As a church, we recognize that if we are to live out the great commission, then one thing is essential: We must be a people who hear God. In the weeks ahead, we'll talk about the practical ways God speaks - through Scripture, through prayer, through other people, and through our circumstances. Additionally, we must recognize that hearing God is not first a skill to master, but a relationship to tend. God is speaking, we just need to position ourselves to hear him. For the second message in our series, Associate Adult Ministries Pastor Blake Stophlet teaches out of the narrative of the Prophet Elijah's encounter with God in the wilderness from 1 Kings 19.

Week 77 of our sermon series Kingdom of God - Chris digs into what Paul's "thorn in the flesh" is not

Christmas Cards from God: Peace In the latest sermon, we explored the profound theme of peace as a divine gift, focusing on Jesus as the Prince of Peace. This theme is deeply connected to the Christmas story, which celebrates a time when God gave us what we could never achieve on our own: peace in the midst of chaos. The Gift of Peace The sermon began by highlighting the incredible generosity of the congregation, which raised significant funds for clean water projects. These acts of kindness symbolize how generosity contributes to peace in the world. This giving parallels the peace God offers us through Jesus. Understanding Peace The concept of peace was broken down into two key ideas: Being at Peace: An internal state of calm and acceptance, regardless of external circumstances. Being in Peace: A state dependent on external conditions aligning perfectly, which is often beyond our control. God desires both forms of peace for us. This truth is echoed in Jesus' words: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27) Jesus, the Prince of Peace The title Prince of Peace carries deep meaning. As the ruler and keeper of peace, Jesus offers a peace that cannot be found anywhere else. This peace is not earned or bought; it is a divine gift, inseparably tied to His presence. Isaiah 9:6 foretells the coming of the Prince of Peace, emphasizing that Jesus' birth is God's gift of peace to humanity. His reign means He governs a kingdom of peace, offering citizenship through spiritual rebirth. Entering the Kingdom of Peace To enter this kingdom, a person must be “born again,” as explained in John 3:5–7. This spiritual rebirth is necessary because sin separates us from God. Through Jesus' sacrifice, peace with God becomes possible. Colossians 1:20 reminds us that peace comes through the blood Jesus shed on the cross. Living in Peace The sermon also acknowledged a hard truth: while we can experience peace in this world, complete and lasting peace will only be fully realized in eternity. Ephesians 2:14–19 shows how Jesus has broken down walls of hostility, reconciling us to God and offering true peace. The Pathway, Presence, and Promise of Peace The Pathway of Peace: Walking in God's wisdom and commands leads to peace (Proverbs 3:13, 17; Psalm 119:165). The Presence of Peace: Even in hardship, the Holy Spirit provides peace that surpasses understanding. The Promise of Eternal Peace: Believers ultimately look forward to eternal rest and peace with God (Isaiah 57:2). Conclusion The sermon closed with a call to embrace the peace Jesus offers. It challenged listeners to reflect on their spiritual condition and to share this peace with others. As we celebrate Christmas, we are reminded that the Prince of Peace has opened the kingdom of peace to all who believe—offering peace for today and peace for eternity.

Letters from God: A Message of Hope As we step into the Christmas season, it is a time of reflection and reconnection, much like the old tradition of sending Christmas cards with letters to friends and family. In this sermon, we are reminded that God also sends us messages, and this Christmas these messages are filled with hope. Jeremiah 29:11 – A Message of Assurance The sermon begins with a powerful reminder from Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This verse was originally for the Israelites during a time of despair, but it resonates through time, offering assurance that God is always thinking of us, even when we feel distant. The Power of Hope Hope is a recurring theme throughout the sermon, emphasizing its importance in various aspects of life: Health: Hope is linked to better health outcomes, and a study cited shows that hopeful individuals had a significantly lower risk of death after a heart attack than their pessimistic counterparts. Success: Hope is crucial for success, as it fosters resilience and perseverance in the face of challenges. Relationships: Hope breathes life into relationships, making them more positive and fulfilling. Hope in Christ While hope in general is beneficial, the sermon underscores that hope in Christ is unparalleled. It is a hope that shines light into the darkest corners of our lives. The story of Simeon in Luke 2 exemplifies this hope. Simeon, a devout man, awaited the Messiah with hope, and upon seeing Jesus, he knew his prayers were answered. This encounter illustrates the transformative power of hope in Jesus. The Parable of the Hidden Treasure Matthew 13:44 provides a vivid illustration of the value of hope in God's kingdom. The kingdom of heaven is likened to a treasure hidden in a field which, once discovered, prompts a man to sell everything he owns to possess it. This parable teaches that: True hope is unseen: Often our hopes are tied to visible, material things, but true hope is found in the unseen treasures of God's kingdom. Hope gives direction: Like the man who discovered the treasure, hope in Christ gives our lives direction and purpose, guiding us toward a future aligned with God's vision. Embracing God's Hope The sermon concludes with a call to embrace the hope offered through Jesus Christ. This hope is the foundation for a life of peace and purpose, transcending the temporary and visible to provide eternal assurance. As we celebrate Christmas, let us remember that the hope we have in Christ is like a treasure, offering us a future filled with God's promises. Whether you are already living in this hope or seeking it, the message is clear: God has plans for you—plans for hope and a future. For those seeking prayer or guidance, the church offers support to help individuals move from despair to the hope found in God. May this season be one where God's light and hope shine brightly in your life.

We look at God in the Old Testament and think only of wrath and judgement. When we look at Jesus in the New Testament we think of miracles and peace. However, there is more likeness to them than we think. Whether in the New Testament or the Old, He is a God of promises, compassion, patience, justice and mercy.

Series: BUT GOD! | Letting go of the Padel by Siya Madonsela

*Pastor David Greene - Jonah*

We continue with Week 71 The Kingdom of God

We often celebrate the heroes of the Old Testament for their great faith. This is especially true of the Old Testament Patriarchs, namely Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. These are some of the most mentioned characters in the Bible, and the Lord used these individuals to tell an amazing story of his faithfulness. However, when we read of their lives they were far from perfect, much of the story of Genesis is filled with men who fail to trust the Lord, take matters into their own hands, and manipulate and deceive others for their own selfish gain. These characters' lives were quite messy. What this tells us is that a Perfect God can use Imperfect People to fulfill his perfect plan, he is faithful to his promises and there is nothing we can do to thwart his purposes. Throughout the book of Genesis, God continues to make a way out of no way, using what is meant for evil for his ultimate good. It was the promise of land, seed, and blessing made to Abraham and his offspring that God would hold up, and it was through this promise that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, came to earth and brought the hope of salvation to the world. This is good news, as God still saves and uses imperfect people to accomplish his purposes!We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you! Check out our Instagram @fellowshipya, website www.fellowshipar.com/young-adults, or send us at email at youngadults@fellowshipar.com.

This is good news, as God still saves and uses imperfect people to accomplish his purposes!In this message, our Fellowship YA Resident, Logan Moss, covers the life of Jacob. Jacob is one of the most troubled of the four patriarchs. His life is marked by one besetting sin; a false sense of self-sufficiency. We constantly see him taking matters into his own hands. He deceives and manipulates those around him to get what he wants. This finally catches up to Jacob in Genesis 32, when God overpowers him by his grace and transforms into a man who is dependent on the Lord. Jacob's life teaches us where it is we find God's grace, the Lord often uses our desperation, our desolation, and our defeat to overwhelm us with his transforming grace. It is ultimately in Jacob's defeat that he realizes the futility of his sense of self-sufficiency and recognizes God's love for him. This story ultimately anticipates the cross, as the Lord Jesus Christ willingly chose weakness and defeat, what the world saw as humiliation, to achieve the ultimate victory over sin and death. It is because of the cross of Jesus that we can taste of this sweet, overpowering grace for ourselves and can embrace our own weakness, being transformed further into the image of Jesus Christ.  We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you! Check out our Instagram @fellowshipya, website www.fellowshipar.com/young-adults, or send us at email at youngadults@fellowshipar.com.

Sermon Series "Hearing the Voice of God"-Week 3-Does it Line up With God's Character?-Exodus 34:1-9

Pastor Rodney's message, Lord of My (Our) Identity, centered on how faith in Jesus redefines who we are. Through Christ, we are adopted into God's family—not by works, but by faith—becoming new creations clothed in His righteousness. Our identity is no longer shaped by our past, our labels, or what divides us, but by Christ Himself, who unites us as one body and calls us heirs of His eternal promise.

God's sovereignty means nothing exists apart from His relationship, nothing happens outside His purposeful activity, and nothing can thwart His gracious design in Christ. The apostles in Acts 5 demonstrate how we can live fearlessly despite opposition because God's plans cannot be stopped, as proven by Christ's resurrection. We don't need to fear failure because when we align with God's will, ultimate victory is assured. We don't need to fear inadequacy because God uses ordinary people and His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We don't need to fear pain because opposition often confirms we're walking in obedience, and suffering for Christ's sake is an honor that makes us more like our Savior.

In this episode, Andrew is joined by Pastors Scott, Rodney, and Dan to discuss themes from the biblical story of Jeremiah, emphasizing the importance of trusting God and prospering in difficult times. They encourage us to pray, have faith, and remain hopeful, highlighting the significance of God's promises and His ultimate plan for our lives.

In his sermon "Lord of My (Our) Friendships," Pastor Rodney emphasized that God designed us for relationship—first with Him, then with others. He explained that the enemy seeks to divide what God unites, but followers of Jesus are called to live counter-culturally by pursuing friendships that reflect God's truth, grace, and purpose. True friendship begins with intimacy with God and extends outward as we initiate, cultivate, heal, or sometimes sever relationships so that every connection draws us closer to Christ and builds His Kingdom.

Pastor Eric's message highlights the importance of learning from past mistakes and being open to God's transformative power through repentance, using the analogy of a potter reshaping clay to represent how God can restore us. He emphasizes that a soft, responsive heart invites God's grace and urges us to choose obedience and repentance to avoid the hardships that come from a hardened heart.

In this midweek episode, Andrew, Pastor Scott Kramer, and Pastor Eric Goldsborough discuss insights from their recent sermons based on Jeremiah 18, focusing on God's role in shaping our spiritual lives, much like a potter with clay. They highlight the importance of practical teaching, providential relationships, private disciplines, and pivotal circumstances in growing one's faith. They also emphasize listening to the Holy Spirit daily, the value of staying spiritually pliable, and the transformative power of engaging in church and ministry activities.

In her message “Lord of Our Expectations”, Kayla Anderson explores how our desire for control and specific outcomes often limits our faith. Through the stories of Jairus and the bleeding woman, she shows that Jesus rarely meets expectations the way we plan but He always offers something greater: His presence, compassion, and power. Kayla encourages believers to trust who Jesus is, not just what He can do, choosing to stay in His presence, Word, people, and surrender even when prayers seem unanswered, because His character and companionship exceed every expectation.
