For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6
Wonderful

There are over 100 names or titles given to the Savior in the Bible. This verse contains five of the most amazing titles as it prophesies of the coming of Jesus.

The English language is a funny thing. Sometimes it means what it actually says. This word "wonderful," that is used so flippantly today, actually means "full of wonder!" Everything about Jesus is an inexplicable miracle. When we consider this, all we can do is glory in His wonder!

His birth was a wonder. Jesus is the eternal King and yet He came to the earth as a little babe, born miraculously of a virgin. How? It is a glorious mystery.

He was a wonder for those who witnessed His baptism by John in the River Jordan. God spoke from heaven and declared who Jesus was and His Fatherly pleasure in Him. Cool!

The life and ministry of Jesus was full of these wondrous miracles. He healed the sick. He caused the lame to walk. He made the blind to see. He caused the deaf to hear. He drove demons out of those vexed with spirits. He even raised the dead! Amazing!

He was wondrously silent at His trial before Pilate. He could have called on more than 70,000 angels to deliver Himself. Yet, He chose to remain silent as the sentence due to you and me was pronounced against Him. Wow!

The miracle of His resurrection is our only hope of glory. He burst forth from the tomb and bruised the head of Satan! He bruised the head of sin. He bruised the head of death and the grave. Hallelujah!

He is coming again and every eye will see Him at the same time (Revelation 1:7). He has shown awesome and wonderful power before. But on that day, all creation will see Him in His full glory and splendor. And what shall we say that day?

Jesus is wonderful!

Welcome

Brentwood Hills Primitive Baptist Church is a community of believers working together to transform our lives to the image of Jesus Christ. We believe it is our duty and privilege to live the gospel of the doctrines of grace in such a way as to edify the families within our church and other children of God in our community. Through regular worship based on strong Biblical principles, fellowship, admonishment, and outreach, we glory in the grace of the sovereign God working in our lives thereby showing the Spirit of God in the world.

Brentwood Hills was organized in 1906 in Fort Worth, Texas as Laodicea Primitive Baptist Church. You can find much of the history of the church, as well as other churches here: Primitive Baptist History Database

We identify ourselves as an old-line Primitive Baptist church. If you read our Articles of Faith, you’ll see that we hold to such doctrines as the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible. We recognize the King James Version (KJV) as the only English translation worthy of being called the Bible. We believe in salvation solely by the grace of a sovereign God. We believe that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, came to the earth to do the will of His Father, which was to deliver from the sentence of death all those the Father gave Him before the world began. We believe that Jesus fully satisfied the Father by atoning for all the sins of all His people. In time, we believe the Holy Spirit comes to each person that belongs to Jesus and regenerates them. Then (and only then) can anyone have faith, which is a fruit of the Spirit, by which you are able to believe the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether or not you ever hear the gospel, or believe it if you did hear it, or obey it if you did believe it, rest assured that Jesus will remain forever faithful to you because, if He died for you, He will never deny that you belong to Him.

We believe that everyone for whom Christ died will without fail be raised again from the dead to a glorified life. Even if we are alive when He returns to raise the dead, we shall be changed to a glorified life. All the Redeemed will meet the Lord in the air. Then He will take us to Heaven and there we shall forever be with the Lord. The wicked will be raised at the same time as the righteous, but the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment along with Satan and his angels. Until that glorious day when Christ returns to raise the dead, He has provided a place for His people to find rest for their souls. This place is the Church. Jesus Christ set-up His church on this earth before His death on the Cross. The church is there for those of His people who have come to believe that God saved them by His Son, Jesus Christ. To believe that Christ “paid it all” gives believers the strongest motivation to serve Him. Once enlightened to this glorious truth, then the child of God should feel an obligation to become and remain an active member of the His church. To serve the Lord in His church makes for one of the great blessings to experience this side of Heaven. It fulfills you to serve in His church and it gives your life purpose and meaning.
