The church office is temporarily closed today.

Unfortunately, our fire alarm system is continuously alerting a malfunction, and for obvious safety and insurance reasons, we are unable to disable it. While we wait for a technician to resolve the issue, we are not able to work in the office with the alarm sounding constantly.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Funeral arrangements for Bill Grissom have not yet been finalized. We will share those details as soon as they become available.

What a powerful reminder this morning that followers of Jesus are called to stand out in a dark world.

Pastor Seth challenged us from Matthew 5 to not let the things of this world cover the light Christ has placed in us. A changed heart should lead to a visible faith. We are called to shine, to point people to Jesus and to live in a way that brings glory to God.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1

Let your light shine this week, FBCJ Family. ✨

What a great night of fellowship together as a church family. Good food, great conversations and time spent together always reminds us how grateful we are for the people God has brought to First Baptist Jacksonville.

A huge thank you to every volunteer who helped set up, cook, serve and clean up tonight!!

There’s just something good about burgers & hot dogs, laughter and church family all in one place. 🍔🌭😂💛

You are the light of the world. Matthew 5:14

Light stands out in darkness. Light guides. Light points people to Jesus.

Today we were reminded that as followers of Christ, we are called to stay close to Him so our lives reflect His light to the world around us. We are called to be salt and light, preserving truth and shining the hope of the Gospel everywhere we go.

So thankful for every person who served today. From the choir loft to the nursery, from greeting at the doors to serving coffee and donuts, every act of service matters. The Kingdom is built through faithful people willing to shine where God has placed them.

Church family, keep shining. 💡

You are the salt of the earth. Matthew 5:13

Salt preserves. Salt purifies. Salt creates thirst.

As followers of Christ, we are called to live differently so the world around us sees the goodness of God through our lives. The question is not if we influence people. The question is what kind of influence we leave behind.

Today was also a special day as we recognized our graduating seniors. We are so proud of each of them and excited to see how God will use their lives to shine His light and make a difference wherever He leads them.

And to all the moms, grandmothers and women who love and serve so faithfully, thank you. Happy Mother’s Day! Your influence matters more than you know.

Stay salty, church. 😉
