Have you ever sat through the credits after a movie and see how many people it takes to make a movie happen? God’s church is not that different. It’s not always convenient, but God has designed His people to be contributors to the mission that He has given to the local church.
It’s one thing to know the Gospel, but it’s another thing to live it out. For the first week of this series, we take a deeper look at how we can live out the great commission by finding our ONE.
As we conclude this Summer series, we hear from Pastor Peggy about the power and potential of our words. Many passages in Proverbs references the responsibility we have to control what we say.
This week's dive into the book of Proverbs focuses on the topic of anger. Anger isn't a bad thing, but it takes godly wisdom to mange it well and harness it for good.
Pastor Jim shares with us a plan to help us not fall into foolish behavior. We are all vulnerable to temptations and addictions that can allure and trap us into narrow wells. Godly wisdom however can save us from following a path of destruction.
This week our guest speaker Dr. Dee McDonald encourages us to put our faith into action. God calls us to be looking for tangible ways to show kindness and compassion. When our hearts and perspectives have been changed by God people will notice by our engagements with others.
Pastor Jim talks about King Solomon and the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is to revere God. He wants love to motivate us and not fear. However, a healthy portion of Godly fear turns into Godly wisdom that can help us to make complicated decisions.
Everyone has the choice to stay on the right path and to follow Jesus. However, many people have chosen the wrong path or have been given the wrong directions in life. They have received messages from movies, advertisements, social media and many other sources that led them to feel lost and hopeless. It is important for us to share wisdom and knowledge to the next generation so they are not lost and directionless. It is the job of the church to partner with parents for the right path. No one has to through it alone.
The writer of Ecclesiastes writes that there is a time for everything and today we talk about the importance of balancing work, play, and worship in our lives.
The world doesn't want us to follow God's wisdom. However, God wants us to trust Him to guide our lives. He wants us to seek and appreciate His wisdom. Wisdom will make life less complicated and sometimes a little easier. We can go to the Bible for guidance as it offers us truth to help us make good decisions.
We can't stop and we won't stop reaching the world for Christ. As a part of our community, we should be the loving presence of Jesus. We are all missionaries and are here to reflect the love and grace of God to others.
We can't stop and we won't stop reaching young families. Families are a godly structure that is so critical to the fabric of our society. God wants to help families thrive so that they can make an impact in their communities for Jesus.
As our fiscal year comes to a close, we want to spend an entire Sunday praising God and celebrating how He has used Faithbrook over the last year! Thank you to everyone who has partnered with Faithbrook to lead people into a new and thriving life in Christ.
As we close out this series on the life of Joseph, Pastor Peggy discusses how we can follow in Joesph's footsteps by choosing to finish strong.
As we approach the end of Joseph's story, we see that he has a big decision to make about his family that betrayed him. Pastor Eric walks us through his decision to seek revenge or to seek forgiveness.
Joseph went from the dungeon to his God-given destiny. He's a great example of how God wants us to live when we are blessed with success.
Joseph obeyed and honored God, but yet he finds himself betrayed and in a dungeon. To cap it off, he gets forgotten about after he does a good deed. Sometimes you're dealt a hand that leads to a dungeon, but that doesn't mean that God has forgotten you.
As soon as Joseph seems to be doing well in Egypt, he faces even more trials that will test his faith and his integrity. This week, Pastor Jim talks about how we can run from temptation that wants to take us down.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation that we didn't want and didn't ask for. This week, we look at what Joseph did and talk about how God wants us to approach these challenges in life.
This series follows the life and story of Joseph who went through so many challenges, but stayed faithful to God through it all. It's not about the hand you're dealt, but what you do with it.
