Non-Series Sermons

Sunday, May 3 - June 28

We are certainly living in unprecedented days.  Does the Bible speak of the coronavirus?  Can the words of an ancient book speak to the times in which we are living today? 

Starting on May 3, Dr. Ammons will begin a 9-week sermon series in which he takes the most famous passages of Scripture and relates how they apply to the days of COVID-19.

Why is Jesus’ message unique among other belief systems today?  How are His teachings similar and how are they unique to other belief systems of our day?  Why is Jesus’ claim to the only way to heaven important?  Are all other beliefs wrong?  If so, why?  Beginning February 2, Dr. Greg Ammons will answer these and other questions in a 6-week Sunday morning sermon series entitled, “Jesus Among Other Beliefs.” Series Messages

Wednesday, February 5-April 8, 2020
What does forgiveness look like?  It is a wonderful idea but how does forgiveness look when it becomes a practical reality for you?  In his book, Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis said, “Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until they have something to forgive.”  Beginning February 5, Dr. Greg Ammons will teach the book of Philemon  in a verse-by-verse study entitled, “What Does Forgiveness Look Like?”  The study will meet each Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. in the Worship Center of the First Baptist Church of Garland and will examine how true forgiveness really looks.

What were the Old Testament prophets expecting Christmas to be like?  What were they looking for in the coming of the Messiah hundreds of years before Jesus was born?  Beginning November 24, Senior Pastor, Dr. Greg Ammons, will preach through a Christmas sermon series that looks at what these Godly men of the past saw in Baby Jesus to come.  Celebrate this Christmas in a new, fresh way by looking back hundreds of years and rejoicing with those who knew Jesus so well. December 2019 series

What do you do whenever you have a mountain in your life? We usually dread these rugged peaks. Have you ever considered that God may use mountains in powerful, positive ways in your life? On eight different occasions in the Gospels, we are told that Jesus encountered mountains. Senior Pastor Dr. Greg Ammons looks at all eight of these times from the life of Jesus to see how we deal with mountains of our own.  Sometimes we climb them. Sometimes we cross them. Sometimes we move them. Fall 2019 series

Are there questions you have always wondered but did not really want to ask? Maybe you have questions about why Christians believe as they do on a subject. Perhaps you wonder what the Bible actually says about a particular topic. If you could get a friend to ask the question, you would be interested in hearing the answer. Dr. Greg Ammons will answer some of these tough questions in an 8-week sermon series entitled, “Asking for a Friend.” Spring 2019 series

How was Jesus known among the people of His day? What was it about Him that made the crowds flock to Him and the common person love Him? What can we learn in 2019 from the way in which Jesus approached the people of His day? One phrase in one verse of the Bible gives us a clue. During the Sunday morning worship services for February, Dr. Greg Ammons will take a look at a powerful phrase in John 1:14 to answer these vital questions. February 2019 series
