Chris Wall • Revelation 3:1-6 ESV
First Baptist Owasso is a church committed to community. We are living life together walking through the ups and downs of life. As we build a church living in AUTHENTIC BIBLICAL COMMUNITY, we get close enough to one another to confront, serve, and face adversity side by side. Sardis was a church that was on the verge of death because they failed to live together authentically. Let's learn from this dying church.
Chris Wall • Revelation 2:1-7 ESV Our church has been planted in Owasso and Tulsa to "Love All people to Christ, equipping them on their journey with God and one another."

Nehemiah helps us see there is a good way to steward resources while being generous to others advancing the Kingdom of God. God's people tripped financially in Chapter 5 providing an incredible lesson for us as we live life together during difficult times. ...
