Finally Home | Revelation 21:1–8
Have you ever wondered what it will be like when God's people are finally home?
In Revelation 21, we're given a beautiful glimpse of the eternal home God has prepared for those who belong to Him. A place where everything is made new, every broken thing is restored, and sorrow, pain, and death are gone forever.
In this message, “Finally Home,” we discover four incredible promises of eternity: Everything Will Be Made New, Everything Broken Will Be Gone, Everything Beautiful Will Be Beyond Imagination, and Everyone Who Belongs to Chr...
Take The Slow Lane - Revive
Take the Slow Lane | Mark 6:30–32
When was the last time you truly slowed down?
Life moves fast. Between work, responsibilities, relationships, and the constant demands of everyday life, it's easy to become so busy that we forget the importance of rest.
In Mark 6:30–32, Jesus recognizes the exhaustion of His disciples and invites them to step away from the noise and spend time with Him.
In this message, “Take the Slow Lane,” we discover the importance of finding a place of healing and perspective, recognizing Jesus' personal invitation to rest, and crea...
The Invisible Girl - Revive
The Invisible Girl | Genesis 29:16–35
Have you ever felt overlooked, unappreciated, or invisible?
In Genesis 29:16–35, we discover the story of Leah, a woman who lived in the shadow of her sister, experienced rejection, and desperately longed to be loved. Yet even when others failed to see her worth, God saw her and was working through her life in ways she could never have imagined.
In this message, “The Invisible Girl,” we discover three powerful truths: Don't Let Others Determine Your Worth, Don't Let Your Circumstances Steal Your Praise, and Don't Underestimate What God Can Do Throu...
When The Clock Strikes Midnight - Revive
If Jesus returned today, would you be ready?
In Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells the parable of the ten virgins, reminding us that His return is certain, but the timing is unknown. While all ten appeared prepared, only five were truly ready when the bridegroom arrived.
In this message, “When The Clock Strikes Midnight,” we explore three important truths: An Unprepared Condition, An Unannounced Coming, and An Unanswered Cry. Through this passage, we're reminded that religious activity, church attendance, and good intentions cannot replace genuine faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus has promis...
Be Strong And Courageous - A Life That Answers God's Call
Be Strong and Courageous: A Life That Answers God’s Call
What does it look like to answer God's call with courage?
In Joshua 1:1–6, we find Joshua stepping into a new season of leadership following the death of Moses. With an important mission ahead of him, God reminds Joshua that he doesn't have to face the journey alone.
In this message, we discover what it means to live a legacy of faithfulness, embrace our God-given mission, and move forward with God-given courage. Just as God called Joshua to step forward in fait...
True Christian Service - Foundations
True Christian Service | Foundations
What does it really mean to serve Christ?
In Philippians 2:25–30, we meet Epaphroditus—a servant in the shadows whose faithful and sacrificial service made him invaluable to Paul and the church. His life reminds us that every believer has a part to play in the work of Christ, whether or not anyone else sees it.
In this message from our Foundations series, we discover that Christian service is necessary, selfless, costly, and honorable. We’re challenged to serve quietly, carry the burdens of others, take risks...
Its Time To Grow Up - Foundations
Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident. God’s desire for every believer is that we continue growing in our knowledge of Him and becoming more like Christ.
In this message from our Foundations series, we look at 2 Peter 3:18 and Acts 2:42 to discover the need for spiritual growth, the effort growth requires, and the pattern God has given us to pursue it.
Spiritual growth is the intentional, continual pursuit of Christlikeness.
Whether your next step is salvation, baptism, membership, joining a group, or serving on a team, the...
The Power Of A Praying Church - Foundations
Prayer isn’t the church’s emergency exit—it’s the church’s engine.
In Acts 1:12–14, we find the early believers gathered together and devoted to prayer. Throughout the book of Acts, prayer wasn’t simply something the church did when circumstances became difficult—it was woven into the life and mission of the church.
In this message from our Foundations series, we discover how the early church was birthed in prayer, bathed in prayer, and bonded in prayer, and why prayer must remain foundational to the church today.
A praying chur...
The Church On A Mission - Foundations
What is the mission of the Church? In Acts 1:1–11, Jesus makes it clear: the Great Commission is the Church’s mission. We have been called to make disciples of all people, everywhere, taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
In this message from our FOUNDATIONS series, we look at the unfinished task before us, the resurrected Savior who motivates us, the promised power of the Holy Spirit, the clear authority of Jesus, and the urgency of His return. The mission cannot be accomplished in our own strength—but through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Ch...
Truth North - Foundations
In a world filled with unreliable maps, where do we turn for truth?
In this message from 2 Timothy 3:14–4:2, Pastor Bryan Samms reminds us that Scripture is the only reliable guide for the church. God’s Word is supernaturally given, completely sufficient, and strategically given to shape what we believe, direct how we live, and equip us for every good work.
Whether your heart is heavy, your path feels unclear, or life is going wonderfully, the call is the same: read the Bible. Scripture isn’t merely a book for troubled days—it is God’s Word for e...
Family Matters - Psalms of Ascent
What are you building your life around—and will it matter in the end?
In this message from Psalm 127, we’re reminded that “unless the Lord builds the house,” even our greatest efforts can ultimately be in vain. Our careers, accomplishments, possessions, and plans have their place, but they were never meant to come at the expense of the people God has entrusted to us.Â
Family Matters challenges us to consider our priorities, invest intentionally in our homes, and recognize our families as gifts from God. Children are a heritage from the Lord, and we have the...
I Love The Church - Psalms of Ascent
Psalm 122 shows us why gathering with God’s people should be marked by joy, worship, and commitment. In this message, we discover the gladness, glory, and growth found in the church—and how we can seek its good by attending faithfully, ministering consistently, serving willingly, giving sacrificially, and praying together.
A message from Dr. Bryan Samms, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church Burnet.
How Good It Is - Psalms of Ascent
Psalm 133 celebrates the beauty and blessing of God’s people living in unity. In this message, we discover that unity is beautiful to behold, a blessing to enjoy, and refreshing to experience. In a world marked by division, the church is called to remember that what unites us in Christ is far greater than anything that could divide us.
A message from Dr. Bryan Samms, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church Burnet.
Help Is On The Way - Psalms of Ascent
Psalm 121 reminds us that we were never meant to walk through life alone. When the road is long, our burdens are heavy, and our strength is limited, our help comes from the Lord. In this message, we are reminded that God is both our Helper and our Keeper—the One who faithfully watches over, protects, and sustains His people every step of the way.
A message from Dr. Bryan Samms, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church Burnet.
God Is On Your Side - Psalms of Ascent
Psalm 124 reminds us that God has always been—and always will be—on the side of His people. In this message, we see how this truth is proclaimed, proven through God’s faithfulness, and praised by those who recognize Him as their help. No matter what surrounds us, God goes before us, stands behind us, and remains with us.
