Page: Feed: --- ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from August 23: Management Lessons](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-august-23-management-lessons/) _2026-08-25 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ I have found Luke 16:1-15 to be a puzzling passage. So, a few years ago I decided to look into it and clarify in my understanding of what Jesus was saying. As I looked for knowledge from those who have more than I do, I can't say I was surprised to discover differences of opinion. I have no doubt that my own view may become clearer as I continue to study His words, but meanwhile I will share with… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2026-08-23-Management-Lessons.mp3) ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from August 16: Think About That](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-august-16-think-about-that/) _2026-08-18 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ In a culture obsessed with true crime, scandal, and the sensational, our minds are constantly bombarded with the dark, twisted, and destructive. We're fascinated by evil, and it shows. Just have a look at any entertainment platform you choose, excepting those that cater to audiences who would prefer not to see it. But what should occupy the mind of a Christian? In this message from Philippians… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2026-08-16-Think-About-That.mp3) ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from August 9: Godlike](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-august-9-godlike/) _2026-08-10 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ What does it mean to be created in the image of God?

When we ask for healing, for provision, for justice, and the answer appears to be silence, it is easy to grow weary and stop asking altogether. But Jesus tells us in Luke 18 that this is exactly when we must not lose heart. In this message, we look at the parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge. Jesus contrasts a… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2026-08-02-Persistent-Prayer.mp3) ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from July 26: Oily Faith](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-july-26-oily-faith/) _2026-07-30 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ Supernatural healing can be a touchy subject. Some don't believe God does it anymore. Others think that anyone who is sick must have either unconfessed sin or a lack of faith. The truth is at neither extreme. This week we will have another look at one of those passages that seems to indicate a clear path to healing. We need some context here, so we will consider James 5:13-20.

In these last few verses, he offers a few more words of wisdom, then finishes with an expression of worship that also summarizes much of what he has written. We will cover Romans 16:17-27 except for verses 21-24, which we went through last week as we explored all the people whom Paul mentioned in his lengthy… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-19-Final-Words-of-Wisdom.mp3) ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from July 12: Who Are These People and Why Do We Care?](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-july-12-who-are-these-people-and-why-do-we-care/) _2026-07-14 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ In the last episode, we considered how seemingly trivial details in a letter written over two thousand years ago still have something to teach us. We found clues that help us fit the letter into its historical context, saw how Paul put into practice the things he taught, and saw by connecting Paul's letter to the events in Acts how God's plans can replace our own to accomplish His higher purposes.… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-12-Who-Are-These-People-And-Why-Do-We-Care.mp3) ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from July 5: Lessons From Little Things](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-july-5-lessons-from-little-things/) _2026-07-07 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ In this age of technology, we aren't writing many actual letters. Some of us even find them to be a nuisance. I have often joked that I plan to put a paper shredder in place of my mail box and save myself a step. But a letter can be a thing of great value. Much of what we know of our nation's history comes from the letters written by the people who made that history. They reveal the personality… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-05-Lessons-From-Little-Things.mp3) ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from June 28: Jesus for All](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-june-28-jesus-for-all/) _2026-06-30 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ Drawing from Romans 15:7-13, Pastor Larry unpacks Paul’s powerful call: “Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.” Through this passage, we see Christ as the servant who fulfilled God’s promises to Israel and extended mercy to the Gentiles, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies that all nations would praise the Lord and find hope in Him. You’ll discover:… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-06-28-Jesus-for-All.mp3) ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from June 21: With One Voice](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-june-21-with-one-voice/) _2026-06-23 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ One survey has identified as many as 50,000 distinct Christian groups who in some way distinguish themselves from others. This number is disheartening to those who feel that we should all be one. That is after all what Jesus Himself prayed (John 17:11.) That particular study named even small congregations of people, and accepted their self-identification as Christian, so the number of groups with… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-06-21-With-One-Voice.mp3) ## [Sync Bookmarks Everywhere (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/G0vZ2rzVguru) _2026-06-23 · **Sponsored**_ Two-way sync keeps folders and toolbar intact across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. ## [Message by Larry Thacker Jr from June 14: The Responsibility of Freedom](https://bbtemple.org/podcast/message-by-larry-thacker-jr-from-june-14-the-responsibility-of-freedom/) _2026-06-18 · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple · Bartimaeus Baptist Temple_ We highly value our freedom in the United States, but what does freedom mean? Is it absolute? That would be chaos. With freedom comes responsibility. It is as true in our public life as it is in our personal lives. As Christians, we often speak of our freedom in Christ. We are not in bondage to sin. We are not in bondage to a set of rules that could never save us. But does that mean we can do as… [Listen](https://bbtemple.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-06-14-The-responsibility-of-Freedom.mp3)
