First Baptist Church of Abilene, Kansas

Today's sermon included a video of our old puppet theater from First Baptist Kids, circa 2008. Fun times! And funny. Also some really clever teaching of Bible stories. I used to do these every week with Christian Sommers, and each play was totally improvised. https://youtu.be/oXbVkwHUs8g

After the sermon, there's a blues-rock version of "Jesus Loves Me." And "Pomp and Circumstance" on the piano, by Nancy, in honor of the recent graduates whom we celebrated today!

This message looks at our most frequently quoted verse of Scripture...
