OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
“OUR HEAVENLY FATHER”
MATTHEW 6:1-15INTRO: FATHER’S DAY is a very special time for those of us who have had GODLY FATHERS in our
lives. It is a time for us to thank and praise God for giving us fathers who respect and serve Him as
well to challenge us all as fathers to maintain the type of fatherhood that is GOD HONORING. I have
been preaching FATHER’S DAY sermons for over 50 years always exhorting us as fathers to be the
dads God wants us to be. But today the Lord has led me in a different direction in that we are going
to take a look at OUR HEAVENLY FATHER as He is revealed in what we call THE LORD’S PRAYER in
Matthew 6:1-15.Sermon preached on 6/15/25 AM by Pastor Gary Dull

INTRO: This is MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND in America when millions of people will be gathering for picnics, parades,
and various festivities and yet in doing so, many will not take into consideration the depth of the significance of the
holiday we are celebrating. MEMORIAL DAY is one of several PATRIOTIC HOLIDAYS for us in America when focus on
the BLESSINGS OF GOD IN AMERICA AND HOW HE USED MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO BRING OUR NATION
TOGETHER. This weekend in particular, we will focus on those in the ARMED FORCES who gave their lives for our
freedoms (THE HISTORY OF MEMORIAL DAY). My title for today’s message is “REMEMBERING THE FAITHFUL” in
which we will focus, not just on those who gave their lives for the freedoms of our nation, but on others who gave
their lives for the spiritual freedom of many, including our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. Our scriptural text is
John 15:13 that says, “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS
FRIENDS.”Sermon preached on 5/25/25 AM by Pastor Gary Dull

MISSIONS: THE MESSAGE OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST
“MISSIONS: THE MESSAGE OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST”
MATTHEW 28:1-20INTRO: April is MISSIONS MONTH FOR US here at FBC and it is also the month in which EASTER FALLS
this year which is very appropriate. I say that because the RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE
VERY HEART OF THE MESSAGE OF MISSIONS. Because Jesus Christ has risen from the dead and is alive
forevermore, all who trust Him as their personal SAVIOR will experience the forgiveness of sins and
everlasting life with HIM in Heaven, and as Christians we have the GREAT HONOR AND PRIVILEGE to
proclaim the reality of CHRIST’S RESURRECTION to the WHOLE WORLD. Today as we are focusing on the
RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD, let us also look at the MISSIONAL ASPECT OF
THAT REALITY and recognize that the very center thrust of missions is that JESUS CHRIST IS NO LONGER
IN THE GRAVE, BUT IS ALIVE AND OFFERS NEW AND ETERNAL LIFE TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIS
NAME.Sermon preached on 4/20/25 AM by Pastor Gary Dull

MISSIONS – THE MINISTRY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH
“MISSIONS – THE MINISTRY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH”
ACTS 1:1-14INTRO: Most people who have been brought up in a BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH are familiar with the
word “MISSIONS.” And yet, if you were to ask most of those same people to define MISSIONS or to
state the EFFECTUAL PART MISSIONS plays in the ministry of the local church, many would have a
hard time giving the biblical answers. So, what about you? WHAT DOES THE WORD “MISSIONS”
MEAN and WHAT EFFECTUAL PART DOES “MISSIONS” PLAY IN THE MINISTRY OF THE LOCAL
CHURCH? By reading through the Book of Acts and the Epistles of the New Testament we learn that
MISSIONS IS THE CENTRAL CORE OF THE LOCAL CHURCH AND SHOULD BE ITS PRIMARY MINISTRY
THAT IS PRAYERFULLY AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED BY EVERY CHILD OF GOD. I am certain that
many of you understand what I have just said, but it is also possible that some of you do not have a
biblical concept of missions. (I do not say that critically). So today for a few minutes we are going to
focus on “MISSIONS – THE MINISTRY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH.”Sermon preached on 4/13/25 AM by Pastor Gary Dull
