Steps 8 and 9 of the Twelve Steps call us to restore relationships through forgiveness and making amends. The story of Zacchaeus shows that true spiritual growth comes when we take responsibility for our actions, seek reconciliation, and release resentment so peace and joy can take root.

In this sermon, Mark, a young adult leader at First Baptist Church of Augusta, concludes the eight-week series "Practicing the Way," which focuses on being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing as He did. ​ He emphasizes the importance of living out these principles within a church community, drawing inspiration from the early church as described in Acts 2:42-47. ​ Mark highlights the church as a people united by Christ's resurrection, devoted to learning, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, and serving others. ​ He acknowledges the challenges and messiness of community but underscores its transformative power in fostering spiritual growth, mutual care, and outreach to the broader world. ​ Mark encourages the congregation to embrace intentional relationships, live sacrificially, and be a visible representation of Christ's kingdom, creating a community that inspires awe and brings others to know Jesus. ​

Sunday 26th October 2025 - West and North SitesSpeaker - Gary SmithGary continues with our Life Together series, looking at the way we are all called to be unique parts of the Lord's body.____________1 Corinthians 12 v 12-2712)  Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13)  For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14)  And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.15)  Now if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16)  And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17)  If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18)  But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19)  If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20)  As it is, there are many parts, but one body.21)  The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don't need you!' And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don't need you!' 22)  On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23)  and the parts that we think are less honourable we treat with special honour. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24)  while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, 25)  so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26)  If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.27)  Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.____________Recorded at North Site - 26Oct2025

This message explores Step Seven of the Twelve Steps—humbly asking God to remove our shortcomings—as a path toward genuine humility and transformation. We're reminded that growth takes time and that God works best through hearts that are open and willing. When we stop pretending, presuming, and pushing, we make room for God to use our struggles to shape our character and draw us closer to the person we're created to be.

How can you tell the difference between engaging God as a religion, and enjoying Godthrough a relationship. To sum it up in one word - the difference is GRACE. The Book ofGalatians helps Christians eradicate a religious approach to God from our lives, so thatwe can pursue a joyous relationship with Him. Let's learn to Let Grace Work.

1 Peter 5:1-14 What if we had to face the world alone? Shepherd the Flock of God Why do we need faithful leaders? Humble Yourselves under the Hand of God Why do we need one another? Stand Firm in the Grace of God Why do we need Christ?

Text, email, messenger, facetime, skype… you could go on and on with the various means we have to communicate with others in our world. And of course, there's still the option of meeting face-to-face. As Pastor Bill will remind us in today's message, we have an amazing privilege and responsibility before us in this life. We've been given new life in Christ, and we're surrounded by people who are drowning in their sin and sorrow. We need to get out there and share the hope we've found.

Today Gary Smith looks at the importance of living together in unity.

This week on the Grafted podcast, Gabe explores the Life Together Journey and why community isn't just a nice add-on—it's where God does some of His best work in our lives. From the early church in Acts 2 to practical ways we experience connection today, we'll talk about overcoming barriers, carrying one another's burdens, and stepping into real relationships that transform us. Tune in to discover how you can live fully rooted in Christ and intertwined with others.

You're called to prophesy to the world around you. That doesn't mean you need a pulpit and a congregation. This means you need to share the Good News of the Gospel with the people in your community through your words and deeds. As Pastor Bill will point out in today's message, some in the Church make themselves busy in every other way possible, and the work they do is wonderful, but those activities and programs are only part of the picture. The focus needs to be on sharing Jesus.

Real transformation begins when we stop trying to manage our own lives and become entirely ready for God to remove what holds us back. The journey of faith isn't about perfection but willingness—offering our character defects, fears, and defenses to God and trusting Him to bring change in His time. True freedom comes when we replace old habits with new ones rooted in love, humility, and joy.

What does it mean to truly live life together as followers of Jesus?

A guest speaker finishes our Life Together series by talking about a believer's duty to evangelism or go and make disciples. Our modern-day reluctance to obey in this area is similar to the delayed obedience that the returning exiles showed in God's command for them to rebuild the temple. This message examines the heart and motives behind delayed obedience, and how we can, by God's grace, make a plan to delay no longer.Scripture: Haggai 1:1–11

Confession is the sacred act of telling the truth about ourselves — to God, to ourselves, and to another person — so that we can be set free. Step Five invites us to move from hiding to healing, discovering that our stories, no matter how broken, are still sacred and redeemable.

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God.

Life brings pain, but God can transform it into redemptive growth when we face it honestly. By naming our grudges and fears, we open ourselves to God's healing power, discovering that nothing can separate us from His love.

We heard a testimony about what it means to turn one's life over to God's care, alongside a reflection on Step 3: deciding to entrust our will and lives to Christ. The message reminds us that surrender is not weakness but a bold act of faith—choosing to believe God is able to carry what we cannot. It encourages us to release our fears, lean on God's strength, and take the next step of trust in our own journeys.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 21, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 7:21-25, Romans 8:5-8, John 16:8, Romans 8:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:19, Ephesians 4:30, 2 Corinthians 10:5, James 5:16, Galatians 6:7-9 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together, pg. 112 Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him…. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person. Reflection Questions: Romans 7:21-25 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!... 1. In Romans 7, Paul describes his internal battle with sin. How would you describe your own battle to overcome sin in your life? 2. Paul uses the term “flesh” to describe what we are battling against. How would you define “flesh” as Paul uses it in the Bible? 3. The battle is between our flesh and the Spirit. Paul says the battleground is the MIND. Why is the mind so important? How does sin often start in our mind(thoughts)? Explain. Romans 8:13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 4. How can we put to death sin in our life by the power of the Holy Spirit? John 16:8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong (conviction) about sin and righteousness and judgment… Romans 8:1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 5. What is the difference between Conviction and Condemnation? Why is conviction a good thing and condemnation a bad thing? How can we experience conviction while at the same time not experience condemnation? 6. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “flesh”? Describe. Give examples. 7. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “Spirit”? What are things that the Spirit draws our attention to? 8. What is your mind set on? How can we know what our mind is set on?

The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life!Pastor Joel begins Part 3 of his message series in Romans, “Bold Faith That Lives.” This message of “Gospel Life Together” enters us into the book of Romans, chapter 12, verse 1, which starts a pivotal turning point. We find an answer to the question, “What difference does all this make?” We'll also look at how does this affect our relationship with each other in the body of Christ and our relationshp with wider society? What difference does this make when I go to work tomorrow morning or civil society and government? What is the overall mission for God and us, and how do we maintain unity with each other? So much to cover, let's listen in…This is a special four part series that will span the year of 2025.

What must die before love can thrive? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Romans 7:1–6 to show that real love begins when we die to the law's demands.
