FBCW Sermons

This week, Pastor Josh covers Number 31 and how we can see God's goodness in His vengeance. God's Word is always good in good and bad circumstances, and we can see His grace in every situation. We must remember God in His vengeance and that He will lose no one who is part of God's people. No matter what, we serve a good God who keeps His promises forever.

This week, we continued our series on the Book of Numbers, covering Numbers 26-30. The next generation in Numbers needed the right kind of leader, they needed to know how to worship rightly, and they needed family structure. The two things we need to know about the next generation are that they are in our midst and that they are taking their inheritance seriously. Our next generation has the same...

This week, we continued in our series on the book of Numbers reading Numbers 25. In this passage, we hear about how Phinehas stands up for righteousness and stops God's plague of judgement on Israel. Some key takeaways: In this spiritual war, the greatest weapon against you is your own; your own desires really are that dangerous; God’s grace really is that marvelous.

This Sunday, we continued discussing the passage in Numbers on Balaam and the talking donkey. We read Numbers 23 and 24 as a continuation of last weeks sermon on Numbers 22. In every battle we face, we know who wins and we are on His side.

On Palm Sunday, we continued our series in Numbers as we read Numbers 21. We discussed five habits that lead to God-honoring victory. These habits were praying God's heart back to Him, gazing upon Christ in the midst of defeat, taking time to praise God, walking the path God puts before you, and trusting the God of victory.

This Sunday, we continued our series in Numbers, reading chapter 20. We looked at four tough situations and solutions to each. When provisions are lacking, trust God. When people are frustrating, trust God. When your path seems blocked, trust God. When your desires are denied, trust God. In conclusion... trust God!

This Sunday we closed out our Student Collective Conference with a word from guest speaker, Pastor Matt Hill. We continued our theme for the weekend, which was Foundation, as we read Mark 14:3-11. Christ is our firm foundation!

This week, as we continued in our sermon series on numbers, we read Numbers 18 and 19. We must recognize that we are in a land of death without being consumed or defined by death. This dead world is not our prize. Our prize is the living God. Since the living God is your prize, separate yourself from this world of death.

This Sunday as we read through Numbers 17, we discussed what it looks like when God picks the right leader and how we should respond. Some points were, God makes his mercy known and because of that, there is no reasonable excuse to deny Him. In the face of His mercy, how will you respond?

This Sunday we continued our series on the book of Numbers, looking at Numbers 16. Some points were that when God puts leaders in your life, let them lead and use all your gifts in submission to God's will. Whether you let God's leaders lead or try to stand in the way of God's leaders, you don't get to call the shots.

This week as we continued in our sermon series through numbers, we focused on chapter 15. We asked the question, how do I focus on God? The answer was to decide to be a part of a group that focuses on God, know what you are focusing on, know who God allows to focus on Him and give God your first and best. We asked other questions like, what if I lose focus on God and how do I regain and strengthen...

This Sunday, we finished our three-part series, a Smorgasbord of Complaints, where we focused on complaining leaders. Some major points discussed were: charge boldly, but not blindly into God's promises, when it comes to God's promises, how you proceed shows how you believe, and if you won't run toward God's promise and be saved, you will perish—and he is glorified either way.

We continued our three-part series "A Smorgasbord of Complaints" with a sermon titled Complaining Friends. We walked through Numbers 12 and find that Miriam and Aaron file a complaint against and God hears it, Miriam and Aaron’s complaint is completely out of line, and God does not let the complaint slide.

This week we started a three-part series titled A Smorgasbord of Complaints. We focused on Numbers 11 looking at how the people of Israel responded to God's provision. The faithless will find fault with God's provision and the faithful may also find fault with God's provision. God's response to our response to His provision is that the faithless will get what they deserve, the faithful will be spa...

This scripture-heavy sermon is a crash course on the first 10 chapters of the book of Numbers. We find that God's mission is to make His glory known to all the world. He prepares a people for his mission, all people are affected by His mission, and if you are God's people, you are called to affect the world with His mission.

We kicked off our new sermon series in Numbers with a book overview where we found that the book of Numbers is more than just numbers. Some key points we discovered were: your greatest blessing is to know and be known by God, your gravest mistake is to reject God, and your glorious calling is to follow God.

This Sunday as we walked through the end of Ephesians, we discussed spiritual warfare and what we should do in response. Some realities: 1. You are in a spiritual war - fight! 2. When do we fight? Today! 3. How do we fight? With the spiritual weapons God gave. 4. Where do we fight? On the battlefield of prayer.

This week, we continued our Together in Christ series as we read through Ephesians 5:22-33. We discussed what a faithful marriage looks like. For wives - you are to support your husband so he can be the man God called him to be. For husbands - you are to be the man God called you to be. Why is faithful marriage such a big deal? Because it is a picture to the world of Christ’s love for the church.

This Sunday, we continued our Together in Christ series walking through the book of Ephesians. The sermon from today was part 3 of Knowing Right and Living Right, as we read Ephesians 5:15-21. In this sermon, we discussed ways that we can use our time wisely. Some ways in which we can do this are: 1. Know god’s will 2. Be sober-minded 3. Sing together 4. Give thanks together 5. Submit to one anoth...

This Sunday, we continued our Together in Christ sermon series by reading Ephesians 5:1-14. This sermon was Part 2 of "Knowing Right and Living Right" and was concerned with sex. As we read through Ephesians 5 we found that we need to put sexuality in its proper context - the gospel. The secular world didn't invent sex, so don't let them tell you how to do it. And don't simply refrain from sexual...

This Sunday, we continued our Together in Christ sermon series as we read Ephesians 4:17-32. This week's sermon is about knowing right and living right as we relate to one another. 1. What is your biggest responsibility when it comes to relationship problems? You. 2. What is the surprising way in which God deals with your problems? He gives you a new you. 3. What things change in your relationship...

This Sunday, we read Ephesians 4:1-16 and discussed unity in the Church. In order to be unified, we must make practical efforts to promote unity in the church. We have to be careful that we are promoting unity and not uniformity. We were then asked, how do we know when we have achieved unity?

This Sunday, as we continued in our Together in Christ series, we focused on the mystery of Christ in Ephesians 3. The church is a part of your prize in Christ. He gave us messengers of God's grace, His Word, the Scriptures, and each other. The church is your voice of worship across the cosmos, and is your launching pad to God.

This Sunday we took a pause on our Together in Christ sermon series to discuss why we go and tell. In this Vision Sunday sermon, we took time to pray over our Go&Tell Ministry and our community. We also read through Ephesians 2:14-22. Our prayer points were as follows. Pray that FBCW would do everything for the sake of God’s glory. Pray that we will love each other well. Pray that we would be well...

This Sunday, Pastor Josh walked us through Ephesians 2:11-22, as we discussed what it means to be an insider and an outsider in the faith. A few questions to consider while reviewing the sermon are 1. What is it like to be an outsider? 2. What does it take to make you an insider? 3. What is it like to be an insider? Being an insider has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Christ! To be...
