First Baptist Church has been a part of the New Philadelphia community for over 160 years! We are a unique blend of traditional values and contemporary methods.
This week, we explore the Church's primary mission in light of biblical prophecy and the end times, and the profound responsibility believers have to disseminate God's Word.
Many Christians might find themselves caught in contemporary debates or seeking knowledge for its own sake, potentially diverting focus from what truly matters. This creates a tension between engaging with current events and fulfilling core biblical mandates.
Our sermon clarifies that while understanding current events is important, the Church's main task remains the Great Commission.
Using the book of Esther, we see how King Ahasuerus's unalterable decree, published throughout his empire, serves as a powerful picture of God's Word—perfect, preserved, and meant to be made public. The term "publish" itself, meaning both to write down and to proclaim, underscores this dual responsibility.
This teaching has profound practical relevance, reminding us that our beliefs directly influence our actions. It challenges us to consider our unique role in getting God's Word out, whether through supporting translation efforts like the Albanian Bible project or personally sharing the gospel. The ultimate purpose is for people to hear from God and respond.
Join us for the full message to gain a deeper understanding of your vital role in God's ongoing mission.
