Eureka! Found It

Eureka comes from the Greek heurēka meaning, “I have found”, and is attributed to Archimedes as his exclamation on discovering a method for determining the purity of gold. We can generally say its what one might say when you make a sudden realization! Today it names cities, a vacuum sweeper line, TV series, even a college in Illinois, among other things. Could the Gospel be the one thing that can produce the EUREKA moment for life! Sadly 94% of all the churches in America are losing ground in their…

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 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 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 Anger and Doubt are Right

Do you ever feel right when you’re angry that you’re truly right? Or do you feel embarrassed? Humiliated? How about when you doubt? Do you feel like you have a bonafide reason to doubt? Or do you feel guilty? Ashamed? You see how you see, because of how you feel after you see what you’ve seen. So how does the Gospel tell a better story? Catch us here on Youtube!

#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…

#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…
