    We have all sinned, we all fall under God and we can't look down on anyone else. Those who follow the law are condemned by the law that they can't keep, those who follow their own standards fail their own standards. Yet, we are judged by the perfect Lord Jesus Christ and this also offers hope.Scripture:Romans 3:23, Romans 2:1-16Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

    When God Lets Go: The Danger of Rebellion

    May 12, 2025What happens when humanity trades the truth of God for a lie? Romans 1 paints a sobering picture of what it means when God gives people over to the desires of their own hearts. In a world full of idols shaped in our own image, we're reminded that God's wrath is not impulsive anger—but the righteous response to our willful rebellion. This message will challenge what you think about sin, culture, and the cost of rejecting the Creator for created things.Scripture:Romans 1:17-32Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

    Romans: Eager to Encourage

    Paul begins by thanking God for the Roman believers, whose faith was so vibrant it was known throughout the world—reminding us that gratitude and prayer must be the foundation of all Christian relationships and ministry. He emphasizes his deep desire to visit and encourage them, reflecting the mutual strengthening that comes through Christian fellowship and the shared pursuit of spiritual growth. Finally, Paul boldly declares the power and necessity of the gospel, for it alone reveals God's righteousness and offers salvation to all who believe—Jew and Gentile alike—by faith from start to finish.Scripture:Romans 1:8-16Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

    Habakkuk 1:1-4 - Confronting Generational Sin & Doubts

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 25, 2025 60:45


    In this intro to Habakkuk, we dive into the story of Judah's decline and the prophet Habakkuk's cry for justice. Habakkuk sees a world filled with violence and corruption, and his doubts about God's silence reflect the struggles many of us face when our experiences don't match what we know about God's promises. Is doubt a sign of weak faith? Or an opportunity for God to prove Himself; inviting us to trust Him despite our circumstances? We also confront the impact of generational sin—how issues like abuse, addiction, and anger can be passed down through the family line, and how through Jesus we have the power to break these cycles for generations to come.Scripture:Habakkuk 1:1-4

    Culture convinces us that to welcome someone means to "entertain" - to have the well arranged house, the right food, the mood lighting, the perfect music and vibe.In contrast, Jesus shows in the story of Zacchaeus that by leading from a place of humility and weakness we make space for the weakness of others. And it is in a moment of honest vulnerability and being seen and loved in their vulnerability that people come to truly and fully belong to a community. Scripture:Luke 19:1-10Luke 14:33Luke 16:9

He challenges us to align our priorities with the eternal perspective that transcends earthly struggles and ambitions. This call to live in light of eternity means our daily choices, attitudes, and relationships reflect the hope we have in Christ. As we pursue this higher calling, we remember that our labor is not in vain and that our Savior is at work within us, empowering us to shine His light in a dark world.Scripture: Philippians 1:27-2:18Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org
