Tailored 2 Fit Suitable
Today’s message is about being who God’s truly made us to be. The reason that is important is because those marked by God’s love are called to obey! The basis for discipleship is the death of Jesus for the world. Disciples die for family, friends and enemies equally as opportunity arises. Today our bottom line is…. “If you’ve been marked by God’s love, be who you are not what people expect”
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.…
FACES Strengthened like Steel
This is the final message this series. We tend to compare strength in terms of physical first. Often when we say we can’t, its because we think about supporting something in our own power. But today we want to consider strength from the perspective of being settled in our minds because of faith. Trusting God to do because we choose to believe He will! Because we accept that He is faithful to us and will be faithful to us.
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?
Mindset: When Hope Shows It’s Face
The people in the scriptures and their stories are not exceptions but are examples for us to follow in like faith. I’ll tell you that although in life we usually do not get to choose which battles we will face, we always get to choose whether we will face them in faith or not. The difference is “…how you see because the unseen is what you’ve seen”. What our world, our country, state, neighborhoods and families need right now more than…
MindSet: When Hills and Valleys are Nets
In part two of our MindSet series, the repeated highs and lows that make up your life’s story are what God wants to use for His glory, your best and the saving of others. Maybe you feel that all is chaotic when you look at the total ups and downs in the present, but God is building a net of visual hope for those around you.

#ForTheMonValley Part 2 – Rivals
There are all sorts of Rivals in many areas of life….sports, work, education. Rivals are also seen as neighboring towns, townships, and Counties, and sadly sometimes other congregations. But we’re not competing but co-laboring, yet we’ve got our personal mandate to serve with them. And to serve all of them. In this talk, we’ll see that rather than being “one of two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can possess” (Merriam-Webster’s) that we have three…
#ForTheMonValley – Locals
As communities change with age and suffer from unending cultural transitions, the established churches within those communities not only fall behind but easily develop an “us vs them” attitude in ministry. In this new series opener, Mark challenges us to run our race to win and to gather for the purpose of partnering with God. Join us as we look to sharpen our focus in order to bless our Mon Valley Communities. #ForTheMonValley…
You Lead, I’ll Follow Part 4 Marriage: Let’s do it together
In this final week, Paula joins Mark as they wind up this series of talks by looking at the present and to the future…through the perspective of unity, the unity of heart, mind, emotions, will and most importantly the Holy Spirit.
