His voice was raspy and tired. The sermon notes were not on the app though we tried several times to turn off our phones and retry to get the sermon notes for 3/8, the day after FC’s 70th celebration. Pastor Josiah explained that Peter had the audacity to cite prophecy from Joel 2 “ And afterward I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and wom

In Joshua 4, the Lord instructed the Israelites to pick twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests were standing, carry them out and stack them at the site where they camped. It was to be a memorial. He wanted them to remember what the Lord did for them. Josh Munoz reminded us to remember what the Lord has done in each of our lives and to thank Him wholeheartedly. He is worthy of all of our praise. Then Pastor Josiah called Greg Hendricks and his wife up to

“What a God! What a God!” we sang. “You have no rival. You have no equal.” He is our amazing Savior and Lord, and during the worship we were in His throne room. Then Joel Munoz encouraged us to “steward the presence of God. He moves; He breathes; He breaks things off of you! The Lord is more than enough.” Amen and amen! FC’s mission is to culture like Christ,  and the vision is Jesus. Pastor Josiah reminded us of Pastor Greg’s sermon about “Championship Faith.” The week befor

“The Lord wants it all. Don’t negotiate with the enemy. The enemy wants just enough of you to keep you from fully belonging to Jesus,” declared Pastor Tim. We need to totally surrender to Him and not give of ourselves grudgingly but willingly and joyfully. The old song “I Surrender All” captures the Lord’s desire for us in order to have the life He wants for us. Pastor Greg Hendricks emphasized that the Lord told him that “some one was going to give their life to Jesus today.

“You are worthy of it all. You are worthy of it all,” we sang. The Holy Father is worthy of all our praise and blessing. Then Josh Munoz prayed for us to take an inventory and house clean our hearts. “Show us things that are standing in the way of the fullness of who You are.”   Pastor Josiah reminded us that our mission is to culture like Christ, and our vision is Jesus. Last week Pastor Josiah spoke on the sermon, entitled “Built in the Shadow” concerning the rich, young ru

Spirit-filled worship, faith-meeting-the-water baptisms, and Daniel fast-ending communion were just the beginning of the service. Pastor Josiah hoped that the Daniel fast gave us tools for walking with God. Communion, on the other hand, reminds us of His death and resurrection. It also reminds us of His love for you. He is for you. He sees you. From Pastor Josiah’s favorite verses that described the Last Supper, he read,” For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord him

Same Street, New Mercies This morning, like every other morning, I opened Tessa’s crate and clipped on her leash. Her tail wagged like it was the first time she’d ever been allowed outside. Without fail, she bolts out of the house and begins her loop with joy and wonder, as if the same street we walk every day is a brand-new adventure. Same houses. Same smells. Same mailboxes and flowerbeds. But her excitement never fades. As we walked, I watched her bounce up to each bush li

God is Into the Details   Exodus 31 Have you ever felt like your "spiritual life" and your "real life" are two totally different worlds? Like God is mostly interested in what you do at church, but doesn’t really care about your desk job, your art, or how you organize your kitchen? In the book of Exodus 31 it totally flips that script. In this chapter, God is finishing up the instructions for the Tabernacle. But instead of just giving more measurements, He calls out a guy name

Persevering in the Waiting and the Fast During this 21-day fast, perseverance takes on a deeper meaning. Fasting isn’t just about eating healthier food, spending less time on social media, or watching less TV—it’s about creating space to hear God more clearly. It’s about resisting comfort so we can grow in obedience. I know this isn’t easy—I’m walking this journey with you. There are days when hunger is real, energy is low, and the days feel long. Fatigue hits like running in

Redeemed for a Greater Purpose I believe the Lord desires to redeem areas of our lives in 2026 by reminding us of what Jesus has already accomplished on the cross. Too often, we become paralyzed by the circumstances of life, whether from abuse, neglect, depression, fear or simply feeling stuck. Yet God is not intimidated by our past or overwhelmed by our present. He longs to turn it all around for His glory.  What was meant to take you out will become your testimony, one that
