Chris Wall • Colossians 1:1-8
The core of Christianity is the gospel. The heart of every gospel centered Christian is urgency and clarity with the gospel message. This year, the leadership of First Baptist is asking you to join us to recommit to sharing the gospel where we live.
Our 2021Gospeladventure is to build a missionary mindset in our lives. Every believer is called to be on mission (Matthew 28:16-20)
The people of First Baptist have an expanding mission in Spanish and English. We have an expanding mission from the inner city of Tulsa to the expanding suburbs and surrounding towns.
The question before us is whether or not we will accept it. God wants to involve us in His mission. And as our loving Heavenly Father, He has given us everything we need to accomplish it.
Epaphras sets an example for us as he was given strength in every situation, power by the Holy Spirit, while being faithfully surrounded with passionate, committed, and capable Believers who stood ready to fulfill this mission with him.
Chris Wall • Nehemiah 5 ESV Nehemiah Chapter 5 is quite surprising when you put this passage intocontext. God's people had just banded together to rebuild the Walls of Jerusalem in under two months cooperating in masterful ways.

When we disregard others to gain more for ourselves, we miss the entire point of God's blessing in our lives. 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. ...
Chris Wall • Revelation 3:14-22 ESV God has called and mobilized us to engage together as Ambassadors for Christ. Like 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “it is as though God were making His appeal through us.” God has been faithful to make Himself known to the world, but His most effective and intentional plan for sharing the news of salvation to the lost is through the lives of every believer and every church. Let’s engage with one another living every day as Ambassadors for Christ. ...
Christmas is a season to celebrate the greatest gift ever given - a babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger. This gift of God's Son is the gift of life for all who believe. Before the time of His birth and as angels declared His glory, the coming of the newborn King inspired songs of faith and acts of remarkable courage. Find strength and experience joy in Songs of the Season. ...
