Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14 and Ephesians 5, it argues that music should edify the church, not merely entertain, and must avoid worldly influences—particularly rhythm-driven styles that prioritize physical sensation over spiritual truth. The preacher warns against music that causes stumbling, especially when it carries cultural or sensual associations that contradict biblical principles, urging believers to examine their musical choices through the lens of Romans 14, where love and edification supersede personal liberty. Ultimately, the message calls the congregation to pursue musical excellence not for performance, but for genuine worship, unity, and spiritual growth, rooted in Scripture and guided by the Holy Spirit. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/62262311275946 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Justin Dye 1:08:33 no Justin Dye - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon presents a biblically grounded framework for understanding music as a vital form of spiritual ministry, emphasizing that godly music must be ordered, truthful, and Spirit-led, with melody as its primary focus.

It emphasizes that true unity is not based on personal preferences, cultural trends, or emotional convenience, but on the shared identity of all believers as members of Christ's body, where every person—regardless of background, status, or perceived value—has a vital role. Drawing from Galatians, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians, the message underscores that salvation precedes baptism and church membership, and that the Holy Spirit unites believers into one body, making each member responsible for the well-being of the whole. The preacher calls the congregation to active participation in this unity through mutual care, loving correction, and accountability, rejecting division, cancel culture, and selfishness in favor of sacrificial love and spiritual maturity. Ultimately, the church is portrayed as a living, unified organism—diverse yet harmonious—where every believer is called to live in obedience to Christ, reflecting His love and truth in word and deed. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/6226185553391 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 1:02:32 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Sunday morning audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the foundational truth that unity within the local church is possible only through salvation in Jesus Christ, grounded in Scripture and sustained by obedience to God's design.

Drawing from Revelation, Isaiah, and the example of Solomon and Daniel, it argues that corporate and personal prayer at the church's gathering—especially after preaching—fulfills Christ's command to make His house a place of prayer and is essential for spiritual awakening, national intercession, and personal renewal. The preacher contends that the decline of altar calls since the late 20th century has contributed to diminished evangelistic fervor, weakened spiritual vitality, and a misplaced focus on good activities over the best—prayer—and urges the congregation to reclaim this practice as a vital expression of love for God and a means of receiving divine power. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling believers to immediate response, intercession for leaders, families, the lost, and the nation, and to see the church as a sacred space where heaven hears when prayers are offered toward it. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/62261850407584 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Art Kohl 0:40:40 no Pastor Art Kohl - Sunday School frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon calls for a revival of the altar call as a biblically grounded practice rooted in the church's identity as a house of prayer, emphasizing that God's house should be known for prayer among all nations and people.

It emphasizes that true maturity comes not from time alone but from intentional, humble pursuit of Scripture, prayer, and spiritual disciplines, warning against complacency and the dangers of being led astray by unlearned or unstable teachings. The message applies this principle to marriage, urging couples to grow together in Christ through selfless love, humility, and shared spiritual habits, while also stressing the necessity of seeking biblical counsel and accountability to overcome relational failures. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a lifestyle of continual dependence on God's grace, where humility, repentance, and obedience are the foundation of lasting spiritual and marital health. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/528261327541540 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 27 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:50:16 no Pastor Chris Baran - Series: Are We There Yet? frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the imperative of spiritual growth in the Christian life, anchored in 2 Peter 3:18, calling believers to continually grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Drawing from key passages like Psalm 40, Isaiah 12, and Romans 12, it argues that music should not merely entertain but serve as a spiritual act of worship—declaring God's truths while cultivating a heartfelt, Spirit-led response. The message calls for a renewal of the mind, a separation from worldly influences, and a commitment to music that is both biblically grounded and spiritually alive, capable of producing lasting spiritual fruit and drawing others to faith. Ultimately, the goal is not performance but a genuine, God-centered encounter where music becomes a vessel for divine presence and transformation. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/52526017635 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Justin Dye 1:09:05 no Justin Dye - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the biblical foundation for Christian music, emphasizing that it must originate from God, be directed toward Him, and reflect a transformed life marked by spiritual authenticity rather than cultural or performative tendencies.

The preacher, assuming full pastoral responsibility after a period of deference, calls the congregation to accountability, urging both leaders and members to confront sin with biblical truth rather than cultural tolerance, while affirming that love and grace must accompany correction. He challenges the church to embrace disciplined discipleship, consistent worship attendance, and a lifestyle fully submitted to God's Word, warning that failure to do so leads to spiritual stagnation and unpreparedness for future trials. The tone is both urgent and pastoral, blending conviction with a deep desire for the church's spiritual renewal and maturity, grounded in the belief that only a Bible-based life can withstand the moral decay of the culture and secure divine blessing. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/52426235226324 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:53:22 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Sunday morning audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the imperative of biblical grounding as the foundational principle for Faith Bible Baptist Church, emphasizing that every aspect of life—actions, reactions, thoughts, and attitudes—must be rooted in the authority of Scripture, particularly the King James Bible.

Drawing from First Peter 2 and 2 Corinthians 6, it underscores that believers are 'living stones' built into a spiritual house, called not only to be accepted by God but to reflect His holiness through a life of intentional separation, surrender, and intimacy. The message contrasts the shallow comfort of mere mercy with the deeper fulfillment of fellowship, warning that spiritual maturity requires leaving behind self-righteousness, religious performance, and worldly attachments to walk in the light of Christ. It affirms that holiness leads to power, effectiveness, and lasting fruit—eternal life and divine empowerment—because only those who are consecrated become vessels prepared for every good work, bearing witness to God's presence through a life of surrendered devotion. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/52426235648041 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:43:19 no Pastor Chris Baran - Sunday School frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the transformative call to Christian consecration, emphasizing that true holiness is not merely moral behavior but a deliberate, ongoing choice to separate from the world and draw near to a holy God.

It emphasizes four foundational principles—stature and spirit, habit and heritage, business and busyness, and focus and favor—as essential for cultivating a generation ready to serve God's mission. The preacher challenges the church to examine its priorities, confronting complacency, low spiritual standards, and fear-driven parenting, while urging intentional discipleship through prayer, accountability, and exposure to godly influence. With a tone that is both convicting and pastoral, the message calls for a radical reorientation of values, urging families to prioritize eternal impact over earthly comfort, and to see every believer as a missionary in their sphere of influence. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/524262342511955 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 20 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Micah McCurry 0:59:38 no Micah McCurry - 2026 Spring Revival Meetings frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the urgent call for believers to raise their children and communities as missionaries, rooted in the example of Jesus' upbringing in Luke 2:39–52.

It highlights how Naomi's bitterness—stemming from loss and hardship—caused her to push away her daughters-in-law, including Ruth, and distorted her perception of God's faithfulness, leading her to rename herself Mara, meaning bitterness. The message emphasizes that bitterness isolates, distorts one's view of God's sovereignty, and wastes time with loved ones, while also serving as a breeding ground for rebellion. Yet, the sermon offers hope through Ruth's faithful loyalty and God's redemptive grace, illustrated in Boaz's role as kinsman redeemer, showing that even in brokenness, God can write a story of grace. The preacher calls the congregation to examine their hearts, release bitterness through accountability and prayer, and embrace a life of thankfulness, urging immediate reconciliation with those they have wronged or estranged, as such acts are essential to living in alignment with God's will. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/524262339311201 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 19 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Micah McCurry 1:09:51 no Micah McCurry - 2026 Spring Revival Meetings frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the transformative power of gratitude and the destructive nature of bitterness, using the story of Naomi from the Book of Ruth as a foundational narrative.

It calls believers to spiritual preparedness, urging consistent Bible reading, daily prayer, and intentional fellowship as essential disciplines for sustaining faith and advancing God's kingdom. Through vivid illustrations—from Kobe Bryant's relentless focus to Derek Redmond's defiant finish—the preacher underscores that Christian perseverance requires grit, grace, and a clear sense of purpose, even amid personal failure or external setbacks. The message challenges the congregation to examine their spiritual habits, reject complacency, and embrace accountability, reminding them that God's work is ongoing and demands active participation. Ultimately, the sermon invites a personal commitment to Christ, calling individuals to consecrate their lives, remain present in the body of Christ, and trust that God will complete what He has begun. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/524262329527977 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 18 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Micah McCurry 0:58:20 no Micah McCurry - 2026 Spring Revival Meetings frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the enduring truth that God's work in the world is not yet complete, drawing from Acts 1:1–8 to emphasize that Jesus' mission continues through His followers.

It calls believers to embrace God's Word as the ultimate blueprint for life, family, and church, warning against improvisation, spiritual complacency, and the tendency to replace divine design with personal ambition or worldly distractions. The preacher underscores that true discipleship requires surrendering all, aligning with scriptural principles, and relying on divine wisdom rather than human opinion, especially during times of transition. Drawing from Genesis 2, he highlights the sacred design of marriage as a divine solution to human loneliness, urging spouses to honor God's blueprint rather than blaming one another or seeking fulfillment in secondary pursuits. Ultimately, the message is a pastoral and convicting call to foundational faithfulness, reminding listeners that lasting spiritual work demands wisdom, humility, and adherence to God's eternal plan. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/524262316585478 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Micah McCurry 0:41:18 no Micah McCurry - 2026 Spring Revival Meetings frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)This sermon, rooted in Luke 14:28–33, emphasizes the necessity of deliberate planning and sacrificial commitment in Christian discipleship, using the metaphor of building a tower or waging war to illustrate the importance of counting the cost before beginning any significant endeavor.

Through a journey from Abel's offering to the Passover lamb, the Day of Atonement, and culminating in John the Baptist's declaration, the message emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for all humanity—offering salvation not by human effort or religious ritual, but by grace through faith. The preacher underscores the urgency of personal response, calling listeners to examine their spiritual condition and accept Christ's free gift of salvation, warning that without this, no amount of good works or religious activity can atone for sin. With a pastoral tone, the sermon invites both assurance and honest confession, offering immediate opportunity for guidance and prayer to help individuals know with certainty their eternal standing before God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/524262320242461 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Micah McCurry 0:48:06 no Micah McCurry - 2026 Spring Revival Meetings frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the redemptive significance of Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, tracing His role from the first sacrifice in Genesis to the ultimate atonement in Revelation, where He alone is worthy to open the sealed book of God's divine plan.

Through a passionate call to move beyond superficial religious routines and emotional revivals, the preacher urges believers to deepen their knowledge of Christ—understanding His nature, redemption, relationship, and resources—so that their lives reflect genuine love, obedience, and commitment. The message warns against spiritual complacency, where faith is reduced to head knowledge without heart transformation, and challenges the congregation to examine their relationship with Christ, their love for one another, and their willingness to surrender fully to Him. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a renewed devotion rooted in biblical truth, where knowing Christ leads to a life of worship, service, and sacrificial love, with the Holy Spirit as the abiding presence and guide. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/52426232462113 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Micah McCurry 0:51:21 no Micah McCurry - 2026 Spring Revival Meetings frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the transformative reality of Christ as revealed in 1 John, emphasizing that true faith is not merely intellectual assent but a living, personal encounter with Jesus as the incarnate Word, the sinless Son, the propitiation for sin, and the eternal light.

It emphasizes that true wisdom involves seeing life from God's perspective—walking circumspectly, redeeming time, and resisting the temptation to let work, technology, or ministry replace intimate, face-to-face connection. Through biblical examples like Mary and Martha, and illustrations such as the steamboats, the message warns against emotional drift, stress, and resentment in marriage, urging couples to schedule regular, meaningful time together and to be filled with the Holy Spirit rather than consumed by worldly distractions. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that a strong marriage is not incidental but foundational, reflecting God's design and impacting the broader family, church, and society when rooted in Christ-centered priorities and surrendered wills. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/524262310201812 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 13 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:45:45 no Pastor Chris Baran - Series: Are We There Yet? frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon, drawn from Ephesians 5:15–18, calls believers to intentional living in a culture of busyness by prioritizing their relationship with God and their spouse above all else.

Drawing from passages such as Colossians 1:16–17, Revelation 4:11, and Job 38:7, it affirms that music predates humanity and is part of God's creation, with angels, nature, and redeemed souls praising Him through song.

Centered on Esther's pivotal role in saving the Jewish people from annihilation under King Ahasuerus, the sermon highlights four essential characteristics: she was a woman of prayer, earnestly fasting and calling others to intercession before risking her life; a woman of courage, stepping into the king's presence uninvited, knowing she might die; a woman of discretion, speaking with wisdom, restraint, and strategic timing; and a woman of action, boldly reversing evil decrees and dismantling spiritual enemies to bring peace and deliverance. The message calls mothers to embrace their God-given authority and responsibility, to pray fervently, to stand courageously against cultural and spiritual threats, to speak with godly wisdom, and to act decisively in defense of their families and faith, all while trusting in the unseen hand of God who works through faithful, prayerful, and courageous women. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/524261350275228 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:53:37 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Sunday morning audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)Though the Book of Esther never mentions God by name, it reveals a powerful testament to faith, courage, and divine providence through the life of a woman who, though not a biological mother, exemplifies the godly womanhood that every mother and Christian woman should aspire to.

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:11, it underscores the urgency of evangelism rooted in the 'terror of the Lord'—a holy, just, and powerful God whose judgment demands a response, not passive waiting. The preacher uses the metaphor of fishing to illustrate that while salvation is God's work, believers are called to actively 'draw the net' by giving clear, timely invitations to receive Christ, rejecting the idea of delaying salvation through vague appeals to 'think about it.' The message affirms that faith and salvation are simple—received by believing and calling on the Lord—and supported by biblical examples of mass conversions, while cautioning against the danger of leaving people on the 'hook' without pressing for a decision.

The speaker illustrates this through powerful personal stories—of a dying man in the ICU, a 63-year-old woman who led 253 to Christ, and a youth who led others to salvation—demonstrating that with proper preparation and reliance on the Holy Spirit, anyone can be effective. The sermon calls the congregation to embrace evangelism as a lifestyle, not a one-time event, and to prepare through study, prayer, and intentional outreach, especially in the context of a changing community and upcoming opportunities like the fair and new church property.

Drawing from Philippians 1:6, it emphasizes that true confidence arises from knowing God has begun a good work in believers and will complete it, a confidence rooted in divine sovereignty rather than human effort. The message warns against placing trust in people, self, wealth, strength, or wisdom—sources that inevitably fail—instead exhorting listeners to fix their confidence in the Lord, who is faithful, powerful, and ever-present. Through illustrations like David and Goliath, the sermon underscores that victory comes not through human might but through reliance on God, and it calls believers to examine where their first response is in times of trial as a test of their true source of confidence. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that God's work in salvation—past, present, and future—is secure, and that resisting sin is essential to maintaining assurance, for sin erodes confidence while grace sustains it. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/426262128392804 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Various Speakers 0:26:20 no Various Speakers - A Wednesday evening audio mess frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the biblical call to live as confident Christians, grounded not in circumstances, personal achievement, or human relationships, but in the unshakable promise of God's faithfulness.

Drawing from Colossians 2 and 3, it emphasizes that while believers are already complete in Christ and freed from condemnation, spiritual growth requires intentional effort: mortifying sinful desires, setting affections on heavenly things, and renewing the mind through biblical knowledge. The preacher warns against the deceptive influence of worldly philosophies and self-reliance, urging a return to disciplined obedience, humility, forgiveness, and love as evidence of genuine transformation. Ultimately, the message calls for a personal, daily decision to pursue holiness, reject spiritual complacency, and prioritize a Christ-centered life, trusting that God's grace enables the very transformation He commands. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/426262120136781 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Justin Dye 0:56:24 no Justin Dye - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the imperative for believers to actively 'put on the new man'—a deliberate, ongoing choice to live in alignment with Christ's finished work, rooted in Scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Drawing from John 21:15–17, it highlights how Jesus publicly reinstates Peter after his threefold denial, using the same question to heal his brokenness, reaffirm his leadership, and reestablish his purpose as a shepherd of God's flock. The message underscores that true motivation for Christian service is not driven by recognition, comfort, or even spiritual achievements, but by a heart surrendered to God's love, which naturally overflows into faithful care for others. It warns against reducing God's blessings to mere material gain or using them as a substitute for relationship, and calls believers to examine their motives, reenlist in discipleship, and embrace the cost of following Christ, even unto sacrifice.

Drawing from First Peter 2:3–9 and Exodus 29, it emphasizes that true holiness is not earned by works but received by grace, and must be actively surrendered back to God in daily devotion, prayer, and obedience. The preacher warns against spiritual complacency, religious performance, and self-reliance, highlighting how even good deeds done in the flesh are rendered ineffective without a consecrated heart. He calls the church to a deeper encounter with God, urging believers to prepare their hearts before worship, to yield fully to the Holy Spirit, and to embrace sacrifice, humility, and surrender as the pathway to genuine spiritual power and divine presence.

It emphasizes that true contentment is not self-sufficiency but a deep reliance on God as the ultimate provider, rejecting covetousness and comparison while valuing eternal over temporal things. The preacher calls believers to live with a stewardship mindset—working diligently, budgeting wisely, giving generously, enjoying God's blessings, and saving prudently—because all things belong to God and are entrusted to us for His glory. This lifestyle of godliness and contentment, rooted in faith and dependence on Christ, leads to great spiritual gain and protects against the destructive lure of materialism, ultimately freeing the heart to pursue eternal purposes and intimate fellowship with God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/42726162656624 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 08 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:45:29 no Pastor Chris Baran - Series: Are We There Yet? frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the biblical principle of contentment as a posture of trust in God's sovereignty and sufficiency, grounded in Scripture from Hebrews 13 and 1 Timothy 6.

Though Job was truly upright and blameless, his suffering led him to accuse God of injustice and claim his righteousness surpassed God's, revealing a mindset focused on earthly achievements rather than divine purpose. The preacher emphasizes that God's ultimate goal is not merely to vindicate Job but to deepen his spiritual maturity, which required Elihu's rebuke and ultimately God's personal revelation. The key message is that true spiritual growth comes not from accumulating good deeds or ministry achievements, but from surrendering one's self-righteousness, embracing humility, and allowing God to reshape the heart—leading to a renewed relationship where capacity for service is doubled not by human effort, but by divine transformation. The call to the congregation is a sober invitation to examine whether they are still open to God's refining work or have become hardened in their self-perceived righteousness. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/427261625393038 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Justin Dye 0:56:26 no Justin Dye - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the spiritual danger of self-justification, using Job's story to illustrate how even a righteous life can become spiritually stagnant when rooted in self-righteousness rather than a living relationship with God.

It argues that the disciples' confusion and sorrow at the empty tomb stemmed from failing to internalize Christ's clear teachings about His death and resurrection, a failure that mirrors the modern Christian's tendency to neglect Scripture, leading to ineffective living and spiritual stagnation. Through the two questions Jesus posed—'Why weepest thou?' and 'Whom seekest thou?'—the message calls believers to examine their lives: are they mourning in ignorance, or rejoicing in the living God who is actively transforming them? The sermon passionately urges a return to the Bible as the source of truth, power, and identity, warning that without it, Christians become like those who serve dead gods, lacking real change and influence.

The message warns that discontentment, fueled by societal pressures and amplified by social media, leads to relational breakdowns, especially in marriage, and undermines the believer's confidence in divine provision.

It emphasizes that true fellowship with God requires surrender to His will, as Jonah's flight from divine command led to personal turmoil, disruption of others, and a loss of divine intimacy. The message highlights God's grace in offering second chances, yet warns against presuming on that grace, urging believers to embrace repentance and obedience as acts of love and accountability.

Central to the message is the truth that no sinner can approach God on the basis of their own merit, religion, or effort—only through Christ, the 'son of sorrow' and 'son of the right hand,' who alone is acceptable to God. The narrative illustrates the necessity of repentance, as Jacob's initial resistance to sending Benjamin symbolizes the flesh's opposition to the gospel, while the eventual surrender to God's condition reflects genuine conversion. The sermon emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice is the only way to forgiveness, fellowship, and divine favor, and that believers must continually remain dependent on Him, for without Him, all spiritual life and hope are lost.

It emphasizes that spiritual warfare is real, and when God moves, Satan often counterattacks, but God never abandons His people—He ministers through quiet strength, physical provision, and personal encounters, as seen in Elijah's experience of divine sustenance and the still, small voice.

It distinguishes between formal, planned instruction and the more frequent, impactful informal teaching moments, using Jesus as the ultimate example of both. The message calls the church to cultivate a culture of intentional, Christ-centered teaching through three key principles: creating an environment of acceptance where learning thrives without fear; employing varied methods such as telling, demonstrating, and asking questions; and ensuring that truth is communicated in practical, tangible ways that lead to real-life application. Ultimately, the sermon urges every Christian to develop the skill of teaching as a means of deepening understanding, fostering spiritual growth, and fulfilling the biblical mandate to make disciples. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/32326034142059 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Mike O'Mara 0:43:43 no Mike O'Mara - Sunday School frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)This sermon emphasizes that teaching—distinct from preaching—is a vital, practical responsibility for every believer, not just ordained ministers, grounded in Scripture such as 1 Timothy 2 and Matthew 28's Great Commission.

It emphasizes that while all things are lawful for the believer, not all are beneficial or edifying, and Christians must exercise discernment in cultural practices—especially those with pagan origins—lest they become stumbling blocks to others or compromise their spiritual integrity. Drawing from Romans 14 and 2 Peter 2, the message calls for a balanced approach: avoiding outright idolatry and harmful influences while recognizing that mere cultural symbols, when not engaged with spiritual intent, are not inherently sinful. The ultimate standard is to act in love, with conscience and conviction, always seeking to glorify God and protect the spiritual well-being of fellow believers, especially the young and vulnerable. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/32126020584365 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Justin Dye 0:45:04 no Justin Dye - A Wednesday evening audio mess frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the biblical principle that covetousness and idolatry are inseparable, rooted in the human tendency to seek fulfillment outside of God's will, as illustrated through the Israelites' wilderness rebellion and Paul's warnings in 1 Corinthians 10.

Drawing from Scripture, including Psalm 109, Mark 16:15, and Ephesians 2:8–9, it underscores that evangelism is a divine command, not a suggestion, and that believers are called to testify to God's faithfulness in their lives. The message is both a personal exhortation and a missionary appeal, highlighting the spiritual darkness in Scotland and the need for faithful witness, while affirming that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary purposes.

Drawing from Hebrews 11 and the narrative in Judges 6–8, it emphasizes that God uses broken, humble individuals not because of their strength, but because of His sovereign grace and presence. Key themes include the necessity of private faithfulness—evidenced in Gideon's destruction of his father's idols—patience in God's timing, and the testing of faith through trials, such as the fleece incident, which reveal that God honors even struggling faith. The sermon underscores that true power comes not from human numbers or ability, but from divine intervention, as seen in the miraculous victory of 300 men over 135,000 Midianites, demonstrating that God's strength is made perfect in weakness.

Each Beatitude is unpacked with biblical examples—like Peter's repentance and David's restraint—to illustrate how these counter-cultural paths lead to divine comfort, inheritance, fulfillment, and eternal reward. The message underscores that these conditions are not mere moral advice but transformative spiritual realities that align the believer with God's kingdom, where suffering and sacrifice are ultimately honored and rewarded.

It underscores that anger must not persist, as unaddressed offense breeds bitterness and grieves the Holy Spirit, while also warning against the danger of superficial or performative repentance without genuine behavioral change. The preacher highlights that forgiveness is not merely an emotional release but a relational restoration that demands humility, specificity in confession, acknowledgment of hurt, and willingness to accept consequences, all grounded in Christ's model of grace.

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 6 and other New Testament passages, it emphasizes that true spiritual warfare involves resisting the temptation to bypass God's will in pursuit of personal desires—whether for peace, health, prosperity, or comfort—by turning to occult practices, worldly systems, or self-reliance. The preacher illustrates this through cultural examples from Papua New Guinea, showing how animistic beliefs and spiritual deception persist, yet are rooted in a deeper human tendency to seek fulfillment outside of God's ordained means. Scripture reveals that covetousness is idolatry, rebellion is akin to witchcraft, and any attempt to obtain what God has withheld through unauthorized means constitutes spiritual unfaithfulness. The call is clear: believers must separate from all forms of spiritual compromise, embrace God's timing and provision, and live in faithful obedience, trusting that He alone is the source of true peace, joy, and victory. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/3826234717924 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Justin Dye 1:01:17 no Justin Dye - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the pervasive danger of idolatry in the modern Christian life, not merely in the form of physical idols but in the heart's covetousness and rebellion against God's provision.

Central to this transformation is the personal, humbling meeting with Jesus, who identifies Himself as the Christ and reveals that persecuting the church is persecuting Him, thereby convicting Saul of his error and initiating a radical shift from opposition to devotion. Through obedience, consecration, and the instrumental help of Ananias and Barnabas, Saul—now Paul—embraces his new identity, boldly preaching Christ despite persecution and rejection, ultimately becoming a vessel for God's redemptive plan among both Jews and Gentiles.

Drawing from Matthew 5:10–12, the message underscores that persecution, though painful, is a divine validation of one's faith, echoing the suffering of Old Testament prophets and early Christians, and pointing to the ultimate reward in heaven. The preacher connects this beatitude to the broader biblical narrative of God's redemptive plan, including the rapture, the tribulation, the millennial reign of Christ, and the final new creation, where suffering will be no more.

Through the lens of 2 Thessalonians 1, it emphasizes that true Christian calling is not defined by visible success but by faithfulness to Christ, even when results are unseen. The preacher underscores three essential elements of a life worthy of that calling: being counted worthy through consistent identification with Christ, fulfilling God's will by living as a 'living sacrifice' in holiness and service, and empowering the 'work of faith' through obedience, witness, and perseverance. The message is both a personal testimony and a pastoral exhortation, urging listeners to live with eternal perspective, knowing that Christ's return demands readiness, accountability, and a life glorifying to God, not for personal gain but for His eternal purposes. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/3526052521597 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 04 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Jeremy Blanz 0:58:59 no Jeremy Blanz - A Wednesday evening audio mess frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the enduring faithfulness required of believers in the face of hardship, drawing from the missionary journey of a couple who, after planting a church in Nicaragua, were redirected to Costa Rica due to political turmoil and pandemic challenges.

It emphasizes that exhortation is not mere advice or judgment, but a loving, Spirit-led call to draw near—modeled after Christ's ministry and exemplified in the early church's unity across ethnic and cultural divides, as seen in the conversion of Cornelius and the growth of the church in Antioch. The message unpacks the 'who' (all believers), 'what' (provoking love for God and righteous living), and 'when' (especially in gathered worship and daily life), drawing from 1 Thessalonians and Titus to show that exhortation must be rooted in sincerity, humility, and personal example, not manipulation or pride. It warns against gossip and broken trust while affirming that genuine exhortation strengthens faith, fosters accountability, and prepares the church for Christ's return, especially in times of increasing moral decline. Ultimately, the sermon calls the congregation to embrace this ministry with patience, courage, and mutual care, recognizing that spiritual growth is a shared, relational journey. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/3226035301770 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:46:44 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the biblical imperative of exhortation as a vital expression of Christian community, rooted in Hebrews 10:24–25, where believers are called to provoke one another to love and good works through intentional, close relationships.

Through the narrative of Exodus 3, the preacher emphasizes that God meets individuals not in their strength, but in their weakness—addressing Moses' insecurity, self-doubt about his speech, and fear of isolation—each time affirming, 'I will be with you.' The core message is that God does not call the qualified, but qualifies the called, empowering believers through His presence, name, and grace.

Drawing from Scripture, it underscores the inherent corruption of the human heart, as revealed in both the Old and New Testaments, yet affirms that through faith, repentance, and the work of the Holy Spirit, purity of heart is attainable and leads to profound joy and intimate communion with God. The preacher emphasizes that a pure heart, cleansed of impurity and aligned with God's will, enables believers to see God by faith, much like Moses who endured trials by focusing on the invisible reward. Furthermore, peacemaking is portrayed not as passive compromise but as active participation in God's redemptive mission, reflecting His nature as the ultimate reconciler, and calling believers to pursue peace in personal relationships, society, and even in geopolitical realities, trusting that true peace comes through justice, strength, and divine sovereignty. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/3126235492968 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Art Kohl 0:40:37 no Pastor Art Kohl - Sunday School frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the sixth and seventh Beatitudes—blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God, and blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God—presenting a radical, counter-cultural vision of true happiness rooted in spiritual purity and divine reconciliation.

The preacher underscores that faith, nurtured through Scripture and prayer, is essential to overcome doubt, maintain spiritual vitality, and walk in divine victory, warning that without faith, even good works become sin.

Drawing from Ephesians 4 and 2 Peter 3:18, it underscores that growth is motivated by glory to God, not personal pride, and is sustained by the Holy Spirit through the truth of Scripture, which is the essential tool for building up believers. The passage highlights God's purpose in equipping the church through diverse spiritual gifts—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—for the perfecting of saints, the work of ministry, and the unity of faith in Christ. Crucially, this edification must be carried out in love, with humility and sensitivity, avoiding arrogance or judgment, and instead reflecting Christ's selfless example. The sermon concludes with a call to every believer, regardless of age or experience, to actively participate in building up others, recognizing that each person has a unique role in the body of Christ, and that true usefulness is found in yielding to God's Spirit and serving others for their spiritual growth. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/22326028212121 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:46:49 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the biblical imperative for spiritual growth rooted in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that true maturity is not self-achievement but a divine process of edification through the body of Christ.

Beginning with Jacob's history as a deceiver—defined by manipulation, deceit, and self-reliance—the narrative traces his journey from fleeing his past to returning to Bethel, the very place of his earlier dream and promise, as a deliberate act of consecration. In solitude, Jacob wrestles with a divine figure, symbolizing a profound confrontation with his sin, pride, and fear, ultimately leading to his surrender and a new identity as Israel, meaning 'one who struggles with God and prevails.' This encounter, marked by physical injury and lasting humility, signifies the cost of true transformation: the relinquishing of self-worth, cunning, and control in favor of dependence on God. The sermon emphasizes that genuine spiritual growth requires such painful yet necessary encounters—where conviction leads not to despair but to grace, where humility opens the door to divine blessing, and where reconciliation with others becomes possible only after reconciliation with God. The message culminates in a call to all believers to embrace this wrestling match, to stop relying on their own wisdom, and to pursue a life of consecration, where God's rule supersedes self-rule, and where the promise of restoration is found not in human effort, but in divine encounter. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/22226174028837 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:47:35 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Sunday morning audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on Jacob's transformative encounter with God at Peniel, a pivotal moment in his life marked by divine wrestling, personal surrender, and spiritual renewal. Beginning with Jacob's history as a deceiver—defined by manipulation, deceit, and self-reliance—the narrative traces his journey from fleeing his past to returning to Bethel, the very place of his earlier dream and promise, as a deliberate act of consecration. In solitude, Jacob wrestles with a divine figure, symbolizing a profound confrontation with his sin, pride, and fear, ultimately leading to his surrender and a new identity as Israel, meaning 'one who struggles with God and prevails.' This encounter, marked by physical injury and lasting humility, signifies the cost of true transformation: the relinquishing of self-worth, cunning, and control in favor of dependence on God.

Drawing from Matthew 5:6, it emphasizes that true happiness comes not from worldly pursuits like wealth, fame, or entertainment—often described as 'broken cisterns' that cannot satisfy—but from a deep, personal longing for God's moral and spiritual integrity. The preacher contrasts the emptiness of materialism with the abundant life found in Christ, illustrating how righteousness extends beyond personal morality to include a desire for justice and virtue in society, as seen in biblical examples like Noah and Abraham. The message calls believers to pursue God with wholehearted devotion, trusting that He will satisfy the deepest longings of the soul, and to live out this righteousness through mercy—forgiving others and actively serving those in need, reflecting Christ's own character. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled, and those who show mercy will receive it, as God's provision is sufficient and eternal. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/22226174273977 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Art Kohl 0:40:49 no Pastor Art Kohl - Sunday School frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon presents a transformative exploration of the Beatitudes, focusing on the path of spiritual hunger and thirst for righteousness as a source of lasting joy and fulfillment.

Drawing from Ephesians 4:26–32, it identifies bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, and malice as burdens that hinder spiritual progress and open doors to the enemy, emphasizing that unresolved offense damages not only the marriage but also one's walk with God. The message underscores that forgiveness is not suppression of pain but a deliberate act of releasing the right to judgment to God, trusting Him as the ultimate judge, and following Christ's model of reconciliation through direct, humble confrontation—rebuking with love, seeking repentance, and extending grace.

It emphasizes that being in God's presence does not guarantee a right response, as Cain's rejection of God's preference for Abel's blood sacrifice revealed a heart lacking humility and contrition. The message underscores that God's correction is rooted in love, not condemnation, and that unresolved anger and hatred—even without physical violence—are spiritually equivalent to murder, as taught in Scripture. Through a call to self-examination, the preacher urges believers to cultivate a broken spirit, repent quickly, and remain in God's presence, where joy, strength, and true fellowship are found, warning that rejecting God's grace leads to a life of exile and separation, as Cain ultimately chose to say, 'I'm out,' rather than 'I'm in.' https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/215261732241230 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:46:59 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Sunday morning audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the tragic story of Cain from Genesis 4, using his life as a sobering illustration of the consequences of pride, unrepentant attitude, and spiritual distance from God.

The sermon identifies common destructive patterns—such as denial, withdrawal, spiritualizing problems, harboring past grievances, attacking the person rather than the issue, blaming, seeking to win at all costs, avoiding conflict through submission, and reacting in anger—as roadblocks that deepen division. In contrast, the biblical solution is rooted in grace, humility, and intentional pursuit of peace, modeled by Christ and grounded in Scripture such as Romans 14:19 and James 1:19. True resolution requires listening, taking personal responsibility, seeking God's wisdom together through prayer and Scripture, forgiving freely, and cultivating a spirit of mutual edification.

It challenges the cultural tendency to push through suffering without rest, using David's decision to send the weak behind at the Brook Besor as a biblical model for recognizing when to pause, heal, and seek God's direction before engaging in spiritual battle. The message underscores that spiritual strength is not measured by relentless activity but by faithful dependence on God, with Scripture affirming that God disciplines those He loves and calls His people to repentance, restoration, and renewal. It calls the church to embrace a posture of humility, where those who are faint are comforted and supported rather than shamed, and where personal holiness and inner healing are prioritized before ministry.

Rooted in 1 Peter 1:5–8 and amplified by Jesus' teaching in Luke 6:27–35, it emphasizes that true charity is not reciprocal or transactional but a sacrificial, Spirit-led love that extends even to enemies and the unthankful, mirroring God's own grace. The message warns against misusing Christian liberty by neglecting the impact of one's actions on weaker believers, using 1 Corinthians 8 as a model for how knowledge without charity can harm, while charity edifies, covers sins through repentance, and avoids becoming a stumbling block. Ultimately, it calls the church to a life of intentional, Spirit-empowered love—marked by self-denial, accountability, and a longing to leave a lasting, fruitful legacy for future generations. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/2126221130483 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 28 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Chris Baran 0:43:06 no Pastor Chris Baran - A Wednesday evening audio mess frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the biblical concept of charity—God's selfless, unconditional love—as the ultimate expression of faith, calling believers to actively cultivate it alongside other virtues like virtue, knowledge, temperance, and patience.

It emphasizes that while salvation brings a complete, once-for-all cleansing of sin, ongoing fellowship with God and one another requires continual spiritual maintenance—symbolized by the need to wash feet, representing the humility and responsibility to restore broken relationships. The preacher underscores that believers, having been reconciled to God through Christ, are called to embody the ministry of reconciliation by forgiving, bearing one another's burdens, and actively healing divisions, even when they did not cause the harm. Drawing from passages like 1 John 1:9, Galatians 6:1–2, and Luke 15, the message calls the church to reject self-righteousness and cliquishness, embracing instead a posture of grace, vulnerability, and active restoration. Ultimately, true joy and spiritual health are found not in perfection but in the willingness to serve, forgive, and reconcile—reflecting Christ's own sacrificial love and enabling the church to become a living testament to God's redemptive work. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbbc-eden/sermons/28261740522612 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Justin Dye 0:45:19 no Justin Dye - A Sunday evening audio message frank@fbbc.com (Frank Broughton)The sermon centers on the profound spiritual principle of mutual reconciliation and humble service, drawn from Jesus' act of washing the disciples' feet in John 13.

It begins with self-love, the natural starting point, and moves through natural affection—love for family and community—before advancing to spiritual love, the command to love God with all one's being, which is both the greatest and most demanding of the commandments. The ultimate goal, however, is perfect love, as revealed in 1 John, where love is perfected through obedience, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the eradication of fear, enabling believers to live boldly in service and witness.

Drawing from key Scripture passages—Matthew 25's parables of the wise and foolish virgins and the talents, 1 Timothy 5:8 on caring for one's household, and Ecclesiastes 7:11–12 on wisdom and wealth—the preacher illustrates that financial foresight, investing, and disciplined saving are consistent with biblical principles of prudence, responsibility, and care for others. The central teaching is that consistently investing 15% of one's income in tax-advantaged accounts, particularly through diversified growth stock mutual funds, can yield a sustainable, lifelong income through compound growth, with historical evidence showing the stock market's long-term reliability despite short-term volatility. The message is especially urgent for younger listeners, who can leverage time to build substantial wealth with modest contributions, while older individuals are encouraged not to despair, as meaningful progress is still possible with disciplined action.

The central teaching is that consistently investing 15% of one's income in tax-advantaged accounts, particularly through diversified growth stock mutual funds, can yield a sustainable, lifelong income through compound growth, with historical evidence showing the stock market's long-term reliability despite short-term volatility. The message is especially urgent for younger listeners, who can leverage time to build substantial wealth with modest contributions, while older individuals are encouraged not to despair, as meaningful progress is still possible with disciplined action. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to view retirement planning not as a worldly pursuit but as a spiritual discipline of faithfulness, preparation, and love for family and future generations.baptist,independent,baptist,preaching,sermons,Christian,fundamental,Bible,King,James,Bible
