, most of that has gone out the window and those that endeavor to rule us have badly managed a virus that treats a certain age group poorly, but the rest of us get over it like we got over those old viruses. The question is why this virus got treated differently. It has scared us like no other virus has. 

Since God is in control of all, and I do mean all, we have a book that He wrote that would give us an idea of what might be on His mind. I suggest you start at the beginning, to not miss any of the wisdom imparted to those that read it and take it to heart. As to why the whole world is freaked out over covid, try Hebrews 12:26-29. We are being shaken, plain and simple. Now go search the scriptures to find out how not to be among the shaken.

Pastor Aaron started a new preaching series and intends to preach through the Bible. I guess that means he intends to stay with us a while. This Sunday, the sermon was Fall of Man: Who’s in Charge, Genesis 3. You have two options: listen to the whole service, or watch the sermon.

First Baptist Church Sermon for 12-20-2020

This Sunday was the last one before Christmas, and because of that, the old familiar hymns were brought out. Pastor Aarons sermon was on Matthew 2:1-12, also very familiar. A good service in which we praised our Lord.
