May 17, 2026 - PLACE: Pliability
from Sermons from Pastor Steven Canfield Hosted by First Baptist Church Pittsfield
God begins by creating a place — and the place where you find yourself matters to the kingdom of God. In this first sermon of the PLACE series, Pastor Steven opens with the P: Pliability. Tracing a thread from Genesis through Jeremiah to Luke, he shows that God has always cared about where his people are planted. When the prophet Jeremiah spoke to a displaced people, his message wasn't "resist" — it was build houses, plant gardens, seek the shalom of the city. So what does it look like to stay rooted right here — not rigid, but pliable? Like a palm tree bending almost to the ground in the storm, held fast by deep roots.
