Why We Worship
Psalm 77 For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm. 1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. 2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not […]
Raised from the Dead
1 Kings 17:8-16, 17-24 Luke 7:11-17 This is the sermon segment of the service and what we Christians usually do is, we read the Bible out loud and then preach a sermon about it – the human explanation of the divine Word and its application to our lives. That’s the […]
The Mission of God
OPENING PRAYER God, as we go into the Word this morning, I ask that you allow me to be a vessel and a channel for the things that You want to say and the things You want to do in our hearts in this time we share together. Thank You […]
What’s Next FCC?
Genesis 11:1-9 11:1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 11:2 And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 11:3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them […]
Turning Things Around With L.U.C.
Good morning. We’re celebrating Mothers’ Day today and I just wanted to first wish God’s blessings on all the mothers who are here and express gratitude for our mothers who may not be here. My message today is not about mothers per se but I hope it will serve as […]
The Power of the Holy Spirit
John 14:23-29 23 Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not […]

I Shall Not Want
When I looked at the lectionary readings for this week, I had lots of difficulty choosing to share from which of the four passages. The one passage, which speaks to me most, is Psalm 23. However, looking back at the sermons which I had shared in the past, I have […]
Do You Love Me?
Jn 21:1-19 21:1 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. 21:2 Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his […]
FCC on the move to Commonwealth
World-wide attention was drawn to the election and subsequent installation of Pope Francis from Argentina. Wide-spread comments were and are being made from different perspectives. The life and work of the former Cardinal is closely scrutinized to help us understand him. His words and actions are carefully analyzed and watched. […]
Do Not Hold On To Me
Easter Sunday cannot be separated from Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. There is no Resurrection without Death and Suffering – but more importantly there is no Resurrection without Love. Mary Magdalene, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, did not recognize Jesus. Isn’t it strange – these companions of […]
Seeking the Face and Heart of God
