FBC of Farmington - Sermons

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - As the church continues to grow, the elders have been asked the question, should we consider adding a second service? This sermon is our answer: no - because we believe God's Word would have all churches prioritize meeting regularly in one corporate worship service.

Taylor Fernandez - Although Christian's are new creations, they still have indwelling sin that must be mortified. As such, mortification is the daily duty of all believers.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - We need to learn to look deeply into the character of God - only then can we rightly fear Him, appreciate His personal salvation, and lean on His forever faithfulness. Join Pastor Ben in walking through Mary's Magnificat to lean how to magnify He who is mighty.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - As we finish our study on ladies discipling ladies, our focus is turned to the high goal of motherhood, and what it looks like for women to be workers at home. Cultivating a Titus 2 life is certainly going to be the best gift you can give your families this Christmas.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - Like our culture's confusion over masculinity, we can easily grow confused over what it means to be a godly woman. Listen as Titus 2 shows us that for most women, the good life is as a wife.

Pastor Matt Hilbert - Throughout Scripture God has a heart for the vulnerable and we as the people of God are to have a heart for them as well. But why should we care for the vulnerable? And when there are so many people in need, how do we prioritize who we care for? As we survey the Scriptures, we'll see how God's Word speaks to both of these very important questions.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - True masculinity is elusive in our culture. Thankfully, God gives us traits of a godly man. These traits act as our goals as men disciple men.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - Join us as we work through the Biblical mandate for discipleship - a call for all Christians to be lifelong learners of healthy doctrine - so that we can help present one another mature in Christ.

Pastor Matt Hilbert - As the church, we are called to make disciples of all nations. One of the ways the church accomplishes that call is through missions. In our sermon we’ll look at what it means to be partners in the gospel with our missionaries and how we can support and care for them well.

Pastor Matt Hilbert - In 1 Peter 2:9 we see that through Christ, we not only become a new persons, but a new people - part of the family of God. In our text we see how God in his grace has made us to be as the people of God. And we also find that we are made into the people of God for a purpose - so that, as we live out that identity, we might proclaim the excellencies of God to the world.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - As we conclude our study of Titus 1, we return to the theme of confronting false teachers. Today, the goal is to learn how to avoid Satan's snares by making much of Christ and less of ourselves.

Pastor Nathan Williams - We live in a world dominated by comparison. Social Media presents the lives of others as beautiful, put together and always on the ascent. To avoid playing this deadly game we need to learn to embrace our identity in Christ as we look at 1 Corinthians 4:1-7.

Pastor Nathan Williams - God created us with human limits and it's vital we recognize those limits and learn to enjoy living within them. We'll look at Psalm 103 to help us lean into our creaturely limits.

Pastor Nathan Williams - God created us emotional creatures and emotions play a key role in our spiritual lives. However, many of us often experience emotional turmoil and confusion. Our goal in this session is to provide a basic biblical understanding of emotions to help us better reflect God's design for us.

Pastor Nathan Williams - Everything about our culture pushes us to be unique from the crowd and to live a radical, innovative, impactful life. God has designed us to live most of our lives doing ordinary, mundane things. Our goal in this session is to learn how to embrace the ordinary and find joy in God's good plan for us. We'll do this from 1 Timothy 2:1-7.

Pastor Nathan Williams - Doubting God's love for us leads to a host of unrealistic expectations. We want to find freedom from uncertainty regarding salvation by fixing our gaze on Christ and His work for us from 1 John 2:1-6.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - False teachers are not a minor inconvenience, but deadly dangerous to a church family. Therefore, Paul instructs Titus to directly confront, silence, and sharply rebuke the false teachers who've made inroads into the churches in Crete. Listen as we learn to address the wolf in the room.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - As we close the list of attributes that help us identify qualified elders, we get to see not just the character of Godly men to imitate - but we get to see the function of Godly leaders in the life of the church.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - God's list of qualities for every elder aren't necessarily what we would expect; they aren't based on a long list of skills or vast experience - the list is first and foremost a description of a life that is lived above reproach. Listen as we study and apply this list.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - We are all stewards of the life that God has given us to live. Potential elders are doubly stewards, not just of their lives - but of Christ's church. Listen as we continue to examine the type of stewards elders (and frankly all of us) ought to be.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - Putting in order the churches that are out of order always includes installing godly, humbled leadership. Listen as we begin a study on what the Bible says about pastor-elders.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - When we belong to Christ, our future is sure, which guides how we live today. As we study Titus 1:2-4 we'll discover 4 reasons to always stay hopeful in life.

Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen - As we introduce our series in Titus, we will see what it looks like for every church member to help their church grow healthy for their good and the glory of God.

Pastor Matt Hilbert - Who is in charge of the church? This is a vitally important question and one which Scripture speaks directly to. As we search the Scriptures we’ll see that Christ is the ultimate authority of the church, elders have spiritual authority over the church, deacons lead in serving the church, and every church member plays a role protecting the purity of the church. We’ll also look...

Pastor Tim McKnight - Emphatic warning is provided of the dangers of apostasy. Hebrews teaches us the deadly seriousness of sin, God's wrath is fearful, and there is no other way to salvation apart from Christ.
