We invite you to join us in a celebration of worship, christian fellowship, study and service. When you become a part of our exciting journey of faith, you will be encouraged, challenged and rewarded with renewed faith and power. Our culture at Faith Chapel Christian church is one of positivity, acceptance, and a general spirit of goodwill. Having “new life” isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we do. Live sermons at 10am SLT on Sunday mornings, & 4PM SLT Sunday evenings. Be sure to touch things and explore! Come be a part of our grand adventure!
Jack Hyles said " Do not ask for fears to be removed; ask for courage equal to the fears." God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). I believe every one of you have the potential to be great warriors for Jesus, and tonight I will explain why, and how you can make Satan tremble to think of you!
As Christians, we are in a spiritual battle of some sort on a daily basis. In warfare, battles are fought on different fronts, for different reasons, and with varying degrees of intensity. The same is true in spiritual warfare. Our spiritual battles and warfare are real, even though we cannot physically see the attacker. But, we can educate ourselves on how the battles are fought and how they impact our lives on a daily basis. This will be part 2 in this series, and it expands on what we learned last Sunday!
Being a part of God’s family reminds us that messy is ok. We don’t have to get our lives together before God accepts us. In the same way, we don’t have to fix our families for God to welcome us into his. The Church is messy, full of dysfunction. It’s also beautiful, full of more kindness and love than we could ask for.
Luke 14:31 “What king going to make war against another king sits not down first and consults whether he’s able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?” Christians today are woefully unprepared for battle in the spiritual realm. Today we will learn what is at stake in this battle, how we can fight a 'noble battle' on Jesus' terms, and what kind of power to expect in opposition. Sermon is in voice.

Today we take a look at Sin - that plague we have to deal with in our fallen world. I will explain today the origin of Sin, the effects of Sin, the nature of Sin, and the cure for Sin. To understand Salvation and our struggle with Sin we have to understand the forces we battle.
Spoiler: Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies during his short time on Earth. some recorded up to 1500 years before His birth. Let's review this astonishing phenomenon and gain a few insights on what they mean for us today and the future.
Yes. For the longer answer you'll have to come and listen :)

We all want to be happy. We all want happiness. Aristotle even called it the "greatest good". Let's look at how we, as Christians, can be filled with happiness, and keep that security and joy for eternity :)
This morning lets take a closer look at some common biblical words and stories (mostly around and about the time of Jesus' entry into his recorded ministry), and dig deep into their meanings and symbology. There are treasures that we'll dig up, play with, and take home - and if some of them don't give you chill bumps you better get checked later :P
We all bring gifts to celebrate the birth of the Christ child, but what did He bring us?
Over 2 millenia ago, a baby was born to a young carpenter and his wife from a small town in Israel. He only lived 33 years before he was tortured and killed by the Romans. Since then billions have followed his teachings, over 7 billion have been martyred for following him, and 100,000 and climbing are being killed yearly. This Sunday lets take a look at how a man from such a seemingly unassuming beginning could have such a powerful influence on mankind.
God created a perfect world for us, with cool people and neat things to do, but sin has stolen and obscured the good around us. Tonight we will review how to reclaim peace, and joy, and love.
1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; 3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
I can't overstate the damage those that by pride, poor understanding, and/or a desire to corrupt the Saints can do in a church and community. Come today and learn how to recognize and defend against those enemies of the Church and sound doctrine.
Tonight I will preach "topically" on a topic so many are distressed about. It's been a hard year. We thought we'd see better times just around the corner, but it looks to some like 2021 will be 2020s meaner sibling :P As Christians we all need to look at everything through the lens God gave us - Gods' Word. Let's take a good look tonight at current events and what it means to us.
Today lets' look at a huge misconception even among "bible scholars" about Christs Judgement Seat. If Jesus died to atone for all our sins - what's there to judge? Are we going to be stopped at "The Celestial Gates" and answer for all our deeds, good and bad, and then see which way the scales tip? I will clearly and definitively answer these questions and more today. Bring friends, they'll love you for it :)
Herods' Temple aka The 2nd temple, has huge significance in several major religions, besides being a fascinating story in it's own right. Come poke into all the corners and learn all about life in the 1st century. The Temple Mount holds several secrets to be found, many even I have just learned during this build! Come visit today! hop://login.digiworldz.com:8002/Faith/129/16/1509
The clearest place where we see the beauty of Christ is in his word, the Bible. That is why the Holy Spirit inspired the word, so that we could read the word and know Christ. The Spirit gives us eyes to see the beauties of Jesus that call joy up out of our hearts. Please join us at 6PM grid time at Faith Chapel.
The last few months we've covered justification, sanctification, adoption, atonement, propitiation, regeneration, and salvation - this week I have a treat! Glorification of the Saints (that's you!) for eternity. A lot of people will groan and say "Oh, eternity will be so boring" but they're wrong! Come hear this thrilling, informative sermon on our eternal destiny at 10am grid time!
Tonight we will look at mortal governments and how our actions and attitudes should reflect our new nature in Christ.
Jesus said ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again”’” (John 3:3-7). There are many interpretations of what this means among Christians. Let's look at what God tells us through scripture.
This year has been marked by tribulations all over the world. How are we, as Christians, to respond to these challenges? Lets look at what God tells us, in His Word. Expect a lively respectful discussion afterward.
Today we cover the doctrine of Adoption. God is committed to us. He has given us his name. He has made us his heirs, and solemnly pledged that as our heavenly Father, he will provide for us with the lavishness that befits his means as possessor of all the riches of glory (Philippians 4:19).
He has said, in effect, “From now on, you have nothing to worry about (Matthew 6:26). I will care for you (1 Peter 5:7), and if you do ever find yourself overtaken by anxiety, come and talk about it to me at once (Philippians 4:6–7). Always remember that I am your home, and that I will never disown you; and should you ever go astray, I will always take you back (Luke 15:20). My love will never let you go.”
Everywhere we see in the news and around us, natural disasters with increasing frequency, terrible hurricanes, massive fires consuming huge tracts of forest on every continent, social unrest, riots, senseless murders, even our own eventual and inevitable mortality - makes us wonder where is Gods' hand in all this, and is there a purpose? Tonight we find answers to this and more in Gods' Word.
Gods' Word is our anchor, our solace, it is our compass, and our defense. But do we listen? How do you hear the Word - with a hunger, with a desire to share with others? Matthew 7 says "The one who hears My Word and obeys it is like a man who builds his house upon the rock." Lets visit the Word this morning and establish our foundation on that Rock!
Even Jesus was tempted as shown in Mark 1:13 & Luke 4:1-13. Gods' Law is written on each of our hearts (Hebrews 4:15). So, and when a sinful temptation is introduced, our consciences immediately sense danger. But, the temptation itself is NOT the sin! Sin comes in when we yield to, or mishandle, that temptation. Tonight we will forge our weapons to deal with temptation properly. Bring fire :)
"As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:37) Compare the days of Noah with our modern times today and you'll notice the striking parallels. The parallels are astounding, and there is no doubt that God's judgment is not far off. Todays' message is about how Jesus was foreshadowed in the Flood narrative, and how the conditons today fit the prophecies. So let us pray that God will draw our hearts unto the things of the Spirit and free us from the bondage of corruption that holds the world in its grip. Todays service will be held at the Ark Exhibit! hop://login.digiworldz.com:8002/Faith/179/190/2010
