Jesus asks powerful questions that are penetrating and revealing. They seem to come at critical moments and cut to the heart of the matter. When Jesus asks Bartimeus – What do you want me to do for you?  When he asks the disciples- Who are you following – What are you looking for? When he asks Peter – Who do you say that I am? Jesus wasn't looking for an answer; he was inviting transformation. In his disciples, in his followers... in US... here and now.
Although Jesus drew large crowds wherever he went, there were many who were not completely on board with his message. Even his family seemed to have doubts about his ministry. Jesus makes it clear who really belongs to the family of God.

Welcome to online worship with First Baptist Church. Let us join hearts together as we honor our Lord, Jesus Christ with our worship today.
OUR RESPONSE
Creating God, your reign of love makes all things new. Plant seeds of confidence and gladness in our hearts, so that, trusting your word, we may live no longer for ourselves but for he who died and was raised for us, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Trusting in God with all we have, we give to support the work of God's church because we believe in our mission to share God's love with our community and world in the name of Jesus. Give online or by mail. Giving allows us to keep being the church, even in the absence of our physical presence. (411 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28401)
What is my definition of family?
Have I made the choice to be a part of the family of God?
How am I living out my commitment to the family of God?
God desires to have a relationship with you! He has given us ways to know Him better through His son, Jesus Christ. Knowing God and having faith in Jesus is a personal and individual decision for each person. We would love to talk with you and help you begin or deepen your faith journey.
