    The Church continued to grow

    The Active Church Acts 5:12-28 A little over thirteen years ago, the Elder Board of Living Faith Fellowship asked me to write an essay on my ideal Church. Part of what I wrote said, “The vision of the church is: We exist to bring Praise and Glory to our King, Jesus Christ. We do this by ...read more

     | 153 views

    The Sabbath anchors rest in Christ now, anticipates reunion at His coming, and proclaims God’s everlasting love as the universe’s theme.

    Let’s start with something I’ve noticed: for some reason, I must have a sign on my back that says, “Talk religion with me.” The other day I sat next to a fella in a little restaurant in town. We ordered our food, and before long he started telling me about his “spiritual journey.” He said he was ...read more

    Sermon 1 - God Knows What He Is Looking For Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 26, 2026
     | 137 views

    People need good role models to emulate. Although King David was far from perfect, he had many character qualities and strengths that are worth emulating. God knew what He was looking for when He chose David.

    Introduction A. Let’s start with a Peanuts cartoon about role models. 1. Rerun, Linus’ younger brother says to Snoopy: “Theoretically, my older brother should be my role model, but that blanket business takes care of that, which forces me to look elsewhere, and maybe ask the ...read more

    Life’s Dimensions James 4:13-17 13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.

    One thing we can be sure of, if the church is ever going to have an impact in the world, all we do must be surrounded by prayer.

    February 22, 2004 Morning Worship Text: John 17:20-26 Subject: Jesus’ Prayer for Believers Title: What Will It Take? I look back on our 2-½ years here at First Assembly and a lot of good memories begin to flood my mind. I think about the newlywed game at our first Christmas party and I laugh at ...read more

     | 17,114 views

    Some may look at the Christian life with its stresses and struggles and wonder if salvation is really worth it. But this message points out that what we have gained in salvation is well worth any struggles we might endure.

    Is Salvation Really Worth The Struggle? Text: Heb.2: 3; Ps.73: 1-24 Intro: The part of our text found in the book of Hebrews referred to salvation as ?great salvation.? The majority of the time probably most Christians would agree with that summation. However, there are times when we feel ...read more

    Just Say No Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,834 views

    Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

    We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more

    Sustaining Grace PRO Sermon

     | 142 views

    God’s grace meets us in our weakness, offering love, strength, and acceptance, empowering us to face life’s struggles with hope and courage.

    If grace had a face, I think it would be smiling at you today. Not a plastic grin, but the kind that crinkles the eyes and warms the room. The kind you long to see when the week has been heavy, the bank account thin, and your heart even thinner. Maybe you woke up with that familiar knot of worry. ...read more
