Lent :: Tempted and Tried
Our Lenten series begins with Jesus in the wilderness, facing the temptations that will lead Him all the way to the cross. Jesus was tried and tempted and emerged victorious. Given at FCC by Pastor Jon on 2/22/26.

Unity and division are both the product of the presence of something or someone that unifies or divides. Paul is greatly concerned that factions and divisions have formed around personalities instead of unity in Christ. Given by Pastor Jon at FCC on 1/25/26.
Grace :: The Kingdom Is Near
When Jesus began His ministry, his first words were to repent, that the Kingdom is near, and that the most natural response is to simply follow Jesus. Given by Pastor Lloyd Gilbert on 1/26/26.
Grace :: Seeking
The first words of Jesus is a question: what do you want? Or, perhaps, what do you seek? Given by Pastor Trey on 11/18/26.

Advent :: Light in the Darkness
Christians ought not be surprised by the presence of darkness, for it is in the darkness that the light shines brightest. Isaiah has long stretches of bad news before the light of hope bursts through. Given by Pastor Jon on 12/07/25.

We Live in Time :: Sabbath
We are to remember the Sabbath and to keep it holy. After God made the world, He rested. What did that mean for God and what does that mean for His people? Given by Pastor Jon on 11/02/25.
Disorientation :: Clothed with Immortality
Does the New Testament tell us how to go to heaven when we die or paint a picture of heaven coming to us? The story of redemption is the promise that God will come and remake the world through the bodily return of Jesus. Given by Pastor Jon on 10/26/25.
Disorientation :: The Death of Moses
God tells Moses that his time was up and he ascends a mountain for God Himself to bury him. But first He shows Moses the Promised Land. Given by Pastor Jon on 10/19/25.
