Dear Faith Community Church Family, The incarnation of Jesus Christ is cause for celebration and worship! In Jesus Christ, the light of salvation has come to illuminate a dark world and to bring redemption to every person who believes in him. This Sunday we turn to Romans 3:21-31 for the third part of our Advent series, The Power of Christmas. Also, as part of our Advent…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We turn to the next passage in our Advent series, The Power of Christmas, with Romans 1:16-17: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, These next several days are filled with opportunities to turn our attention to the Lord. First, to give him thanks for the many gifts he’s given us, especially the gift of his Son. Second, to prayerfully prepare our hearts for the beginning of the Advent season. Our Advent sermon series which we begin this Sunday is called The Power of…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we’ve concluded our Path to Discipleship series, we wanted to take a week before Advent starts to reflect on the theme of thanksgiving. This Sunday, I will be preaching from Psalm 111 on the idea that thanksgiving continues the dance of relationships. Whenever you think about thanking someone or preparing a gift for them, how does your…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We welcome one of our missionaries, Sean Martin with 3 Timothy, to preach for us this Sunday. He will revisit Mark 9:14-29, the famous passage where the father of a boy cries to Jesus, “I believe; help my unbelief!” Over the recent weeks with our sermons’ emphasis on spiritual renewal, we have stirred up our hearts to hunger…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, This week’s sermon title is “The Price of Pride” based on the passage Daniel 4:1-37. On our spiritual journey of discipleship, we can sometimes forget that Jesus must be at the center of our thoughts and actions. We can’t look at the blessings God has given us and admire them as if we earned them or deserved…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We continue our theme of spiritual renewal as we turn to Zechariah 8:20-22. Zechariah can be a confusing book full of symbols and visions that seem strange at best and confounding at worst. But take heart! The point of prophecies is always to declare to us the will of God for His people, and in this passage, the Lord wishes to simply assure us…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Have you kept in mind this week Paul’s words from Romans 8:32? Here they are once again: “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” This is a divine promise that holds for eternity. It is the very foundation for the Christian life. Our God’s love for his peoples is…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Fall is officially in the air! Though the trees will soon begin their winter preparations, they long for their renewed vigor in the spring. We, too, long for the day when the Lord will renew all things, making a new heaven and a new earth where no hint of death or sin will be felt anymore. If you haven’t already, re-read Revelation 21 to…
