Fellowship Dallas Weekly Sermons

We are sent to labor with God as he gathers souls to himself. But for many Christians, there is a question of who should go, where they should go, and what they should do when they get there. This morning we look at Jesus’ words found in Luke 10 to see how we are sent, why we are sent, what is at stake, and what we can expect along the way.

We are continuing our series called To Be Continued, where we are looking at the New Testament images of the Church Jesus said he would build to know who we are, what we are called to do, and why we are called to do it. While we are all unified in the one body of Christ, we are also individuals who have been gifted differently for different purposes. We are not all supposed to be the same.

Today we begin a new series called "To Be Continued" because the work God started on the day of Pentecost is the same work He’s doing in us and through us today. He continues to build His Church through each generation of Jesus-followers, and that work is to be continued through us.

Kurt Pressler is officially installed as the Lead Pastor of Fellowship Dallas.

Celebrating the ministry of Gary Brandenburg as Lead Pastor of Fellowship Dallas.

I sometimes wonder how many Christians are ignorant of the priceless treasure that is within us. If you are a follower of Jesus, you are the container of a priceless resource. But if you are unaware of what you possess you will be condemned to live in spiritual poverty. Jesus knows His time on the earth is drawing to a close. So too is His time in the upper room with His disciples. His final instr...

Many of you know of the Great Commission, the mission Jesus gives his Church just before he ascends to heaven. This morning, though, we are going to look at what I call the Great Upper Room Commission, where Jesus follows his promise of eternity with him with the call to do his work before we get there. He gives us his three landmarks of an active journey of faith on this road trip to heaven we ca...

We’re continuing in our series called Changes. Jesus is spending his last night in an upper room with his closest followers and giving them some final instructions. He knows he’s about to go away and is leaving them with some universal truths to hold on to in times of change and the uncertainty that comes with it.

We’re continuing in our series called Changes and taking some time as a church to consider Jesus’ final instructions to his followers before a time of significant transition. Like the disciples, we too are in a time of significant transition, and while there are plenty of things we don’t know, there are some things we can know.

"Changes." That is what we are calling a new five-week sermon series based on some crucial lessons Jesus taught His disciples in an upper room on the eve of His departure. Change was in the air and there were a few things Jesus wanted to convey during a momentous transition. As most of you know, we are in a time of significant leadership transition here at Fellowship. Next month, Kurt Pressler wil...

I don’t know if you know this, but it would be a lot easier to act in a godly manner if it didn’t always involve other people. And if those people actually live with you, it makes it all the more challenging. But not only is it not good for man to be alone because he can’t fully reflect the image of God by himself, it’s also not good for man to be alone because God uses others to shape his charact...

God may have you in the belly of the beast for a time. Don’t despair. The Holy Spirit's work in us is designed to make us more like Jesus. He uses the events of our daily lives to transform us. Sometimes these lessons seem way too hard. The problem is not that he asks too much of us—the problem is that we settle for too little. Our love for the status quo makes us leery of God's plan for us.

At the beginning of this message, I revealed to you one of the greatest disappointments in my life, losing my dad at the age of 7 and it has changed my life. But I want to tell you that in the midst of my loss and disappointment, God stepped in and appointed men that helped make today possible. And I want to introduce you to three of them.

as we continue our series called Awkward Family Photos, we are going to take a look at one of the most awkward moments in the Gospels. We are going to a dinner party, but this will be unlike any dinner party you or I have ever attended. This moment has three characters involved: Jesus, along with a Pharisee and a woman, both of whom will be confronted with their desperate reality, this one being s...

It's an old story, so old in fact that some of you have never heard it. A hiker, walking near the edge of a steep cliff and fell over the side. Fortunately, he was able to grab hold of a tree limb. As he dangled in mid-air, he cried out for help, "Is anybody up there?" After a few repeated attempts he heard a voice, "I am here." "Who are you?" "I am the Lord." "Can you help me?" "Of course I can....

Some of you today may feel forgotten by the God who spoke your life into existence. He remains silent in the midst of your bareness... brokenness... singleness... loneliness... sadness... weariness. Although you’d never let another soul hear it, your heart cries out a raw prayer, “Lord, my name is ______. Do you even remember me?” I don’t know where you’re at today. Some of you may be in a really...

There are some of you here today who have been going through the motions of church. Working for God’s approval. Maybe you’ve never bowed low like Mephibosheth. You might have been in church for decades even, but maybe it’s time to get over it and surrender. In fact your carrying shame and guilt you were never ever meant to carry. To bow low and receive His amazing grace. this may be your first tim...

This morning I am going to guess that if we went through the photo albums of your life, like me, you’d have some really awkward photos. Hopefully none of your parents are sitting on you. There would also be pictures of your best moments in life – the victories and celebrations. But as we turned the pages, we’d see photos that hold the memories of some really painful moments of your life. Even if y...

You have a Father who's also given you a family photo album. And while there are no actual photographs to be found, the Bible tells the story of God's family. And just like my family, and I'm sure just like yours, there are plenty of awkward pictures to be found in this book. Just in the genealogy of Jesus is found the pair who brought sin into the world, a man who was sold into slavery by his bro...

I was driving around Richardson a couple of weeks ago and, when I came to a red light, I saw this guy holding a sign. “Repent, Repent. People get ready. Jesus is coming!” What do we think when we see someone holding up that type of sign? What do we do when we see a sign like that? Is there any merit to what he’s trying to say? We may be inclined to dismiss him or question his theology. But one thi...
