Fredericksburg Church

This morning we were blessed to have Pastor Isidor Bajic from Serbia. He first shared a bit about what he was doing currently in the Balkans and some history. But he is a pastor first and brought a powerful message about trusting God!

This week we finish up our series on how to develop the heart of a champion, or in our case, a heart more like Christ. Each week we have looked at different parts of the heart, this week is no different yet building upon the previous parts. What good is it if we ask God to help us see people the way He sees them and do nothing to help? What good is it if we have the ability to look at people throu...

As we continue our series, this week we are going to look at how spiritual growth strengthens our hearts and makes us more like Christ. We know we are supposed to keep growing spiritually as none of us have arrived or “made it.” There is always room for improvement! Think about it, are you close to God right now? Are you closer now than when you first found Salvation? What happens? How can we keep...

I think all Christians can understand the concept that we need Jesus in our lives. For years we have been taught that there is a God-sized hole in our heart that only He can fill. This week as we continue our series we will look at what else we need, or rather what else God has given us. God created us to worship Him, and He also created us to not be alone. We need other people, it is simply how w...

This week we start a new series called "Heart of a Champion." In this series, we are going to learn together how to develop this type of heart. Of course, who better to model this for us? Jesus! We will look at three stories of when Jesus encountered people and met their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. In order for us to move from a selfish heart to a heart that cares for other...

Today we finished up our series on Relationship goals. Too often we enter into our various relationships as a very casual thing. Casual friendships, casual boyfriends, and girlfriends. And eventually, a casual marriage. The problem is that if the relationship is just casual, what if that carries over to your faith? What if you are casual about your relationship with God. Or maybe you think of a re...

This week we are going to look at being mission-driven as one of our relationship goals. Remember we do not want what "normal" people have when "normal" is hurting, being afraid, divorced, broken, insecure. No, we want something different, better even. What is your mission? What is the mission that unites you as a couple? What drives your marriage, or your relationship?

This week are going to take a look at spiritual warfare. Why spiritual warfare in a relationship series? Simple, the Bible tells us that the devil wants to destroy our relationships. He wants to steal, kill, and destroy anything that God loves. This would include you and me. Knowing this, why do so many just ignore the devil and act like he isn't trying to destroy all your relationships? It&a...

Did you know that God never makes you feel shame and guilt? the Bible tells us that Jesus did not come to the world to condemn us but to save us. So why do we feel shame? Why do we feel guilty? Why do we feel like we are not good enough? The truth is that we are not good enough, at least not good enough to be redeemed in God's eyes, yet Jesus is more than enough! the Bible tells us that Jesus...

This week we finish up our series "Take Heart." It is important to know that you are part of God's A team, yes you! Often we don't think we are the answer or part of the plan, but over and over again Jesus tells us that we, you and me, will bring the gospel to the world. Remember you are uniquely made, uniquely placed, for unique situations.

This week we start a brand new series called "Relationship Goals." Weekly we will look at different concepts and things we can do to improve all our Relationships. Yes, this is a marriage series, yet it is for all your relationships. The first one up is being Christ-Centered. If you or your relationship isn't Christ-Centered, it's something else-centered. Are you the center? Yo...

This week we start a new series called "Take Heart!" What can you take heart in? Our Government? The News? Even yourself? The only person that will never let us down, the only one is Jesus! The Church is no longer our country's moral compass. Just a few decades ago when the church said something was wrong 90% of the people would agree. Those days are gone. We of course are not under...

Week of the special series by Austin Loza, Victory and Triumph of the Cross and in the Resurrection.

This week we look at the bulk of Jude, seeing the examples and reminders he provides Christians. The biggest is that there are consequences for your sin. Understand that he is not saying your sin will take away your Salvation. Scripture is very clear that once you accept Christ as your Lord, the price of sin is paid for (Romans 5:8). So he is not addressing you losing your salvation, but he is sta...

Jude gives some instructions to Christians to follow. These are not meant to be suggestions but rather the foundation of our Christian faith. Do you ever wonder what God's will is for you? While each of us has unique callings there are some universal things God tells us to do. For instance, we are to bring the Gospel or Good News to everyone we encounter. Jude even further describes the diffe...

Jude has been an awesome little book to study. It is full of so many amazing things. Remember Jude reminded us that we are to be on the lookout for false teachers, and false doctrines. These would not be obvious but sneaky. Because of this, we are to test everything. How does it hold up to the Bible? Do not be fooled by someone who attempts to take our eyes and hopes from the things that matter. T...

This week we start a new series called "Hey Jude!" Not that Jude from the Beatles, but one of the half-brothers of Jesus. He writes this letter to inform the people what it looks like to really follow Christ. What a Christian should look like. Not physically, not your hair, clothes, skin color, or body type. But more about the reasons why we should serve, love, and show compassion. This...

It is finished, or in Greek just one word, "Tetelestai!" This word has so many meanings, way more than 1 or 2, in this message you will find out the top 6. And then how each of the meanings is what Jesus meant when he shouted it! What should we do with this knowledge, how does it impact us? Tune and find out more!

This week we finish up our series Words from the Cross. Jesus shouts out "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" There is a LOT wrapped up in these last words, we will look at a few, one highlight is that Jesus "commits" or "trusts" even better and "entrusts" His spirit to God the Father. We need to trust God. Did you know that when you worry about som...

"I thirst." There is so much wrapped up in these words of Christ. For one, he was required to say this to fulfill one of the over 360 prophecies about the Messiah. But more importantly, He was teaching us once more that Christ is what we need more than anything in this world. Whenever you feel unfulfilled, empty, like something is wrong in your life...this is you being spiritually thirst...

Pastor Austin Loza is with us this week to bring us a message of assurance. That we can have confidence that we are covered by God.

Today we look at some words that might not seem as important at first glance. But we all know that nothing Jesus says isn't important! What do you do when you are in so much pain you do not want to keep going? How do you keep going? What do you do when it feels like God doesn't love you? Here is a hint, He loves you...nothing you can do will make Him stop loving you!

This week we look at the word substitution. In life substitutes are not usually a great thing, substitute chocolate? Seriously? Substitute meat? Gross! But God gives us an amazing deal with Jesus, His son became our substitute for sin. A price had to be paid, and He did it. Salvation cost you nothing, but it is far from cheap. What will you do with your salvation? What will you do to draw closer t...
