First Baptist Church in Roxana

A SOLID CHURCH IS WORTH MORE THAN GOLD!

Expository Preaching

We open the Word in a verse-by-verse fashion in order to clearly proclaim what God has said so that we may live it out.

Fervent prayer

Expository Preaching

We are devoted to prayer, submitting ourselves to God in the Spirit.

Loving fellowship

DILIGENT DiSCIPLESHIP

We love the body of Christ, and we fellowship often with one another, encouraging one another to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel.

DILIGENT DiSCIPLESHIP

We want to see every believer mature and grow into the image of Christ Jesus.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPOSITORY PREACHING

We believe that the Bible is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work (cf. 2 Tim 3:16-17). As it was breathed out by God, the Bible carries the authority of God. When the Bible speaks, God speaks. Thus, it "is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb 4:12).

Therefore, we believe that preaching should be text-driven. We want to expound what the Bible says. We don't come to a verse and twist it to fit what we want to say. We work hard to study the Word in order to say what the Bible says. We believe the best way to do this is to work verse-by-verse.

Such Word-focused ministry, based on God-breathed Scripture, fulfills four goals at the same time:

(1) Expository preaching builds up the church in faith and knowledge.

(2) Expository preaching brings believers to maturity marked by spiritual stability.

(3) Expository preaching produces a people whose lives are full of integrity.

(4) Expository preaching equips each member for service to one another.

(cf. Ephesians 4:12-16)
