First Baptist Church Covington, Louisiana

Metairie Church is progressing nicely. I am looking forward to preaching at Metairie Church this weekend. Of course, I preach each week by means of media, but this week I will preach “live.” After the service in Metairie we have a lunch fellowship. I am excited about being with new and current friends at Metairie Church. This is the way …

This Part I of a two part series on Finishing Well. Please come back to the site tomorrow to see Part II. Last week, I received an email from friends in Arkansas. David and Shirley Smith traveled to Israel with us last year. That’s how we became friends. We have continued our friendship at a distance since that time. This …

As a boy in church, I thought I understood our offering. After we gave our offerings, the ushers placed the plates on the Lord’s Supper table in front of the pulpit. Like the whole burnt offerings in the temple, I assumed the offering went up to God sometime after the worship service ended. Eventually, I learned it doesn’t work that …

Years ago I preached a sermon with the title: “Why Good Things Happen At Church.” I have no idea what I said–I only remember the title.

Next weekend, April 6-7, I will begin a new sermon series based on passages of Scripture which Christians need to know and live. The series will last ten weeks and will cover ten passages of Scripture which are vital to Christian living. A couple of years ago I preached “The Great Eight,” eight sermons from what I consider essential passages …

Metairie Church got off to a great start last week. About 80 people showed up for the initial meeting of this newest worship service of First Baptist Church and for our first multi-campus site. Many of the people who attended were members of FBC who attended to introduce a friend or relative to Metairie Church. Others were there to serve …

This is a historic weekend for First Baptist Church. It begins the meeting of the Metarie Campus of First Baptist Church. We are thankful for all who have prayed and worked to make this day possible. Please let me share with you my vision for the future of our church and our campuses. First, we seek to be a church …

Last week I went to visit the location of our new multi-campus site called Metairie Church–I was blown away. It is an impressive location with an impressive look. You will be thrilled at what you see. Here’s a suggestion for what you can do. Go by during the day when workers are present and look in the front door (please …

We all have to take the way of the cross. No other way of devotion to God exists. We either take up the cross or we deny Christ. This is the gist of the new sermon series which begins this week and ends with the resurrection of Christ. Please plan to participate in each sermon. You can view the sermons …
