First Baptist Church - Milton, FL

On the heels of one of Jesus' prayers, he extends an amazing invitation for his followers to find rest. We can grow weary in every aspect of life: physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. We can also grow weary spiritually. We can grow weary even in prayer.

We unpack several reasons why heaven may seem silent, and be encouraged with the reminder that, regardless of the speed or type of response we receive, God is always at work when we pray!

We hold several truths in tension: realizing that God's purposes are unchanging, God's plans are unfolding, and our prayers are unignored.

We look at how Daniel prayed in the crisis moments but his faith was prepared by his daily prayer life.

We talk about how we grow through prayer while being on God's timeline, not the world's.

We dig into the areas Jesus emphasized as he taught the disciples and us about prayer.

We learn how Jesus instructs us to pray as we examine two parables he shared with the disciples.

We consider the greatest resolution keeper of all time - the Lord himself!

We focus on Ephesians 6:10-24, which teaches us the truth that, in Christ, we are victorious!

We learn how, in Christ, we are valued.

God's love for us in Christ is different from any other kind of love, and it changes us both now and forever!

We learn about the privilege of being adopted into God's family.

We learn from Paul's words in Ephesians that, in Christ, we are forgiven, and we see the relationship between receiving forgiveness from God and extending forgiveness to others.

When you encounter Jesus, it changes things. Why? We look at how we are made new in Christ.

Paul discusses at least three gifts God gives to those who are in Christ. Those gifts, however, aren't to be used selfishly, but selflessly as we steward them well.

We examine the reality that, in Christ, we are heard by our Father.

For those not in Christ, affliction becomes their identity. For those who have a relationship with Jesus, their identity in Christ enables them to endure their affliction differently.

We look at how, in Christ, we are first reconciled to God, which enables us to be reconciled to one another.

We examine the greatest rescue story ever told: salvation.

We examine how the believer is appreciated by Christ and how an unbeliever can be in Christ.

We spend time in Ephesians 1:3-14 understanding the spiritual blessings that are in the heavens for those who are in Christ.

We unpack what it means to be a saint in Christ Jesus.

We unpack what the words “in Christ” mean and the difference they can make in our lives.

Who do you think you are?

We examine how to reconnect with God by being the ministers of reconciliation that he's called us to be as we live out the gospel and share it with our friends and family.

We learn important truths from James about how we can reconnect to God through prayer.

Learn from Jesus' parable about the privilege and responsibility we have as stewards of God's gifts of grace to us.

Reconnecting to God through...

We are reminded that God's got a plan!

We study Daniel's prayer and get a rare glimpse behind the scenes to learn how prayer works in heaven.

The prophecy given to Daniel then is a great encouragement to those who follow Jesus today!

Whether it was an edict from Nebuchadnezzar or a threat to be sent to the lions' den by Darius, Daniel's faith would not flinch.

God gave the Babylonian King, Belshazzar, a few warnings. He failed to learn from them, but we can!

We observe communion and reflect on the sacrifice Christ made for us on the cross.

We dig into what pride and conceit did to King Nebuchadnezzar, but also receive a word of hope as we learn how conceit can be crucified!

Our focus is on Daniel 3 and the countercultural courage some young men displayed in Babylon.

We will unpack the truth of the statement "But there is a God in heaven...".

The first step in making a difference in our culture is to be different from our culture.

We learn valuable lessons about not forgiving from Ahithophel's life that can be prevented in our own lives!

The promise and purpose of prayer in the face of adversity.

How was Paul able to endure so much as he remained faithful to finish God's path for his journey?

Paul's experience teaches us valuable lessons to apply when the "ship" of our lives encounters storms.

Let's see what Paul's priority was and what ours should be in light of the resurrection.

The reality of the resurrection changes everything! Death was defeated and the grave conquered!

Examining Psalm 116 to understand how Jesus, as our Savior, suffered to provide salvation and we'll also learn some valuable lessons about how to walk through our own suffering.

We are challenged to give glory to God's name in Psalm 115.

Is the strong and mighty God who rescued Israel from Egyptian bondage the same God who empowers his people today?

We start a journey with through "Supper Songs," the psalms that the ancient Israelites sung as they gathered to celebrate the Passover.

The greatest exchanges you can ever make: giving God your sin and receiving his salvation!

Are you paying attention to Jesus? Are you making Him a priority? We take a look at Mary and what Jesus said about her taking time to sit at His feet.

We look at what might be the most difficult command to obey: forgiving one another.
