FBCW Sermons

This Sunday, we walked through Ephesians 2:1-10, as we continued in our Together in Christ sermon series. There is life for the living! We are all born into sin and death, but God gives us life! He gives life to you and to your work. Other scriptures mentioned were Romans 5:12 and 17.

This Sunday, we continued our Together in Christ series about Shared Blessings as we read through Ephesians 1:15-23. A lot of our points from this Sunday centered around prayers. We should thank God in prayer for the genuine believers around us. We should pray that truth would abound in our fellow believers and pray for the shared work of the church. Some other scriptures mentioned were Ephesians...

We kicked off our Together in Christ series this week by reading through Ephesians 1:1-14. Pastor Josh shared with us that we can bless God by receiving His blessings, we can be encouraged by God's greatest blessing (which is Jesus), and we can enjoy God's blessings together with the blessed of God. Other scriptures mentioned: Psalm 116:12-13.

This week, we concluded our Christ the Greater sermon series as we read the last chapter of Hebrews. Hebrews 13 focuses on Christ as our greater love and truth. What should we do with love? We should live it. What should we do with truth? We should know it. How do we keep from straying from love and truth? Remember why we do what we do.

This week, Pastor Josh Wootton walked us through Hebrews 12, where we continued in our Christ the Greater sermon series. This week's sermon centered around how Jesus is our greater life. A life in Christ is a life of endurance, discipline, and peace.

This week, we are encouraged by the faith that we have in Christ as we go through Hebrews 11. Faith allows you to see God properly, which then allows you to see the world and relationships properly and allows you to navigate circumstances properly. Other scriptures mentioned: Colossians 1:15; 2:9, Hebrews 1:3, and John 14:9.

This week we are reminded of the great work of Christ as we cover Hebrews 10. Jesus is the greater sacrifice, priest, and covenant. His work is greater than all and makes all of our work great as we draw near to Him and hold fast to our confession. As we focus on Jesus, we are to help others set their eyes on Him.

Pastor Josh covers Hebrews 9:16-10:4 and why we need Jesus' sacrifice. Our heavenly inheritance requires divine death, and Christ's covenant requires His blood. Our forgiveness has been fully paid by Jesus, so we can stop trying to pay for our own sins!

We cover Hebrews 9:1-15 and note God's holiness, man's inadequacy, and Christ's perfection. The Tabernacle of the old testament has been replaced by a perfect and accessible sanctuary in Christ. Scripture calls us to respond to this truth.

We cover Hebrews 6:13-7:28 and the history of God's covenants with humanity - Creation, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic. These Old Testament covenants were based on people who could not keep them, yet now, through the new covenant, we have one based on Jesus. Through this new covenant, God's promise in Christ can be His promise to you.

We continue our Christ the Greater series with Hebrews 6:13-7:28. Pastor Josh reminds us that we need a God-sized hope that must be understandable to man. God provided us with that hope through Jesus, who exceeds any and all of our expectations! What a glorious reminder that the Old Testament priesthood was meant to lead us to a higher priest - Jesus Christ!

Pastor Josh continued the Christ The Greater series with Hebrews 5:11-6:12. He shared how we are called to grow in our knowledge as Christians. Yet, some people are spiritually malnourished and have forgotten that Jesus is better. Jesus is perfect and His work is perfect. What a glorious reminder of the true reality we have in Christ.

Pastor David continues our Christ the Greater series with Hebrews 4:14-5:10. Scripture lays us bare and shows us how we are accountable to God. Yet, Jesus who was qualified not only his humanity, but in his appointment by God, acts as our high priest. Our response to this grace should be to hold fast to our confession and draw near to God's throne. Jesus is our greater high priest who gives us unp...

Pastor Andrew guides us through Lamentations 3 and how it shows that God is able to handle our lament. He is our portion and Jesus is enough. No matter what life may throw our way or the situations we are faced with we can rely on Him in the middle of the battle!

Pastor Josh finishes the We Are sermon series with John 21:20-25. In a world where we all follow something or someone, we are called to follow Jesus. We have heard the truth from His own Word and of the great hope we can have through Him. Jesus Himself calls YOU personally to follow Him!

Pastor Josh covers John 21:15-19 and how our love is destined for failure. Yet we can have hope because Jesus turns our failed love into unshakable love. His love never fails despite our love failing to love Him perfectly. Our total failure requires total restoration which we are given when we accept Jesus Christ.

We continue our We Are series with John 21 and how we are confirmed in our belief. We must not only decide who Christ is, but who we are in response to Christ. As we decide who we will be, we must not look at ourselves, but look to Christ the founder and perfecter of our faith.

Join us for our Go & Tell Celebration as we see where our church has been this past year and are encouraged by the testimonies of our brothers & sisters in Christ! Pastor Josh opens our time with Romans 10 and reminds us that as the church we have something the world needs - The Gospel! Pastor David expounded on what it means to truly go & tell by sharing encouraging news from our work with the Wi...

We continue our We Are series with John 20:24-31. The world may scare us into FOMO but as God's children we need to be reminded that we won't miss out on anything our Father has planned for us. Our God gives second chances and is calling us to be obedient to His call. God never stops pursuing us and wants to use us in this world. Let's not waste the opportunities God gives us each and everyday!

Pastor Josh Wootton continues the We Are Series with a message from John 20. Learn how Jesus was sent to find us, His lost sheep. By His grace we have been saved and sent to find others! Matthew 29:18-20 commands us to go therefore and make disciples who make disciples. As the sent people of Jesus we have the most important job of all and we are now called to go.

Such an impactful message from Pastor Josh for Resurrection Sunday! We focused on three parts of the Easter story found in John 18-20. We need to recognize who Jesus really is - the living God who rules over all creation! Just like Mary Magdalene who shared of Jesus' resurrection to the displaces, we need to call Jesus Lord and testify the truth of the Resurrection of Jesus!

Pastor Josh covers all of John 17 and why we should strive for unity. The church's unity glorifies Christ and gives the world a picture of God's love. We are unified though God's Word and our shared faith so that the would may know and believe in Jesus!

Pastor Josh finishes John 16 and how we should be full of joy & peace! Learn what true joy is and how we can get it in this world! There is no religion that can give us what Jesus does and there's nothing in this world that can take away our joy!

Pastor Josh covers John 16:4-15 and how as Christians we've been blessed with belief! Since the truth of Christ is too profound to receive in our own understanding we need help. The Holy Spirit has been sent to tell us the truth about our sin and to guide us in all truth. Thank God we have been given a Helper so that we can be saved and so that we may glorify God.

Pastor Josh kicked off the We Are sermon series with John 15. He explained the evidence of Christ’s love revealed in Scripture. Jesus gave His life for us, made known the Father’s will, and chose us so that we may give our life for others. It is Christ’s love that sustains us in this world, even when we are hated. It is Christ’s love that will carry us until the day we meet Him face to face!
