Sermons by Pastor Toby Locke (Page 34)

I joined the staff as lead pastor at First Baptist in March 2017 after nine years of ministry in Racine, Wisconsin as an associate pastor. I grew up as the child of missionaries in South America, where I got to live among and learn from the beautiful people of Bolivia and Chile. After high school I attended Baptist Bible College of PA (now Clarks Summit University) and graduated at long last in 1998 with a Pastoral Ministries degree. After completing a two-year short term missionary assignment in Chile, I returned to Baptist Bible Seminary for my Master of Divinity, which God graciously enabled me to complete in 2007. From there it was off to Rochester, New York for a year-long internship at North Baptist Church (now Northridge Church) before jumping into full-time vocational ministry at Fellowship Baptist Church in Racine in the fall of 2007.

about Generous Giving

Paul was thrilled to see the generosity in his friends at Philippi because their generous gifts strengthened his relationship with them and produced eternal results. Even more than that, Paul was excited because he understood that their gifts to him were actually expressions of worship to God that proved how much they trusted God to…

The Contentment Paradox

Sermon Summary: It may sound like a cliché, but Paul was convinced that Jesus was literally all that he needed. His only “need” was to honor Jesus with his body, no matter what circumstance he found himself in, and he always found Jesus empowering him to do exactly that. Because of this he always claimed…
