Altoona First Southern Baptist Church

09/12/2026

🤷🏻‍♂️ What do you do when the life you’re living looks nothing like the life you prayed for? When the dream dies, the door closes, the prayer seems unanswered, or the future you pictured disappears? This Sunday, Pastor Don Mast will preach “WHAT IF THIS ISN’T THE LIFE I WANTED? Finding God in the Seasons You Never Wanted.” 📖 Philippians 4 reminds us that contentment isn’t pretending the pain doesn’t hurt. It’s learning that even when life doesn’t go according to our plan, Jesus Christ is still enough, still Lord, and still faithful. Come hear what God’s Word says about trusting Him with the life you have, even when it isn’t the life you would have chosen.

🎶 Worship with us through powerful hymns: Leaning on the Everlasting Arms • Day by Day • Trusting Jesus • Even If • It Is Well with My Soul

STREAMING NOW: ⏳ Twenty-five years since 9/11. One year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University. And the headlines this week haven't slowed down either. So when everything under your feet feels like it's shaking, where do you actually stand? Tonight at Prayer Meeting, Pastor Don Mast opens Psalm 11:1-7 for “WHEN THE FOUNDATIONS SHAKE: What Can the Righteous Do?” We're talking honestly about fear, anger, violence, and the God whose throne has never once been shaken, no matter what's collapsing around us. When the foundations shake, look higher. The throne is still occupied.

LIVE NOW: 🧠 Ever have something your mind just won’t let go of? The same question running on replay. The same hurt you keep revisiting. The same “Why, God?” with no explanation coming. This Sunday, Pastor Don Mast shares “WHEN YOUR MIND WON’T LET IT GO: Trusting God When Life Does Not Make Sense.” 📖 In Psalm 13, David asks God “How long?” four times, but he never walks away. He brings his pain to God, stops letting his wounded heart have the final word, and plants his trust in who God is. You may not get every answer. God may never explain every painful chapter on this side of heaven. But when you cannot trace His hand, look at the cross. He has already shown you His heart. You may not know why. But you can know Who. It’s Communion Sunday.

09/02/2026

LIVE NOW: The disciples watched Jesus heal the sick, calm storms, cast out demons, and preach with an authority unlike anything they had ever heard. Yet one of the most striking requests Scripture records came after they watched Him pray: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Tonight, Pastor Don Mast brings that same searching request to 📖 Luke 11 in “LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY.” Whether you've prayed your whole life, haven't prayed in years, or honestly don't even know what to say to God, Jesus shows us where prayer begins. Prayer isn't religious performance, polished words, or trying to get God to approve our plans. It begins with knowing who God is, surrendering to Him, depending on Him, confessing our sin, and trusting His goodness. Prayer isn't about teaching God what we need. It's God teaching our hearts whom we need. And ultimately, Jesus shows us that the way to truly know the Father begins with Him.
