Praying for the Persecuted Church

Last updated on: April 21, 2020 at 4:09 pm By Matt Pearson

Sunday (April 19th), the BBC campus pastors began a series through the Sermon on the Mount. The first sermon focused on the Beatitudes of Jesus, Matthew 5:1-12. The last three verses deal with persecution that comes with following Jesus. Mark that down. One fourth of the first 12 verses of Jesus’ sermon speaks directly to persecution that comes with following Him. If you aren’t being mistreated in some way for following the Lord, something is off. Though the persecution seems... Read more

West Franklin Talks – Episode #16 – Links Mentioned (Beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount Resources)

Last updated on: April 20, 2020 at 3:17 pm By Matt Pearson

Sunday (April 19th, 2020), I started a sermon series at West Franklin on the Sermon on the Mount called “No Ordinary Sermon.” Due to time, not every Beatitude was addressed. So, in this episode of West Franklin Talks, Dave and Matt share their thoughts on all of Jesus’ Beatitudes. For your own personal study, let me encourage you to check out several (or all!) of these resources: Words from the Hill by Stu Garrard Beatitudes – Music Album by Stu... Read more

Intimacy: A Letter to West Franklin

Last updated on: May 22, 2020 at 1:44 pm By Matt Pearson

“Greet one another with a holy kiss.” Paul was not able to be with his congregations when he wrote these words. He was in one place (prison). They were in another. (See Romans 16:16, 1 Corinthians 16:20, 2 Corinthians 13:12.) He wrote letters, had them sent (probably in secret) by a messenger, to the churches he loved so dearly. It’s always been very interesting to me how important it was for Paul to make sure his congregations took care of... Read more

Grace: A Letter to West Franklin

Last updated on: May 22, 2020 at 1:45 pm By Matt Pearson

West Franklin Family, Holy Saturday. I’m glad I wasn’t around then. I would have been like everyone else. I wouldn’t have believed. I would have thought it was over. I would have assumed all of my hopes, dreams, expectations, aspirations, and future plans were dead. To my knowledge, no one woke up that first Easter Sunday morning thinking, “Today’s the day!” The faithful women went only to care for a dead body, not watch a resurrection. Yet, despite everyone’s unbelief,... Read more

Jesus’ Seven Sayings and Balance

Last updated on: April 8, 2020 at 11:09 am By Matt Pearson

The Gospel writers record for us seven different – and breathtaking – sayings from Jesus between the time He was hoisted on the cross and when He breathed His last. Seven is a perfect number. Seven implies “wholeness” in biblical thought. You can make a pretty good case that if all you had to go on were Jesus’ last words, you would have a whole picture of what He came to do and accomplish. As I have studied and read... Read more

Silent Wednesday

Last updated on: April 8, 2020 at 10:45 am By Matt Pearson

The Bible is silent about Wednesday of Holy Week. No actions of Jesus are mentioned. No words of Jesus recorded. Silence. It is a good reminder for us to be still and pay attention to what God has done and is doing around us right now. It’s a good time to just be silent. Let me encourage you to go here today and take your time walking through a virtual “silent service.” Pause. Meditate. Reflect. Be silent. Write down what... Read more
