The Fairview Alliance Church Messages - Fairview Alliance Church

What are the marks of a disciple of Jesus Christ? The apostle Paul makes it very clear when he wrote to the Roman believers, that living sacred lives in a secular world is a true call to discipleship. Nevertheless, it is a terrible mistake to think we can make a difference in someone else’s life if we haven’t allowed God to make a bit of difference in our own lives.

According to the apostle Paul, everything to do with spiritual growth, is fundamentally predicated upon the concept of “learning Christ.” Nevertheless, Paul wants you and I to understand that “learning Christ” is not the byproduct of our effort or diligence, but rather, the result of the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, which will glorify Christ in our lives and empower us to live a holy life.

While we haven’t been taken into exile in another country, like Daniel and the people of Judah, we may face similar situations within the context of our present culture.Daniel had to face a tough decision. Who am I really serving, God or Babylon? And his answer was God!

This series of messages under the title“Re-EnvisioningDiscipleship” is focusing on regaining a shared vision of what it means to be the people of God who, together ‘in Christ’, make visible in the present culture His peace/shalom in our lives individually and in the church at large.

A label only works when it accurately describes the contents of what it labels. The “Christian” label doesn't always reflect what it means to be a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. The message identifies the centrality of discipleship in the life of the Christian and the Church. How accurate is your label?

Biblically speaking to “Know God” isn’t to refer to a generic idea of His existence. On the contrary, it means to have eternal life, which implies to know the Father, the true God and His Son, whom He have sent. 

What you think of yourself and how you relate to those around you will be determined by your understanding of what it means to be created in the image of God.

This message examines the distinguishing marks of Enoch’s life and his walk with God. What would it mean for us as a church to walk with God? Also, what we may find particularly meaningful and interesting in Enoch’s life, it is that he seems to begin is godly walk after he became a father.

Have you ever found yourself looking at the sum of your effort and wondering whether it was worth the time? Whether you are worth it or not? What is my God-given purpose? Who am I? Moses had a similar experience. Looking at the way in which he started out his ministry has some hints about figuring out our own.

The epistle to the Colossians contains some of the most amazingand astonishingteachings about Christ.The apostle Paul present, without any shadow of doubt,how the eternal purpose of God for humanity and all creation is revealed and centered on the absolute supremacy of Jesus Christ.
