Fielder Church Sermons

Because we don’t care about the lost, we aren’t willing to do anything to help them find the saving grace of God. If we have been redeemed by God’s glorious grace, all we can do is help others find that same grace. God is calling us to go and prepping those we will go to. All we need to do is say “yes” to taking steps toward His mission. New to Fielder? https://www.fielder.org/connect Questions or...

When God calls us to move in hard directions, we often go in the opposite direction to avoid discomfort or danger and suffer the consequences of our disobedience. We’ve all gone the wrong way in life, but Christ took the suffering of our consequences (3 days in the belly) so that we could have a second chance to obey. Now we must obey wherever He calls us to go to do whatever He calls us to do. Ne...

We tend to make piecrust promises to God, they are easily made and easily broken. Jesus fulfilled God’s covenant. He kept all the words of the law, and he kept the promises that the Israelites couldn’t keep, and then shed his blood to cover their sin and make them clean. Jesus is the fulfillment of this passage. He died fulfilled every piecrust promise that we made to God. Our broken promise of ob...

We often doubt God’s promises and rely on our own power rather than rely on God’s power. This produces a fragmented allegiance to God. We trust him in some areas and not in others. The gospel teaches us that God made a new covenant that promises a new land delivered through his presence on this earth. A new heaven and a new earth coming through the power of his son Jesus. Because of Jesus we can t...

God always gets the last of our time, the last of our attention, the last of our possessions, and the last of our affections. And we wonder why we suffer from the last of His blessing. God gave His best to us, and all He asks is that we follow His example and give Him what He deserves, the best of our time, attention, possessions, and affections.

We are so incredibly selfish that we naturally look to our own interests first before the interests of others. This world’s way is completely antithetical to God’s way. Jesus showed us what to value. We are supposed to “in humility count others more important that ourselves, like Christ did for us when he died on the cross. When we put the interests of the weak, the vulnerable, and even our enemie...

Our sin and mistreatment of others has created a debt both to man and God that we cannot ever repay. We can make no restitution. Because our sin was so great and our condemnation so certain, Christ had to come pay the cost of restitution so we could be set free from our debt to God and others.

We tend to believe that it is only what we do that defines who we are. Intentions of the heart don’t matter, only the actions that we take. Every action flows out of an overflow of the heart. What we do matters, but God cares most about our heart being yielded to him so that as image bearers we can honor and protect the dignity of each image bearers life. God loves people and he gave each person t...

The moment we forget the pain of our past and God’s redemption, we begin to create pain for others around us. God values humanity enough to send His Son to die in order to free them from slavery to Satan. As such, He doesn’t support any institution that enslaves men. He works in broken society to protect His prized possession, human beings. New to Fielder? https://www.fielder.org/connect Questions...

We fail to worship God rightly when we don’t know how God wants to be worshipped. God is holy, and He desires our worship to be set apart from how the world defines worship. God alone has the right to determine how He wants to be worshiped. He has shown us that He alone is worthy of worship, and in response to the sacrifice of the Son, we are to worship Him with a simple and pure sacrifice – our l...

Because we don’t understand the image of God that people bear, we don’t honor them like we should. We cannot honor God unless we honor those who bear His image. Every human being is created in the image of God and therefore deserves the honor of that identity. Yet, we humans fail to reflect the perfect image of God as we mistreat others in deference for ourselves. Christ was the only perfectly obe...

Because we don’t trust that God will provide for us, we don’t ever rest from our work long enough to let Him. We are ragged and cursed because we don’t receive the blessing of abundance God wants to give. The sabbath is a gift to God’s people that shows God’s power, God’s provision, and God’s care. We must learn to let God do what only God can do, a truth that helps us understand and live out the...

We tend to think too lightly of who the Lord is. We are so easily drawn to things that can serve our purposes, rather than living in a way that serves God’s purposes. Jesus sacrificed himself to bring us out of the slavery of our sins. The highest form of agape love. He gave us what we needed the most, when we deserved it the least, at great personal cost. Receiving his love through belief in the...

Our tendency is to wander away from God, not stay close to Him. The church can die off in one generation if we don’t invest in the next, helping them learn the goodness and power of God. And sadly, far too many adults don’t take that mantle seriously. Christ didn’t just die to redeem his people so they could quietly drift off into heaven. He died to redeem them for a purpose, to be salt and light...

We know how to say the right things but all tend to struggle following through with our commitments to God. We can talk the talk but we struggle at walking the walk. God made a covenant with Israel that they were unable to fulfill. They said they would do whatever he said, but they were unable to do it.  Because of his holiness we should be eternally separated from him, having no way to have...

We mistakenly think only a few people have the capacity to lead us spiritually, so we turn down help from capable people who could shepherd us and instead seek help from the few “professionals.” Christ didn’t just save believers from their sin but he also sent them his own Spirit to live in them. Because of this, your spiritual needs can be met by any person of integrity who has the Spirit, not ju...

When it comes to telling stories about our lives we tend to focus on ourselves.  Either the direness of our circumstances or the greatness of our victories. The gospel compels us to share stories of God’s saving power, provision and goodness.  When we are willing to share our stories God can use them to draw others to himself.       New to Fielder? https://w...

We tend to put more value in our work for God than the work of God himself, which leads to prayerless and powerless lives. The greatest work we can do is the work of prayer. It is what we do on the mountaintop in prayer, not what we do on the battlefield with our hands that leads to victory in our lives. We prevail by prevailing in prayer, because the battle and the victory belongs to the Lord. &n...

We constantly put God to the test to see if He is worthy of our devotion even though He’s proven His worth 1,000 times over. We are hesitant to trust Him until we get what we want and thus we rarely get what we need. Christ is the Rock who was struck to bring us living water to satisfy our deepest thirst. He is worthy of our faith and devotion right now. We just need to come to him to get what we...

We tend to seek life on our own and always find death. Life is found when we acknowledge that it is given and not taken. We need to submit to God as he governs and sustains us through the bread of life, Jesus. New to Fielder? https://www.fielder.org/connect Questions or Need Prayer?

We tend to look to earthly things to provide for us and satisfy us. God is willing to take us to a place of desperation to teach us that only he can provide for us. No earthly thing can provide life for us, we must be dependent on him to provide life for us. The Father sending his son is the greatest act of provision from God. He took the bitterness of the death we deserved to bring us into the sw...

When we forget who our God is, we take our own battles into our own hands, and our pride destroys us in the process. Our God has already won the victory. The cross and resurrection proved it. There is no one like our God. The only right response to a God like ours is to worship Him and serve Him. New to Fielder? https://www.fielder.org/connect Questions or Need Prayer?

We can’t find a place of thriving because we don’t feel safe and at rest. We are missing the shepherd’s staff and rod to bring us and keep us in that place. Christ is our place of safety and rest. When we find life in Christ, we begin to thrive. But we need shepherds to help us stay in Christ because we tend to wander off.

Our sin tendency is to choose the path of worldly comfort which makes us self-centered and eventually leaves us harassed and helpless. Because of that, we miss the harassed and helpless around us if we don’t let the gospel compel us to submit to the good shepherd who calls us out of our comfort zone into the kingdom zone. The gospel meets us in our helpless and harassed state and teaches us to be...

Our sin tendency is to hide even when we are in plain sight. We can be surrounded by people and completely unchanged by the relationships if we don’t let the gospel break us down and call us into reconstructive relationships. The gospel teaches us that we don’t have to hide. Our salvation is secure by Christ’s perfection, not ours. We can be known, taught, challenged, and sent if we would just let...
