A Gathering For Revival: Meeting Together, Seeking Christ

Posted on by

What is “Revival”? For some, the idea of revival is simply a momentary block of days on a calendar where a church tries to connect people to Jesus. For others, revival is a more inward effort to rekindle and foster a passion for Jesus Christ, for the gospel, for a life of holiness and empowering.

There are two possible definitions for what we at First Baptist Church are actively praying for:

  • A restoration to use, acceptance, activity, or vigor after a period of obscurity or quiescence.
  • A meeting or series of meetings for the purpose of reawakening religious faith, often characterized by impassioned preaching and public testimony.

In short, we are hoping, though powerful ,Christ-centered preaching and intentional,  focused prayer to experience a genuine reconnection and recommitment to Christ and His mission for the church. For some of us, that may mean addressing besetting sin, for others it may represent finding peace in our troubled times. And yes, for some, it may mean the first real encounter with the risen Savior in saving faith.  Regardless, it is our prayer and overwhelming desire that we all are renewed, refreshed, and strengthened in our walk, and that the Love of Christ would so fill us that none can miss that we have been with Jesus!

But we also recognize the warning found in 1 Peter 4:17 “For it is time for judgment to begin with the house of God”.

We will have a time of food and fellowship each evening beginning at 6PM, with the preaching service to begin at 6:30PM.

If you would like to bring a musical special any evening, please reach out ASAP so that we can get you on the schedule.

Our preachers:

SUNDAY: Bro. Harold Smith, FBC of Roland, OK

MONDAY: Bro. Wes Brown, Plummerville FBC

TUESDAY: Bro. Derrick Bremmer, Denver Street MBC (Greenwood, AR)

WEDNESDAY: Bro. Todd Spradlin, Quitman FBC

FBC BIBLE CONFERENCE 2019 What IS the GOSPEL?

Posted on by

First Baptist Church of Cave Springs is excited to present our 2nd Annual Bible Conference #BIBLECON2019:

#FBCBIBLECON2019

What IS The GOSPEL?If we don’t get the gospel right, nothing else matters.

In a world that is in need of the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ – there is troubling diversity of views and variations of the so-called “gospel”.  Only one gospel saves – and it is not a sugar-coated pill or a message of financial prosperity.  The gospel that redeems lost souls is not a promise of some kind of social justice or deliverance from worldly oppression.

No, the true gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel that truly changes people from the inside-out, that transforms lost sinners into regenerated children of God. It is a gospel that is sweeter than honey to those who believe, yet foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1:18).

So – how do we know which gospel is the true gospel, and which is accursed? That is what this year’s conference is all about – answering the question: What IS the Gospel?

Each evening, beginning at 6:30PM, we will hear from a the Word of God through a man who is driven by the Word and a passion to see the truth proclaimed. Come to be encouraged, strengthened, and to grow in your faith as you are equipped to discern the gospel that was first preached from all the rest.

SPEAKER LINE-UP:

  • SUNDAY, March 31 – Pastor Wade Lentz, Beryl Baptist, Vilonia, AR
  • MONDAY, April 1 – Pastor Gene Tanner, Fairfield Bay Baptist Church
  • TUESDAY, April 2 – Evangelist Clint Vernon, Clinton, AR
  • WEDNESDAY, April 3 – Dr. Charley Holmes, President – Baptist Missionary Association Theological Seminary, Jacksonville, TX.
