At First Baptist Church of Maricopa our focus is to lead people to accomplish three things in their lives and the lives of their families.
This seems simple but it is a process of discipleship which Jesus Christ gave to the church in Matthew 22:37-39 and Matthew 28:19-20.
First, someone loves God. This first step is the most basic and essential aspect of discipleship, but it does not end there. After someone enters into a love relationship with God, he or she begins to love others. The person commits to grow in community with others. After loving God and others, the natural result is to serve people. And the process continues and is ongoing for the rest of a person’s life.
Loving God A relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ is the greatest need in every person’s life. It is a matter of eternal life or eternal death, so the church must foster an atmosphere that is conducive to developing this relationship. This is done by preaching and teaching the Word of God accurately, so that people know God through His Word, understand salvation is received God’s way and that a person desires to become a disciple of God and of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Loving Others God created us to be relational people and therefore the church must love people the way God loves them; unconditionally. We must love the lost and seek to communicate the truth of the gospel with them in love and acceptance. We love others by teaching them the truth of God through His word, therefore we will take loving action when a brother or sister in Christ wanders from the path of God. We seek their restoration to God.
Serving All God has given each person a gift or gifts to use in the body of Christ. Christ knits His church together and together we serve God, other members, our local com-munity, and our world by using these gifts to glorify God through Jesus Christ.

The audio sermons page is update with the latest sermons for July. The page was updated as a whole to speed it up a bit. Having individual players for each sermon made the page VERY slow so we have separated the sermons by month. Click Here to check it out.
Please be aware that the Audio sermon page does require you to have flash player installed. Most browsers these days have it installed but if you do not see the player you will find a link on the top of the page that will lead you to getting the player.
