Happy Easter! As we gathered to worship together on Easter Sunday, we heard the good news of the resurrection from Matthew 28. Pastor Adam highlighted the calling and willingness of two women, Mary Magdalene and another Mary, to share the amazing news they witnessed at the tomb, and he reminded us how all of us are called to share what good news we know with those around us. The choir also offered a beautiful anthem, "Empty Now," and a choral benediction, "Alleluia! Christ is Risen!"

Episode 029 - Worship - Cesar Sotomayor - Gospel Beautiful People

In worship this week, we were thrilled to host Cesar Sotomayor, a pastor and church planter in Graz, Austria. Cesar is connected to Farmville Baptist through the work of the Baptist General Association of Virginia and the European Baptist Fellowship. In worship, Cesar brought news of his work with refugees and congregational ministry. He also brought a word of encouragement: God's gospel is shared with the world through the beautiful people of God. The choir also shared their anthem, "Believer's Prayer." Let us worship God together.
Cesar Sotomayor pastors in Graz, Austria; he chronicles his work there through his Facebook page (Cesar Sotomayor | Facebook). He also serves on the mission and evangelism team for the European Baptist Federation (Mission & Evangelism | EBF).

Episode 028 - Sermon - Growing Up: A Disproportionate Response part 2 (Matthew 5:43-48)

For this week's episode of worship, we come to the end of Matthew 5 with what may be Jesus' most controversial (and, frankly, offensive) teaching: love our enemies. Pastor Adam walks us through the passage, and gets to tell one of his favorite stories from history at the same time. Ultimately, we are invited to choose the most disproportionate of responses - to love our enemies - because we are becoming more like Christ. Let us worship God together.

Episode 027 - Sermon - Growing Up: A Disproportionate Response part 1 (Matthew 5:38-42)

In this episode, we hear Jesus’ teaching about turning the other cheek, giving up more than what’s required, and going the extra mile – all incredibly disproportionate responses to those who may hurt us or try to exploit us. Yet they are not disproportionate responses of violence; rather, they are disproportionate responses of love. The choir also shares this week’s anthem, “Lonesome Valley.” Let us worship God together.
