To kick off the new year, Richard takes us to 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 where we read about becoming a new creation in Christ and what that means for our lives. Now that we are new creations, we are charged with being ambassadors for Christ and shining his light in the dark world. Will you join […]
After the FCC Children’s Program, Richard delivered a short word to wrap up The Way in a Manger series that we have been working through for Christmas. We wrap up by looking at Herod and his reaction to the birth of Christ in the same passage in Luke that we were in last week.
This week in our series, Richard explains that Jesus is for those who seek him. In the story of Christ’s birth, the wise men, or Magi, came seeking Jesus from the East. They came seeking Him because they recognized what had taken place and its significance. The account fo the wise men is found in […]
Richard goes in character this week as a shepherd to tell us their story of the Messiah’s birth. The text for reference this week is Luke 2: 8-20. Richard illustrates that Jesus is for those who are low in status.
We start a new series as we prepare our hearts for the Christmas season. This week we take a look at Mary & Joseph and their reaction to the news of who Jesus is and the reaction/response to the message. We specifically look at Joseph’s story in Matthew 1 and Mary’s story in Luke 1.
Richard covers Jesus as we wrap up Trinity and the Freshman Orientation series. We discuss the role of Jesus as the Son of God, the implications this title has, and the roles that Jesus plays. Richard focuses on two particular roles in this sermon, Jesus as the ransom for sin and as the judge.
Richard’s message this week focuses on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has been working throughout creation and is still working today. We cover how the Spirit gives us God’s Word, shows us what is wrong, cleanses us, shows us what is right, and empowers us to do what is right.
This week Richard focuses on God the Father as we dive a little deeper into the Trinity that we reviewed last week. There are over 150 references to God as Father in the Bible so we don’t dive into all of them, but Richard pulls out the following four qualities: comforter, compassionate, provider of what […]
This week we take a look at the Trinity and the importance it plays in our faith. This is an important foundational piece of our faith. Richard walks us through the theology of the trinity and how to defend our belief in the Trinity. Richard guides us through Colossians 2, Acts 5, and John 8 […]
Last week Richard broke down what the Church is supposed to be; this week Richard takes us to John 17:20-26 to see what Jesus prayed about the Church. Jesus prayed for unity in the Church and, as a result, the Church unity should be evidence of the Lord and make His love known.
