FOGA Sermon - Wk1.jpg

Sermon by Adam Gibson on August 22, 2021.

Why should we trust God in the first place? Why should we believe him? The good news is we aren’t the first people to ask that question and in fact, God himself expected that question. In this week's sermon we’ll look at Deuteronomy 6:20-25 where God predicts and answers this very question.

Following Jesus Together: Gathering | People of the Table | August 15

Sermon by Adam Gibson on August 15, 2021.

In Luke 22:14-20 Jesus institutes the sacrament of communion to His disciples. Now we don’t know what all they understood at this point, but this was a category breaking event. This was no normal Passover meal. Jesus says He is starting a new covenant, a new way of relating to God the Father. And every week when we gather, we participate to remind ourselves of this reality.

Following Jesus Together: Gathering | People of the Word | August 8

Sermon by Adam Gibson on August 8, 2021.

The average sermon is 40 minutes in length. So if you were to attend each Sunday, the total cumulative time spent listening to sermons in a year would be 36 hours. Taking that in account, what are you hoping will happen as a result of that time? Why spend so much time having someone teach you from the Bible each and every week? More broadly, why is one of the focal points of our time together reading from, explaining and applying a 2000+ year old collection of literature?

To answer that, we’ll look at a handful of passages including 2 Timothy 3, Hebrews 4, Titus 2, and Luke 8.

Sermon by Jake Blair on August 1, 2021.

Our world has changed significantly in the last year and a half. With Covid, people’s perceptions have mutated on a large scale when it comes to all sorts of things. Perhaps one of the most noticeable questions that followers of Jesus are asking is, “How should I spend my Sunday morning?”

For this week we’ll be answering the question - Why do we gather every week and why does it matter?

Sermon by Kent Bateman on July 25, 2021.

In Philippians 4:10-20, Paul concludes his letter with gratitude to the Philippian church. They came to his aid when he needed it the most. As he wraps up, two themes rise to the top: the secret of contentment and the blessing of giving.

Sermon by Jake Blair for July 18, 2021.

While we aren’t in total control of our circumstance, we have within us the ability to cultivate the type of people we want to become. So how do we do that? In Philippians 4:8-9, Paul shows us in practical ways how we can anchor joy down into our bones.

Philippians | An Unsinkable Joy | July 11

Sermon by Allen Tipping for July 11, 2021.

Philippians 4:6-7 states to "Rejoice always. Don’t be anxious about anything." A verse like this oftentimes is posted to social media feeds in an artsy graphic as it seems like good advice for our virtual world. Yet beyond the screen, applying this scripture to the realities of life can sometimes seem impossible or at least incredibly difficult. In today's sermon, we learn how to put this into practice and make it possible to live by.

Following after Jesus can be hard. It takes work. No one stumbles into godliness, but it is a disciplined pursuit often full of sacrifice and suffering. In today’s passage, we'll see why we need to hold on to Christ, how we need to hold on to Christ and examples of what it looks like to hold on to Christ.
