Listen to the Future You

This is Us: A Christ-Centered Family We believe the church isn’t a building—it’s people. And when each of those people knows who they are and what they believe, they can achieve incredible things together. In our new series, This is Us, let’s learn more about who we are and how we can work together to change the world.

Generosity Through Giving

We want to thank those of you who give faithfully and systematically to our church. We hope you know how important your giving is to what God is doing at FBC Seminole, in our community, and across the planet through the different ministries we are able to partner with through your financial generosity. We've fixed plumbing, remodeled kitchens, replaced shingles, celebrated our teachers, and made  a difference in a host of other opportunities. Your generosity matters. We offer Financial Peace University on a consistent basis for those who need financial help.  It's a financial management system that allows multitudes to eliminate debt and live in freedom. Text the amount you want to give to 84321.

Listen to the Future YOU: Step into your God-given future by listening to the purpose God is shaping you to become.

You will never become accidentally awesome.

James Clear in his work, Atomic Habits, says "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but small improvements will bring meaningful change. And if change is meaningful, it is big."
Hebrews 11:32-40 NIV

And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophetswho through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lionsquenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection.Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreatedthe world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promisedsince God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

We live in an uphill world, but we expect a downhill life.

The problem is we have an uphill life and downhill habits.

Your one good decision away from change and a new direction.
