At FBC Newnan, I have the privilege of preaching the Mid-Week service. Preparing for the last sermon in our series this coming Wednesday has given me the opportunity to reflect back on the ground that we have covered. Here is a list of the sermon titles and their Scripture reference.
Forgiven and Forgiving
"I have never done anything that terrible," some might say. They’d be right. We have all done worse. We were responsible for the death of the only perfect one who ever lived – Jesus the spotless lamb of God who came to take away our sin. And this one taught us to pray for forgiveness, and he who taught us to pray for forgiveness will forgive.
Jonah & Jesus
Unplanned and HB 481
This weekend saw the opening of the pro-life movie, Unplanned. This movie recalls the true story of the conversion of a woman who grew up pro-life, but who became pro-abortion in college who then took a job working for planned parenthood. The weekend also saw a firestorm surrounding the abortion culture in America.

The Kind of Faith We Should Ask For
First Baptist Church of Newnan and Outreach
This past Sunday, the Saints called First Baptist Church of Newnan, Georgia passed a historic budget. What this means is we have decided to put more of our sail in the blustery direction of God's relentless gospel. The budget increase represents a concerted effort to be more engaged in the life of our city and county and to encourage them with the message of salvation in Christ alone. Our 2019 budget is an outreach budget.

God's Glory Alone
The conclusion to our celebration to the Reformation at 500 - God's Glory Alone!
“Why did God create the world?” Have you ever considered such a question? Why did God create the world? Why does God cause the sun to come up each morning and the stars to follow at night? Why does God allow the mountains to sit silently in place and the ocean to roar and foam? Why do newborn babies cry? Why does the butterfly come to rest on a flower and drink its nectar? The answer – All for the glory of God alone!
Faith Alone
The most important question of your life is, How can I be made right with God? Think about that question for just a moment. There are many presuppositions that undergird that question. First, there is an acknowledgment of God and that your desire is to be in right relationship with him. Second, a person who dares ask such a question acknowledges that they are not right with God. So, after all of those presuppositions have been covered, we come to the question., How can I be made right with God? What is the answer?
Amazing Grace
Christ Alone - The Sure Hope of Our Salvation
At the center of Christianity stands a Cross. But not just any cross, the Cross of Christ. From that Cross, Christ has accomplished salvation for us. Christ and Christ alone is the only way for us to be made right with God. And since he has come and accomplished redemption from the Cross, we who were once slaves to sin are now sons of God. It is essential that we have the right teaching of the Cross because the Cross is the centerpiece of our salvation. But what on earth do we mean when we say that?
Scripture Alone
This year marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the doors of the Wittenburg Church in Germany. That event was s defining moment in the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Over the month of October, I invite you to see the doctrines that sparked the Reformation - the Five Solas.
