Fern Creek Christian Church

James is an AWESOME part of our church family. He loves the Lord and expresses a joyful gratitude that seems rare in today's culture. Hear his story and learn what makes him so joyful.

God's love for you is unmatched. Hosea's life is an illustration that God will take you back no matter how many times you turn away. Taste and see that the Lord is good today.

We are called to love God deeply and glorify Him in everything we do. But it's okay if we fail to do that. Jesus meets us where we are, and He calls us deeper, just like He did with Peter. 

The disciples disobeyed. Peter had given up faith. But Jesus invites them all, saying, "Come and have some breakfast." It's Jesus' last meal with the boys! 153 fish illustrate the overwhelming love of God for you.

Jesus' first miracle recorded in the gospel of John involved turning water into wine. $13.6 million worth of wine. WOW! But don't miss why Jesus performed this miracle at the wedding...He wanted people to know that He was the Messiah. 

Mike Hook, Fern Creek's Hispanic Minister, joins us today to talk about one of his favorite Bible verses – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

The Strongman of the circus was known for performing amazing feats of physical strength. When we look to the strongman of the Bible, Samson, we see that even though we may be granted with physical strength, we may lack spiritual strength. Through the story of Samson we can learn that if we trust in God, we can find true Spiritual strength through Him.

Discipleship Minister, Rich Teske and Outreach Minister, Josh Cooper take some time to reminisce on meaningful memories with their dad. They also praise God for being a perfect, Heavenly Father who demonstrates His love for us through the person of Jesus. Come and laugh with us!

Laughter is one of the best gifts God ever gave us. It's important that families learn to laugh at themselves, at home, and at church so that the world will know the full extent of the joy we have in Jesus. Laughter really is the best medicine in the darkest times. 

There's plenty to juggle as parents, but amidst all the chaos, Pastor Gary encourages us to make priorities in our households. We must strive to lay faith foundations for our kids, pointing them to Scripture and the love of Jesus. We all are leaving a legacy of some sort...what legacy are you leaving?

Marriage can often feel like walking on a tightrope. There's lots of room to fall off, and it's extremely hard to get back up. As we start our new series 'Family Circus', we want to take time to address God's covenant of marriage and what God's original design for it looks like. Kids Minister, Gary Boschain, walks us through Genesis 2 and Ephesians 5 and some of his own story to illustrate how to...

Today, we get to hear from Outreach Minister, Josh Cooper, about why the mission of Jesus is important to him and should be important to us as followers of Jesus. In these times, we must be merciful, urgent, and love sinners. 

The only excuse not to make a decision to get baptized TODAY is that you're not ready to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior. And that's okay, you may need more time. But the enemy wants us to procrastinate and get lazy. Let's move ourselves to a decision to follow Jesus and repent and get baptized, as scripture tells us to do. 

Meet our Hispanic Minister, Mike Hook. The way Mike does ministry is inspiring and an example for anyone who follows Jesus. Get to know more about him and our church on this month's "Meet Fern Creek"!

In honor of all the ladies in our church, we wanted to take a Sunday to recognize just how special women are. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms listening in, and remember this – in the eyes of God and in our eyes, you are remarkable and you are loved. 

Inside each one of us is a desire for revenge. But as we fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, we realize that the Kingdom of God is not a place where we can hold onto unforgiveness. We must forgive as the Father has forgiven us for our 76,650 sins over a lifetime. I'll just let Pastor Craig explain how he got that number...

Our culture is prone to develop hurried sickness. We have panic attacks when we misplace our phones, our brains race at night when we try to fall asleep, we walk fast, talk fast, drive fast. But what does Jesus want for us? What does He offer to His disciples? What is this gift of "rest" that God has given us and how do we use it? Let's discuss.

Tucked inside each one of us is a little Tom as we all struggle with doubt. Thomas struggled with doubt, but Jesus invited him to overcome it. Jesus knew about it, and it didn’t threaten him or anger him. After encountering Jesus, Thomas’ doubt melted as he said, "My lord and my God." Jesus said, "Blessed are you Thomas, but blessed are those who don’t see and believe."

Good Friday matters. What you believe matters. Listen by yourself or with family as Rich helps us to see, hear, feel and believe what really happened on the day Jesus died...Sunday is coming.

Matt and Gina Whisler are some of the kindest people you'll meet here at Fern Creek. Their love for worship, their passion for community and each other, and their dedication to family will inspire you. Listen to their story and what Fern Creek means to them!

Jesus knew what His last words would be. "Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit." A bedtime prayer that became Jesus' last words encourages us to surrender everything we are to God. His hands are powerful, loving and secure. 

We can't always understand why something happens or doesn't happen. We can't always deal with a "no" . But warriors surrender control to the One who is already in control. Warriors trust God's plan even that plan isn't clear in the moment. Listen in on the last message of our Warrior series.

When we make mistakes, we have a choice to reach up or reach out. Job 14 says we only live a few days and have lots of trouble. Looking at the life of David, we see that God doesn't always deliver him from pain, but He delivers David through pain.

The life of David helps us tackle some of the major questions about how we follow Jesus. Truth is – we're all sinners, and we are all bound to make a bad choice at some point in our lives. As we turn to 2 Samuel 12, we can look at Nathan's confrontation of David and learn that God calls us to repent of our sins and find life in Christ. 

Jason and his family recently joined our church, and interestingly, Jason came to Fern Creek after stepping down as a lead pastor here in Louisville. He has amazing insight into the heart of ministry, family, and how to be effective in making disciples. Meet Jason Aabye.
