Jesus calls us to release our worries and trust in God's faithful care. Anxiety divides the heart, but peace comes when we seek first His kingdom. True rest is not found in controlling tomorrow, but in trusting the God whose mercies are new every morning. Message based on Matthew 6:25-34Quotes:Arthur C.

Jesus, our King, still speaks through Scripture, in prayer, and through the lives of believers.

God is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. He meets us in our suffering and walks with us through every storm.

So that somehow my wife and I came through that terrible time still on our own two feet.John Henry: God does not comfort us to make us comfortable. He comforts us to make us comforters.Duane Brooks: We can weep with those who weep. We don't have to explain it. We don't have to have all the answers.

United with Christ. This is where true identity begins. In a world that defines worth by appearance, achievement, and approval, how do we discover who we really are? Our value comes from being with Christ. We are not what we do or what others say; we are richly blessed, deeply loved, and fully forgiven. This is the identity that lasts. God has spoken. His word is clear. Why search for worth anywhere else?  Message based on Ephesians 1:1-8Quotes:A.W. Tozer: What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.John Neesley: United with Christ, I am a richly blessed child of God.Benjamin Warfield: When you use the name Redeemer, it's the name specifically of the Christ of the cross. Whenever we pronounce it, the cross is postered or placarded before our eyes. And our eyes are filled with loving remembrance that not only that Christ has given us salvation, but he paid a mighty price for it.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

Can we truly be blessed in a world that prizes power, wealth, and self-promotion? In a culture driven by noise and achievement, Jesus offers a different path. One marked by humility, mercy, and dependence on God. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus redefines what it means to live a blessed life. Message based on Matthew 5:1-12Quotes:King George VI: Take the hand of God and walk out into the unknown. It will be better to you than a light.A.T. Robertson: These beatitudes assume a new heart. Because for me to be the kind of person he's describing, I'd have to have a different kind of heart than I was born with.Duane Brooks: Jesus started something. We're in the now kingdom. He said, the kingdom of God is among you. Don't look and say, is it over there or over there? No, it's in you.Dallas Willard: The Beatitudes served to clarify Jesus' fundamental message: the free availability of God's rule and righteousness to all of humanity through reliance upon Jesus Himself. They do this simply by taking those who, from the human point of view, are regarded as most hopeless, most beyond all possibility of God's blessing or even interest, and exhibiting them as enjoying God's touch and abundant provision from the heavens.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

Prayer is not about performance, but relationship. Jesus didn't just tell us how to pray. He told us to whom we're praying: our Father. Not a distant figure, but Abba—close, personal, and full of love. Message based on Matthew 6:5-13; 7:7-11.Quotes:Duane Brooks: Jesus wants His Father to be our Father. J.I. Packer: You sum up the whole of the New Testament religion if you describe it as the knowledge of God as one's Holy Father. If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much they make of the thought of being God's child and having God as a father.Bill Gladden: I've got a room.

We are reminded that the Holy Spirit still moves today—not just to comfort us, but to confront us. To call us out of self-righteousness and into God's righteousness. To turn our hearts toward repentance, obedience, and purpose. What is the Holy Spirit doing? Maybe the better question is: What can we obey? Message based on John 16:7-15; Acts 2:37-42.Quotes:Duane Brooks: There are so many funny jokes about hell. And you know who's not laughing about it? The people who are in hell. They're not laughing about it.Josh Howerton: Hell is the only place where it is fair. In hell everyone gets what they deserve.William Temple: Nobody can be indwelt by the Spirit of God and keep that Spirit to himself. For where the Spirit is, he flows forth. And where there is no flowing forth, he's not there.R.A. Torrey: If we think the Holy Spirit only has an impersonal power or influence, then our thought will constantly be, how can I get hold of that and think about Simon in Acts? How can I get hold of that and use the Holy Spirit? But if we think of him in the biblical way as a divine person, infinitely wise, infinitely holy, infinitely tender, then our thought will constantly be, how can the Holy Spirit get hold of and use me?To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

Will we finish the task? 2033 will mark the second millennia of Christians in the world. Where are we going? How do we as Christ-followers find and fulfill his plan for our lives in real time? God has not concealed his plan from us. The risen Lord commissions his people to make disciples of all nations. These have been our marching orders for nearly two thousand years. Jesus has sent us his power, shown us his purpose and sustained us with his promise for all this time. Why would he fail now? Message based on Matthew 28:16-20.Quotes:                                                                                                                         William Temple: Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His Holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose and all of this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin.Duane Brooks: I don't care if anybody knows the name of Tallowood. I don't care, but I want them to know the name of Jesus.Andy Crouch: Why is power a gift? Because power is for flourishing. When power is used well, people and the whole cosmos come more alive to what they were meant to be. And flourishing is the test of power.Mike Breen: Many of us serve in or lead churches where we have hundreds or even thousands of people showing up on Sunday. But we have to honestly answer this question: do their lives look like the lives of the people we see in Scripture? If you set out to build the church, there is no guarantee you will make disciples. It is far more likely that you will create consumers who depend on the spiritual services that religious professionals provide. Bill Hull: Our work is not to build a great church or a large church, church building is God's work.  Our work is to make disciples who make disciples , the rest of it is window dressing.  Eugene Peterson: The most important question isn't “What does this mean,” but “What can I obey?” Simple obedience will open up our lives to a text more quickly than any number of Bible studies, dictionaries, and concordances.D.A. Carson: This is not a general ‘I will be with you,' but rather an emphatic, comprehensive, and personal assurance that Christ's presence accompanies the disciple daily, continuously, and completely.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

Some years ago, we sat around a fire with good friends in Montana. Justin Whitmel Earley says good things happen around a campfire. John mentions a charcoal fire twice in his gospel. Peter was present at both. At the first fire, he denied his faith. At the second fire, he found it again. Our failures are not fatal. Today is a new day. Gather around the fire with us in worship. The same Lord who called us before is calling today. Will we follow him? Message based on John 21:15-19.Quotes: C. S. Lewis: On the whole, God's love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him. But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference; and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.Peter Marshall: When a person comes to Christ, it is never again ‘business as usual.' Abraham Lincoln: You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time . . . but you cannot fool all the people all the time. Duane Brooks: And we can never fool God.J. I. Willard: That room lit up with the glory of God. I saw a figure. I did not see a face, but I recognized it to be the person of Christ. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I heard a voice that said, ‘Feed my sheep.Soren Kierkegaard: Jesus never asks for admirers, worshipers, or adherents. No, he calls disciples. It is not adherents of a teaching but followers of a life Christ is looking for.William Temple:  Forgiveness does not consist of remission of penalty. To forgive is to restore to the old relationship. So the forgiveness that Christ wins for us is not chiefly a remission of penalty; it is the restoration to the affectionate intimacy of sons with their Father.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

Are you struggling with doubt? How do we choose between faith and reason? Actually, we don't have to. As he tells Thomas's conversion story, John contrasts faith with sight. After the ascension, every believer has placed confidence in the testimony of the eyewitnesses. What conditions are we placing on our faith today? Believe and you will see. Message based on John 20:24-31.Quotes: Fyodor Dostoevsky: I believe in Christ and confess him not like some child; my hosanna has passed through an enormous furnace of doubt.Aldous Huxley: I had reasons that I did not want Christianity to be true, because if it were true, I would have to change the way I lived. Madeleine L'Engle: We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.Duane Brooks: Jesus will stop at nothing to get to the one who is still not believing.N. T. Wright: The Quest for the Historical Jesus. "T" Teacher, if the European scholars have lost Jesus, that is their problem. We have not lost him. We know him. We love him. T. S. Eliot: Seeing is believing . . . There is another way.Craig Groeschel: Either we believe God or we are just playing church. Thomas the wonderer becomes Thomas the worshiper becomes Thomas the witness. Henry Drummond: It ought to be placed in the forefront of all Christian teaching that Christ's mission on earth was to give men Life. "I am come," that ye might have Life, and that ye might have it more abundantly.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist
