Podcasts about Fellowship Church

Do you trust God? Is God even trustworthy? These are two of the most important questions a person can ever ask, and they are the questions Jay and George are discussing today. Listen to the guys talk about Abram as he learns of the absolute trustworthiness of God. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner.

Pastor Garry Clark continues his Christmas series on PRAYER! In this message he'll look at a person rarely talked about in the Christmas Story! The Man's name was Simeon, and his actions and prophesies were so important to the Christmas Story!

Eyes on the Lord | A Sunday Devotional2 Chronicles 20:1–22In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat faces a moment where fear closes in and the future feels uncertain. His response is simple and faithful. He seeks the Lord. He trusts who God is. He admits his weakness. He fixes his eyes on the Lord and not on the size of the threat.At the heart of this passage is a prayer that many of us know well: “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” This is not a prayer of defeat. It is a prayer of faith.As we step into 2026, this devotional reminds us that we need more than good intentions, discipline, or strength. We need Christ. Jesus is the true and better King who fought the battle we could not fight and secured our salvation through the cross. Because of Him, the Spirit of the Lord is with us and goes before us.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

December 24, 2025 • Devon Accardi • Luke 2:8-14This Christmas Eve message turns our attention to Luke 2 and the surprising way God chose to announce the birth of Jesus. Instead of kings, politicians, or cultural elites, the first people to hear the news were ordinary shepherds working the night shift. The angel declares that a Savior has been born, and this good news is for all people, reminding us that no one is beyond God's invitation. The birth of Jesus shows us a God who comes near to the overlooked and the unsure, offering Himself not only as Savior, but as Shepherd, security, and peace. The gospel does not simply tell us how and where Jesus was born, but why He came: to lead, protect, redeem, and make us whole. Whether we come to Christmas weary, joyful, skeptical, hurting, or hopeful, the invitation remains the same. A Savior has been born, and He is Christ the Lord.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Pastor Garry Clark continues his Christmas series on prayer. In this message he'll look at Joseph in the Christmas Story, and what we should be doing to follow his example in making God true in our hearts, minds, and Christian walk. He was a good man reacting to a tough situation!

In Week 4 of Advent, we reflect on the love that finds us: a love that sent Jesus not to condemn, but to save. Looking in John 3 and 1 John 4, this message invites us to receive God's fully knowing, fully loving grace and to live it out as peacemakers, reconcilers, and servants in an unhurried, tangible way.

The Word Becomes FleshDecember 21, 2025 • Devon Accardi • Luke 2:1-21This Sunday, Devon reflects on the birth of Jesus as the long-awaited fulfillment of God's promises. This passage invites us to zoom out and see Christmas not as an isolated moment, but as the culmination of a story God has been unfolding since the very beginning of creation. After centuries of waiting and even four hundred years of silence, God enters the world quietly, not with spectacle, but as a newborn child laid in a manger. The incarnation reveals a God who does not merely visit humanity, but takes on flesh, dwells among us, and stays with us in our weakness, suffering, and pain. Jesus becomes fully human so that He might truly rescue us, sympathize with us, and ultimately give His life in our place. The birth of Christ is not only the beginning of the story, but the first movement toward the cross and resurrection, where salvation is secured. Christmas reminds us that God has come near, kept His promises, and made a way for us to belong to Him forever.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Welcome back to HSM Reads the Bible: The Podcast! There was a lot of ground covered in last week's episode, and this week we are finishing up the Old Testament story. Get ready to dive in as we prepare ourselves for the coming Messiah in the New Testament. 

Today, Jay and George slow down in their discussion of Genesis in order to focus on one man: Melchizedek. Who is this mysterious figure? Tune in as the guys take a journey across three passages of Scripture and see who he is in history, prophecy, and typology. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner.

Pastor Garry Clark continues his Christmas Series on PRAYER! In this message he'll look at Mary in the Christmas Story, and how we should be following her beautiful example when we're afraid!

God's Grace, Mary's FaithDecember 14, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Luke 1:26–38This Sunday, RD teaches from Luke 1:26-38. This passage focuses on Mary as a surprising model of faith, showing how God meets an ordinary teenage girl with a word that changes everything. God's grace comes near, speaks personally, and invites real trust rather than a casual, “of course” kind of Christianity. Mary responds with a posture of pondering and worship, treasuring what God is doing even when she cannot yet see how it will unfold. God's kingdom often flips the world's instincts about strength, status, and security, drawing near to the lowly and needy. The hope of Christmas is not an abstract concept but Jesus Himself, and Mary's surrendered “let it be to me according to your word” becomes a steady invitation for us to walk into the coming year trusting that the Lord is with us.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

In Week 3 of Advent, we explore a joy that defies circumstances, a resilient joy rooted not in ease, but in God's presence with us. From the angels' good news in Luke 2 to rejoicing in hardship, we are reminded that joy came down in Jesus and quietly declares that the darkness is not winning.

Today's Text-Driven Tuesday is a fun one as Jay and George discuss Genesis 14 and the battle of the nine armies. There are many interesting facts in the story, but what's the main point? Listen in and find out. But before they dive into the text, the guys discuss Kirk Cameron's recently revealed view on Hell. Tune in, enjoy the discussion, and be blessed.

Gotten a little off the reading plan? No worries! We know that it's been a bit hectic since fall retreat, so we are here to help! Join Dylan and Zach as they journey through the rest of the Old Testament narrative in a 2 part series as we set up for the New Testament in the Spring semester. 

Pastor Garry Clark begins a new Christmas Series focusing on PRAYER! This week, he'll begin by showing us what Christmas Presents we need to give ourselves, give others, and give our Lord this coming Christmas...

In week 2 of Advent, this sermon reminds us that peace isn't the absence of trouble but the steady, present nearness of Christ in the middle of it. We explore how practices like silence and solitude help quiet our hurried, anxious lives so we can receive the calm and grounding peace Jesus offers.

The Gospel According to LukeNovember 30, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Luke 24:45–48This Sunday, RD launched our new series in the Gospel of Luke by highlighting Jesus' words in Luke 24, where He calls His followers “witnesses” to His suffering, resurrection, and the forgiveness of sins for all nations. Luke wrote his orderly account so that we could have confidence in the truth of Jesus and the historical reality of His life, death, and resurrection. Christianity is not a myth or moral story—it is good news rooted in real events, passed down by those who saw Jesus and were changed by Him. Our role as witnesses isn't to save anyone, but simply to share what we've personally seen, heard, and experienced of Christ's grace. As we enter Advent, we are invited to keep returning to Jesus in Scripture and by the Spirit, letting His ongoing work in our lives become a testimony that invites others to say, “Tell me more—come and see this man.”WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Pastor Garry Clark concludes his series focusing on being a Warrior For Christ! In this message he will be finishing up with the only “Offensive Weapon” discussed in the Armor of God! We learn to fight back with: "The Sword Of The Spirit!"

This Sunday was the conclusion of our Becoming A Redemptive Resistance series, as well as the start to our Advent series. Resisting cynicism and seeking after hope is an important concept in Scripture. We observe the season of Advent as a time of hope, celebrating Jesus' first coming and looking towards His second coming.

Conformed to His ImageNovember 23, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:28–30This Sunday, R.D. wrapped up our fall series, More Like Him. We are all shaped by what we behold, but God's vision is that we would be conformed to the image of Christ as we fix our eyes on Him. Through the gospel, we are made new and invited into a life where the Spirit grows us in Christlikeness in the ordinary places of our week. God meets us in our fears and patterns, freeing us from the need for approval or control and helping us live from His love and His strength. And the good news is this: the God who began the work in us is the One who will complete it.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

In Week 6 of Becoming a Redemptive Resistance, we look at Luke 22:47–53 and how Jesus heals what our zeal and frustration often break. Instead of acting like “culture warriors,” we're invited to join Jesus in his mission of restoration.

Formed in Cultural EngagementNovember 9, 2025 • Brad Raby • Romans 12:1–2, Daniel 1This Sunday, Brad Raby, Lead Pastor at Fellowship West, continued our fall series, More Like Him. Teaching on being formed in cultural engagement, Brad looks at Daniel's story to illustrate how God forms His people both in and for their cultural moment. Like Daniel and his friends in Babylon, believers today face a culture that subtly seeks to reshape identity, values, and loyalties—but spiritual formation in Christ enables resistance without fear or contempt. True resistance is rooted not in outrage but in devotion to God—living faithfully, practicing spiritual rhythms, and saying yes to God's presence again and again. Daniel's integrity, wisdom, and humility show that faithfulness and favor can coexist, influencing even hostile systems. Ultimately, Daniel points to Jesus—the greater exile—who entered our “Babylon,” embodying truth and grace, and now sends us into the world as people shaped by His Spirit for the good of our neighbors.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Today, the guys are discussing one of the more famous verses in the New Testament. Can it really be true that God is working all things for good for you if you are a Christian? There are times when people look at their lives and cannot even begin to process how it can be true.

Join us this week and as we give you some insight on this week's reading! 

Formed in FriendshipNovember 2, 2025 • Devon Accardi • Proverbs 27:9, Mark 2This Sunday, Devon continued our fall series, More Like Him. Spiritual formation isn't about religious behavior but about transformation into Christ's likeness in every part of life. Humans were created out of relationship by a relational God and therefore for relationship with one another. Sin, however, has fractured this design, leaving both beauty and brokenness in our friendships—deep joy and deep hurt. Using the story of the paralytic and his friends in Mark 2, Devon outlined three marks of formative friendship: intentionality, persistence, and faithfulness—friends who purposefully bring one another closer to Jesus. While good friendships are a gift, only Christ can fully satisfy the relational longing of our souls—the King who calls us “friend.”MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Formed in Marriage & FamilyOctober 26, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Ephesians 5:20–21This Sunday, RD continued our fall series, More Like Him. He looks at Ephesians 5 and Paul's focus on marriage. While not everyone is married, everyone is shaped by the marriages around them. Marriage is a living picture of the gospel, meant to reflect Christ's love for the church through Spirit-filled living, mutual submission, and sacrificial love. Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church—selflessly, for their sanctification and growth in holiness. Healthy marriages are sustained through presence, encouragement, repentance, and forgiveness rather than control or coexistence.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Formed in Grief & SorrowOctober 19, 2025 • RD McClenagan • John 11:33–36This Sunday, RD continued our fall series, More Like Him. Grief is the natural response to losing something or someone we love, and it shapes us in profound ways, often revealing the depth of our love. Jesus Himself was “a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief,” modeling honesty before God, compassion for others, and faithfulness in suffering. He wept with those who mourned, showing that our tears matter to Him and that grief can draw us nearer to His heart. Through loss, whether of dreams, relationships, health, or loved ones, we are invited to bring our sorrow to Christ, who transforms it into deeper faith, empathy, and hope. Because of Jesus—the one who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows—everything sad will one day come untrue, and even what was broken will be made more beautiful in His resurrection.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/
