Sermons - Faith Community Church

Last Sunday, March 20, Rose Males spoke on Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on what is traditionally called, "Palm Sunday". As we witness the events of that day we learn that Jesus presents Himself as King but not the King we expect.

Last Sunday, March 13, we reflected on Paul's promise that a Christian community is a richly endowed and gifted community. But what makes the gifting of a Christian community unique? How are we to understand the spiritual gifts God gives us? Are gifts circumstantial or continual? Natural or supernatural? Are some more important than others? So many questions but Paul is adamant that he does not want us to be uninformed about spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12.1). When we can a basic understanding than we can beware of the pitfalls that will undermine the variety, unity, and vitality that God's gifts offer us personally and as a community.

Last Sunday, March 6: True worship that is pleasing to God radiates throughout a person's entire life (A W Tozer). Worship is more, much more, than showing up for a service on Sundays. Worship will influence and shape every aspect of our lives -- especially our understanding or worth, significance, success. True worship will release us to to be passionate advocates for justice, mercy, and compassion on behalf of the poor, the dispossessed, and the overlooked. Join us as we reflect on worship!

Last Sunday, February 28: "Winston Churchill observed: We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." Jesus has a lot to say about living generously. In the story of the 2 Rich Men and Lazarus (Luke 16.19-31) we eavesdrop in on a fictional conversation between 2 rich men -- an unknown rich man and Abraham, the founding father of the Jewish people. This is a springboard from which we leap to discuss living generously. NOTE 2 THINGS: First, we had some recording issues this week so the first third of the message is missing. Two, we use LIVE events to post our notes, Scripture reading(s), and additional resources that you might find helpful. Click here for this week's LIVE event.

Last Sunday, February 21: The Bible is the most outrageous book ever written and it is essential to the vitality of any Christian community. This week we reflect on the example of Ezra so that we might be encouraged to allow Scriptures to engage us amidst their wisdom, insight, revelation, ambiguity, mystery, and outrageousness.
