Birthpangs: the signs of the coming future (Mark 13:5-6) Part 1
Are the eschatological birthpangs intensifying, bringing us closer to the final end? The first sign is religious deception. False doctrine is commonly embraced. More claim the authority of Christ. Major religions like Islam might be a major prelude to the deception of the end times–we may be closer than you think.
The Timing of the End (Mark 13:4)
Imagine living in the first century and having to describe a copy machine, or an iPhone. How limited are we in our understanding because we are bound by time and God is not? In this message, we are back in Mark 13:4 with the Olivet Discourse, this time exposing the timing of the end times, exposing from the Word why eschatology is such a difficult theology to understand, and then exposing which system of eschatology is the correct one and why.
Discipline and Parental Authority (Moms By Grace – Oct 2014)
Teaching for young moms, taught by Tracy Dodson.
Destruction is Coming (Mark 13:1-4)
“Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?” (Mark 13:4) Wouldn’t you love to know the future? Jesus said destruction would come, but when? Will it really be the end of the world, as we know it? What was Jesus saying? Listen to find out!
Wayward Students: Part 2
What do you do when one of the students in your home, your granddaughter, your best friend’s child, your “used to be walking with Christ” friend at school, or your girlfriend at youth group turns their back on Christ, walks away from the youth group, folds their arms at church, staring off in space with a scowl during worship as a defiant statement (because their parents make them come to church each week)? What if they say, “I no longer want Christ”? What do you do then? This message is for every Christian, as God desires all believers to impact others for Christ.
Wayward Students: Part 1
It has broken our hearts. Disobedience hurts, rebellion stings but rejecting Christ is absolutely agonizing, and churches–not merely FBC, but other healthy churches are also facing this pain in an ever increasing way. What is happening with our students…why are they not merely battling with obedience to the Word of God, but actually defiantly rejecting the Gospel and the faith of their parents who love them? This week and next, we will examine what the Bible has to teach on wayward children–the hopeful prevention and the helpful pursuit. No matter who you are, you will find this two-week series helpful if you have friends or family who continue to reject the Gospel.
Quiet Time and Training Your Little Ones (Moms By Grace – Sep 2014)
Lesson from Moms by Grace, taught by Beth Pleasnick.
What I Learned on Sabbatical
This summer, John had the opportunity to take a sabbatical, a chance to rest, spend extended time with his family, and study. While he was gone, he visited nine other churches, both in our area and in the northwest. He will encourage you, both personally and as a member of our church family, as he shares what he did on summer vacation.
Adoption: A Good Reason to Cry Abba! Father!
It is good to understand the doctrine of justification – God views us as if we had never sinned and gives us Christ’s righteousness instead. However, there is an even greater blessing that results from our salvation – we are adopted as God’s sons, made a part of His family, and given a personal relationship with God as our Father. Learn about all the benefits of this amazing blessing.
Two Unchangeable Things: A Study on the Immutability of God (Heb 6:17-18)
As we continue in our study of the attributes of God, this week we look at His immutability. The author of Hebrews is writing to people who were in very difficult circumstances, and he encourages them (and us) to have hope in the unchanging nature of God’s promises and God’s nature.
