Beginning this Sunday morning, February 6, FBC Pensacola will begin live streaming of our mid-morning worship service on the internet. If you are unable to attend services or if you have friends or relatives out of town who would like to tune in, go to our web site at http://www.fbcp.org/ and click on the link for live streaming at 10:45 on Sunday mornings.
In addition to the live stream telecast, a replay of the worship service will be available beginning shortly after the service is over. You can access the replay anytime, 24 hours a day for a few weeks following each service.
For several years First Baptist has provided a live telecast on local television as a ministry to our community. The new live stream option means that our worship services can now be seen around the world. Missionaries in other countries, church members who are traveling internationally, and military personnel around the globe can now participate in worship at FBC via the internet.
Neither television nor internet can replace the fellowship, the inspiration, and the sense of community experienced when we participate in worship with our church family on campus. These telecasts are not meant to replace the on-campus experience, but to provide an alternate venue to stay connected when we are traveling or when health precludes our attendance in worship.
In the beginning, we will stream the mid-morning service, which will be broadcast on the internet by using our current television feed. In the future, we have the potential to add other worship services, concerts, and special events to the “live streaming” menu.
This Sunday our sermon and Bible study focuses on salvation. I’ll be talking about the importance of “Getting Right with God.” We will also be celebrating baptism at the beginning of the mid-morning service. To prepare for Sunday I encourage you to read Exodus 6: 2-8 and Romans 10:9-10, 13.
