FBCG Live with Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

In this sermon, Pastor Jenkins teaches that what we believe shapes our destiny, and many remain in bondage by accepting lies instead of God’s truth. From John 8:31–36, he explains that true disciples abide in God’s Word daily and that Jesus offers real freedom from sin. He also shares key truths for believers: accept yourself, take responsibility, trust God to break chains, and understand that both good and difficult seasons shape who we become because applying God’s truth leads to true freedom and identity in Him.

In this episode, Pastor Jenkins breaks down Matthew 24 and our responsibility as believers to share the Gospel before Christ returns.

This is a reminder that we’re not spectators, but participants in spreading the Gospel to the world. Support the show

In this episode of the B.L.E.S.S. series, Pastor Jenkins delivers a powerful narrative message from Acts 16, reflecting on the faith of Paul and Silas while imprisoned.

In this episode, we are reminded that believers have every reason to Shabach the Lord—praising Him loudly, boldly, and intentionally. This message encourages listeners to reflect on God’s goodness—how He strengthens, provides, and blesses His people—and to praise Him even when circumstances are not perfect. No matter what we face, God is always worthy of our praise. Support the show

In this episode of the B.L.E.S.S. series on reaching the lost, Pastor Jenkins focuses on the fourth step—the first “S”: Serve. After seeking God in prayer, listening with intention, and engaging in meaningful relationships, believers are called to identify a need in someone’s life and meet it through service. Pastor Jenkins reminds us that true greatness in God’s kingdom is found in serving others. Support the show

In the final message of the B.L.E.S.S. series, Pastor Jenkins explores the last step: Share a Story. After praying, listening, building relationships, and serving others, believers are called to share their personal testimony. Pastor Jenkins explains a simple three-part approach: who you were before Christ, what God did in your life, and who you are now because of Him. Your story is powerful—because no one can dispute the transformation God has worked in your life. Support the show

Continuing the B.L.E.S.S. framework for reaching the lost, this episode focuses on the third step: Engage Relationally.

We all know what it’s like to run from what God is calling us to do. Jonah’s story shows us that even when we resist, God’s mercy is still chasing us. When Jonah obeyed, everything changed—not just for him, but for an entire city. In this episode, we talk about repentance, obedience, and the God who always desires restoration. Support the show

Jonah 4 reveals a hard truth: obedience doesn’t always mean our hearts are aligned. When God shows mercy to Nineveh, Jonah’s anger exposes his struggle with grace for people he didn’t want forgiven. Through a simple object lesson, God confronts Jonah’s selective compassion and calls him—and us—back to His heart: gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and eager to restore. This episode challenges us to examine our hearts, confront selective compassion, and realign ourselves with the gracious, merciful heart of God. Support the show

This episode reminds us that Christmas is rooted in the non-negotiable truths of the Christian faith, not debates over secondary issues. Drawing from Matthew 1, the message centers on three foundational truths about Jesus: His miraculous pregnancy through the Holy Spirit, His purpose to save people from their sins and open the door of salvation to all through faith, and His person as Emmanuel—God with us. This teaching explores how what we believe about Jesus shapes how we live, handle guilt and shame, and endure life’s trials with confidence in God’s presence. Support the show

This episode explores Luke 22, where Jesus prepares His disciples for the final days before the cross and reveals a powerful truth to Peter: Satan has asked to sift them. The sifting is intentional—designed to expose what is real—but believers are not left unprotected. Jesus declares, “But I have prayed for you,” reminding us that faith can be tested without being destroyed and that restoration is always part of God’s plan. This message reflects on seasons of sifting and calls us to step forward with clarity, strength, and a renewed assignment to return to God and strengthen others. Support the show

Drawing from Luke 14 and 15, this episode highlights God’s desire for His house to be filled and calls believers to shift their focus from personal blessing to kingdom impact. Using the practical F.R.A.N.C.E.S. list—Friends, Relatives, Acquaintances, Neighbors, Co-workers, Enemies, and Strangers—the message challenges listeners to be intentional about reaching the lost and to use their God-given authority to compel people back to God.

Continuing the B.L.E.S.S. framework for reaching the lost, this episode focuses on the second step: Listen.
