Dear Faith Community Church Family, In John 15:5, Jesus gives us a beautiful picture of our relationship with Him. He is the true vine, and we are the branches. Our life, strength, and fruitfulness come from abiding in Him. This picture comes to mind when I think about how God is helping our church sprout a new branch in the form of Faith Nations Fellowship. The last two…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, Reconciled in Christ, to be blameless before the Father. Or, in the language of Romans, vessels to showcase God’s glory. As Pastor Rhett returns to our Captivated with Christ series in Colossians this Sunday, he’ll explore more of this idea of how Christ reconciled us to God in Colossians 1:21-23. I want us to ponder this question: what…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, Four years ago, in September of 2022, we launched our Called to Flourish three-year vision. Our vision theme passage was Ezekiel 17:22-24, a prophecy of the coming Christ. In these verses the Messiah is described as a small sprig taken from a cedar and planted on a high mountain. The tender plant grows into a flourishing cedar where…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, Any day now, the leaves will start to turn to officially starting the fall season. They prepare for the winter as a time to lie dormant, waiting for the warmth of the spring to signal new buds and branches to form. Trees don’t have branches to see the sunlight, nor do they have leaves all the time to know that the spring sun has…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, Our fall ministry kickoff, Vision Sunday, is quickly approaching! We are excited to have Pastor Rhett back in the office and his family back in worship with us, and we are ready to begin our sermon series, Captivated, in the book of Colossians this Sunday. Our sermon text is Colossians 1:1-2, and Pastor Rhett will give us an…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, Over the last several months we’ve been traveling through the book of Exodus, and this Sunday we come to the climactic moment when the Lord’s presence descends upon the tabernacle. Every chapter in the book has been contributing to this pivotal event in Israel’s history–the Lord himself dwelling among his people. What…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, This Sunday, we continue our series The Lord is My Strength with Exodus 32. Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen the Lord’s great attention to His worship, that His tabernacle would be adorned with all kinds of beauty to reflect some small amount of His glory. Imagine walking into a palace interior that was all somehow inside of…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, Last fall, during our Path to Discipleship series, I preached on this verse from Romans 8: “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (vv. 32) Our Lord does not withhold anything from his people that would bring him glory and be to their…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Get ready to press the fast forward button this week in our Exodus series! This Sunday, our prayer ministry intern, Lawrence Owinya, will share from Exodus 25-27 and 35-40. These passages include regulations about all the temple decorations and the people’s contributions for the temple, and many of our earnest efforts to read through Scripture…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Our God is a covenant-making, covenant-keeping God. Psalm 105 says, “He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations” (v.8). Even though we often fail to be faithful to our covenant Lord, he remains steadfast in his commitment to his covenant people. This Sunday we will focus on Exodus…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, God be praised for a wonderful prayer seminar this past weekend with A Praying Church and the C.S. Lewis Institute. Let us also praise Him for how He has worked in our church to make us a people of kingdom prayer, and let us continue to dig deeper routes of prayer for every facet of our lives!   This Sunday, we continue our sermon…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, The Praying Church seminar is just a few days away! This Saturday, Keith Grant from SeeJesus will share with us what God’s Word teaches about the importance of prayer for the entire church, and he’ll show us what it looks like to put it into practice within our congregation. This seminar combines biblical teaching on prayer…

Dear Faith Community Church Family, He is risen! (I assume you said, “He is risen, indeed!” to your screen in response) Our Lord is not dead but is alive and lives forever, seated on David’s throne to rule over us. In Him we died to our sins, and in Him we rose to everlasting life! Recount to yourself that great salvation that was given to you by free grace and not by any…
