FBC Lewistown Sermon Podcast

The Word of Life walked into history, time and place - like no living person before Him, Jesus spoke the very words of life as He ministered to a lost and dying world. Indeed we learn today that Jesus, the Word was flesh and blood - Heard, Seen and Handled by the Apostles from the beginning of His earthly ministry. 

   He Just Walked Right In

     I John 1: 1-4  

Following God is a "way" of life. It is a walk, a lifestyle and a pattern of living that should permeate all areas of our life to be genuine, true and real. In First John this is most poignantly brought forward so that a person who calls themselves a Christian may measure themselves by "the Way" and know if they are following the Path of a Real Disciple of Christ or Not!

 

    Introduction to John's First Epistle

Luke 24:1-12

God does not "Compel" His people to make offerings or to give to the Church. He Inspires our Giving through the Grace of Christ Jesus. In II Corinthians 8:9 Paul inspires us to give by showing us the wealth, the poverty and the purpose with which Jesus willingly Gave for our sakes.
