First Baptist Church

At the table, Jesus pointed to what was coming. His body would be broken. His life given. Not taken from Him, but willingly offered for us. Prayer: Jesus, help me remember the cost of my salvation and never take Your sacrifice lightly.

The crowd praised Him as King, but many didn’t yet understand the kind of King He truly was. Jesus didn’t come to take a throne. He came to go to the cross. Prayer: Lord, help me not just to praise You with my words, but to truly surrender to You as King.

Salvation isn’t about what you bring to Jesus, it’s about receiving what He’s already done for you.

You don’t have to see it all to trust Jesus, just cry out and take the next step.

So thankful for today. It was a joy to serve our county and love our community. Thank you to everyone who showed up with servant hearts.

One of the ways we live out our faith as a church family is by loving the community God has placed around us. If you’d like to be involved, visit FBCMadison.org/Events to see how you can participate.

Goodbye, darkness! ☀️ We’re celebrating an extra hour of evening sunlight starting tomorrow. It’s a beautiful, tangible reminder that the Light always overcomes the darkness. What’s one thing you’re looking forward to doing with that extra hour of daylight?

Strong marriages don’t happen by accident. They grow when we slow down, reconnect, and invest in them. Join us April 17–18 at First Baptist Madison as we welcome Dr. Tate & Wendy Cockrell for a weekend focused on growing closer to one another and to Christ FBCMadison.tpsdb.com/OnlineReg/443

The Lord who meets us in worship sends us out with purpose into our homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods. Let’s not just attend church, let’s be the Church wherever God sends us this week.

We opened God’s Word together as we continued the reminder that everything we have is from Him and for Him.

What a great reminder at this weeks Legacy Builders. We were challenged with the opportunity we have as a church to carry the Gospel of Jesus through missions, not just across the world, but through the next generation right here at home.

When grace fills your heart, generosity becomes the overflow.

A few spots remain for the upcoming Holy Land pilgrimage. Join us for an informational meeting this Sunday at 2:45 PM in the Family Life Center, upstairs in Room 8221, to learn more and see if this journey is right for you. FBCMadison.org/Events
