Pawhuska First Podcast

Join us Sunday, April 28th at 9:30AM as we celebrate God's Kingdom work through Pawhuska First Baptist Church over the last 125 years!

True North v. Magnetic North is fascinating. True North never moves while Magnetic North is continually shifting. When Jesus calls His disciples to follow Him, He calls them to align their lives with His never shifting True North! This sermon explores the distinctions Jesus makes between those who are firmly fixed on Him as their moral true north versus those who are continually shifting with the moral changes of this world. 

Far too often we try to put Jesus in our own little comfortable box. We want just enough of what we like about Jesus that we can handle our version of Jesus. The problem though is that God cannot be fit into our box or any other box. He is perfect and holy in every way and can never be diminished in any way. For this reason, when we look at Jesus' life and ministry we see that Jesus often does the unthinkable...and aren't you glad that he does! This sermon explores these amazing truths and the blessing it is for us today.

Each and every moment of every day we have a choice to make…will we embrace the authority of Jesus and experience Him more richly, or will we deny the authority of Jesus and be left to our own devices? In this sermon we examine two cities: Nazareth and Capernaum. One embraced the authority of Jesus with astonishment and amazement. As a result, their lives were touched by Jesus and forever changed. What about you? Have you yielded to His authority and experienced His Word, His touch, and His blessed purpose?

On this Mother’s Day Sunday, we turn our attention to Luke 1 and look at the life of the mother of Jesus. In this short window into her calling to be used by God, we can learn a great deal. This sermon explores three lessons we can learn from Mary’s sacred motherhood of our Lord and Savior!

We are broken people who live in a broken world. Praise be to God who provides rescue for us! He gives us salvation over the penalty of our sin, but He also gives us His power over sin as well. This message explores Jesus’ example of power of sin and temptation. There are some great lessons and reminders for us as we consider this lesson from Luke’s Gospel in Facing Temptation!

As we being this series on what lessons we can learn from Luke’s Gospel, we begin with Luke’s account of John the Baptist and his message of repentance. John boldly calls people to not rely on their ancestry, heritage, or occupations, but rather to place their faith in God and practice repentance. This is a sure message for us today as well! 

It is Resurrection Sunday! On this day we celebrate the moment that changed history collectively and changes our future individually. It is the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead! The Bible tells us in Ephesians that the Same Power that rose Jesus from the Dead is alive in us today. What does this mean and what does this mean for me? This sermon explores the implications of this truth and calls us to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus daily!

As we wrap up this series on learning to pray the way Jesus teaches us, we finish with making sure that as we pray we yield our hearts to Jesus. In a world that geared to be all about me, it’s important to realize that my life isn’t supposed to be about me…it’s supposed to be about Jesus. To Him belongs the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever! Amen!
