Your Life Group's Podcast

Where are YOU on the "spiritual spectrum"? Everyone, everywhere, is somewhere on this spectrum, and hopefully moving to the next level day by day, week by week.

Many don't like the fact that Jesus says He is the "only way" to the Father. Are there more ways to God than just Jesus? Does it really matter what you believe, as long as you're sincere? We'll address these and other questions in this final installment in our Summer series.

Is everyone's eternal destiny set by God and in essence, out of our control; or does man have some choice in whether or not to accept God's offer of salvation? We'll see what God's Word has to say about it.

So what works in life...us calling all the shots and running it ourselves; or letting God have His way in our affairs and relationships? We'll look at this question in this lesson session..

This lesson deals with forgiveness, a difficult topic (and achievement!) for many of us. You've probably heard it said, "I could never forgive them"...but thank the Lord, that is not a thought from Scripture.

In this week's lesson, we tackle another piece of "advice" that Christians hear a lot...keep your religious views out of politics and culture. Did God really say that?

A special guest speaker leads our study today, Dr. Tim Williams. Tim is a recently retired pastor who grew up here at FBC and a friend of over 50 years. He continues our Summer series with a look at the cliche, "Just follow your heart".

We continue our Summer series with this3rdlesson where we look at things often attributed to God or the Bible, that really aren't in there. You've probably heard people say that someone who died is now an angel. Did God REALLY say that?

We continue our Summer series with this 2nd lesson where we look at things often attributed to God or the Bible, that really aren't in there. This lesson's focus is on when people tell you, "Remember, God will never give you more than you can handle." Did God REALLY say that?

We begin our new Summer series with the first of several cliches that we often hear attributed to God or His Word and look at whether God "really" said that (or not).

We'll review several ways you can "grow" spiritually by putting down deep roots; especially as you head into the upcoming summer months.

We welcome guest speakers Robert & Kathy Whitlow to our Life Group for a very special time of encouragement and testimony as they share the story of one of their "prodigals" in their life as parents.

This is the concluding session from this series on sharing your faith and why we need to be having "Gospel conversations" with those around us.

This second installment in our series on sharing your faith covers a great story from the Gospels about four friends who brought their friend to Jesus.

We wrap up our study of the days of Passion Week with the culmination on Easter Sunday (and beyond). We'll take a look at several of the appearances Jesus made on that day and the days following; as each reveals something to us about the heart of God.

You may have never thought about it, or heard a lesson on it, but what Jesus was about on the Saturday was of eternal significance. What happened in that time between "It is finishied" and "He is risen!"? We'll examine it in today's lesson.

The Friday of Passion Week is known now as "Good Friday", but that day had it's roots all the way back to the time of Moses. We take a look at some of the meaning and symbolism wrapped up in "Good Friday" in this lesson.

Maundy Thursday as it is known, was an eventful day in Passion Week. We'll focus in on the intimate dinner conversation Jesus had with His disciples on the night He was betrayed and arrested.

The Tuesday of Passion Week was filled with important teachings and parables from Jesus...perhaps the most prolific recorded day of his ministry years. We'll dive into what He said and what it means to us today in this session.

We continue our Easter season series in which we're studying each day of Passion Week. This session looks at the events of the Monday following Palm Sunday.

We begin our Easter season series where we'll study each day of Passion Week and the events of that day. Today's lesson begins with the Sunday prior to Easter Sunday, known as Palm Sunday.

We wrap up our study of Psalm 23 with the final verse, and also cover what it means to "pray Scripture" by praying through this beloved Psalm.

Why would the Good Shepherd set a table for us "in the presence of my enemies"? We'll take a look at what this means in this week's lesson.

This study looks at Psalm 23:4 and what it means to "walk through the valley of the shadow of death".

Join us as we examine Psalm 23:3 and what it means for our Good Shepherd to restore our souls, and lead us in pathes of righteousness. Check it out! NEW LOGO!! Go Chuck Go!!

In today's session we dive into Psalm 23:2 and what it means to lie down in green pastures and be led beside still waters.

Join us as we launch a new series for the New Year based on the beloved passage, Psalm 23. David, who was a shepherd as a young man, penned this incredible section of the Psalms that has inspired and blessed so many across the generations.

In this special Christmas Eve Life Group, our Minister of Small Groups & Discipleship Jordan Cramer, is joined by this wife Lori; and they share their personal testimonies as well as some key verses that have shaped (and continue to shape) their lives and spiritual growth.

The final installment in our Christmas series wraps up with a focus on "Love". Christmas is the ultimate expression of love from God to mankind, and guest leader Seth Buckley examines this in our concluding session.

Our third installment in the Christmas series covers the topic of "Joy" in the Christmas story. The Wise Men rejoiced with exceedingly great joy...and the birth, life and resurrection of Christ invites us to do the same today.

We continue our Christmas series with a focus in this session on "Peace". Jesus came as the Prince of Peace, and to make peace between those of us who were "far off" due to our sin.

We begin a four-part Advent series with this first lesson based around the theme of "hope". In our world today, many suffer from a lack of hope; but 2,000 years ago, God spoke His ultimate statement of hope into the world with the arrival of our Savior.

This special lesson time features guest speaker, Messianic Jewish Rabbi Andy Myerson. Rabbi Andy shares what it will take for peace to ever come to the Middle East, and what Christians can do every day to help bring it to fruition.

This final lesson in this series looks at the "rest of the story"; the attitude and perspectives of the "older brother", and what it means if we adopt his attitudes in our faith walk.

In this third lesson in this series, we look at this important parable of the Prodigal from the perspecitive of the father figure...and what he reveals to us about the heart of our Heavenly Father for those who wander.

In this lesson, we take a deeper look at this famous parable from the perspective of the “prodigal”, the wayward younger son who left home and moved far away from the Father.  God's Word speaks to us all in this story and the young man's struggles.

We launch a new series based on one of the most famous parables that Jesus told, the Parable of the Prodigal Son.  We are ALL represented by one (or more) figures in this incredible story, even God our Heavenly Father.  Join us as we begin a deep dive into Luke 15 with this first lesson

In this final session in our “one another” series, we take a look at what may be the hardest of all the “one another” admonitions of Scripture…forgiving one another.  What forgiveness is, and what it's not, and our model for how to extend it.

We continue our “one another” series with two more admonishments to “love one another” and “restore one another”.  We'll take a look at what the Bible has to say about both of these imperatives for believers, and how we can put them into action.

There are two distinct, but interrelated “one another” commands in Scripture that have to do with our responsibilities to each other in the family of God.  Do you have people in your life that will provide loving accountability to you and your actions and walk with the Lord?  Are you such a person for others?  We'll examine the instructions to “spur one another to love and good deeds” and also to “admonish one another” in this session.

Everyone craves acceptance, and if we don't find it in right, godly relationships and places; we'll find it somewhere else.  Jesus was a master at accepting people…for change.  Today we look at why we are called to replicate His ministry in our day as we follow Paul's instruction from Romans 15:7 to “Accept one another…”.

Landon Powell, Head Baseball Coach of the North Greenville University Crusaders, shares his personal testimony of how God brought him through much adversity in both his pro career (with the Oakland Atheletics) and his personal life (with his family).  You will be blessed and challenged as you listen.

One of the key commands of the New Testament to believers is that we “encourage one another”.  In this session, the 2nd in our series on the “one another” commands of Scripture, we look at what it means to be an encourager, and what it means to be encouraged.

We begin a new series together in which we'll be looking at various “one another” statements from the New Testament.  We start today with Paul's admonishment to “Bear one another's burdens and thus fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal. 6:2).

Our last week in the You Asked For It series

One of our most requested topics for this summer, and we look at this question and the ramifications for believers (whether these are the last days or not).

One of our most requested topics for this summer, and we look at this question and the ramifications for believers (whether these are the last days or not).

Ever find yourself asking, “what's going on in our country”?  And perhaps the bigger question, as a Christian, how should I get involved and/or respond.  Special guest Chad Connelly (President of Faith Wins organization) addresses these and other questions in this special Life Group session.

Again, several members of our Life Group submitted requests for a lesson on hearing the voice of God.  We'll cover does He still speak today, and if so, how does He speak; and most importantly, how we can tune in and hear what He has to say to us.

Feeling like everyone has lost their moral and logical compass, other than you?  Wondering if things can get any worse in our culture?  We'll take a look at where the “moral madness” of our day stems from, the effects of it, and how a Christian should respond to it in this session.

Every one of us has (at one time or another) been a “prodigal”…and many of us have prodigals in our immediate circle of those we know and love today.  We'll take a look at what Jesus had to say about prodigals, and how to love them, pray for them, and hopefully welcome them home.
