Jude is writing his letter to the early church as he felt compelled to speak on a particular topic. The topic was to have believers contend for the faith by watching out for those who pervert the gospel. The way people can pervert the gospel is similar to that of Cain, Balaam, and Korah as mentioned in the letter and we still see the same issues today. We need to watch out for what is being taught...

In todays world, love is a concept often misrepresented and misunderstood. We have a choice to understand love in light of who God is, or what we want it to mean. God is the definition of love. Scripture: 1 John 4:7-21, Colossians 2:8 Resources: FaceBook- FCC Young Adults Instagram- @fccya

Many times, both in society and church we let feelings dictate how we see reality. Furthermore, we let it justify our actions.

Many people fall victim to two types of thoughts. Either they are good enough without Jesus, or they believe they are horrible and undeserving & undeserving Jesus and His forgiveness. Judas fell victim to both. Where does that lead? It ultimately leads to death and separation from Christ.

When someone wrongs us, our gut tells us to make things right by getting even. Jesus tells us differently - to turn the other cheek. But does that mean that all Christians are to be pushovers and let things happen to them? Or is there a time and place to "get back" at the ones who harmed us? Scripture: Matthew 5:38-42; Matthew 5:17-18; Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21 Res...

This message goes through the story of Ehud the Judge who slays Eglon. Ehud was uniquely equipped to rise up when God called him. We are called to rise up, and love people and show the world Christ. It is time to Rise Up. Scripture: Judges 3:12-30 FaceBook: FCC Young Adults Instagram: @fccya

When you look at the world, it can be quite messy. Lives filled with loss due to humanity’s destructive nature. But if God has called us to have life, why do we do the things that bring us death? God wants us to submit to the Spirit to find life and peace for ourselves and to others. If we know this to be true, don’t settle for anything less. Scripture: Genesis 1:1-3, Romans 8:5-8, Romans 8:10-11...

The story of the rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16 illustrates to us that we don't dictate equality, but the ethos of what God's kingdom is one of authority and structure. Samuel a direct descendant of Korah helped lead David is his family was an integral part of David's tabernacle leadership and wrote 11 Psalms, including Psalm 47. Psalm 47 declares that God is King. And the beautif...

Christians are caught up in a long-standing conflict between The Lord and Satan. Where the Lord wants life, Satan wants death. Where the Lord wants hope, Satan wants despair. This week we unpack the tactics that our enemy uses to discourage and derail God's people by looking at the story of David and Bathsheba...and how Satan turned a "Man after God's heart" into an adulterer,...

We may look at our lives and think of it to be of little importance or purpose. But God is writing His story and wants to include ours in it as well. His faithfulness to us is true from the beginning of time all the way to now. It’s up to us to choose what we entrust God with and how far we are willing to trust Him in His faithfulness. Scripture: 2 Samuel 7, Jeremiah 31:31-34

When we live to please people, it can leave us lonely and isolated. Everyone knows some version of us, but who knows the REAL you? This week we look at how David reacts to the news of the death of Saul, and what can happen when living to please people goes a little bit too far. Scripture: 2 Samuel 1

In the midst of an overwhelming world, when we humbly turn, and we let go and let God; that is when we will be overwhelmed by His grace, and overcome by His love. That is a place that we could all rest in. Scripture: 1 Samuel 31

Some people love well, but don’t do anything with it. Some people may do many works, but don’t love. People either have their heart or their mind aligned with Jesus, but in order to walk into the fullness of what God has intended for you, your heart and mind need to be aligned with His. “Where do you lean towards?” 1 Samuel 24 ESV Join us at Revive - Sundays at 7pm at First Christian Church in San...
