First Baptist Castroville

First Baptist Castroville First Castroville is a community of people who are committed to following faithfully after God. Life gets pretty complicated.

Each week we join together as the body of Christ to worship God and to experience a message that is relevant to our lives which comes from the truths of the Bible. We know you want to get it right- that's why we have saved a place for you here. We believe being part of a community of believers will help you develop a practical faith that not only makes life better but makes you better at life. Our

worship service times are 9:00 am and 10:30 am, but we encourage you to come early to get connected to our community. In addition to our regular Worship Service, we have a Children’s Church specially fashioned for children, kinder-5th grade. Children’s Church is a meaningful worship service packed with bible stories, crafts, and fun ways to explore God’s Word. Childcare is provided for children up to pre-kindergarten during the Worship service.

If your current pace and priorities continued unchanged for the next five years, what kind of person would you become, and is that who you want to be?

There is a prayer tucked inside Psalm 90 that is easy to read past. Moses asks God to teach us to number our days so that we might gain a heart of wisdom. It sounds simple, but it is actually one of the most countercultural requests a person can make. We live in a world that encourages us to avoid thinking about limits. We act as though time is unlimited, as though there will always be a better season to slow down, to prioritize what matters, to invest in the people we love. But later has a way of becoming never. Numbering your days is not about becoming morbid or anxious. It is about becoming awake. It is about letting the reality of a finite life sharpen your focus on what is actually worth your energy. When you understand that your days are a gift, you begin to steward them differently. You have been given today. Not a guarantee of tomorrow, but today. That is enough to make one meaningful choice, to take one step toward what matters most. Wisdom is not reserved for people with more time. It is available to anyone willing to pay attention.

'Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.' - Psalm 90:12

Waiting can become the very place where our worship deepens. When we worship God in the midst of waiting, we align our desires with His. This reframed worship gradually transforms us, helping us to delight in God's will rather than our own. The goal of spiritual maturity is not simply getting answers but becoming the kind of person who delights in the will of God. As we wait, let us worship and trust in God's faithfulness, knowing that He is always at work, even when we cannot see it.

Bible Verse
'I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.' - Psalm 40:8

Reflection Question
How can you use your time of waiting to deepen your worship and align your desires with God's?

Prayer
Lord, help me to worship You in the waiting. Align my desires with Yours and teach me to delight in Your will. Strengthen my trust in Your faithfulness. Amen.

Earlier this month, our women's ministry hosted a "ladies friendship tea". During this time, table hosts thoughtfully served others demonstrating servant leadership. As the morning progressed, laughter and fellowship filled the room. The morning then transitioned to a time of musical worship followed by a time of teaching from Melanie. The morning ended with a sweet and thoughtful time of reflection on obedience. Ladies left with hearts filled and spirits renewed.

“I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined to me and heard my cry.” Waiting is one of the hardest disciplines of faith — but never wasted. God uses delay to develop depth. When we stop demanding outcomes and start trusting God’s timing, our faith matures.

'One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.' - Psalm 27:4

In our age of endless distractions and divided attention, David's focus seems almost impossible: 'One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.' One thing. Not ten priorities, not a balanced life hack, not a perfectly organized schedule. One thing: nearness to God. This singular focus wasn't escapism - David was dealing with real enemies, betrayal, and life-threatening situations. But he understood something we often miss: the presence of God steadies everything that fear destabilizes. When we're close to God, our circumstances don't disappear, but they lose their power to define us. Many of us want relief from anxiety without cultivating closeness with God. We want peace without presence. But David knew better. He knew that nearness to God changes the soul in ways that circumstances never could.

What would change in your life if seeking God's presence became your 'one thing'?
