Virtue Signals – Humility
Series Review Today we finish our series on Virtue Signals – those ways we demonstrate to the world around us that we live differently. If you missed any of those messages, I encourage you to watch or listen to them. You can find every one of our messages in video, audio, or readable version on the church website: firstbaptistchariton.com. Additionally, they are all posted to Facebook, YouTube, and Google or Apple Podcast. We try to make it really easy for…
Virtue Signals – Truth
The Erosion of Trust and Truth Today we consider yet another signal Christians must shine out into this dark world: Truth. The world needs Truth! Truth is a much more interesting topic today than perhaps 30 years ago because truth is rooted in trust, and trust has completely eroded in our culture. Years ago, if your doctor told you something, it was true. You didn’t research mRNA vaccinations online or worry about giving your child autism. When the polio vaccine…
Virtue Signals – Grace
In Christianity, God reached down toward humanity and gave himself as a sacrifice so we could be in relationship with Him. That’s God’s Grace – the Good News of the Gospel. The problem is, many non-Christians don’t see grace when they look at Christians. Instead, Christians are often viewed as Judgmental and Angry.
Virtue Signals – Love
If we want to be Godly, to be representatives of God to this world, then the most important virtue we have to live out is that of love. And not the messed up, twisted and distorted version this world passes off as love
Virtue Signals – Hope
We Christians can hold onto hope, even in the midst of all the negativity around us because we trust that God is in control.
– No ruler has been put in power for whom God didn’t have a say.
– No natural disaster has caught God by surprise.
– COVID wasn’t unexpected, and all the results it brought were within God’s plan.
God DOES have a plan that He will work right up until the day the trumpet sounds and time runs out for this earth.
Virtue Signals – Faith
As Christians, the virtues we should be signaling to the world are very different from what our culture is signaling.
Life After Death – Heaven
This series is about much more, though, than technical terms and exactly who goes where and when. This is about your eternity!
Life After Death – Hell
If we are comfortable with our own lives and the things of this earth, then we will be indifferent to the eternal destiny of others; and that’s exactly the way our enemy wants it.
Life After Death – Judgement
Ever wonder what happens the moment you take your last breath?This might be the most important message you ever listen to.
Baptism Service
Baptism is an extremely important part of the life of a church, and not just for those who are being baptized.
