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

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 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

It is a small, but powerful, life-changing word. Yet, so many people overlook it when reading the Bible. All. That word occurs more than 5,600 times in Scripture in more than 4,600 different verses. Many times, God is communicating important lessons to us through the word “all.” On Sunday, April 8, I will begin, “All,” a 10-week sermon series examining what God is trying to tell us through some key passages containing this small, powerful word.

Perhaps you have noticed the phrase in the Bible. On nine occasions, the Bible says that Jesus “crossed over to the other side” in reference to the Sea of Galilee. What is important is what happened when Jesus and His disciples arrived on the other side. “Crossing Over … What Happened When Jesus Arrived.” In these messages, we will look at what happened on each of the nine occasions when Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

What is in a name?  Juliet asked that question in Shakespeare’s classic play.  When it comes to God, there is so much to His names!  God reveals Himself through His character.  Whenever He revealed another aspect of His character to the Israelites, God used another name for Himself.  We will study carefully the names He chose for Himself so we can learn more of God’s character that He has revealed to us.
