Fairfield Church of Christ Sermons

Jesus asks a pretty direct question.  To help you really hear what He’s asking He tells a couple of stories.  What you find out in Scripture that it doesn’t advise you to look within but to look up to God alone. He alone is the One who knows what lies ahead.  He knows what it takes to make it through tough times.  This question comes because Jeus knows we have a Lordship problem. Lordship means th...

Jesus is a soul healer.  He is concern about you’re entire life.  I guess that’s why it’s  hard to not  be always tickled at this question, because it sounds like something some neurotic person would ask.  But Jesus asks “Who touched me?,” because He knows someone had the faith necessary to just reach out and touch His garment and that would be all that would be enough.  Jesus wants to know who ha...

Jesus rebuked the crowds who knew how to interpret the weather but who missed what was right in front of them. He taught that God’s kingdom had come. The crowds who followed him saw the signs and miracles he performed. He called them hypocrites because they were open to the ways of the world. They had the intelligence to know that it was better to settle a case before it went to court, but their m...

Jesus goes on a ride with His disciples when a fierce storm comes on them, only to lead them Into a greater moment of trust.   Jesus is regularly training His disciples .  They become afraid.  They forgot who was in the boat with them.  Jesus has a destination for them and for you.  Jesus ends up  with a plan to run into a demon-possessed man.  Lessons on a ship that lead to en even crazier moment...

Hope is what provides endurance and help in the difficult times.  May you be encouraged to remain hopeful in the face of challenges because you are anchored to Jesus.   The source of our hope is in Christ and to be reminded of the promises provided in the. Scriptures.  Remember the words to this worship song – So I won't be going under I'm not held by my own strength 'Cause I build my life on Jesu...

The question isn’t Will there be a storm, but when is the next storm coming and what will you do about it?  Panic, fear, unknown and getting help is on our thoughts.  You start by sending out an S.O.S. out to the Savior and then trusting Him in the boat With you through the storm. Storms will come – sometimes often and sometimes endlessly.  How will you go about navigating the storm?  Sundays @ 8:...

Sometimes we have storms that need something sure to hold on to.  Other times there’s a lot of waiting and you sure don’t want to drift. So, what does a believer do to keep from drifting?  There is plenty of distractions to keep your life ship from remaining secure and sure in the storms, in the changes, or just in the waiting. Just leave shore without your anchor. To keep anchored in your faith,...

Colossians 4:1-18 – Mother’s Day -(Bruce)  - The more the world becomes high-tech, the more people need high touch.  As good as letters and phone calls and Zoom meetings can be, you need people: real people in the same room that you can see and touch Paul knows that he can’t be present in person, and he doesn’t just send a letter. He sends messengers, real people who will show up in his place to b...

Colossians 3:12-17 – (Brian) Paul is going help us know what Christ establishes for you to wear for the journey and means of staying in the right lane along the way. Today, you should be grateful to Dean Sicking, an American inventor who came up with the idea of energy-absorbing guardrails for US roadways to keep your car on the highway.  But did you know there are also guardrails to keep your lif...

Colossians 1:1-14 (Brian)  One of the best compliments you could ever receive is “You are a great Christian!”  Paul tells us in Colossians that there are traits to showing that you can be a great Christian.  He was thankful for the work of Christ in the Colossians lives that made them valuable (great) in God’s sight and for His cause and purpose. So, before theology there needs to be knee-ology!  ...

God values you so deeply that He sent His Son to rescue you from sin and death. The cross shows what you’re worth to God; the resurrection shows how far He was willing to go to be with you. Jesus paid the highest price for your freedom, proving your value was worth His life. Because of His victory, we are free from guilt, shame, and the weight of the past. We are loved, accepted, and redeemed. The...

In a world obsessed with “likes,” Jesus reminds us that popularity is not the goal. On Palm Sunday the crowds praised Him—but soon they mocked, scorned, and rejected Him. If you want to win a popularity contest, don’t follow Jesus. Jesus didn’t seek fans; He made disciples. His message of truth, repentance, and self‑denial produced devotion or opposition—never indifference. He wasn’t concerned wit...

Following Jesus isn’t just about being a disciple—it’s about making disciples. Jesus invested deeply in a few who would carry His mission forward, and that same calling rests on us. In a culture of quick fixes and mass production, disciple‑making is slow, intentional, and relational—but it’s how the gospel truly advances. It’s spiritual parenting: sharing not just truth, but our lives. It costs mu...

It’s been said there are two kinds of people in the world: the bored and the boring. I believe there’s a third—the passionately consumed. What would your life look like if you followed Jesus with consuming passion—loving deeply, serving fiercely, living victoriously? Jesus longs for a people wholly consumed with Him and His ways, willing to live and die for His kingdom and see heaven break out on...

This is a very hard teaching of Jesus  - about self denial and cross carrying.  For Jesus to tell His disciples to pick up a cross and follow Him would have been shocking as Him telling people today to pick up your electric chairs and guillotines and follow Him.  Of all the images Jesus could have used to describe discipleship, why would He choose this most horrific one?  Noah got a rainbow.  Mose...

Matthew 4:18-25; Mark 1:18; Luke 9:1-6; John 1:43-51 Sundays @ 8:45 & 11:15 745 Symmes Rd Fairfield, OH 45014 Learn more at www.werfcc.com !  Check out our original music !

Acts 4:1-37 - Lord, use me! This is a raw prayer because God has no problem taking you up on your offer. What is the most raw prayer you’ve ever voiced? I believe many of us play it safe when it comes to our prayer life. It doesn’t always make sense to me but God has chosen the church as the instrument to share his message. He has chosen the church as the instrument to accomplish his will. He has...

Rom. 12:1-2; 2 Cor. 3:12-18 - Suppose you could change anything anpboit yourself, where would you start? Lots of us would start?  Lots of us would start on the outside.  Would you be…skinnier?  Taller?  Shorter? Better looking? Would you change…your eyes?  Your hair?  Your teeth?  Your legs?  Your bulges? But as hard as it is to change on the outside, it seems infinitely harder to change on the in...

Mark 14:3-9; 1 Cor. 15:31; Psalm 51 – Of all of the raw prayers out there, this week’s prayer is the toughest one.  “Lord, break me,” takes prayer to a whole different level. In order for God to use you, you have to be emptied of self.  God has to break pride, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, and even the things you don’t even know need to be removed fro your life. To pray “Lord, break me,” is t...

Matt. 15:21-28; Mark 9:14-22; Psalm 34:17    - What’s the hardest thing in your life right now?  Relationship issues, family enmity, work stress, loneliness, injury, sickness, bitterness, ugliness, hopelessness?  The Bible has so much to say about such everyday issues.  This message will speak directly to how God responds to you in your suffering, and how He desires for you to respond to suffering...

Prov. 29:11; 2 Cor. 5:17-20; Acts 2:32; Heb. 11:6 Vision deals with the future and what we can imagine together.  Imagination isn’t just fantasy novels and art classes.  Faith is the act of imagination.   In an article from Christianity Today, entitled, “Can You Imagine? – Why Imagination is Crucial to the Christian Life,” says,  “If reason changes our hearts…touching the imagination can inspire u...

Mark 2:15-1; Luke 19:9-10; John 4:23-24, 14:6; Matt. 28:19-20 This is where you live out the teachings of Jesus in your everyday life with others you come into contact with.  It means taking the life, teaching and attitude of Jesus to as many as you can get the message to that you live and work around.  It will require taking up your cross for others.  Knowing the mission and living it out is comp...

Gen. 11:6; Ex.  33:14-17; Matt. 22:34-39; Col. 4:5-6; Eph. 1:8-12 Always knowing why you are here is critical to knowing what your DNA looks like. Every  person is existing with three huge endeavors here at Fairfield.  We want to exist to live DEVOTED TO JESUS, PASSIONATE FOR PEOPLE, and COMMITTED TO SERVING AND LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR.  Living out this purpose requires daily practice on our parts for...

Isaiah 54:2-5; John 15:1-8(Brian). When you go to the woods, you, you quickly learn what you need to do to survive.  Shelter is critical for lasting and endurance is key to it all.  Remaining in a place to continue to grow helps as well.  Once you listen to the lies of “Just Quit,” survival begins to slow down.   Once again, God’s precious word, helps us all to discover what we need to grow and st...
