Sunday, Sep 27, 2026 | Reckoning and Renewing: The Inheritance We Didn't Choose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this service, First Baptist begins a five-week series called Reckoning and Renewing, a chance to look honestly at our own story and our nation's, the dark pieces along with the redeeming ones. When we can name what's true about the past without flinching, that past loses its power to hold us in regret or shame. Each Sunday moves us a step further into freedom: naming what we've inherited, wrestling with how scripture itself has been used and misused, listening to our own members' stories, and

Read excerpt
In this service, Pastor Eric wraps up the sermon series, Still Here: When Holding On Is Holy Enough, a four-week journey through the Hebrew Bible with people who had reached the end of themselves. We immerse ourselves in the story of Jonah. In this passage, we sit with a prophet who is furious — not because God was harsh, but because God was merciful to the "wrong people."

Instead, Joseph weeps and says to them, "You intended to do harm to me, but God intended it for good." For anyone carrying an old wound that has not f

This Sunday Pastor Eric continues our sermon series, Still Here: When Holding On is Holy Enough, our four-week journey through the Hebrew Bible with people who had reached the end of themselves. Last week we sat with Jeremiah's burn out and honest complaint. This week we meet Ezekiel, handed a responsibility almost too heavy to carry. God appoints Ezekiel a sentinel, a watchman responsible for warning others of danger. Anyone who has felt responsible for another person's wellbeing knows the weig

Read excerpt
"Still Here: When Holding On is Holy Enough" is a new sermon series from Pastor Eric. Together, we will take a four-week journey through the Hebrew Bible with people who had reached the end of themselves. Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joseph, and Jonah. These are not tidy people, and Scripture does not look away from them. In fact, it hands them the microphone. The series does not promise that everything is fine. It promises something better and harder—that holding on, barely and by a thread, turns out to
