Finding Boldness in Chaos

Set Apart - Pt 7 - Looking for the Lion-hearted (2 Kings 11) "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." — Proverbs 28:1 Where do you turn for courage when the world around you feels chaotic and dark? In this message we dive into 2 Kings 11—a chapter marked by political turmoil, danger, and one of the darkest eras in Judah’s history. But right in the middle of the crisis, two remarkable heroes stepped up to change the trajectory of an entire nation. Surprisingly, they weren’t decorated soldiers or powerful rulers. They were an aging priest named Jehoiada and a young mother named Jehosheba. Tune in as we explore their powerful story and uncover what it really takes to live with a lion-hearted faith today. You'll learn how God uses ordinary, daily obedience to produce extraordinary courage—and how you can stand firm no matter what you're facing. In This Message, We Discuss: **** – Introduction: What does it mean to be "as bold as a lion"? **** – The dark backdrop of 2 Kings 11 and Athaliah's reign **** – Unlikely heroes: Jehosheba’s quiet act of bravery **** – Jehoiada’s strategic faith and leadership **** – Practical application: Cultivating courage in your everyday life Resources & Links: 🌐 Connect with Our Ministry: fbcconroe.org/getconnected 📱 Follow Us on Instagram: @firstconroe 💬 Join the Conversation: Share your thoughts on today's episode by leaving us a review!

The High Cost of Flawed Leadership

Set Apart - Pt 6 - Character Counts: Integrity in Leadership & Life (2 Kings 9-10, Micah 6:6-8) In a modern culture that routinely excuses bad behavior for the sake of political or strategic wins, today's Christians are often tempted to lower the bar on character. But the cautionary tales of Israel and Judah’s kings reveal a sobering truth: integrity is far more important than policy—both in those who lead us and in the lives we live ourselves. 📲 Connect With Us: Subscribe so you never miss a message!

This God is Different

Set Apart - Pt 5 - In 2 Kings 5, we see God use the prophet Elisha to encounter Naaman—a powerful, prideful Syrian warrior who thought he knew how the world (and the gods) worked. But when faced with a disease he couldn't conquer, Naaman was forced to realize that the God of Israel is nothing like the wooden, silent idols of his culture. Our God doesn't demand performance, splashy pageantry, or empty rituals. He demands our trust—and He works intentionally to sow true, life-giving humility in all of us. Join us as we dive into 2 Kings 5 and discover what happens when we surrender our pride and step into the radical grace of a God who is truly different.

Is It Okay to Give Up? What Elijah’s Rock Bottom Teaches Us About Modern Mental Health

Set Apart - Pt 4 - Even the strongest among us hit a wall. In this message, we dive into 1 Kings 19 to look at the story of Elijah—big, bad, bold Elijah—who completely lost hope and despaired for his very life. We all face those dark seasons where we feel like giving up, but the way God responds to our rock-bottom moments changes everything. Instead of condemnation, God meets Elijah with radical grace, proving that even in our deepest valleys, there is still joy to be found. Tune in to discover how God meets us in the darkness and offers a fountain of hope when we need it most.

The Version of God You Don't Believe In (And Why I Don't Either)

Set Apart - Pt 3 - Be a Big-Godder - What happens when your faith matches the actual size of your God? In this message, we dive deep into the gripping story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17-18. Elijah was the ultimate “big-Godder”—a man whose radical boldness proved that the God he believed in was big enough to shake nations, bring the rain, and change things for good. God doesn't want us living with a small, timid faith. He wants to develop that exact same holy boldness inside of us today. Tune in to discover how you can stop living in fear and start stepping out as a "Big-Godder" in your home, your workplace, and your community.

What Does It Take to Truly Break a Bad Pattern?

Set Apart - Pt 2 - Break the Cycle - We’ve all seen cycles of hurt, poor decision-making, or brokenness passed down through families, organizations, or cultures. Breaking those cycles is incredibly hard work—but it’s entirely possible when we choose a different path. In this message, we are diving deep into 1 Kings 12–14 to look at a tragic turning point in ancient history. Two newly crowned kings, Rehoboam and Jeroboam, both stood at a massive crossroads. Both inherited a fragile kingdom, and both had a golden opportunity to break the destructive cycles of the past, humble themselves, and lead their people toward true healing through repentance. Instead? Both completely missed their moment. Join us as we unpack the heavy, centuries-long impact their pride had on two entire nations, and explore what their stories teach us today about our own blind spots. We’ll discuss the liberating power of personal repentance and how choosing humility can alter the trajectory of your life, your family, and your legacy for generations to come. Grab your Bible, open up to 1 Kings, and let’s dive into the Word together! 💡 Enjoyed the message?

Is Your Faith Seasonal? Learning from Solomon's Unfinished Race

Set Apart - Pt 1 - The Rise and Fall - No one in history had more advantages, wealth, or wisdom handed to them than King Solomon. For a long time, he made the absolute most of everything he was given—until he didn't. In Part 1 of this series, we dive deep into 1 Kings chapters 10 and 11 to unpack the tragic turning point in Solomon's life. His story serves as a powerful, sobering cautionary tale for all of us: following God isn't about how strong you start, but how faithfully you finish. We'll discuss why true obedience cannot just be a passing season of life, but a lifelong devotion.

What holds us back from talking about Jesus, and how do we overcome it?

Don't Just Stand There - Pt 10 - Speak Life - Colossians 4:6 - Practice: Witness The balance to the discipline of silence is the practice of witness. We make sure that all of our speech is gracious, “seasoned with salt,” so that our words lead others to Christ.
