Luke 11:2-4: “And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is [...]

To Our Graduates

Thomas Ramsey, Nathanael and Hannah Soles, “We love you and pray that this momentous occasion marks the beginning of an adult life joyfully lived for the surpassing worth of Christ Jesus the Lord!” Each word of that sentence was written with deliberate thought and sincere motivation. We love you! We are thankful that God has [...]

“Thy Will Be Done”

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 17 May 2012 11:00:38 +0000

The Lord taught – and is still teaching – His disciples how to pray, and, as one would expect from Jesus, the model prayer is all about God. By His instruction and His example we see that the focus of genuine prayer is God and His glory. We address our prayers to “Our Father in [...]

Elementary Dept. Daily Bible Reading Plan

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:10:04 +0000

God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path. We need to daily be in God;s Word so that we may daily live for Him. This is a holy habit that should be established early in life. That is why we encourage our families to read the scriptures everyday with their [...]

It is time to start preparing for church camp. Last year’s camp was a special blessing. The Holy Spirit mightily worked in our lives through camp, and we are anticipating the same thing this year. Camp forms may be found at the Welcome desk, or you may click on the following links to download printable [...]

“Hallowed Be Thy Name”

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:00:05 +0000

Prayer is not something which brings God into line with our desires. Instead, our desires are to be brought into line with His through prayer. The examples of Jacob (Genesis 28:20-22) and Gideon (Judges 6:36-40) are not patterns to follow but evidences of God’s gracious stooping to their (often our) level. The pattern to follow [...]

Missions Trip Yard Sale – IS OVER

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 13:00:46 +0000

The Crossroads and Youth departments of Rodgers Baptist Church are taking a missions trip to Mexico on July 7 through July 13. To help raise money to fund that trip they held a massive yard sale at the church property on Saturday the April, 28. The yard sale was hard work, but it proved fruitful. [...]

“Our Father”

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:00:38 +0000

Nothing could be more important in the Christian’s life than learning to pray. Our fellowship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ finds its principal expression in our praying. It is in our praying that we actually indicate the fact that we have a relationship with God; that He speaks with us, and that we [...]

Courage to be a Christlike Man

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:47:32 +0000

During the weekend of April 20-21 the men of Rodgers Baptist Church gathered together in a secluded spot of Palo Pinto county, Texas for their annual Men’s Retreat. You may click on this link to view photos from that weekend. As always, we enjoyed great food, fun camaraderie, and we sent a lot of lead [...]

How to Pray

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:00:10 +0000

We all have some things to learn about prayer, no matter how mature of a Christian we might be. We need to learn, and to continue to learn, how to pray so that our prayer lives may continue to grow and so that we may help to develop the prayer lives of others. Therefore, we [...]

“Lord, Teach Us to Pray!”

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:44:10 +0000

Our church focus for this year is Always Pray. That focus is derived from Luke 18:1. There we are told that men ought “always to pray, and not to faint.” To drive home that truth, Jesus spoke the parable of the unjust judge in Luke 18:2-8. In conjunction with our church focus our adult Sunday [...]

The School of Prayer

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:25:19 +0000

Growing up a Hoosier meant that basketball was a big deal. The stereotypes are mostly true. Hoops mounted in driveways, above barn doors, and even, in a few cases, entire courts, complete with lights, erected in backyards. Basketball is big in Indiana. Kids want to play. They want to improve their game. This means that [...]

Gary and Beverly Hampton – Fairbanks, Alaska

What is the Gospel?

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:31:20 +0000

In 1710, Britain’s Queen Anne visited a cathedral which had been designed and constructed by Sir Christopher Wren. After her tour she described the building as “awful, amusing, and artificial”. Upon hearing her words, the architect sighed with relief and satisfaction. Surprised? Don’t be; because in 1710 the word “awful” meant “awe-inspiring”; “amusing” meant “amazing” [...]

What is a Christian?

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:30:37 +0000

Ask someone to define what a Christian is and you are likely to receive a variety of answers; many and widespread are the misconceptions about Christianity. There is a vast difference between an outward profession and an inward reality; in other words, it is possible to be a Christian in name without being a Christian [...]

How to Become a Christian

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:29:10 +0000

So how does one become a Christian? Let’s consider the basics (the A, B, C and Ds) of the issue. There is something to Admit First of all you have to admit that you are a sinner, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Ro. 3:23). Our natural tendency is [...]

Faith Check

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 05:00:35 +0000

Faith is trusting in Christ alone to not only save you from your sins but to sustain you in your everyday life. Jesus Christ is the source of spiritual life (1 John 5:12), the supply for spiritual health (John 15:5), and the standard of spiritual growth (Romans 8:29). Healthy organisms are not only alive but [...]

Faith Look

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 06:00:09 +0000

Are you aware that planes have attitudes? You thought only your children (or your spouse) or only “young people” had “attitudes.” Perhaps they do, but airplanes have attitudes as well. The attitude of an aircraft is its position in relation to the horizon. Therefore, when an airplane has a nose-up attitude it is climbing. Likewise, [...]

Faith Link

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 05:00:17 +0000

The main mission of a true, New Testament church is evangelism. That is what passages like Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8, to name only a couple, teach us. The Founder of our institution – the Lord Jesus Christ – has established our mission statement: go, make disciples of all nations, baptize the converted, and teach [...]

Faith Walk

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 13:30:14 +0000

“Life is a highway. I’m gonna ride it all night long.” That is the chorus to a popular song from the early ‘90s. The song had it partially right. Life is a highway. Since it is, we will “ride it” all lifelong. We are, all of us, on a journey. Perhaps you have heard the [...]

Faith Search

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Fri, 06 May 2011 13:32:49 +0000

The Puritan Abraham Wright wrote, “What fools are we to frown upon our afflictions. They are not indeed for our pleasure, they are for our profit.” Can that possibly be true? We believe so, but if you have your doubts then consider the testimony of Corrie ten Boom. She was from Holland and was in [...]

Faith Lift

travis@rodgersbaptist.net — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:05:30 +0000

Jesus Christ defeated death. He has made a way for you and me to defeat it as well. That way was made possible because of the Resurrection. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave is the single greatest event in world history. It is the heart of the Christian faith. Without it, Christianity is [...]

We live in a biased society. That is nothing new, but it is true. There exist all kinds and types of biases: racial biases, political biases, gender biases, sports biases, to name only a few. Surely, one of the greatest biases of all is the “bias of the current”, which is simply the predisposition to [...]

Faith Force

In WWII General George Patton conducted a successful counterattack against the German forces under the command of General Erwin Rommel. Patton is reported to have shouted in the thick of the battle, “I read your book, Rommel! I read your book!” And that he had. In Rommel’s book Infantry Attacks, he had carefully detailed his [...]

We read in Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The faith spoken of is saving faith. No one is able to be saved unless the Gospel is proclaimed to them, and the Good News of Jesus Christ is only found in God’s Word. The faith spoken [...]

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) The only light that believers have to shine is the Light of Jesus Christ. That light will only shine if Christ the King is enthroned in our hearts. Christ does not [...]

We are creatures of habit, and our habits reflect our true selves because we all build our daily lives around our priorities and passions. We make time for what we truly value, building habits and routines around the things that really matter to us. As believers we should lead lives that are faith-focused and cross-centered. [...]
