FCC Young Adults Sermons

When someone wrongs us, our gut tells us to make things right by getting even. Jesus tells us differently - to turn the other cheek. But does that mean that all Christians are to be pushovers and let things happen to them? Or is there a time and place to "get back" at the ones who harmed us?

Scripture: Matthew 5:38-42; Matthew 5:17-18; Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21

When you look at the world, it can be quite messy. Lives filled with loss due to humanity’s destructive nature. But if God has called us to have life, why do we do the things that bring us death? God wants us to submit to the Spirit to find life and peace for ourselves and to others. If we know this to be true, don’t settle for anything less.

Scripture: Genesis 1:1-3, Romans 8:5-8, Romans 8:10-11

The story of the rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16 illustrates to us that we don't dictate equality, but the ethos of what God's kingdom is one of authority and structure. Samuel a direct descendant of Korah helped lead David is his family was an integral part of David's tabernacle leadership and wrote 11 Psalms, including Psalm 47. Psalm 47 declares that God is King. And the beautiful part is that God adopts us to be His sons and daughters.

Scripture: Psalm 47, Numbers 16

Christians are caught up in a long-standing conflict between The Lord and Satan. Where the Lord wants life, Satan wants death. Where the Lord wants hope, Satan wants despair. This week we unpack the tactics that our enemy uses to discourage and derail God's people by looking at the story of David and Bathsheba...and how Satan turned a "Man after God's heart" into an adulterer, hypocrite, and murderer. If we want to fight against our enemy, we need to know the tactics that he uses!

Scripture: 2 Samuel 11

We may look at our lives and think of it to be of little importance or purpose. But God is writing His story and wants to include ours in it as well. His faithfulness to us is true from the beginning of time all the way to now. It’s up to us to choose what we entrust God with and how far we are willing to trust Him in His faithfulness.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 7, Jeremiah 31:31-34

David becomes king of Israel , takes over Jerusalem, and chases away the Philistines

Scripture: 2 Samuel 5
