FBC Lithonia Sermons

From Doubt to Devotion

Message on Easter Sunday to a filled church, based on John 20: 24-31 All of the Disciples had a struggle accepting the resurrection to be true, especially the disciple named Thomas. They reasoned the resurrection to be impossible and it was by human standards. Our Lord loved them enough to help them cross from doubt to a firm belief. When they came to faith they learned to walk by faith and follow their Savior to the death. What about you??

The Presentation of the Lamb

On Palm Sunday in the city of Jerusalem Jesus presented Himself to the crowds as the long awaited Messiah. Many of the people were true worshippers and proved themselves faithful till the end; many were fickle and only 5 days later changed their tune and shouted 'crucify him'; sadly some were foolish and refused to acknowledge His true identity as Savior of the world. As we look at these scriptures found in Luke 19 35-42 which category do you fall into?

Easter Cantata

First Baptist Lithonia's annual Easter Cantata, performed by our 27 member Sanctuary Choir. Accompanied by our accomplished organist, talented pianist, and skilled drummer. This years musical is entitled 'Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb'. Very thankful for Bethany's leadership and all the hardwork put into this great time of worship.

Confronting Dangerous Doctrine

Sermon #4 Messages to the Seven Churches Revelation 2 18-28 The Lord recognizes that there are some faithful servants at the church of Thyatira. However they failed to deal with a false teacher who was leading many believers astray. Jesus spoke stong words of warning to this Jezebel and encouraged this body of believers to stand firm on the truth of Scripture.

Overcoming the World

Sermon #3 Messages to the Seven Churches, Revelation 2 12-17 Just like the believers in the church of Pergamum, christians today are surrounded by many temptations. We must be vigilant and strong so that we don't fall for his evil tactics. Always remember that when we do get tangled in the Enemy's web of deciet, there is a way of escape through true repentance. We can overcome the world with God's help!

Refined by the Fire

Letters to the Seven Churches, sermon #2 (Revelation 2, 8-11) Going through hardship and times of persecution has always been a part of the Christian life. In the middle of the storm remember that God knows what it is like to suffer and He understands exactly what you're going through today. Jesus instructs us to hold on to Him and He reminds us that these trials are temporary. Finally the Lord tells us about the rich Heavenly reward that awaits those that persevere.

First Things First

song by Sanctuary Choir,'There is a Redeemer'(4.30 min) Followed by #1 Message in a new sermon series called 'Letters to the seven churches' This letter was written to the church at Ephesus and the Lord commended them for their faithful labor, He also admired their stand on personal holiness; however they left out the most important thing. They had lost their fervor for a deep growing relationship with theier God. Without Jesus being number one, all else is empty. (Revelation 2, 1-7)

Greatest Story Ever Told

Special message from Dr. Robert White on the occasion of our church's 170th Anniversary. The Executive Director of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board shared a powerful message from (John 3 16,17) about God's amazing Love,His sacrifice, and everyone's opportunity to receive eternal life. Included in this recording is an introduction of Dr. White and a powerful song "The Blessing", sung by Bethany Wark and Barb Lindsay.

A Love that Lifts Up

Focus on the Family #6 (I Cor 13 1-8) Only an amazing, self sacrificing Love that comes from God is able to overcome all adversity and be the glue that keeps marriages together and thriving. The truth is Love has everything to do with it, this love that never fails is almost too beautiful to put into words, and finally this self sacrificial Love rises aboveenemi all the es plans.

Be a Living Example

Focus on the Family #5 2 Timothy 1 3-9a We see in this message how important it is to have godly parents that live their faith in front of their children. Timothy had a loving grandmother and a faithful mom, he also had a giant of a spiritual father in the Apostle Paul. As parents let us lift our children up in prayer, let us strive to model a life of ministry and devotion for the Lord. Be that example our children need to have!
