First Baptist Church Longview

Have you ever read Scripture that sounds beautiful on paper but feels impossible to live out in real life? Walking through Romans 12:9–13, Pastor Collin Bullard highlights how the call to sincere love—marked by humility, zeal, patience, and generosity—reveals a standard far beyond what we can achieve on our own. The heart of the message is that genuine, Christlike love is not something we manufacture, but something God produces in us as we stay connected to Him. This leads us to stop striving in our own strength and instead come honestly before God, asking for help and trusting Him to transform our hearts from the inside out.

What if how you see yourself is shaping everything else in your life? In Romans 12:3–8, Pastor Collin shows how the gospel reshapes identity, removing pride and comparison. Each gift is given by grace for the good of others. Embrace humility and faithfully use what God has given you.
