Fairlawn Church Of the Nazarene Podcast

Ever had that sinking feeling when you've lost something - the jolt of fear that runs down your spine and the sinking feeling that settles in your stomach? Come hear Pastor Nicole tell the story of when Mary and Joseph lost Jesus in Luke Chapter 2 and how this story is important for us today. Join us for Community Groups Sunday at 9:15 am and then we gather for worship at 10:30 am. We'll save you a seat!

Celebrate Christmas with us this Sunday! The Mini Crescendos will be singing in the service, we will light the advent candles, and sing a hymn by candlelight at the end of the service. And you will not want to miss the first few minutes of service. You need to be in your seat early! Oh, did I mention some fat, jolly guy in a red suit will visit our children's ministry? Invite someone to join you as we celebrate Christmas at Fairlawn this Sunday! Worship begins at 10:30 am and Community Groups meet at 9:15 am.

Often in life, it seems we are either in a storm, coming out of a storm, or preparing for another storm on the horizon. This Sunday we continue our God With Us advent sermon series as we talk about how God is with us in the STORMS. We'll also light the third candle of advent, the candle of Joy. I hope you'll bring someone along to worship with you and experience the presence of God with us. Community Groups meet at 9:15 am and we will gather for worship at 10:30 am. We'll save you a seat!

Christmas is a joyful time for the most part. But sometimes when you are facing a hardship, going through a struggle, dealing with pain, all of the parties and celebrations can cause some of us to feel very alone, isolated, and desperate. The angel told Joseph that when Mary's baby was born, they should call him Emmanuel which means "God with us." How is God with us when we feel like we are living in the middle of a lonely and harsh wilderness? I hope you'll bring someone along to worship with you Sunday to experience the power and presence of God this Christmas season, to experience the God with us. Community Groups meet at 9:15 am and we will gather for worship at 10:30 am. I look forward to seeing you there!

I don't know about you but I really love this coming season in the church. While all the things that come with the Christmas season in our culture can make you ragged and on edge, the Advent season in the church is life giving. For the next four Sundays, we'll light an advent candle each week, sing songs about Christ's birth, and be reminded over and over again that God is with us. I hope you'll bring someone along to worship with you the next four weeks and experience the power and presence of God this Christmas season. There are NO Community Groups this week due to the holiday weekend. We will gather for worship at 10:30 am. I look forward to seeing you there!

It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving! What do you have to be thankful for? Join us this weekend as we worship together. Come with a grateful heart and worship with us Sunday! Community Groups meet at 9:15 am and we gather for worship at 10:30 am. Invite someone to join you!

We're finishing our sermon series called DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH. We've been looking at how God still does miracles. This week we'll be talking about the miraculous ways that God heals. We'll conclude our services by anointing those who want to be prayed over for healing. We'll also be dedicating Mia Cooper and have a special offertory by Matt Henry. I hope you'll join us and bring a friend! Community Groups meet at 9:15 am and we gather for worship at 10:30 am.

Sunday is Faith Promise Sunday. What is Faith Promise? FAITH PROMISE is one of the most meaningful methods for supporting missions. It is not a pledge. It is not a part of tithing. It IS a love gift to God to help minister in three important ways in over 160 world areas.

Compassion brings restoration: Faith Promise provides a full range of compassionate ministries that address systemic problems, from natural disaster relief to child development.

Evangelism shares the Gospel. Faith Promise prayerfully sends missionaries into new territories where they participate in the movement of the Holy Spirit to bring salvation and restoration.

Education builds sustainability. Faith Promise helps facilitate training, teaching, and resourcing to support our local Nazarene churches around the globe.

Be praying about what God would have you commit this year above your tithes and offerings. Community Groups meet at 9:15 am and we gather for worship at 10:30 am. Invite someone to experience God's presence with us this Sunday as we worship!

Ever had a need that went unmet? God always provides for his children, though often it is not in the way we expect or hope. The challenge is for us to see his provision and care, even when it is different than we expect. We're in a series called DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH. We'll be talking about the miraculous ways that God works to provide for us. Community Groups meet at 9:15 am and we gather for worship at 10:30 am. Invite someone to experience God's presence with us this Sunday as we worship!

Have you ever made a deal with God? "Father, if you'll get me out of this jam and rescue me, I promise I'll go to church every Sunday!" Or something like that. Those kinds of prayers fail to recognize God as our great protector. We're in a series called DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH. We'll be talking about opening up to the miraculous ways that God works in our lives. Community Groups meet at 9:15 am and we gather for worship at 10:30 am. Invite someone to experience God's presence with us this Sunday as we worship!
