Depois de mais de quatro anos do lançamento de “Logo Ali”, Bemti está de volta com “Adeus Atlântico”, trabalho com 10 faixas e levada indie pop, que amplia a assinatura estética de Bemti, reconhecido pelo uso da Viola Caipira de 10 Cordas - agora cada vez mais o pop e o indie pop se mesclam nas canções, criando universos sonoros novos, num passeio que vai de beats urbanos a sopros e cordas que remetem ao Brasil interiorano. Escrito e produzido entre Brasil, Portugal e Inglaterra, o disco reúne colaborações com artistas desses e de outros países, como FBC, Marissol Mwaba e Fyfe Dangerfield (vocalista da banda Guillemots). Para mergulhar nos detalhes de “Adeus Atlântico”, Renan Guerra (@_renanguerra) conversa com o músico, cantor e compositor Bemti (@bemti).Gostou do podcast?

Matthew 15:1-9 In this exploration of Matthew 15, we're challenged to examine the difference between God's truth and our own cultural assumptions. The confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders wasn't really about handwashing or outdated traditions—it was about something far more profound.

This Sunday, Tony Amaradio visited FBC to share his testimony and the biblical principles that drive how he thinks and lives today.  It’s not a normal exposition, but an encouraging look at how God saves and transforms us from idolaters to stewards.

Matthew 14:22-33 This exploration of Matthew 14:22-33 challenges us to reconsider what we think we know about Peter walking on water. We often focus on the sinking, but what if the real story is about finding rest in the middle of our obedience?

Throughout my formal ‘preacher' education, I was privileged to take all sorts of classes; biblical studies, histories of various churches and groups, and, especially interesting, were the classes that dealt with the ethical situations one might encounter in the ministry.  These helped this young minister greatly, of course, but my classes did not prepare me for everything.             About 15 years into my ministry, I was called into the hospital Emergency Room; one of my members, a man named Wilbur,  had had a massive stroke, and it was obvious he was not long for this world.  His wife was there, and we talked for some time.  Finally, it was about time for me to leave, and I asked his wife, Imo, if we could pray together.  She said, “Of course,” and I asked her, “Imo, how would you like for me to pray?”  We both knew the grim reality of Wilbur's situation.  She pondered for a few seconds, and finally she grabbed my hand, and said, “Could you pray that God would take him soon?  He's gone, so there's no point in asking for anything else.”  I was relieved, of course, but a little taken aback, because no one had ever asked that of me before.  We prayed as she requested; I gave her a brief hug and went home for the evening.  I got a call from her just a couple of hours later, and she informed me that her husband of over 70 years had gone to be with Jesus.             I've thought of that conversation often over the years.  I am often asked to pray that God will heal or protect one in a crisis; I have also heard people insist on prayers for a miracle, because “it's never too late.” I understand the hope people may have when they face the loss of a loved one. Still, I appreciated Imo's realistic view of the situation.  She had not lost hope, but she did realize that Wilbur's life was over.  We prayed that evening in hope: not the hope of physical healing, but the hope grounded in the resurrection of Jesus.  In Christ, Wilbur's death was a release from the burden of a broken body.  In Christ, his death was an acceptance of God's care for her husband.  And, in Christ, we moved on in the hope that we would be united with him sometime far in the future, as the old song says, “In the sweet by and by.”  God spoke to me that night and reminded me to accept in my heart what I knew in my head: God was always working and could bring a work of comfort and grace, even in the most difficult of times.              God often speaks to us, through his written Word, and through the words of preachers and teachers.  And, just as powerfully, he can speak through the experiences of our lives, as we trust in him, and hear the truth of God's love and grace.       Throughout the scriptures, we hear these kinds of things if we listen; we must only hear His Word.  So, Paul teaches the young pastor Timothy, “I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom 2 preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine. Still, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires.  II Timothy 4:1-3   God speaks; we must always listen.   Be still, and pay attention!   The best way you can support our ministry is by sharing this podcast with your friends and family!

Series: EphesiansScripture: Ephesians 4:1-3February 22, 2026 - Worship Service

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 We live in a world where good and evil grow side by side, and this reality can leave us feeling exhausted and confused. The parable of the wheat and weeds from Matthew 13 speaks directly into this tension, offering us profound wisdom about why God allows darkness to persist alongside light.

Several years ago, I had purchased an old pickup with engine problems; the plan was to do a quick repair and sell it, and make some profit.  I read a few articles about the process, and a couple mentioned a ‘trick' that would save me quite a bit of time when replacing an internal engine part.  Thinking I understood what the article meant and confident I could figure it out if I needed to, I jumped in and started disassembling the motor. When I got to the part where I planned to use the ‘trick' mentioned in the article, though, I was stumped.  It could not work!  The parts were worn,  everything was dirty and oily, and my old fingers simply couldn't make things work.  I re-read the articles, and even pulled out the factory manual for help – nothing helped!  Finally, I turned to YouTube, an online video site, and punched in a title that I thought would help.  It took a few minutes to find the right video, and I finally found one that discussed the ‘trick' I was looking to use.  The mechanic's voice-over made it seem really simple. After he got the light and the camera, he performed the trick – it was an amazing feat!  Just like the article said, when you got your fingers in the right place and applied just the right pressure, you could disassemble part of the engine almost instantly, without any tools.              I couldn't learn what I needed from just hearing about it – I needed to see it with my own eyes, and once I did, it worked well.  Amazing!             The Apostle Palu knew nothing about working on an old truck motor. Still, he did understand the importance of a ‘picture' or example of doing something, so that others might learn.   In his letter to the Philippians, Paul taught the early Christians how to live like Jesus.  He put things into his own words, and then, to make sure they ‘got it,' he pointed to the example of Jesus:  not what He said, but what He did.  Here is the way Paul taught the early church how to live:  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being  in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form Of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  And being  found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became  obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:5-8   Do you see what Paul did?  He did not repeat the words of Jesus in this section; he merely reminded readers of how Jesus lived and how he put his faith in God into action.  That was Paul's teaching method!   Jesus' actions taught us: 1) Understand your ‘place' in the Church.  A believer is “in Christ,” with all the potential for Spiritual gifts and usefulness to God.  2)  We must understand our ‘place' in the church as a humble servant of God.  The point of our faithfulness is to proclaim the Gospel, minister to others in the name of Christ, and glorify Him.  Finally, 3) True faith leads one to obedience to the leadership of the Spirit and submission to God's Word.  We are to seek and find God's will for us in any given situation, and prayerfully submit.  That is God's eternal plan!   Let me challenge you to learn from the actions of Jesus and learn to do more than just talk about your faith.  Put it to work!   The best way you can support our ministry is by sharing this video with your friends and family!

Series: EphesiansScripture: Ephesians 3:12-21February 15, 2026 - Worship Service

Matthew 12:1-14

I recently came across a story, told by a college professor, about an experience she had in which she believed God had clearly directed her in a specific situation.   The Professor (Joan) told the story of a young woman (Sherry) in one of her classes who was dressed poorly and looked a little ‘shabby'; she also kept to herself and dropped her eyes when she spoke to the teacher and others in the class.  One day, as the young lady was walking out, she said “goodbye” to her, and as the woman walked out, she heard a voice in her head clearly say, “Give her the money in your wallet.”  The professor felt a little odd about the situation and so resisted.  She did look in her wallet and found a $20 bill; not much to lose, she thought.  By the time she walked into the hallway to find her, Sherry had gone out the door and was nowhere to be found.  Joan didn't think any more about it, thinking she had imagined the whole thing.  She was an active Christian and willing to help, but she had never had an experience in which she thought God might be speaking to her!   A few weeks later into the semester, and nothing had changed.  Joan had spoken to Sherry but had never mentioned the experience to her or offered her any money.  And then, one night, it happened again: as the young woman walked out, Joan heard that voice in her head again, “give her the money in her wallet.”   She quickly dug out her wallet and found $40, twice the amount as before.  She leapt to her feet and ran out into the hallway, and chased down the young woman.  She caught up to her and blurted out, “I've never done this sort of thing before, but I'm Christian, and I feel like God has told me to give you the money in my wallet.”  The young woman, surprised by her teacher's approach, took the money and then explained that, just before class, even though she didn't believe in God, she and a friend had prayed for a box of diapers.  She explained that she was a single mother, had run out of money, and could not even buy her infant a box of diapers.  She was desperate and had asked her friends and parents for help, but no one could help her!  The two women spoke for a few minutes about the situation;   Sherry was not a Christian and had never been to church, so she didn't know what to say about God speaking to her teacher, but she was thankful for the help.  They spoke for a few minutes, then went their separate ways.  Over the next few months, they talked often, first about the young child, and then Sherry's prospects for life.  They spoke often over the next few years; eventually, Sherry received Christ as her savior and remembered the help her friend had given her at the prompting of God's Spirit.   There are so many truths from this true story!  Let me speak of just one:  God speaks to his people! Sometimes it is through the words of a teacher or preacher; or, as in our story, God speaks in the heart of a believer to act and, through the actions of others, to help in some way.  More often, God speaks through the Bible, which Christians believe to be the living, powerful Word of God.  Regardless, God speaks!  Here is one passage that speaks to this truth: “From childhood you have known the sacred writings which can give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.  All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”  II Timothy 3:15-17   Let me encourage you to read the Bible and learn to trust God's Word.  The scriptures can lead you to salvation in Jesus. As the teachings are applied to your life, they can transform and improve every area of your life, literally.  In the Bible, God speaks!   The best way you can support our ministry is by sharing this video with your friends and family!
