Reasons to Believe | Week 2

What are you searching for? Peace? Prosperity? Recognition? From time to time we are all searching for something, and we often think, if I could have that thing, I would have everything I need. Is that really true? This weekend, we will unpack a character in the Bible who was on a search, but his search needs to be refined. Maybe yours does too. Let’s meet together this weekend and let God refine our search. See you at church!

Without Love Jennifer Lindauer Without Love Jennifer Lindauer

Without Love

Love. The word is used in many different ways today, e.g. I love my wife, I love candy bars, I love the mountains, I love the beach, I love my dog, etc. Sometimes the overuse of a word dilutes its meaning. Because LOVE is such an important word, this weekend we will unpack the true meaning of love. We will also consider how important it is for us to understand it, so we can practice it in our daily lives.

Pastor Tom Hufty - 10 Year Celebration Service

This weekend, we celebrated Pastor Tom's 10th anniversary as Senior Pastor of First Baptist Maryville. While we are continuously thankful for the impact he and Rhonda have made on our church family, this weekend we wanted to exemplify our gratitude. For ten years of remarkable teaching, for ten years of investing in each of us personally, for ten years of leading by example, and for ten years of serving us in ways we might never even recognize - we are overwhelmed with thankfulness. We presented Pastor Tom a gift full of many things he loves, including a FBM golf club cover, MCS sneakers, a gift card for Big Cedar Lodge, and lots of letters of appreciation from our church family! As an extra special gift, his children and grandchildren were able to join our services, speaking to the impact he has had on all of them, as well as the amazing ministry they have witnessed throughout their lives. Pastor Tom, we love you, we are thankful for you, and we are so glad to have you leading us closer to Christ.

Judges Jennifer Lindauer Judges Jennifer Lindauer

Ultimate Authority | Finding Freedom Under God

Most people like to be in charge. Or at least the freedom to be in charge of their own life. With this freedom, we hold on to our own preferences and opinions as the highest truths. So with all this freedom we enjoy, why is there so much dysfunction and disunity? As hard as it is to hear, when we all do what is right in our own eyes it opens the door to doing what is wrong in God’s eyes. The Bible shows us that the most freedom we can find is under God’s authority and protection. This weekend we will see this clearly as we study the book of Judges with Pastor Nate.

This weekend we conclude our Big Reveal series by looking at the opening words from the Gospel of John. Over the past few weeks we have seen how God reveals Himself through Creation and the Scriptures. This weekend we will look at how God reveals Himself through the perfection of His Son.

The Big Reveal | Week 2

Last weekend we learned that worship is not automatic, so God reveals Himself through His Creation everyday so we can appreciate who He is and what He does. This weekend, we look at a song written by David, the shepherd turned King. A man whom God loved and used to pen some of the most beautiful words of worship ever written. David was deeply impacted by how God revealed Himself. We will also hear from the apostle Paul and his perspective of how God reveals Himself through His Word. Can't wait to see you this weekend.

Give Thanks

Would your life be better if you were surrounded by thankful people? This weekend is Thanksgiving Weekend. Even though Thanksgiving Day has passed, the attitude of thankfulness needs to endure. Traditionally, this weekend ushers in the beginning of the Christmas season, although for the past several years, our society starts Christmas promotion on November 1 and skips emphasizing Thanksgiving. This weekend we will pause, take a breath before our Christmas series, and remember the power of Thanksgiving. See you this weekend.
