The Farmville Baptist Church Podcast

Episode 123 - Worship - Carrying the Fire in New Directions (Acts 16:6-15)

We wrap up our study of the church in Acts as it carried the fire of God's Spirit in new directions!

Episode 122 - Worship - Carrying the Fire as a Team (Acts 15:36-16:5)

We continue our look at how the early church carried the fire of God's Spirit and how we can learn to carry the fire today.

Episode 121 - Worship - Carrying the Fire through Controversy (Acts 15)

Controversy is part of life - but we can still walk through controversy together as we carry the fire of the Spirit!

Episode 120 - Worship - Carrying the Fire to the World (Acts 13-14)

We return to our look at how the early church carried the fire of the Holy Spirit - and changed the world!

Episode 119 - Worship - Guest Preacher Glenn Maddox - Going Where You Don't Want to Go (Luke 10:25-37)

We welcome Rev. Glenn Maddox, National Missions Director for the BGAV, to the pulpit this week.

Episode 118 - Worship - Carrying the Fire as a Community (Acts 11:19-30)

As we continue pondering what it means to carry the fire of God's Spirit, we hear the story of the Antioch church and the revolutionary ways they carried the fire - together.

Episode 117 - Worship - Carrying the Fire Beyond Our Tribe (Acts 10)

It is so easy to become siloed in our world - to see the world only through the eyes of our own experience and connect with people who are like us.  Yet the Gospel tells us that God loves everyone, and the church is to move out of the silos the world tries to put us in and into the joyful reality of a community of believers across all dividing lines.  This is a hard lesson to learn, though - even Peter needed divine help to live into God's vision for the church and the kingdom of God.

Episode 116 - Worship - Carrying the Fire to Comfort Hurting People (Acts 9:31-43)

Carrying the Spirit's fire will often mean we care for and help those who are hurting, grieving, or suffering.  Peter showed how the early church did this in the stories of Aeneas and Tabitha.

Episode 115 - Worship - Carrying the Fire for All Who Seek God (Acts 8:26-40)

We continue to ponder how we are called to carry the fire of God's Spirit with the story of Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch, from Acts 8:26-40.  Pastor Adam helps us ponder if there is anyone who we don't think "fits in," and whether or not we can say "no" to someone seeking God when Jesus has said "yes."

Episode 114 - Worship - Carrying the Fire with Humility (Acts 8:4-25)

We continue our series on carrying the fire of the Spirit by thinking together how we imitate Christ through our humility as we serve God.
Just before the sermon, Pastor Adam also speaks briefly about the recent choices of the Southern Baptist Convention concerning women in ministry.
