TFRC Sermons

John 1:43-51

Through Jesus’ invitation to Phillip to follow him, we are shown how Christ first seeks us out. In Nathaniel we also see how God sees us before we are even aware of what's happening and the power of inviting others to meet Jesus.

John 1:35-42

Jesus is worth sharing, but we let so many barriers get in the way of us doing that. How can we break through?

Lamentations 3:21-23

Reflecting God’s faithfulness to TFRC over the last 50 years with an eye on the future.

Psalm 96:1-4

Even if the way we worship changes, who and why we worship does not.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

God has blessed TFRC with lots of children to impress the faith upon. But the best news is that God sees ALL of us as HIS children, always pouring into us no matter our age.

Acts 1:7-8

God has led us to many great mission partnerships that have allowed us to make an impact for the kingdom. As we look forward, we commit to continuing following His leading both locally, regionally and to the ends of the earth.

Genesis 1:1-9 and Hebrews 4:12

Celebrating the many great opportunities God has given TFRC to study His Word, and how it has been brought to life.

Exodus 13:17-22

Before they cross the Red Sea, the Israelites could have taken them on the road through the Philistine territory. But rather than taking that shorter route, God had a plan requiring them to take a much longer one. As we begin our celebration of TFRC's 50th anniversary, Pastors Chuck and Brett look at how God has brought us through our own extended journey to land where we are today. What was true for the Israelites, and what has been true for TFRC is also true for each of us - many times God leads us to a “longer route”. However, God’s hand is at work in all the details of our lives - He is accomplishing His purposes through us.

Matthew 23:1-12

As Christians, it can be easy for us to tell others how they should live their lives - but it is important from time to time to examine our own lives. Are we walking out the faith we claim to have or are we just trying to make ourselves look righteous? Jesus’s warning against hypocrisy should cause us to look at our own lives to see if we live a life where we practice what we preach. Jesus gives us an opportunity to look in the mirror to see if we are living out our faith with humility or self-righteousness.

Acts 28:1-9

While Luke was not recorded preaching or evangelizing, his faithful account of what Paul did made an enormous difference. Luke kept track of what God had done through the ministry of Paul and made sure others knew about it. Luke significantly increased Paul’s impact by simply sharing what God had done through him. Likewise, we are to keep an account of what God has done and be ready to share it with others.
