The cross looks like a tragedy. And Jesus warns us we will have difficulty in life. But he also overcomes the world. Join us Sunday as we explore how God can use trials and loss to bring hope and accomplish his good purposes.

Have you ever been confronted by someone who shared a bit of truth you didn’t want to hear? Jesus tells his followers in John 16:5-15 that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. See how love leads Jesus to speak challenging, important, and life-changing words to us, and through us, to the world.

Love him or hate him - those are the only two choices Jesus gives us. But do people really see Jesus that way? And how should his followers respond?

In Jesus' last words to his disciples before his crucifixion, he told them to "remain in me”, and in so doing, he promised they would bear much fruit. But what does it mean to bear fruit, and how do we remain in Him?

Jesus warns his disciples of his departure, his seeming defeat, and his delay in coming back. When is he going to come back? How long will he be gone? And what will happen to us? How will we live in this world with the evil one in it and Jesus departed? Jesus reassures his disciples that though he is gone, we are not alone and helpless; Jesus will send the Spirit to live in us, to guide and empower us, and to reassure and remind us of all we need to know.

We’re starting a series leading up to Easter looking at Jesus’ final words of instruction and encouragement to his disciples from John’s gospel. This week, we start with some of the most offensive and intolerant words Jesus ever spoke: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” We’ll see how Jesus’ exclusive claims actually give us confidence, hope, and purpose. Join us as we discover what it means to have “our home in God” from John 14:1-14.

Faith Church’s Directional Vision Statement calls for us to be “informed and winsome ambassadors of Christ to our secular culture.” To do that we must boldly stand for God’s truth but do it in a way that will attract our neighbors to the Gospel. Micaiah, an obscure prophet in the Old Testament, serves as an example for us as we learn to be “winsome to win some.”

How do you respond to a society that’s opposed to your beliefs and values? How do we live faithfully and reflect God’s character and purposes in a fragmented culture? God’s message to the exiles in Jeremiah’s day gives encouragement to us who live our lives here “as strangers and exiles on earth.”

Dr. Paul Borthwick, professor at Gordon College and author of Western Christians in Global Mission, shared a reflection from John 3:16, and challenged us in our commitment to reach the world with the gospel of Christ.

What’s the mission of the church? It’s an easy question with an easy answer – after all, Jesus told us to “go and make disciples.” Watch as Pastor Joey digs into this command of how God is leading us to live it out at Faith Church!
