He is sharing his tesimony to give validity to his calling, and most importantly, to verify the accuracy of the gospel which he preached. When is the last time you shared your testimony? As we will see today, our testimony has three basic components: 1) Our life before Christ 2) Our personal encounter with Christ 3) Our life since Christ I think it is also important to know we have different testimonies other than our salvation testimony. Perhaps God has delivered you from a major crisis, or a difficult time in your life. These stories need to be shared with others. REMEMBER THAT YOUR TESTIMONY IS POWERFUL! http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/the-power-of-your-personal-testimony http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/the-power-of-your-personal-testimony.mp3 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 12:10:13 CDT Today we will look at the apostle Paul's testimony to the Galatians.

In addition adults will be encouraged to join our youth as prayer partners and begin 40 Days to Transformation themselves. Listen carefully today to God's Spirit to see if He is inviting you to take this 40 day journey with Him. Will it be uncomfortable? For sure. Will it be worth it? Without a doubt! Also, begin to prayerfully consider how God wants to transform you and the world around you for His glory. http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/40-day-revolution http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/40-day-revolution.mp3 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 08:40:10 CDT Kurtis Abla Today is an extra special Sunday as we will be commissioning our youth as they begin their 40 Day Revolution.

I think all of us have been guilty at some time or another. We should pray God would give us a greater boldness. The apostle Paul was indeed a bold "Gospel Guardian". A gospel guardian is one who possesses the truth, proclaims the truth, and protects the truth no matter what the cost. We are living in a day when our values, principles adn our faith is being challenged. We need students, parents, pastors, and all Christians to take a strong stand. What about you? Are you willing to take a stand for God, no matter the cost? http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/the-gospel-guardian http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/the-gospel-guardian.mp3 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:07:16 CDT Rodney Weatherly Have you ever heard something you desperately disagreed with, but you didn't have the courage to speak up?

This morning will primarily be an introduction because it is important to 'lay a foundation.' Paul is the obvious author and is writing to the churches scattered throughout what is modern day Asia Minor. The churches addressed would have been the churches located in Iconium, Lystra, Antioch of Pisidia and Derbe. Paul is writing this letter because of a blatant attempt to discredit him personally, and thus to undermine his doctrine. As we will see, he was not a happy camper! Paul defends his call into the ministry. He affirms it was not a call from men but from the Lord. Every minister should have the same claim http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/called-into-the-ministry http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/called-to-the-ministry.mp3 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:02:26 CDT Rodney Weatherly I am excited today to begin a study in the book of Galatians.

Can you know Jesus as your personal Savior, and then at some point do something so terrible the Lord disinherits you? All os us can probably think of someone we have known that used to be very involved in church. Perhaps they were even a leader in the church, but now they have no desire to serve. Has that person lost their salvation? Perhaps a better question would be,'Is it possible for a person to belong to a church and to be very active, and never know Jesus?' This has been debated for centuries and will continue to be until the Lord comes back. My goal today is to show you from the Scriptures why we as Baptists believe that you cannot lose your salvation. http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/eternal-security http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/eternal-security.mp3 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 10:40:42 CDT Rodney Weatherly Is it possible to lose your salvation?

As heaven rejoices over one sinner who turns to Christ, I also believe there is much grief when believers stop growing. Being a Christian is a commitment to follow Jesus, not for a day, or a month, or a season but the rest of your life. Most of the problems we have in our churches are a direct result of spiritual immaturity. The fifth purpose of the church is to "teach others to observe all that Christ has taught." Are you growing as a believer? Today we will look at God's five step plan for discipleship. It is not a smorgasbord. none of these steps are to be excluded. They all work in conjuction. http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/gods-plan-for-discipleship http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/gods-plan-for-discipleship.mp3 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 08:56:29 CDT Rodney Weatherly I love to see people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

The grand opening for the ROC was simply, "Amazing!" We had a crowd estimated to be around 500. It met all of my expectations. I was so excited to see our community turn out. We want to again express our appreciation for all of the dedication and hard work that so many put into the preparation for the opening. It could not have been possible without your extreme effort. I want to ask each of you to be patient. There are still some construction issues yet to be completed. We cannot announce a full operational schedule until the building is released to us from the contractor.

Does it matter if I am sprinkled or immersed? What about infant baptism? When should I be baptized? I hope today through scripture we can answer these questions and eliminate some confusion, remembering "God is not the author of confusion." P.S.

Today we will look at the esssential command given by Jesus to make disciples. Dr. Joe Aldrich tells the following story. "The party around the pool was held to celebrate the first summer in memory without a drowning at the New Orleans city pool. In honor of the occasion, 200 people gathered, including 100 certified lifeguards. As he party was breaking up and the four lifeguards on duty began to clear the pool, they found a fully dressed body in the deep end. They tried to revive Jerome Moody, 31, but it was too late. He had drowned surrounded by lifeguards celebrating their successful season." Remember: We are God's lifeguards! http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/go-make-disciples http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/go-make-disciples.mp3 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:40:07 CDT Rodney Weatherly This is the third of five messages concerning the "Purpose Driven Church".

It’s not that you’re neglecting your responsibility, but you no longer enjoy it. Somewhere along the way it’s as if you forgot what your original motivation was. This can easily happen even in our worship. The church of Ephesus was a great example. They were functioning, but without their first love. Two weeks ago we observed that the first and most important command to the church is to “love the Lord our God, with all of our heart, soul, and with all of our mind.” Today, we’re going to take a look at how the Lord confronted the apostle Peter, with this most important question: “Do you love me?” http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/a-love-test-for-the-church http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/a-love-test-for-the-church.mp3 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:57:22 CDT Rodney Weatherly Have you ever found yourself just “going through the motions” without the emotion or devotion you once had?

Why was it so popular? I believe the answer is very simple. People are searching for their purpose on this earth. Rick Warren is the pastor of Saddleback Church in Orange County California. It is one of the largest Southern Baptist Churches in our Convention. As you have heard me say, ‘This isn’t Orange County, and I’m not Rick Warren.’ That being true, I do believe there is a lot we can learn from the principles that I believe are very sound, and very Christ centered. I would like to present to you today what a “Purpose Driven Church” looks like, and how it works. Please have an open heart and an open mind. http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/becoming-a-purpose-driven-church Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:58:03 CDT Rodney Weatherly So, who hasn’t heard about Rick Warren and the “Purpose Driven Life?” It was on the New York Times best seller list for quite some time.

Perhaps you’re worried about a financial crisis or a relational issue in your home. Some of you are worried about the past, while others are worried about the future. Some may just be worried as to the length of the sermon. (Now that’s something to worry about.) Doctors tell us that many of our physical illnesses are brought on by excessive stress and anxieties. So what is the cure?

Character was important 3,000 years ago, and it’s important today. As a Christian, if we do not maintain a high level of character, we will be ineffective witnesses for Christ. In fact, we will indeed turn many away from the faith if we compromise our integrity. I am convinced there needs to be a revival of integrity among God’s people today. How’s your character?

We may never be a household name, but I’ll assure you, serving God is never in vain. Whatever you choose to do in this life, don’t be sucked in to a vacuum of strife. God has much better for your life. Remember, godliness with contentment is great gain. One day we will all stand before the Son of the living God. There we will be face to face, standing there only by His grace. He will speak each our own name, and ask us how we lived our lives. “What was your focus, what was your aim? Did you give yourself to the passing pleasures of life, or did you live a life of selfless sacrifice? Were you busy storing up earthly treasures that can not remain or did you focus on bringing honor to My name?” http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/what-is-success http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/success-what-is-it.mp3 Sun, 25 May 2008 13:58:53 CDT Rodney Weatherly Our reward on this earth may not be fortune or fame.

We discussed three foundational truths that are essential to understanding the total stewardship of our lives. First, a principle that must be understood, "God owns everything!" Second, an attitude that must be maintained is an attitude of "Thankfulness." Third, an action that must be taken is an action of "Obedience." Today we are looking at a great biblical example of a group of people who understood thes principles, and lived accordingly. http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/giving-a-way-of-living-part-ii http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/giving-a-way-of-living-part-ii.mp3 Sun, 18 May 2008 11:41:20 CDT Rodney Weatherly Two weeks ago we began a series entitled, "Giving- A Way of Living."

I see it through joy of those who have learned how to give in every area of their lives. Today, we begin a series on giving. I hope that the next few weeks we can learn together what God says about the total stewardship of our lives. I want to lay a very important foundation upon which the rest of the series will build.

That may seem like a funny question to ask people at church, but today I want each of us to answer the question "Do I love God?"

The message today is to focus on the Lord Jesus who is the cornerstone of this church and the head of the body.

After reviewing these events we will participate in the Lord's Supper. If you are a guest today, we want you to feel free to join us as we remember Jesus' sacrifice and renew our commitment to follow Him. Membership in our church is not required to participate. This is God's table, so all who belong to Him through faith in Christ are welcome here. Additionally as believers, it is important to examine ourselves to make sure our relationship with God and with each other is in good order.

He finally made his way into an old deserted town, and crawled up to an abandoned well. He anxiously turned the crank and drew up a bucket of dry worthless sand. Fortunately, just before he died Marshal Dillon showed up with a canteen of life saving water. Today we will see how Jesus brought living water to a person whose life was dry and empty. Her soul was parched with disappointments, but in Christ she found new hope, and then she took that hope to others! Each of our lives is like a well. It is either dry, stale, or flowing with life giving water! http://fbcdalhart.org/sermon/drawing-water-from-a-dry-well http://fbcdalhart.org/am_cms_media/drawing-water-from-a-dry-well.mp3 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 09:25:16 CDT Rodney Weatherly I remember an episode in “Gunsmoke” (A famous western series for you the younger among us) where Festus was in the desert for several days without water.

I am thankful to be part of this local body of believers. God has given us a wonderful opportunity to make an impact on our community and our world. I am convinced if we have the right desire and the right direction, God is going to do some awesome things through the people of First Baptist Church.

Concrete consists of several different ingredients. Individually the ingredients would not be strong enough to support a structure, but when mixed together properly it forms a solid base which will hold an incredible amount of weight. Our life is the same way. When we build our lives and our relationships on the solid rock of God's Word and God's way, it will stand.

As I shared last week, we were created by God to have realtionships. God has a plan for healthy relationships, but we must seek Him and follow His blueprint.

We all need relationships and most of us desire relationships. The key to having healthy relationships is through the understanding we must know God personally, and our relationship with Him is a growing relationship. Only as we mature in Christ can we grow in our other realtionships. In this series we will discuss how we strengthen our relationship with God, spouses, children, community and our realtionship with each other as a church family.
