This weekend, Tom is joined by a friend of his to discuss difficult answers to recent events.

We have been sheltering in place for about eleven weeks now. As a believer what are you supposed to do when you are sheltered in place. Believe it or not the Bible gives us several examples of God's followers that were sheltered in place. What did they do during those times? Let's talk about that in this message.

Have you ever been in trouble? Have you ever been troubled? Trouble is not a fun subject, however, the believer is no stranger to troubled times. This weekend we finish our mini-series but talking about the second "P." This is an attribute that God honors and desires to develop in all of those who follow Him. In fact, this attribute demonstrates the authenticity of our faith.

Do you have any strong opinions about what we have all been going through the last 10 weeks? Have you voiced those opinions? Did that help? What do you need most in this current crisis? For the next two weekends we are going to talk about two attributes that will help us come through this changing season victoriously. Both attributes begin with the letter "P." Looking forward to unpacking these two so we can learn from God's Word what He is doing through this trying time.

This weekend is Mother's Day and we will be focusing on some mothering tips that have stood the test of time. Before there were parenting books and workshops there was Susanna Wesley. She had 19 children. Ten of them lived into their adult years. Two of her sons, John and Charles were used of God to bring great blessing to all of England and much of America. The influence of their Mother, Susanna, shaped their lives to make an impact for God. Tune in this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and we will learn from God's Word and how Susanna Wesley put God's Word into practice in parenting her children.

A crisis can lead to a lot of questions for God. Have you ever had a question for the Lord? Did you ever ask Him? Has He ever answered your question and you didn't like the answer so you said, "He never answered"? This weekend we will talk about going through dark times and how our faith can answer some of the questions we have for God.

God will never leave us or forsake us. We can trust Him, especially in a crisis. This weekend we will continue our series, Glorious Hope - Faith in a Time of Crisis. We will look at the power of Jesus' words when we trust Him. His Word can help us through our crisis and develop our faith.

Crises are unavoidable in life. A crisis can either develop your faith or do a number on your faith. For the next three weeks we will learn how a solid faith can strengthen you when life is shaken by a crisis. There is hope and you can make it through this current crisis. Join us online at fbmaryville.org on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. to have your hope restored and your faith renewed.

Happy Easter!

As we approach the Passion Week, the week before Jesus' crucifixion, we will take a look at how some loved Him and some hated Him. The same is true today. It seems everywhere He shows up, He either endears Himself to people or enrages them. The former, understand Him, the latter do not. This weekend we will seek to understand how much He loves us, simply by taking a closer look at how He demonstrated that love. See you online as we join together to celebrate His love.

Today we come to the conclusion of our CORRECTION series. It has been a series about God calling His wayward children back to Him. Today we finish with Elijah stepping aside and handing the reins over to Elisha. This transition is a lot like what it means to follow Jesus. So, this weekend we will take a look at the fine print of being a Jesus follower.

This weekend we conclude our series called Correction. Hopefully, you have gained a lot of insight from this series. This weekend we find Elijah in a quiet spot feeling sorry for himself. Ever been there? Let's see how God responds to the prophet and how Elijah responds to our gracious God.

This weekend we find ourselves in the middle of the Correction series. In this series we have focused on how God pursues when we get off track. This weekend we will talk about God's competitors and see how superior He is and how He can always be trusted especially when we are opposed.

This weekend we continue the series Correction. In our first message we find the nation going through a horrible season of drought. Have you ever gone through a dry time in your life, when it seems like everything is going wrong? What did you do? This weekend we will learn some great lessons that we can gain through these dry times.

Do you have a good sense of direction? Can you sense when you are in the wrong place? God's Word serves as a map for us through life. This weekend we begin a new series that can help all of us if we need some course corrections in life. You won't want to miss the launch of this new series.

Invite a friend for a special weekend of services with Dan Meers, KC Wolf, the official mascot of the Super Bowl winning Kansas City Chiefs. This is a fun opportunity to bring your friend through the church doors.

Privacy. It seems difficult to find today. You have to plan it! But then again it has always been that way. Jesus had to plan times of solitude so He could be prepared for the pressures of His day. This weekend we conclude our FOLLOW series. We will focus on the last setting in which you can grow stronger in the Jesus way. The chair.

Last weekend we learned we can grow in the Jesus way in a row. But the reality is you can only go so far in the row. This weekend we will take a look at the value and challenges of growing in the Jesus way as we sit around the circle with others. Should be fun.

This weekend we begin a new series entitled, FOLLOW. How can you follow Christ closer and learn the Jesus way better? Most people go to church, but does church attendance alone make you a better follower? Through this series we will learn about three settings in which we can grow strong in the Jesus way. See you at church!

Hell. Not something we talk about or even think about much. But this weekend we will look at what the Bible says about hell. The good and the bad. Wait. There is something good in hell? The answer is yes. Do you want to know what it is?
