Fountain of Life Church - Sunday Gathering

Look at the setting of Jesus Feeding the 5000 in Matthew 14, and how it helps to give insight into experiences we face while following Jesus. This includes simultaneous realities of grief and glory, the practical and miraculous, and faithfulness and faith."

When something wildly improbable happens once, we call it luck. Twice, maybe coincidence. But again and again, with perfect precision? That demands a deeper explanation. In Jesus, we don’t just see a good man or a wise teacher—we see over 300 specific prophecies written centuries before His birth foreshadowed and fulfilled. This isn’t chance. It’s divine design. It’s not just about proving a point...

This message highlights how Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, fulfilled ancient prophecies through His sacrificial death. From Exodus to Isaiah, every shadow pointed to the cross. His blood didn’t just cover sin—it conquered it. We’re invited to not just remember the cross, but to respond to it with our lives.

In this message, we looked at Zechariah’s prophecy about a humble King riding into Jerusalem and how Jesus fulfilled it exactly, down to the donkey. Just like Kirk Gibson’s unexpected home run in 1988, Jesus came through in the clutch. But the story isn't finished—He’s coming back. If you're keeping score, that's two for two and He's still batting a thousand!

From the beginning of humanity’s fall, God promised to redeem us. In Genesis 3:15, He foretold that a descendant of Eve would crush the serpent’s head—foreshadowing Jesus’ victory over sin. What God foreshadowed, He fulfilled. Jesus took the serpent’s strike on the cross, crushing sin’s power and making us children of God. That makes Him "One for One"—batting a thousand and faithful to every promi...

For 50 years, our church has been built by those who laid aside their own ambitions to build the house of the Lord. But the work isn’t finished! In the book of Haggai, God called His people to stop delaying, prioritize His house, and get to work. Today, that same call is on us—it’s time to build!

In this message, we explored the danger of living a spiritually divided life—one where we compartmentalize faith rather than integrating it into every aspect of our lives. True transformation happens when the presence of God permeates our words, deeds, and daily environments. When we stop separating the sacred from the secular, God’s presence flows to us and through us!

In this message, we explored how pursuing God requires laying aside every unnecessary weight. Just as “thru-hikers” on the Appalachian Trail undergo a “shakedown” to remove excess weight, we must release the burdens that hinder our spiritual walk. Jesus invites us to come to Him, learn from Him, and exchange our heavy burdens for His light and life-giving yoke so we can effectively pursue Him.

In the parable of the prodigal son, we see how pride distorts our vision and hearing, leading us away from our proper position under the Father’s presence. The younger son’s journey teaches us the five stages of repositioning: humility, ownership, repentance, returning, and reunification. When we humble ourselves before God, acknowledge our sin, and take intentional steps to return to Him, we expe...

In chapter 7, Tozer offers a simple way to practice faith: gaze at God. Turn your gaze away from worldly things and toward God. In this sermon, we will explore the gaze through Scripture. Then we'll put it into practice using an ancient Christian practice called Visio Divina, which is Latin for divine seeing.

God did not just speak, but He is speaking. The voice of God continues to reverberate His will throughout the universe, but most of us have zoned out. So how do we hear the ever-speaking voice of God?

The bible teaches us that when Jesus was crucified there was an earthquake and the veil in the temple was torn in two, signifying granted access to the Holy presence of God. Yet, many continue to anxiously wander on the wrong side of the veil instead of entering the rest that is only found in God's presence. So, what's keeping us on the wrong side of the veil?

Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit." A.W. Tozer suggest that the "poor in spirit" are the ones who "have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing." Today we join Abraham on His journey of this uprooting process that God preformed within his heart, and we consider what blessings God has in store for those of us who are willing to embrace the...

Moses walked with God in a way that was unique to Him. No one else during His time had such a level of intimacy with God. But rather than be satisfied, Moses was determined to Pursue even more of God's presence. What if the greatest obstacle to a closer relationship with God is your satisfaction? God rewarded Moses for his ongoing pursuit, and it remains His desire that we do the same.

Jesus said that his Church is the "Light of the World!" That is a powerful statement. That means that if the light of Christ has been revealed to us, God wants it to also be revealed through us!

One of the things we love about Christmas is the community we share with loved one's as we gather around a lighted tree. However, it's the hurt from certain relationships that can cause us to continue wandering in darkness.

AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR, WE LIKE TO FOCUS ON NOSTALGEA, BUT SOMETIMES IT’S THE DARKEST EVENTS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO WHO WE ARE TODAY. IT’S EASIER TO RECOGNIZE THE GOOD THAT CAME OUT OF THOSE TIMES ONCE YOU’VE SEEN HOW THEY PLAY OUT, BUT ITS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO MAKE SENSE OF IT WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. WHAT DARK CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU FACING TODAY THAT GOD WANTS TO USE FOR GOOD? PER...

2,000 years ago, the Light of the World stepped into the darkness. He continues to Shine his light today, but many are resistant to the light because the pain they have experienced in the dark. This Christmas, believe that He can shine His light even in the darkest parts of your life.

We've all done some stupid things because we accepted a dare, but when God issues the dare, its guaranteed to turn out for the best. The only time we see God issue a dare, it's in the context of giving. He dares us to give because he wants to reveal His character and pour out His blessing. What does God want to do in response to your "daring generosity?" Come on! I Dare You to Give!

Nothing wakes us up and causes us to move with purpose and urgency like a realization that time is short! In 1 Peter 4:7 it says, "The end of the world is coming soon!" So how should we live, knowing that time is short? Serve like it's the end of the world!

A common cause a Christian not operating in generosity is when they view the tithe as a cap rather than a catalyst.

The human condition keeps many of us from experiencing the joy of generosity because we are pursuing a "full" life instead of the life that Jesus came to bring, a life that is "Running Over."

Over the past couple of weeks, we have learned that we must wake up to the reality of spiritual warfare and know who we are in Christ Jesus. Today, we take the next step. We step onto the battlefield! Tune in to learn "How To Fight!"

There are some things that the Lord has pre-destined just for you that our adversary, the devil, does not want us to have. It is one of God's mysteries, and it has always been there for you to see, on the Third Row!
