FIVE39 Church

It doesn’t take long to realize how much we care about what other people think. We all know the feeling of wanting to be noticed, appreciated, or recognized. Even when we do the right thing, there can be a quiet desire in our hearts for someone else to notice us. Jesus sees our struggle and invites us to something far better. In Matthew 6:1–4, Jesus warns us not to practice our righteousness to be...

Most of us live within certain circles in our lives. We have relational circles, family circles, and even political and theological circles. Inside those circles are the people we love, trust, and protect. In other words, they are the people we let in. But outside those circles, if we are honest, are people we avoid or ignore—people we don't want in our circle. Jesus walks into our lives and o...

This week, we continue our series on Jesus’ Sermon, talking about the topics of oaths and retaliation. As we are learning throughout this series, Jesus’ words are anything but easy! Throughout Matthew 5–7, Jesus’ words are intentional, direct, and yet loving at the same time. So far in our series, Jesus has laid out the Beatitudes (5:3–12), taught on being salt and light (5:13–16), made known that...

This week we continue our series on Jesus' Sermon, talking about the topics of lust, sexual sin, divorce, and remarriage. It still bothers me that when we have crowds of people, we tend to talk about the “easier” topics, yet Jesus brings some of His most difficult teaching to them. I want to be more like Jesus; of that, I’m sure. Jesus will make sure no one escapes, and no one gets to point th...

This week, we continue looking at the greatest sermon ever preached as we look at the topic of… anger. Jesus knows us so well and knows what is in our hearts. The most dominant and common emotion people experience is probably anger. What Jesus says in this portion of His sermon is tough. Hands down, this week and next week contain some of the most challenging passages for us to apply to our lives....

What an amazing season we’re in as a church. Seeing so many people give their lives to Jesus as we study His words has brought so much joy to my heart! This week we continue our study and look at just four verses where Jesus tells us why He didn’t come, and why He did. Our reasons for following Jesus might not actually be what we need. Jesus brings clarity about the Law and about Himself. This mes...

This week we continue our series looking at what Jesus tells His disciples about who they are. We live in a very confused day where everyone is trying to figure out who they are. Most people are looking within themselves or to culture to define them. But we’re going to look to Jesus and let Him tell us who we are. Real meaning and purpose are closer than we think. Jesus will show us His Plan A to...

This Sunday we begin our summer-long series through the greatest sermon ever preached: the words of Jesus in Matthew 5, 6, and 7. It is rich, challenging, and calls us to deeper obedience as His followers. At this early point in His ministry, Jesus’ fame is spreading, but He doesn’t collect fans — He calls followers to live in allegiance to His authority. I’ll be honest with you: there are some ha...

Some of the deepest wounds we carry are not only about what happened to us, but who hurt us. We live in a broken world, but we also live in broken relationships. Betrayal, disappointment, conflict, and pain can leave marks on our hearts that are hard to move past. And when the pain runs deep, many of us find ourselves asking: Where was God in this? This Sunday, we will conclude our series on the l...

This Sunday we continue our series on the life of Joseph. This week will be the heaviest conversation we have had yet as we talk about how to find healing when we have been hurt . Joseph has faced many tests up to this point in his life, and this one is by far the biggest he will face: forgiveness and restoration. It has been a long time since he last interacted with his brothers. His dreams have...

This week we will continue in our series  “Meant for Good.” We have been studying the life of Joseph, and we will be in chapters 40 and 41 of the book of Genesis. The title of the message is “Pit to Palace.” Throughout these two chapters, we see that Joseph interprets dreams for a cupbearer, a baker, and King Pharaoh himself. These dreams and interpretations are extraordinary and life-changing for...

This week, we continue our series on the life of Joseph, looking at Chapter 39 with a message titled,  “Protected by His Presence.”  Often, we walk through the highs and lows of life and wonder, “Is God really with me?” If He is, why am I experiencing so much turmoil, temptation, and trial? God was with Joseph in a unique way, and it wasn’t shown in the absence of problems, but in the pit and the...

This Sunday, we begin a new teaching series in the book of Genesis, studying the life and character of Joseph, called  “Meant for Good.”  We will be looking at the circumstances Joseph encountered and how they shaped his life and centered it around the purposes of God. Genesis 50:20 reminds us that what others meant for evil, God meant for good. What if even the wrong things done to us had a purpo...

We are full of joy to be together this Easter as we celebrate the resurrected Christ! What an incredible opportunity for us to gather together on Saturday and Sunday to talk about the biggest and most significant event in human history. We will be looking at the rest of Luke 24:36–53 with a message titled “Too Good To Be True.” Jesus reveals himself to his followers, and they see him but still “di...

We’re one week away from Easter! We’ve been praying this series has been helpful for you as we seek to share Jesus with people in our lives. This Sunday, we will wrap up the series talking about relational and conversational evangelism with a message titled, “The 6 Mile Walk.” We will look at the 7 Mile Walk Jesus took, and yes, we’ll address why we are calling it the 6 Mile Walk. Everyone we talk...

This Sunday we continue our series talking about how to share your faith, specifically from an intellectual standpoint. God’s word is clear that we all should be ready to give a defense for the Hope we have in Christ. However, we must not be defensive . How do we answer real questions people are asking, meeting them where they are, and help them take their next step? What if someone doesn't be...

This Sunday we are continuing our series “ How Could They Know. ” One of the encouraging things we see in Scripture is that there are different types of evangelistic styles. What is evangelism? Evangelism simply means sharing Jesus with people who don’t know Him. Throughout this series, we are going to look at different styles people use to share the message of Jesus with others and invest in thei...

This Sunday will be special. Twice a year we pause our normal Sunday flow to hear stories from people in our church. We will also have baptisms! It will be a powerful time together! We’re kicking off a series, “How Could They Know,” based off of Romans 10:14. This series will focus on our family card and, more specifically, look at the 8 different evangelistic styles in Scripture. Everyone is call...

This week we wrap up our series with the most difficult sermon, looking at a very well-known, sad story in 2 Samuel 11, focusing on David, with a message  titled “The Sin No One Plans For.” Our hope and prayer for this Sunday is for some to come clean, for others to build guardrails, and to be reminded not to throw stones—“but for the grace of God, so go we all.” This story is packed with wisdom t...

This week we continue our series on marriage, looking at Ephesians 5:22–33 with a message titled, “A Godly Marriage.” How do we get and keep a godly marriage that serves as an example to others—what God designed and what we really want? It’s easy to have our own ideas of what we think will work for our marriage, to look to others’ advice, or to turn to the latest book on the topic. All can be help...

This Sunday we continue our series on parenting. If you have been a parent for more than five minutes, you understand that it doesn’t always go as planned. We often have plans when it comes to raising our children, but what we want, what the Lord wants, and what our children want often clash. We all know how challenging parenting is and can be, so we want to dedicate a Sunday not to giving an opin...

This week we continue our series, “Not According to Plan,” talking about singleness. Forty percent of adults in the church are single, which is not a problem—but many are very discontent, and that can be. Is it possible to be single and secure in the Lord? And does God’s Word give instruction on how singles are to live in today’s world? This Sunday we will focus on the theology of singleness. We w...

This Sunday we kick off a new five-week series, Not According to Plan. Most people have relationships that are broken, and you’d say, “It wasn’t what I planned.” When life doesn’t go as planned, what do you do? How does Jesus interact with people who feel too broken to worship or follow Him? You come as you are, with all your stuff. We will work through the story and see how powerful the interacti...

This week, we will continue our series in Daniel 3 with a very familiar story about three men confronted with a decision: bow the knee to an idol or worship the Lord. They resolve to hold to their convictions in a culture of compromise, choosing to worship regardless of the result, the attacks, who is (or isn’t) with them, and no matter how intense the heat becomes. There are so many lessons from...
