A lot of us talk about church like a product: Did I like the music? Did the sermon hit? Do I “need” organized religion? In this message, we open Matthew 16 and Acts 2 to see what Jesus says the church actually is—and why God has no “Plan B” for taking the gospel to the world. In one sentence: Jesus builds His church on the truth of who He is, and He entrusts ordinary people with an eternal message that nothing—not even hell—can stop. Key Takeaways The church isn’t a consumer exper...
When life doesn’t go the way we hoped, it’s easy to wonder if God has abandoned us. In Into Fear, Into Faith, Pastor Jason Smith walks through Judges 6 to show how God often grows our faith—not by removing our fears, but by walking with us straight through them. Through the story of Gideon, we see a God who meets His people in hiding, patiently proves His presence, and calls them forward into courageous obedience. Rather than wiping away hardship, God strengthens faith as His people face fear...
Some leaders take from people; the best leaders give themselves to people. That contrast sits at the center of a message that moves from a miracle in John 9 to a bold claim in John 10: Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep and gives them abundant life. Pastor Jason Smith unpacks the tension between false shepherds who guard their status and the true Shepherd who guards our souls, and we follow the thread back to Ezekiel 34, where God promises to come and personally s...
What if the Author stepped onto the stage of His own story—not to dazzle from a distance, but to draw near and save? We follow that daring claim from literature and history into the heart of Christmas, where the infinite becomes an infant and the invisible God becomes visible. Grounded in Luke’s nativity and echoed by prophetic voices, we trace the signs that surrounded the birth of Jesus—angels announcing to shepherds, a star guiding seekers, and a threatened king opposing a kingdom not buil...
What if Christmas isn’t about cozy sentiment but a royal invasion that shatters winter? Pastor Daniel Justice opens with 1 John 3:8 to claim something fierce and freeing: the Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. From there, we trace how that victory moves from doctrine to daily life through the simple, demanding habit Scripture calls abiding. We start with identity. The enemy keeps us stuck in who we were; the Gospel names who we are now—children of God, not yet what we wil...
Pastor Jason Smith unpacks the cultural pull to “lord it over” others—chasing power, image, and control—and contrasts it with the basin-and-towel leadership of Jesus. Foot washing is not a sentimental detail; it’s a disruptive definition of authority. From there, we explore the heart of the Gospel: ransom. In a world where debt meant bondage, Jesus paid the price we could never cover, nailing our record to the cross and freeing us to serve from fullness rather than fear. That freedom turns ev...
“Why did Jesus come?” Many people remember the familiar moments of Christmas, the nativity story, or favorite verses — but miss the deeper purpose behind the coming of Christ. In this message, Pastor Jason Smith shares from Romans 15:7-13 that Jesus came to glorify the Father — by revealing God’s character, fulfilling His ancient promises, and extending unimaginable grace and mercy to undeserving people. Through vivid stories, biblical theology, and powerful Gospel clarity, you’ll discover: W...
Have you ever looked back at something from the past—like asbestos snow in The Wizard of Oz or radioactive children's toys—and wondered, "What were they thinking?" This moment of clarity about past mistakes perfectly illustrates how the Holy Spirit works in our lives as believers. The Holy Spirit's role in conviction stands as one of the most misunderstood yet vital aspects of the Christian walk. When Tim Keller said, "If your God never disagrees with you, you might be worshiping an idolized...
Prayer is not a passive suggestion box where we drop our requests and walk away. It's a dynamic, personal interaction with God that requires perseverance and engagement. When we look at Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, we see a powerful image of what prayer should be - a determined, passionate striving with God until He blesses us. Why did God condescend to wrestle with Jacob? To teach us that He has given us agency and desires for us to strive with Him. Prayer is wrestling with God ...
Description 2 The planned message on the Holy Spirit transforms into a time of corporate prayer as we respond to breaking news of national tragedies, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and another school shooting. Pastor Jason Smith leads the congregation in forming prayer circles to seek God together during this difficult season of loss within our church and political unrest in our country. https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne
Drawing from Matthew 6:9-10, Pastor Jason unpacks Jesus' teaching on prayer, revealing how "hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done" forms a unified call for believers to passionately seek revival and God's movement in our world. Through a compelling contrast of Peter's prayer life before and after following Jesus, we see how our prayers naturally expand from self-focused requests to kingdom advancement when we truly understand our role in God's mission. https://www.fbcboe...
Have you ever questioned your faith or wondered if your salvation is secure? That nagging doubt is something many believers wrestle with, but the answer lies not in our feelings or theological knowledge. Pastor Jason Smith shares the Holy Spirit's critical role as both seal and guarantee in the believer's life. Drawing from Ephesians 1:13-14, we discover how God marks us as authentically His own through the indwelling Spirit. Like a king's signet ring on a royal document, the Spirit's presen...
Pastor Jason starts a new series looking at prayer. This week, we explore prayer as a learned desperation rather than just a discipline, examining how Jesus teaches us to approach God as our Father rather than with empty repetitions. • Prayer isn't just a position of our knees but a disposition of our hearts • Jesus modeled prayer throughout his ministry, often slipping away to pray for extended periods • Writing prayer requests in a journal helps us recognize God's specific answers • Approa...
The question haunts many believers: "How do I know when God is speaking to me?" This fundamental uncertainty about experiencing the Holy Spirit's presence forms the foundation of our exploration into what it means to be filled with God's Spirit. Drawing from Jesus' surprising statement in John 16:7, we discover a profound truth that challenges our assumptions. Christ told His disciples—those who walked with Him physically—that they would be better off when He departed because they would rece...
In a detour from our normal Sundays, the pastoral leaders discuss all that God has done over the past few years at FBC. When it takes root in a community of believers, the Gospel naturally produces growth, unity, and transformation. This fruit manifests through good works, growing knowledge of God, love for one another, unity, and hope. In church life, Gospel fruit appears in tangible growth like baptisms and giving, but also transforms worship by creating unity across preferences and g...
The journey of faith begins with a profound mystery - how does a spiritually dead person come to life in Christ? During this Wednesday night Recharge service, we tackle a question that troubles many believers: "How do I know if I've heard God speak to me?" The answer begins by understanding the Holy Spirit's foundational role in our salvation. Scripture paints a stark picture of our pre-salvation state - "dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1). This isn't metaphorical language but spir...
In a world increasingly defined by digital connections and isolation, the biblical concept of community has never been more vital. This message dives deep into Acts 2:42-47, revealing the revolutionary nature of gospel-shaped community that emerged in the church's earliest days. What does authentic Christian community look like? Pastor Daniel Justice examines four powerful distinctives that transformed the first believers and continue to shape disciples today. First, true community is built o...
Where is God when tragedy strikes? This question haunts us when we hear about the pilot who recklessly crashed his plane killing 70 passengers, the Christians murdered during prayer in Congo, or the young campers swept away by sudden floods. These aren't abstract theological puzzles—they're the gut-wrenching realities that shake our faith and demand answers. Pastor Jason Smith's message provides a comprehensive Christian framework for understanding suffering without minimizing its reality. R...
What happens when God shows mercy to people we think don’t deserve it? Jonah’s reaction to Nineveh’s revival reveals a heart problem that may be closer to home than we’d like to admit. In Jonah 4, the prophet who once begged for mercy becomes angry when God shows mercy to others. Through a simple object lesson involving a plant, God exposes Jonah’s misplaced priorities—and confronts us with a question that still echoes today: Do we share God’s heart for the lost? Key Takeaways God’s mer...
The church isn’t just a gathering—it’s a people sent on a mission. But whose mission are we actually carrying out? In this message, Chad walks through the Great Commission and shows how the mission of the Father, the Son, and the Church all align: to make Jesus known among every nation. Key Takeaways Jesus’ authority is the foundation of the church’s missionEvery believer is called to make disciples who make disciplesThe mission starts with people closest to usThe local church is called to sh...
