Grace isn't fair and that's the beauty of it. By grace, God gives us what we don't deserve and withholds what we do.This Sunday, Pastor Austin is kicking off a brand-new sermon series: “Criticizing Jesus.”Together we'll explore the criticisms people had of Jesus and the ones we sometimes find ourselves wrestling with too. 

"You don't learn who God is based upon who you are. You learn who you are based upon who He has always been."  Hebrews 1:4-7

Pastor Austin shares the 5 key attributes that made the early church recognizable by all.  What does the Bible say is the "DNA" makeup of the church?

In the final message of the "Devoted" series, Pastor Patrick Austin explores the early church's commitment to prayer as described in Acts 2:42-47, highlighting how this core value should shape Bay Leaf Baptist Church, especially as they prepare to launch their second campus. Pastor Austin establishes that Jesus Himself was deeply devoted to prayer, which directly influenced the disciples and early church to make prayer central to their community life. Pastor Austin identifies three characteristics of a praying church: they pray worshipfully (delighting in communion with God rather than just making requests), proactively (before crises arise, not just reacting to problems), and expectantly (truly believing God will answer). He provides practical applications for developing a vibrant prayer life, including praying Scripture, creating prayer calendars, and using guided prayer resources. The sermon concludes with a challenge to pray "big prayers" that focus on kingdom advancement rather than just personal comfort, reminding the congregation that such prayers led to thousands being saved, churches being planted, and the gospel advancing mightily in the early church.   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

This week Pastor Austin gives a message on letting out our pain and lamenting. 

August 10, 2025 PM

In this sermon on Acts 2:42-47, Pastor Patrick Austin revisits the four devotions of the early church—the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer—as Bay Leaf Baptist Church prepares to launch its second campus. Pastor Austin focuses specifically on devotion to the apostles' teaching, explaining that we must remain committed to Scripture because it reveals Christ to us, helps us in our journey toward Christ-likeness, and equips us for the mission of gospel saturation. When we remain devoted to the apostles' teaching, four significant things happen: our love for God deepens as we're continually reminded of His love for us; our walk with God matures as we submit to His Word; our boldness for God increases as we follow the example of the apostles; and God brings flourishing and growth to His church. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2, we are to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure."

This week Pastor Austin started a new series entitled: Soul Care. Self-care often considers spiritual health a lifestyle add-on, but the soul isn't an accessory; it's at the core of who you are. 

"Hell is not incompatible with the love of God. Hell is a result of the love of God."  Hebrews 1:3

In this message from Acts 10, Pastor Austin unpacks how God tears down every human barrier to extend the gospel to all people—reminding us that no one is too far, too foreign, or too unclean for the grace of Jesus. Discover how the stories of Cornelius and Peter challenge us to see others as God does and boldly share the good news with those we least expect.

Angela Hirbe, Associate Professor of Medicine at Wash U, and Director of the Adult Neurofibromatosis Clinical Program, and Pastor Austin, a person living with the condition, joins Megan Lynch with a look at some breakthrough therapies.

In a recent Barna study, a mere one fifth of self-identified Christians believe that Satan is living and impactful. However, the Bible is clear that Satan is not only a real, living being, but he is also hard at work in our world seeking to wreak havoc and oppose God and those who follow God. In today's message, Pastor Austin unpacks the “ministry” of Satan so that we don't fall prey to the strategies of the Enemy.

"Is the Great Sustainer sustaining your forgiveness?" Hebrews 1:3

Pastor Austin Medley shared a moving message titled "Wisdom from a Suffering Father," reflecting on Job 42:1–6 and the story of Job's faith through suffering. We were reminded that while we may not always understand God's purpose, we can trust it's for our good. Pastor Austin also touched on how suffering can blur our vision, making it harder to see God's plan, and encouraged us to stay grounded in faith and community. Drawing a contrast with Solomon's misplaced priorities, the message called us to focus not on answers, but on seeking God Himself, even in our pain.

Believing that God wants you act right before you can be right with him keeps curious seekers feeling like they can't measure up.  It causes lifelong Christians to doubt their salvation as the end of their life is approaching.  It fuels hateful rhetoric against people who don't fit a prescribed church mold.God doesn't begin with rules.  He begins with relationship.To hear more from Pastor Austin's Sermon series on Titus check out our YouTube channel or other episodes in our series. YouTube: https://youtube.com/@rosewoodchurch1831?feature=shared

There are a lot of misconceptions on the subject of angels. Many picture them as little chubby cherubs playing their harps in the clouds, but that could not be further from the truth. The Bible has a lot to say about this supporting cast of characters and their role in human affairs. In today's study, Pastor Austin addresses questions such as, “What are angels?” “What do angels look like?” “What do they do?” “Do they have bodies?” “Are there different kinds and ranks of angels?” and many more. 

We can commonly fall into discouragement when in seasons of suffering, but the apostle Paul pens this letter to the Philippians to reshape the Believer's perspective. Join us as Pastor Austin unpacks five timely principles from Philippians 1, helping us find a new perspective in the middle of pain.
