Happy Mother's Day! This morning's Big Picture Question is, "What is the goal of God's plan?" God wants wonderful things for us, and He longs for us to know His grace, love, and peace. Today, no matter what happens, rest in the comfort of knowing that God is on our side. [more]

Good morning! Today's Big Picture Question is, "How does God accomplish His plan?" It's easy for us to assume that God can't or won't use us because of our sin or because we don't feel qualified, but God desperately longs to use us to spread the good news of Christ! This week, watch for opportunities to share His hope and love. God is faithful to give you the words to say, you just have to trust Him and step out in faith. [more]

Good morning! Today's Big Picture Question is, "How can we show we love God?" How does your next door neighbor know that you love God? How does your family know that you love God? How do your coworkers know that you love God? Our words, our actions, and our attitudes all reflect the love of Christ. How can you use those to bring others to Him this week? [more]

Good morning! Today's Big Picture Question is, "What does God do when we pray?" God hears our every prayer--whether we say it out loud or just in our hearts. He delights in the details of our lives, and loves when we pour out our heart to Him. Do you trust God to hear your prayers? Do you trust God to answer your prayers? Talk as a family this week about prayer. When do you like to pray? What do you pray for? Make an extra effort this week to pray together as a family--what better way to begin or end your day than spending time with the Lord all together?! [more]

Good morning! Today's Big Picture Question is, "What does God do when we obey Him?" Which Bible characters obeyed God? Which Bible characters didn't obey God? God is faithful even when we disobey Him...but how much sweeter and easier would life be if we just obeyed God (the first time)?! As a family, read Isaiah 48:17-18. Pray together asking God for the courage to obey Him--no matter what! [more]

Good morning! Today's Big Picture Question is, "How does God feel about sin?" Talk as a family about sin: what is it? How do we know what sin is? Why do we sin? We are all sinners, separated from God. But Christ died for our sins, taking our place. This week, be aware of how your actions, words, and attitudes are leading people towards the hope of Christ.

The Amarillo Globe News caught the Easter Bunny at our Annual FBC Easter Egg Hunt...Check out the pics!

He is risen! He is risen indeed! 

What hope we celebrate today! Our Christ is alive, restored to glory, reigning forever. No other religion serves a resurrected and living God as we do.  [more]

"Tomorrow is Easter, and we are probably, in our minds, pushing past today and thinking of the grand celebration that will take place commemorating the resurrection of Jesus. But wait. Not so fast. We would do well to remember that the people we read about in the Bible had to live this all one verse at a time. They didn't know the end of the story. They couldn't skip ahead to the next chapter. For them...Jesus was dead and buried. The tomb was sealed shut. Hope was gone, lying there silently in that cave." [more]

"It is Good Friday. And there are a lot of good things about it. Rain falls at this time of year, sun shines and beautiful things grow. So what draws us today to think about an instrument of death? Is there not something better we could do with our day to enrich our lives? Everything in the world...tells us that there are other things we could be doing to enhance our longevity, improve our lifestyle, increase our happiness. But the truth is...these things do not bring what they promise. We are all dying to live, but the allure of this life is always proven to be an illusion...Our health is compromised. A relationship fails. A loved one dies. The opportunity of a lifetime falls through... [more]
