Trinity Baptist Church - Idabel

Gearing Up: Follow Before You Serve begins with Jesus’ call to His first disciples in Mark 1:16–20. Before Jesus sent them into ministry, He first called them to Himself. As we prepare for a new season, we’re reminded that our first calling is not to a position, program, or calendar — it is to follow Jesus with surrendered hearts.

In this message, our graduates share advice and encouragement from their time at Falls Creek. Their words challenge us to stay rooted in Christ, stay connected to the church, remain in God’s Word, and live like Jesus is worth it.

Falls Creek gives us a beautiful snapshot of the church, but Acts 2:42 reminds us that the church is not built around a camp, a program, or an experience. The early church devoted themselves to the Word, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer — all centered on Jesus. In this message, we are challenged to move beyond convenient Christianity and live with steady devotion because Jesus is worthy.

In this special message, our Alaska Mission Team of 18 shares powerful testimonies from their trip and how they saw God move. From gospel conversations to unexpected moments of ministry, these stories remind us that missions is not just a place we go—it is a life we live as we follow Jesus and make Him known.

In this sermon, “The Holy Heart,” we are reminded that prayer should not be our last resort but our first response. Looking at Matthew 22, 1 Peter 5, and Matthew 5, we see that a heart connected to God is marked by humility before Him and hunger for Him. When God becomes our first priority, His presence shapes our lives, our prayers, and our church.

As we wrap up our Back to the Basics series, we turn to the mission Jesus has given every believer: to share the gospel and make disciples. Looking at the book of Acts, we explore where the mission happens, who is responsible, why it matters, and how we can live with open eyes for everyday gospel opportunities—whether in Alaska or right where God has placed our feet.

What is the church? Is it a building, a service, or something more? In this message, we discover that the church is not a place we attend occasionally, but a people redeemed by Jesus, devoted to one another, and sent on mission together. Join us as we explore God’s design for His church and our role in being more than spectators—becoming active participants in the family of God.

In this message from our “Back to the Basics” series, we dive into the truth about salvation through Ephesians 2:1–10. We’ll discover why salvation is needed, how it’s available through Jesus alone, and the purpose God has for those He saves. You can’t jump far enough, work hard enough, or be good enough to save yourself—but Jesus did for us what we could never do for ourselves.

Guest speaker Jacob Lundry brings a powerful message on spiritual toughness—challenging believers to stand firm in their faith, trust God through pressure, and keep moving forward when life gets difficult. This encouraging sermon will remind you that spiritual strength isn’t built in comfort, but through surrender, endurance, and dependence on Christ.

In this Mother’s Day message, we look at the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel and discover a powerful truth about grace: God meets us in our brokenness and gives us Himself. Whether you’re celebrating, grieving, waiting, or struggling, this message is a reminder that God sees you, walks with you, and offers grace you could never earn.
