Luke 19:47-20:8

December 29, 2019

Do you take issue with authority?  The chief priest sure did.  They asked Jesus a question and he answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me…”  They had to ponder their answer, they knew they could not out wit Jesus.  Listen and learn about Jesus, the Beloved Son is uncompromising.

Christmas Hope for Life’s Chaos – Week 2

December 15, 2019

Is this a gloomy time of year for you or someone you know.  This would be a great opportunity to listen to Pastor Nate as he teaches through Isaiah chapter 9.  Yes, there is darkness in this world, maybe even in our hearts and minds.  Yet, the HOPE is realized in verses 6 & 7:  a Child is born and His name will be Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God.

Christmas Hope for Life’s Chaos – Week 1

December 8, 2019

Do you believe God is your King? That he came to save us all from our sins? That we do not have to live in fear? We are free to ask God, speak to Him, be in relationship with Him. We choose to obey because of our love for Him. Why have fear when we can choose to trust.  Listen as Pastor Nathan works through Isaiah 7:1-18.

The Sluggard

November 24, 2019

A sluggard is someone who is habitually lazy or inactive and does not take personal responsibility for his own life. The Bible condemns laziness and warns of the consequences of being a sluggard.  This week Pastor Nathan reminks us that Sluggards are called to action, to work hard to honor God with their lives. “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10).

II Timothy 3:10 – 4:8

November 10, 2019

This was a celebration Sunday in many ways.  We celebrated the ministry that Pastor Scott and Angie Parmenter had here at FBC.  Pastor Scott gave the church family and many friends a charge of Friendship. Friendship with God that last forever and through that friendship we learn how to be a friend to others.  Pastor Nathan taught from II Timothy that we are all called to tell our friends, family and others about the Love of Jesus Christ.
