We pray it often: “Your kingdom come.”

But what will that Kingdom actually be like?

Isaiah 11 gives us a glimpse—a Kingdom where people from every nation are invited in, God's people are gathered together, divisions disappear, every enemy is defeated, and Jesus reigns as King.

We see glimpses of His Kingdom now. One day, we'll see it fully. Read the Sunday recap and watch the full message below. 👇

The world is broken, but it won’t always be this way.

Isaiah 11 points us to the only King who can truly make things right: Jesus. One day, He will restore creation to what God intended from the beginning.

And He can begin restoring what’s broken in us today. 🌱

The King is coming. It will be worth the wait.

What a great Sunday at First Baptist! 🙌

Lots of baptisms, a full choir leading us in both services (what a treat!), and a church family gathered together in worship. So much to celebrate today! 💛

Feeling worn down by the pace of life? Jesus offers more than a break...He offers rest for your soul.

In Bro. James' Foundations teaching this Wednesday, we looked at Matthew 11:28–30 and what it means to find true rest in Jesus and intentionally build a healthy rhythm of Sabbath rest into our lives.

Read the recap and discover how slowing down can become an act of faith, worship, and trust in God.

What you feed will grow. Every day, we’re strengthening either our faith or our flesh through what we choose to focus on, pursue, and practice.

Feed your faith. Starve the flesh. Choose what leads you closer to Christ.

We often want instant transformation, but God does His deepest work over time. Spiritual growth isn’t built on shortcuts, but through faithful consistency.

Up before sunrise for breakfast, fellowship, and a great word from Andy Blanks! 👊

This morning we were reminded to put down what we aren’t meant to carry, fix our eyes on Jesus, and run the race He has for us...even through trials and distractions.

Grateful for these men and a great morning together!
