Cartersville First Baptist Church

The Song of Solomon presents us with the design and delight of one of God’s most precious gifts love, marriage, romance, and the right expression of our sexuality. This gift from God is very good, but it can also be very dangerous when participated in outside of God’s design and timing. In this sermon, Dr. Walker presents God’s plan for our sexuality and how to pursue it God’s way.

Christmas is a miracle! God became a man for me and you! Have you received this miracle? Is your life a living witness to this miracle? Are you living in the grace upon grace this miracle provides? Do you daily marvel at the miracle of the God-Man?

In John 1:1-5 we encounter one of the most concise explanations of who Jesus, the God-Man, is and why He alone offers life to the world. Is Jesus your life? Do you treasure him? Above all, Jesus wants you to know him and treasure him.

The Son is Supreme! Jesus, the God-Man made everything, sustains everything, and is making all things new. Jesus is the supreme center of all reality. What reality are you living in? Is Jesus the supreme center of your life? 

Hebrews 1:1-4 presents us with the wonders of Jesus Christ—the God-man! More than any other text, Hebrews 1:1-4 tells us that Jesus is God’s final word. All God wanted to say to us He said in His Son. The question is . . . are you listening to and living for God’s final Word?

The economy of the Kingdom of God stands in stark contrast to the economy we know on earth. As partners in the Gospel God has called us to live by His economy. Here in Philippians 4:10-23 Paul gives us the “secrets” of living on earth by heaven’s economy.

What does Gospel partnership look like in action? What does it mean for us practically in our everyday lives? Philippians 4:1-9 commands us to put our faith into practice, provides specific instructions, and describes the supernatural blessings that accompany active obedience.

Every single person on the planet is pursuing and progressing in something. What are you pursuing? What are you progressing in? In Philippians 3:12-21 Paul tells us that as partners in the gospel our ultimate pursuit must be knowing Jesus Christ. Salvation brings us into a personal relationship with Jesus. The Christian life is all about progressively knowing Jesus more each day. Is Jesus your one, ultimate pursuit?

The Christian's foundation is an understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and throughout time, others have come along to tweak or change the Gospel altogether. In Philippians 3:1-11, Paul warns the church against this danger while reminding them of the principles that make us all true believers.

In Philippians 2:19-30 we encounter three examples of faithful gospel partners: Paul, Timothy, and Epaphroditus. These partners send and/or are sent for the sake of the Gospel. There is no sitting on the sidelines. Partners in the gospel must actively participate in the gospel by sending or being sent for the good of others.

As Christians and partners in the Gospel our salvation is truly and completely a work of God. And yet, our calling is to participate by living out what God has worked in us. Working out our salvation means living purely and pouring ourselves out by God’s power for the Gospel and the good of others.

In Philippians 2:1-11 Paul reveals the path of progress in the Gospel. This path is the pattern of Jesus’ example. Jesus humbled himself before he was exalted. In humility Jesus came to unite us in a right relationship with God the Father. Our progress in the Gospel is unity through humility!

In this message, Pastor Drew challenges us to ask the question "Are we behaving like a Christian should?"

In this introductory message from Philippians 1:1-11 Dr. Walker proclaims God’s promise of the Gospel and our partnership in the Gospel. These verses remind us that partnership in the Gospel is the greatest privilege on the planet.

This week Dr. Walker continues our focus on "First Things" from 2 Peter 1:3-11. God has given us everything we need for life and godliness. Our diligence, however, is required in our for our faith to be fruitful and effective for the Kingdom of God. This week we see how self-control, steadfastness, and godliness are to be cultivated in our lives by God's power.  

2 Peter 1:3-11. After giving us everything we need for life and godliness, God calls us as Christians to cultivate our faith for the sake of fruitfulness. This sermon is part 1 of 3 on how we cultivate our faith and make our lives count for the Kingdom of God. 

Revelation 19:1-21 - In this sermon Dr. Walker unpacks the last portrait the Bible paints of Jesus. This text answers the question, "Who is Jesus?"
