First Presbyterian Church Bakersfield

For tomorrow's New Testament Challenge Devotional, we've got Pastor Scott discussing John 15. He talks about what it takes to care for a vineyard. John 15 explains how we are like grapevines while Jesus is the branch. We must abide in Jesus to produce any fruit, while God trims and prunes us to allow us to bear good fruit. What do you need to allow God to prune for you to bear the best fruit?

Good morning First Pres! Join us in 30 minutes for service starting in-person and online as we honor our veterans before Veterans day!

For today's New Testament Challenge devotional we've got Pastor Dave discussing John 10. He recounts an instance where his parents' house was broken into by a thief who ran off with several of their precious belongings. In the book of John we are reminded that although there may be thieves in this world, Jesus has come to give life and give it to the fullest! He wants us to thrive. What thieves are climbing over your walls and trying to steal some life from you?

Or forget and be early to church?

Pastor Jeff sits down to discuss what we should do to keep peace amid the chaos of the political season. While we may hold differing allegiances to political parties, our primary allegiance is to the Almighty God. We must not forget that we serve the King of Kings, and it is His priority that there is unity in the church. Let's elect to keep Him the focus and not bring division amongst our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

For today's New Testament Challenge devotional we've got Pastor Jeff discussing John 5. He contrasts the ill man who was ready to listen to God with the power brokers who believed they had too much to lose if they did. As believers we must continue to listen to God's word and act on it. How has today's scripture spoken to you?
