Thus Far | Pastor Josh | FSBC Online

We are standing on a bridge. As we close out 2025 and look toward the "deep waters" of Romans in 2026, we stop to look back at a year of the UNHEARD-OF.

In this special year-end message, Pastor Josh looks at the "Ebenezer" moment in 1 Samuel 7:12. An "Ebenezer" is a "Stone of Help"—a physical marker of a spiritual reality. At First Southern, 2025 has been a year of literal markers:

If God has been faithful "Thus Far," we can trust Him for the "Further." This message bridges our 2025 season of miracles with our 2026 mission to live as stewards of His glory and dive deep into the sovereignty of God in Romans 9.

In this message, we explore:

The Backward Look: Why we must raise an "Ebenezer" for the healings and breakthroughs of 2025.

The Outward Look: How our local miracles fuel our global mission through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

The Forward Look: Anchoring our future in Romans 11:36—"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things."
