The Joy of Giving

Father Knows Best

In this special Father’s Day episode of Faith Answers, Pastor Gary Roy honors earthly dads while pointing us to our perfect Heavenly Father. Preaching from the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, he unpacks God’s omniscience (all-knowing wisdom), omnipresence, and omnipotence (all-powerful provision and protection). Pastor Gary shares heartfelt stories of fatherhood, growing up without an earthly dad, and discovering the Father in heaven through salvation in Jesus Christ. This encouraging message reminds us that true sonship comes only through the new birth, that God knows what’s best even when we don’t, and that we can trust Him completely with every need. Includes a clear gospel invitation and a powerful call to live as children of the King. Perfect for Father’s Day or any day you need to be reminded of God’s fatherly love and care. #FaithAnswers #FathersDay #HeavenlyFather #LordsPrayer #PastorGaryRoy #OurFather #ColonialOaksBaptistChurch #GodsWisdom #ChristianLiving #NewBirth #Salvation #BibleTeaching #JesusIsLord #OneNationUnderGod See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Professions of Faith

In this powerful episode of Faith Answers, Pastor Gary Roy unpacks the pivotal question Jesus asked His disciples in Mark 8: “Who do you say that I am?” Drawing from the dramatic setting of Caesarea Philippi — a place of pagan worship and the “gates of hell” — Pastor Gary highlights Peter’s bold confession: “You are the Christ.” He challenges listeners to move beyond mere church membership or empty words to a genuine heart belief, surrendered will, and life-changing faith in Jesus. Filled with personal stories from military service, ministry calling, and real-life illustrations, this message emphasizes that true Christianity is a possession of faith, not just a profession. Pastor Gary delivers a clear gospel invitation and reminds us that only through Christ can we have eternal life. #FaithAnswers #WhoDoYouSayIAm #ProfessionsOfFaith #PastorGaryRoy #PetersConfession #Mark8 #TrueFaith #BornAgain #ColonialOaksBaptistChurch #JesusIsTheChrist #SurrenderToChrist #Gospel #ChristianLiving #OneNationUnderGod See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
