The Fairview Alliance Church Messages - Fairview Alliance Church

Parents have a relatively short time to influence their children. In God’s plan the family is designed to be the primary context for spiritual training and preparation for life. However, though we may impart different skills into our children, none of them should be more important than leading our children to know and experience God’s redeeming love and grace.

The apostle Paul, while addressing the Christian believers in Corinth, is reflecting on how to celebrate and partake the Communion. He makes it clear that it is possible to approach the Lord's Table in an "unworthy manner." What does this mean? How can we prepare ourselves to partake of the Lord's Supper?

Distractions abound in our technological age. There is always the next thing to worry about. How do you find your calm amidst the storm? In Philippians 4:4-9 God promises us an unexplainable peace that will guard our hearts and our minds. It is a way in which God wants to direct our lives into ever increasing synchronization with His will. Will you place yourself in your Father’s hands?

We all want to live a happy and fulfilling life while on earth. We also, wish to die peacefully, with the assurance of enjoying the everlasting happiness of God forever in Heaven. However, to get there, we should ask ourselves this important question: “What is my ultimate destination in life?”

The Lord’s Supper is one of the two ordinances of the Christian Church. Yet, for many Christians to remember the death and resurrection of Jesus until He comes is reduced to an ambiguous mental activity. In reality, Jesus asked us to remember Him more than what He did for us. His words are clear, “this do in remembrance of me”.

Due to the difficult experiences he had in life,the paralytic man at the pool of Bethesdagot stuck in a “victim mentality”. Hebeganto think that he wasnot good enoughand he ended up losing hope, believing that he couldn't change his condition of misery and desperation. But when Jesus came on his way everything changed!

True purpose can only be found when we stop resisting to the full lordship of Jesus Christ and to His saving grace. Paul exhorts the Ephesians to diligently live the new life in Christ. This is a daily, intentional decision and it means to walk away from the empty ways of those who don't know God. 

How do you determine the significance of your life? Some people value their career more than their mission. According to this measurement, the more money you make, the more important you are. Yet, Jesus introduced a different measure that still challenges our very materialistic society, the value of our soul. 

We tend to be a very “forgetful” people, yet the Word of God places so much emphasis on “remembering”. Therefore, it is a good thing to remember what God has done for us. it’s helpful to keep a record of them as we approach a new year, because by remembering them, we can understand how God is still at work in our lives today. 

The Apostle John summarizes the message that God revealed to us through Jesus with 3 words: “God is light.” What does that mean, in a practical way, for those who are followers of Christ?
