Faith Community Church - Sunday Sermons

Jesus treated His disciples better than they deserved. He demonstrated to them His mercy, His provision, and His kindness. This is the Lord’s dealings with His elect. He will woo them and draw them to faith and repentance. This is indeed how the Lord deals with His elect throughout the ages. Those whom He has chosen He showers His kindness to lead them to repentance—though at times with the rod. M...

God has a purpose for our existence. Our time on earth is an opportunity to understand and carry out that will. In this study, we explore the will of God revealed in this text, book, and the whole of Scripture. May the Lord enable. us to not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is, and live as Spirit-filled men and women who speak like no one else, sing like no one else, give thanks...

God has come in the person of Jesus Christ and He has come to deliver us from our exile and to address the root problem of sin. May the Holy Spirit open our spiritual eyes to behold our God in our Savior and God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jesus calls “blessed” the faith of those who believe without ever having seen the risen Christ. In this study we explore the import of this blessed faith that it is a God-given faith, a word-based faith, and a life-giving faith. May the Lord teach us to cherish and nourish the gift of faith He has given us and may we water and fertilize that faith that it would indeed thrive, flourish, and bear mu...

The remarkable story of Thomas found in this portion of John reveals two important lessons on faith. Faith is a choice and faith is worship. May the Holy Spirit urge us on to fight the good fight of faith and be a believer every day, and may He grant us the grace to see and uphold Jesus as “my Lord and my God.” Hosted on Acast.

The foretaste of the gift of the Holy Spirit is what Jesus imparts to His disciples on Resurrection Sunday. The Lord Jesus gives His own presence to His disciples, specifically in the illumination of the Word of God. We today also have the presence of Christ with us through the indwelling Spirit of God. We likewise have the illumination of the Spirit, and the Word of God is living and active to us...

The Christian’s service in the church is a service by faith in Jesus Christ. This passage asserts that God will provide for all of our needs so every Christian is liberated from being reluctant and enabled to spend our lives to faithful service for Christ. Hosted on Acast.

Upon His resurrection, Jesus gave His disciples a mission: to proclaim the gospel and make disciples—a mission that would require self-sacrifice in the footsteps of Christ. Far from being a burden, this mission was a boon. No longer were they lost at sea, adrift without a rudder or wandering aimlessly through life. Instead, they were given a clear purpose and direction: to proclaim the unfathomabl...

Mary, who was the first to see the risen Lord, loved Him. She showed it through her dedication, her emotion, and her submission. She loved Him with a depth of feeling, but that is not where her love ended. She loved Him as she was taught to love Him, through her obedience to His commands. May the Holy Spirit warm our hearts to love our Lord who is worth of our supreme love, and may we thus sing jo...

True worship with a renewed mind leads to harmony in the Lord. This means, we must dwell on excellent and praiseworthy things, all of which are found in their absolute form only in the Lord. True peace and peace making only occur in the Lord. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John provides the evidence of Jesus’ death, burial, and the empty tomb. But instead of merely giving the evidence, John weaves the stories of the five people through whom the evidences come. These are the five witnesses seen in this passage: Joseph, Nicodemus, Mary, John, and Peter. Each of these individuals also provide an opportunity for us to reflect upon lessons of faith. May our Lord teach. u...

After giving two evidences of Jesus’ death, John reveals that His unbroken legs and spear wound also signified the fulfillment of a type and a prophecy of Scripture, namely, that Jesus is our Passover and coming Judge. These have implications. Jesus as Passover means that we must clean out the old leaven of hypocrisy and compromise. We are to be devoted to Him in sincerity and truth. Jesus as the...

The Christian concept of waiting is much different than the what we generally think about waiting. Our waiting is a privilege and expression of our citizenship. We are actively engaged in holy living—the same living we will do in heaven—as we wait for our Lord’s return. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When Christ lays hold of you, He controls you. Subsequently, you yield to Him and lay hold of Him by growing in holiness. A holy life is proof that Christ has laid hold of your life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There are many things that we love and cherish. However, Christians consider all of it as rubbish when compared to the surpassing value of knowing Christ. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“It is finished” is a statement full of meaning, but at the very least, it was about His work of redemption. It spoke of His full payment of ransom to free us from sin and judgment. It also ushered us into the new covenant relationship with God. The Lord’s final words “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit” shows us how believers ought to die, with hearts wholly trusting in God. May the Lord...

This sermon is part 1 of a multipart series on our Lord’s cries from the cross that accomplished redemption for His people. In this first installment, the focus is on Jesus’ words “I thirst” and its significance. This cry fulfilled prophecy, signified impending death, demonstrated Jesus’’ humanity, and evidenced His substitutionary work for sinners. May the Lord’s love demonstrated on the cross wo...

The source of our joy in the wilderness times of our lives is God Himself. If our eyes of faith can see Him, we can endure and outlast the dry and weary land. God shows us through the dire and depressing circumstances of David in which he found joy in the LORD, that we, too, can see God for who He is with the eyes of faith in the wasteland. His lovingkindness is better than life, and God Himself i...

Two examples of Christian service are given in this passage. What Scripture says about Timothy and Epaphroditus demonstrate how God works in ordinary Christians both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The cross was once an emblem of suffering and shame. But it has become to us a symbol of beauty because it was at the cross that our Savior revealed Himself to be our beautiful Savior. The cross is where we find our redemption, our worth, our identity, and our purpose. “But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified...
