    A big GOD | Pastor Bill Pinalto - 8.16.26

    First Baptist Church Salado begins a new four-week vision series exploring who we are as a church and where God is calling us to go. In week one, Pastor Bill Chastain unpacks Isaiah chapter 6 and the story of King Uzziah to show why a small view of God always leads to a small view of the church.Drawing from Isaiah's throne room vision, the holiness of God, and Uzziah's tragic fall into pride recorded in 2 Chronicles 26, this message challenges believers to move from self focused, consumer driven worship toward a life shaped by encountering a holy and sovereign God. When we truly see a big God, worship deepens, prayer grows bolder, and mission becomes natural rather than forced.This is the first sermon in the "Big God, Big Gospel, Big Community, Big Impact" series, laying the theological foundation for everything First Baptist Salado believes God is calling the church to become over the next decade.Be sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado

    Impress Them On Your Children | Dr. Robert Pendergraft

    In “Impress Them Upon Your Children,” Dr. Robert Pendergraft explores Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and God’s call to love Him with all our heart, soul, and strength—and to pass that faith on to the next generation.Teaching children about God involves more than occasional conversations or Scripture displayed in our homes. God’s Word should shape our thoughts, guide our actions, and be evident throughout everyday life. Whether we are parents, teachers, mentors, or members of the church family, each of us has a role in helping young people know God’s Word, recognize His faithfulness, and become devoted followers of Jesus.Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4–9Be sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado

    Finding Hope in the Valley of Weeping | Pastor Bill Pinalto 7.26.26

    What do you do when life leads you into the valley of grief, pain, uncertainty, or unanswered prayers? In this message from Psalm 84, we discover that the Christian's hope is not simply that suffering will one day end, but that every step through the valley brings us closer to God.As the psalmist walks through the "Valley of Baca," the valley of weeping, we're reminded that trials are not signs of God's absence but opportunities to experience His faithfulness in deeper ways. Learn why Scripture calls believers to look first to the greatness of God before focusing on the size of their circumstances, and how Jesus, our perfect King, has already gone before us through suffering to lead us safely home.If you're walking through a difficult season, this message offers biblical encouragement, lasting hope, and the assurance that God never wastes our pain. He strengthens His people, walks with them through every valley, and promises to bring every one of His children safely into His presence.Scripture: Psalm 84#Psalm84 #SummerInThePsalms #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #HopeInSuffering #FaithInTrials #JesusChrist #TrustGod #ChristianEncouragement #ChurchSermonBe sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado

    The Soul That Longs To Look On The Lord | Bill Pinalto 7.19.26

    Can we really say with the psalmist, "My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD"? Why do our hearts so often chase lesser things instead of finding lasting joy in God?In this message from Psalm 84:1-4, 10, Pastor Bill explores one of Scripture's most beautiful portraits of worship and spiritual longing. Rather than calling us to simply "try harder" to love God, Psalm 84 shows us that our hearts are transformed as we behold the beauty and glory of the Lord revealed most fully in Jesus Christ.Discover:* Why the Sons of Korah's story gives Psalm 84 surprising depth* What it means to truly delight in God instead of merely serving Him out of duty* Why lesser loves never satisfy our deepest longings* How the gospel reorders our affections through "the expulsive power of a new affection"* Why beholding Christ is the key to lasting spiritual joyIf you've ever wondered why your heart feels divided between God and the things of this world, Psalm 84 offers a hopeful answer: our deepest desires are changed not by trying harder, but by seeing Christ more clearly.Scripture: Psalm 84:1-4, 10Series: Summer in the PsalmsIf this message encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to be reminded that one day in God's presence is better than a thousand elsewhere.Be sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado

    Why Do GOOD THINGS Happen To BAD PEOPLE? | Pastor Bill Pinalto

    In Psalm 73, Asaph wrestles with a question many believers have asked: Why do good things happen to bad people? When the wicked seem to prosper and the faithful struggle, it’s easy to lose perspective. This message reminds us that our faith is shaped by what we choose to focus on. As we fix our eyes on God instead of the world, we discover that He is faithful, He is sufficient, and He is always good. If you’ve ever questioned God’s goodness in difficult seasons, this sermon offers biblical hope and an eternal perspective.

    "Your Face, Lord, Do I Seek" | Pastor Bill Pinalto

    In Week 5 of our Summer in the Psalms series, we explore Psalm 27 and David’s powerful response to fear, uncertainty, and hardship.

Discover how God’s beauty, goodness, and faithfulness provide courage when life feels overwhelming, and why seeking His face is the believer’s greatest source of peace and assurance.Join us as we learn what it means to know God personally and find lasting hope in the midst of life’s storms.#SummerInThePsalms #Psalm27 #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #KnowGod #FaithOverFear #JesusChrist #ChurchFamily #ChristianLiving #SaladoFirstBaptistBe sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado

    How God Speaks: Visually - Verbally - Viscerally | Bill Pinalto

    In Week 3 of our Summer in the Psalms series, we explore the powerful message of Psalm 19 and discover how God is constantly speaking to His people. Through the beauty of creation, the truth of Scripture, and the conviction of the human conscience, God reveals His glory, His character, and His desire to draw us into a deeper relationship with Him.This message examines David’s declaration that “the heavens declare the glory of God” and shows how every sunrise, mountain range, and star-filled sky points beyond itself to the Creator. We also discover why God’s Word is described as perfect, trustworthy, life-giving, and more valuable than gold. In a world filled with distractions, noise, and competing voices, Psalm 19 reminds us that true wisdom, joy, and spiritual renewal are found in God’s revelation.Most importantly, this sermon reveals how Psalm 19 ultimately points to Jesus Christ, the Creator, the Living Word, and our Redeemer. As God’s clearest and fullest revelation, Jesus fulfills everything David longed for and provides the forgiveness, transformation, and hope every sinner needs.Whether you’re struggling to hear God’s voice, seeking spiritual renewal, or wanting to grow deeper in your faith, this message will encourage you to listen carefully to the God who is always speaking.Topics covered include God’s revelation through creation, the authority and power of Scripture, spiritual renewal, biblical wisdom, the role of conscience, the danger of hidden sin, true freedom in Christ, and how Psalm 19 points us to Jesus as our Rock and Redeemer.Be sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado

    Summer In The Psalms - "Who Can Dwell With God?" - Dr. Robert Pendergraft

    What does a life that truly honors God look like?In this powerful message from Psalm 15, we explore David’s question: “Lord, who may dwell in Your tent? Who may live on Your holy hill?” Through this timeless psalm, we discover the characteristics of a person whose life reflects genuine faith and devotion to God.As David unfolds the answer, we examine how godly character, truthful communication, honorable conduct, biblical values, personal integrity, and faithful stewardship reveal a heart transformed by God’s grace. This message highlights the connection between faith and obedience, showing that while salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone, genuine faith produces a life that increasingly reflects His holiness.You’ll gain a deeper understanding of what biblical worship truly means, not merely as songs sung on Sunday, but as a daily response to God’s saving work. Along the way, we’ll explore how believers are called to grow in Christlikeness, speak truth, love their neighbors, keep their commitments, handle resources wisely, and live with an eternal perspective.Most importantly, this message points us to the hope found in Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice makes it possible for sinful people to approach a holy God. As we seek to become more like Him, we’re reminded of the promise found at the end of Psalm 15: those who place their trust in the Lord and walk in His ways “shall never be moved.”Join us as we discover how God’s people are called to live in response to His grace and what it means to worship Him with both our words and our lives.Be sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado

    "Kiss The Son, Who Sits In The Heavens" - Psalm 2 with Pastor Bill Pinalto

    We're kicking off a 12-week Summer in the Psalms series with an opening message on Psalm 2, a passage that contains an entire gospel worldview in just twelve verses. This sermon walks through humanity's rebellion against God's rule, the Father's sovereign response from heaven, the establishment of Christ as the anointed King, and the gracious invitation to find refuge in the Son.Discover why Psalms 1 and 2 work together as bookends to the entire Psalter, framing the blessed life around two essential realities: delighting in God's Word and taking refuge in God's Son. The message examines how our culture's idolization of personal freedom and autonomy mirrors the rebellion described in Psalm 2:1-3, and how even believers can resist God's authority when obedience becomes costly.Drawing connections to Acts 4, Revelation 6, and Genesis 11, this sermon shows how Jesus Christ fulfills the prophetic words of Psalm 2 as the rightful King who both judges rebellion and saves rebels. As Tim Keller summarized the psalm: "We have a king. We hate the king. We need the king." True freedom is not found by casting off God's reign but by taking refuge under His protective, loving rule.Whether you are a longtime believer or exploring the Christian faith for the first time, this message offers a clear picture of the gospel and a compelling invitation to kiss the Son and find blessing in His reign.Be sure to connect with us throughout the week.https://www.FBCSalado.orghttps://www.Facebook.com/FBCSaladohttps://www.Instagram.com/@FBCSaladohttps://www.TikTok.com/@FBCSalado
