He Is Risen

Celebrate that Jesus Christ is RISEN at FBCJennings! Bring your family to our Easter Celebration Family day on April 19th at 10am. Our Easter Sunday service is on April 20, 2025 at 10:15am. We hope to see you there!

“He is not here, for He has risen!” Matthew 28:6

None Like Him

 

Our limitations are by design. We were never meant to be God. But at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone. Calling us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God’s limitless power, Jen Wilkin invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we rest in letting God be God.

Ladies, we hope you join us for this discussion group!

Wild At Heart

Men, join Joseph starting March 12th as he leads this Bible study!

God designed men to seek out adventure. But, somewhere between childhood and the struggles of yesterday, most men lose sight of those dreams. Fear not: bestselling author and counselor John Eldredge is here to teach men that there’s a better way to live.

In this updated and expanded edition of the timeless bestseller Wild at Heart, Eldredge unpacks man’s search for validation, the need for the development of courage in his soul, and the call to live a life of adventure.

Using discoveries from his own life and backing them with scripture, Eldredge reminds men that although their childhood passions, dreams, and desires may start getting buried under deadlines, pressures, and disappointments, it doesn’t have to be this way.

In fact, God made men to embrace a life of courage, adventure, and freedom. He created men to take risks and find true purpose and belonging.

Wild at Heart invites men to experience wholeheartedness by:

  • Recovering their true masculine heart
  • Healing the wounds and trauma in their stories
  • Delighting in the wildness they were created to offer the world
  • Discovering the life-giving power of nature
  • Helping them to discover the truth about what makes them come alive

Join Eldredge as he calls men to discover the true secret of the masculine soul and finally start living the life God intended for every man.

We hope you join us for EMBRACE! Embrace is a conference which incorporates Bible study, missions education, women’s topics, and worship to equip all Louisiana women to realize their God-given value and purpose as they grow in Christ. For more info, contact Nonie Sonnier or the church office.

First Place | New Session

In Beyond Free, we’ll study the power of obedience and what holds us in the chains of defeat. Galatians 5:1 offers a past-tense promise with a present tense punch. Jesus set us free, so we could live in freedom…now.  It says we must stand our ground, and not be burdened again by any form of slavery.

In this study, we’ll study and pray, binding ourselves to two staunch beliefs. First, freedom is real because Jesus offered it. He wouldn’t have teased us with it if it weren’t true. Second, freedom is neither perfection nor permission.

Saturate USA

Saturate USA is a God-sized vision to take the love of the Gospel to 120 million households by the end of 2027. The hope is to spark true repentance and revival in our beloved country. Please share this vision with your friends and colleagues so that they can join this exciting movement.

Our country needs to rediscover the message of the Gospel and we need to cry out in prayer for revival to sweep the land. United in love, and with God on our side, we can win America back to Christ.

If you would like to help distribute, please contact the church office.
