Pastor Josiah asked, “What do you bring to the King?” and answered, “A gift of honor simply,” reminding us that Jesus is worthy of it all. At FC, where the mission is to culture like Christ and the vision is Jesus, we reflected on the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17. These men lived isolated in “no man’s land,” yet when they cried out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us,” their faith and obedienc...

This message centered on Jesus as Emanuel—“God with us”—reminding us that He will never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), a truth echoed through worship that lifted our hearts to the Lord. Though we may find ourselves in seasons of spiritual battle, Scripture assures us that victory belongs to the Lord (Proverbs 21:31), calling us to rest in Him rather than strive. Pastor Josiah walked us throu...

The young boy who offered his five loaves and two fish reminds us that when we give Jesus what we have, He multiplies it beyond measure. Pastor Josiah shared how our small acts of generosity allow us to “write ourselves into the story.” Continuing FC’s mission to culture like Christ and vision of Jesus, this week’s message—“The Twin”—focused on Thomas, who moved from doubt to deep faith. From John...

This powerful message takes us deep into Luke 16, where Jesus shares the sobering account of the rich man and Lazarus—a story that forces us to confront the eternal consequences of how we live today. What makes this teaching particularly striking is that it's the only parable where Jesus names specific individuals, suggesting this may be more than just a story—it could be an actual account of...

This powerful exploration of Joshua chapter 2 takes us beyond the familiar story of Jericho's walls to uncover what it truly means to live with conquering faith. We discover that God hasn't just called us to be intimate worshipers—though that's beautiful and essential—but also to be invincible warriors who push back the gates of hell. The narrative of the two spies finding Rahab become...

Joel Munoz encouraged us with Matthew 7:24 and Hebrews 12:28–29, reminding us to stand on the Rock and be thankful for the unshakable kingdom we’ve received. Pastor Josiah’s message, “In God We Trust,” pointed us back to the heart behind our national motto and to whom our trust truly belongs. From Luke 16, Jesus’ parable of the shrewd manager illustrated how our handling of worldly possessions rev...

The service began with powerful worship, heartfelt baptisms, and communion, setting the stage for a moving message from guest speaker Brian Barcelona. Brian shared his testimony of transformation—from a sixteen-year-old atheist to a follower of Christ—after a persistent friend invited him to church.

We began by declaring the powerful names of God— Elohim, Adonai, Rapha, Nissi, Shaddai —proclaiming that the name of the Lord is our strong tower and hiding place. What a beautiful way to worship the Creator who calls us His own, as Joel Munoz reminded us through Isaiah 43: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” Pastor Josiah continued the theme of being...

Pastor Josiah reminded us that our mission is to culture like Christ and our vision is Jesus. Last week’s message, “No Excuses,” called us to align our hearts and minds with the Lord, while this week’s sermon, “Live on Mission,” built on that as our Africa team returned. Centered on Luke 14–15, Pastor Josiah challenged us to put Jesus first, even above family and comfort, teaching that denying our...

The title of the sermon was “The Power of Agreement.” We are free to come into agreement with Christ Jesus everyday. We can say “Yes” to Jesus daily, and we are free to stand for Him in our words and actions; thus you are always on assignment for Jesus. The power of agreement with Jesus puts you in alignment with Him. Pastor Greg read from Mark about the paralyzed man whose four friends carried hi...

Pastor Erick Aguilar’s sermon was entitled “The Heart Before the Gift.” He read about Joshua and the Israelite army were to ”March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast...

While we are in a great place of excitement for Lord and to see him move in Revival. We must first look to past moves of God to understand more about what Revival looks like, the spiritual cost that comes with it and to examine ourselves are we truly in position with the capacity to carry it out under the leading of Holy Spirit? There are 3 parts to this message: The Necessary role a BURDEN from t...

Jesus teaches a parable of people invited to a banquet, through they've agreed to come, excuses begin to flow once the banquet is ready. Pastor Josiah takes us into an intrinsic look at the reasons behind their excuses and how it applies to us today. This is not a time for excuses. If we look for them, we'll find them! But if we look and stay committed, we'll never be disappointed we m...

John Mark isn't a widely known biblical character however without him, we wouldn't have the Gospel of Mark! He made a profound impact on our world.

Don't get stuck. Making the shift to the new and beautiful thing the Lord is doing is so vital. John the Baptist was caught between two convenants and had a hard time transitioning " out of the kitchen" and onto the "dinner table" so to speak. If you're constantly cooking and never transition into time to eat, you'll be missing the whole reason you were preparing to...

After covering John the Baptist, Pastor Josiah takes us into John the Beloved. He wasn't always perfect, but there was something about his zeal for the Lord that afforded him favor with Jesus. Jesus was cultivating something in John because of his bold yes to follow the Lord. Unlike John the Baptist, John the Beloved was able to make a transition from the ministry of preparation to intimacy. W...

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah needs to be dissected to understand where the perversion lies so that its failure won’t be repeated. We can learn a lot from this powerful story. Hospitality has a way of bringing forth blessing, just ensure that when you’re blessed you don’t lose your moral compass of family and see spiritual health, family and integrity go out the window. Take care of your own spi...

How could a man be born blind as a consequence of his own sin? Jesus addresses a faulty thinking amongst the religious leaders and the culture. Have we done the same thing by adopting an unhealthy mindset? A blind man is healed and the religious leaders couldn’t compute what happened. The truth is, by faith in obedience this man saw God before his eyes were ever opened! An unoffendable heart and a...

Are you struggling to feel close to God? 🤔 In this message, we uncover the truth: God is not far, you may just be distracted. Walking through Matthew 5:1–3, we’ll see how Jesus reveals the secret of intimacy with God: becoming “poor in spirit.” True intimacy happens at the spirit level—not in our bodies, not in our emotions, but in surrendering the deepest part of us to Him. We’ll look at the dif...
