FCC Students Sermons

This month we look at the 4 postures of student engagment & how leaders can meet each type of student where they are at.

God is always at work in our lives even when we can’t see it or understand it. Are we living in such a way that testifies to that truth? Are we standing up for what is right in every area of our life or are we bowing down and making excuses? Scriptures:  Esther 1 - 10  Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- students@fccsantamaria.org Website- fccsantamaria.org

Students Should ask themselves: "Am I more concerned with how people see me or with who I am before God," and "What does it look like to honor God when nobody else is watching?" We want students to know God cares more about their heart than their image! Scriptures: 1 Sam. 16:7, 1 Sam. 16:11-13, 1 Sam. 17:34-37, 1 Sam. 17:38-40 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram...

What do you do when life doesn’t go according to plan? Joseph’s story takes him from a dream to a pit, from slavery to prison, and eventually to a place he never could have imagined. Through betrayal, disappointment, and unanswered question, God was present and working—even when Joseph couldn’t see it. Joseph’s story reminds us that we don’t have to understand what God is doing in order to trust t...

You don't have to compromise who you are just because everyone around you is doing something different. Ask yourself: "Am I willing to stand for God when following Him makes me different?"

May 20, 2026: 11th & 12th grade's student takeover night!  Humility is the start of reverence. When understanding why we stand in awe of God, we often need to get out of our own pride first. God is the perfecter and the master of our hearts. We understand that through humility, then remain in awe because of Him. Scriptures: Philippians 2:1-4 Philippians 2:5-11 Job 15:2- 8 Job 15:11- 13 Jo...

May 13, 2026: 9th & 10th grade's student takeover night!  Jesus shouldn’t just be a HOBBY. He is our Lord and our King, we should treat Him like one. This is a series of questions of how we can do this every single day. Scriptures: Matthew 6:33 Proverbs 3:6 Matthew 22:37-38 Colossians 3:17 Psalms 27:4.

May 6, 2026: 7th & 8th grade's student takeover night!  Do Your Best And God Will Do The Rest: You don’t need to be perfect. Jesus died so you can go to heaven. We’ve been told this over and over, but sometimes it doesn’t sink in and we try to be perfect anyways. We should do our best because we love God, not because we feel we need to earn God’s love. "Do Your Best And God Will Do T...

Time feels unlimited—until it’s not. In this message, we look at Jesus’ parable in Matthew 25 and the reality that what we’ve been given—our time, abilities, and influence—actually matters more than we think. Life can change in an instant, and none of us know how many days we have left. But instead of creating fear, that truth is meant to wake us up to live with purpose, urgency, and love. The que...

The idea of “You cannot give what you don’t have” is To understand the value of your heart and know the depth of The Love of God through out and beyond time. to know the Depth of the Love of God, We must first know, or at least try to, understand The Grandness of His Being and the Fullness of His heart that was shown through out the Bible, especially through Christ that was meant for us to just ac...

A lot of us have learned how to look okay—even when we’re not. But God isn’t asking for a perfect version of you; He wants the real you. This message explores how Scripture shows us that God meets us in our emotions and invites us to stop carrying our struggles alone. When we drop the mask and let God—and others—in, we discover the kind of peace and support we were created to enjoy. Scripture: Psa...

Boundaries in relationships are a gift from God for our good, not to keep us from fun. Scripture: - Proverbs 4:20-23 - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Proverbs 25:28 - Philippians 4:8-9 - Romans 13:14 - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- students@fccsantamaria.org Website- fccsantamaria.org

Attraction and desire are God-designed, but unchecked desire can lead to a world of issues. The problem isn’t being attracted to someone, rather problems arise when our attraction matters more to us than the Word of God. Wisdom isn’t denying feelings—it’s directing them in the way of the Scriptures. Scripture: - Genesis 2:18-25 - Song of Solomon 2:7 - Proverbs 4:23 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student...

This message challenges students to rethink dating through the lens of identity and worth. It explores how searching for validation in relationships can lead to unhealthy choices, while reminding students that their true worth is already given by God. Rooted in Psalm 139 and 1 John 3, the sermon points students back to an identity grounded in being loved, chosen, and secure in Christ. Students are...

In our day and age we tend to go with the trend and what other people are doing even if it is not right. so this week we will look at what it looks like to always be ready to do what is right, being ready to do good. Scripture: - Titus 3 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- students@fccsantamaria.org Website- fccsantamaria.org

Titus is to teach the people of Crete how their (and our) lives should look so that instead of denying God by our deeds, our deeds point others to God who gave His son to save us from our sin. We are not “being good” to earn our salvation like some were teaching in Crete. Jesus redeemed us from our sin and our response is to honor our savior by how we live. We are to be zealous for good deeds so t...

What you believe will always show up in how you live. In Titus 1, Paul calls out empty religion, false teaching, and people who talk a big faith but live small lives. This message explores why growing in faith sometimes requires being confronted, corrected, and uncomfortable—and why truth without grace wounds, but grace without truth lies. At the end of the day, your life doesn’t just talk about G...

Ever felt like the "forgotten one" in your family, or the one who has to be perfect all the time? We will dive into the silent struggles of favoritism, jealousy, betrayal, waiting forgiveness, and redemption through the story of Joseph. Bringing the awkward into the light and discovering how God turns family messes into purpose. Scripture: - Genesis 37:3 - Romans 2:11 - Genesis 37:4 - Ge...

We all have parts of our lives we’d rather keep hidden — habits, thoughts, or past choices that carry shame. In John 4, Jesus meets a woman hiding behind her secrets and invites her into freedom instead of condemnation. He doesn’t expose her to embarrass her; He brings truth to heal her. When we bring our hidden struggles into His light, we don’t find rejection — we find redemption. ALL Cited Scri...

October 8, 2025 Scripture: John 15 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Student Ministry Instagram- @fccstudents Email- students@fccsantamaria.org Website- fccsantamaria.org

This sermon invites us to reflect on what it truly means to understand and surrender to God’s will for our lives. By looking at the perfect example of Jesus, we see how He willingly laid down His own desires in obedience to the Father. His ultimate surrender on the cross shows us the depth of God’s love and the life we can experience through Him. As followers of Christ, we are called to trust God’...
