Tailored 2 Fit Chic Love

What is Chic Love? Being an engaged part of a God designed local Body. Why is it important? It’s in being in my place that I find the why of my life and see the purpose of God realized – that the world will know that God sent Jesus and we’re as loved by God as Jesus is! In this message I hope to challenge you to engage with purpose and on purpose in your place in with His Body here at FBC.…

Tailored 2 Fit: New Threads

One of the most difficult truths to read in is that we’re a new creation in Christ. As we begin this new series we start there in this first of three talks. But this phrase, “in Christ,” holds several beautiful truths to encourage our hearts. That one belongs to Christ means that one lives in the sphere of Christ’s power, that one is united with Christ and now that one is part of the body of Christ, the believing community. I hope you’ll join us…

FACES Encouraged not Egged

Egg on you face or being egged both produce undesirable sentiments that we’d all like to avoid. The the idea that we could be believing God for something that could leave us looking embarrassed or foolish often plagues us and hinders our obedience trust. For someone to persist with some sort of an argument or some sort of abuse after their initial attack wears us out and can cause us to wonder if God has abandoned us. But Hebrews 6:18 (NLT) says…

FACES Grace Cares For Everyone

We continue our talks on the FACE of Grace (Forgive Accept Care Encourage Strength) today its’ although Grace cares for everyone God has a special care designed for His sons and daughters. Some would say that He cares “much more” for those who have received His love through Jesus Christ. Is it an elite class or is it just simply dependent on one’s faith? And if its so, what would be the purpose of a group getting more care tan any other? Jesus did pray differently…

FACES: grace accepts them all

In part two we hear jokingly about “a face only a mother could love” or I’ve heard that a baby is “so ugly their cute”. The truth is that Grace Accepts Them All! This week’s talk is about how God’s Grace is inclusive, freely extended to everyone, but not at the cost of His character. Inclusion for God the Father meant Calvary for Jesus and a cross for each of us!

FACES of Grace in Forgiveness

What does “FACES” stand for? It’s an acronym. Forgive, Accept, Care, Encourage, Strengthen. Our study over the next few weeks will be looking at each word’s importance to the believer, to us a gathered group of insiders and for those not yet gathered in gospel. What is forgiveness? What is the cost of forgiveness and who pays for it? Who can access it? What happens if we don’t share it?

#ForTheMonValley – Critics

We all struggle with being critical and being criticized. Yet there can be good from it. Proverbs‬ ‭25:12‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) reminds us that  “To one who listens, valid criticism is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.” It’s beautiful when God adds to us through another’s care. Even though there is good criticism, there is also that which has as it’s design to confuse, entrap or entangle us. This week Mark shares with us that it’s about laying down your life…

You Lead, I’ll Follow – Part 2 – Life in Your Garden

What’s the one thing that every gardener wants from their garden? GROWTH! A lot of energy gets spent in gardening but there are some things that are out of the control of the gardener, weather, insects, blights, pollution, etc. And those ideas are often true about our marriage as well. The goal of a Christian marriage should be that our spouse grows in Jesus. That’s the direction of this message…

Covered: Part 3 Protected by God from God

This is our final message in this series. As one theologian said, “has not merely paid the penalty” for our sins but “also he has positively merited for us eternal life. . . merited for [us] the reward by his perfect obedience to God’s law,” so we can run to our Father without fear. In Christ, we have the most intimate and unbreakable relationship possible with the God of the universe. We are His legitimate children!”
