    Sunday Sermon | Don't Miss God: Gospel of Mark Series

    How does someone end up standing outside a soldier's funeral with a hateful sign, genuinely convinced they're serving God? That's the opening question of this Memorial Day weekend message — and Mark 2 provides a sobering answer. It doesn't happen overnight. It's a slow drift, usually starting with a good heart and a real desire to honor God. But when religious activity gets untethered from God's actual heart, it produces something cold, self-righteous, and ultimately capable of seeing a broken person as a tool rather than a human being to love. In Mark 2:23–3:6, Jesus clashes twice with the Pharisees over the Sabbath. Both times, he exposes the same root issue: they've taken something God gave as a gift and turned it into an idol. They've learned the rules, protected the rules, and completely missed the God behind the rules. Pastor Garrett McCord works through the passage with pastoral honesty — including a story from his own early ministry when he realized he was drifting the same direction — and lands on five sharp questions for self-examination: ways we can be doing all the right things while quietly missing God's heart for people. The message closes with the Gospel: the Lord of the Sabbath died to give us true rest. And the invitation is still open — "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne

    Sunday Sermon | The Gospel of Mark: Jesus at the Table

    "Jesus at the Table" | Mark 2:13–22 | Pastor Jason Smith FBC Boerne — Gospel of Mark Series A tax collector in first-century Judea wasn't just unpopular. He was a traitor — a fellow Jew collecting money for Rome, using extortion and power to squeeze his own people. If he walked into your home, it became ceremonially unclean. Jesus walked up to his booth and said, "Follow me." In this message from Mark 2:13–22, Pastor Jason Smith traces three scenes that together paint one of the most joyful portraits of Jesus in the Gospels: the calling of Levi, the party that follows, and the confrontation with the Pharisees over fasting. Jesus answers them with two quick illustrations — a patch on old cloth, new wine in old wineskins — that reframe everything. He didn't come to patch dead religion. He brought something entirely new. The message includes the remarkable story of Dr. Rosaria Butterfield — a tenured professor, committed feminist, and vocal critic of Christianity who encountered a pastor who simply invited her to dinner. Not as a debate. Not as a project. Just dinner. And over two years, the word of God and the warmth of a household that looked like Levi's party changed everything. The closing question lands quietly but won't let go: are we becoming more like the Pharisees standing outside the feast — or like Jesus at the table? https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne

    Sunday Sermon | The Gospel of Mark: Your Sins are Forgiven

    Mark 2:1–12 | Pastor Jason Smith FBC Boerne — Gospel of Mark Series Four men hear that Jesus is back in Capernaum. Their friend is paralyzed. The house is overflowing. So they carry him up to the roof and tear it open. The crowd expects a healing. Jesus looks at the man and says: "Son, your sins are forgiven." In this message from Mark 2:1–12, Pastor Jason Smith unpacks why that sentence is either the most important thing Jesus ever said — or the most offensive. The scribes sitting front and center understand the stakes immediately: only God can forgive sins. So either Jesus is blaspheming, or God himself just walked into Peter's house. The message works through what forgiveness actually costs, why the paralysis was never the deepest problem, and what it means that Jesus sees the faith of those four friends in the chaos and delights in it rather than being irritated by it. It closes with a direct, unhurried word for believers who've quietly convinced themselves that their failures have worn out Jesus's patience. "Your remaining struggle does not surprise your Savior. There is more grace in him than there is guilt in you." Preached on Mother's Day 2026. https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne

    Recharge | The Church: We're Going Somewhere

    We spend a lot of time thinking about what the church is. This week Pastor Jason asks a different question: where is the church going? From Ephesians 5, we see the church as the purchased bride of Christ — not tolerated, not managed, but loved and died for. And the journey ends not with quiet rest, but with a wedding feast. Revelation 19 pictures heaven as a celebration: feasting, rejoicing, union with the One who gave everything to be with us. The climax of Scripture — Revelation 22:4 — is four words: "They shall see His face." To be fully known. Fully satisfied. Standing before the One who purchased you. We're on a journey. And the destination is worth the ride. Scripture: Ephesians 5:25–27 | Revelation 19:6–9 | Revelation 22:4 https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne

    Sunday Sermon | The Gospel of Mark: Everyone Is Looking For You

    Mark 1:35–45 | Pastor Jason Smith FBC Boerne — Gospel of Mark Series Everyone is looking for you. The disciples said it to Jesus like it was breaking news. For most of us, it's just Tuesday. In this message from Mark 1:35–45, Pastor Jason Smith opens with unusual honesty about his own exhaustion — a week alone in Wyoming with no cell signal, returning to a totaled car and a flooded house — and makes a simple, pastoral case: if Jesus needed to withdraw and pray, how much more do we? The second half of the passage introduces a man with leprosy. Not just sick — exiled. Cut off from family, community, worship. Required by law to cry out "unclean" if anyone came near. And Jesus, moving against every social and religious boundary of the day, reaches out and touches him. That touch is the sermon. When Jesus touches the unclean, he doesn't become unclean. They become clean. And that movement — Jesus drawing near to the broken rather than keeping his distance — is exactly what the church remembers at the Lord's Table. This message was preached on a Lord's Supper Sunday, and the two halves of the passage carry the two movements of the morning beautifully. Worth listening to in full. https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne

    Recharge | The Church: Who Holds the Authority?

    It's a question most churches avoid — but Pastor Jason Smith addresses it directly: where does authority actually lie in the church? Not with the pastor. Not with the board. Not with the person who gives the most or speaks the loudest. In this Wednesday Night Recharge message, Pastor Jason walks through what Scripture actually teaches about church authority and leadership — and the answers are both clarifying and convicting. The congregation holds more responsibility than most of us realize. Leaders are given one tool: to persuade from God's Word. And Christ alone is the head — every structure in the church exists to protect that, nothing else. Drawing from Ephesians 1, Galatians, Matthew 16 and 18, 1 Peter 5, and Hebrews, this message is a clear-eyed look at the church God designed — and why it looks so different from both consumer Christianity and top-down control. If you've ever wondered what a healthy church is actually supposed to look like on the inside, this is a good place to start. https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne

    Sunday Sermon | Missions Sunday 2026: Sent

    Here's a math problem worth sitting with: if you discipled one person a year, and they did the same, the entire world could be reached in 34 years. Fill a stadium every day for a thousand years and you'd still fall short. That's not just a clever illustration. It's the logic of the Great Commission. In this Mission Sunday message, Pastor Chad Mason makes the case that every follower of Jesus is already a sent one — not someday, not if they get more training, not if they feel ready. Right now, in the life and season they're already living. The message moves through John 17, Acts 13, and 2 Corinthians 5, and includes a conversation with Rachel Russo — founder of Vault Foster Community — whose story of 20 years of faithful obedience is one of the most honest and moving testimonies you'll hear. No degree, no master plan, just a yes and an availability. Whether you've been on ten mission trips or have never thought of yourself as someone God could use — this message is for you. "You may not be a missionary, but you can live on mission." https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne

    Recharge | The Church: The Body of Christ

    There's a stat that might stop you in your tracks: chronic loneliness is more dangerous to your health than smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. And in 2016, for the first time in recorded history, the average American lifespan actually declined — driven not by disease, but by isolation. God called it in Genesis 2: "It is not good for man to be alone." In this week's Wednesday Night Recharge, Pastor Jason Smith takes us into 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, and James 5 to explore what genuine community looks like inside the body of Christ — and why it's not just good for us, but is literally the glory of God on display. We talk about why we need each other's gifts, what it actually means to bear one another's burdens, and how real accountability — like a guardrail, not a cage — is one of the most loving things a community can offer. If you've been trying to carry things alone, this one's for you. https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne
