Alistair Begg once said, “There is no such thing as secret discipleship. Either your secrecy will destroy your discipleship, or your discipleship will destroy your secrecy.” This quote introduces our Bible story today. It is about a “secret disciple” named Joseph who stepped out of the shadows of fear to become a faithful follower of Jesus.
“It’s OK to not be OK” …for that phrase to be true, our church needs to a be a church that is grace-filled. As we close out our series “This is Us”, one of the things that makes us who we are is that we are a people who know our own need for God’s grace and that we also extend God’s grace to others.
FBC Allen is a generous church. Our ministry reaches out across our community and all over the world. To be a generous church, we need generous people. Generosity is not a calling for the few, but it’s a calling to all who are followers of Jesus. Do you live a generous life?
Prayer is a great mystery to most people. Does it really work? Does it make a difference? Why does a faithful prayer life come with such difficulty for us? Today we’ll walk through a Bible story about prayer that weaves through our pressings questions.
This grand story of the works of God that the Bible records is meant to give you some gifts you will find of great value. In our This Is Us series, we declare that we are a Bible-believing, Bible-living church.
God invites you to participate in the greatest, largest, most diverse, and most significant cause in history- His Kingdom. History is His story. He’s building His family for eternity. Nothing matters more and nothing will last as long.
It’s not uncommon to hear from people who say they love Jesus but they’ve turned their backs on the church. The Bible teaches Jesus gave His life for the church. Today we’ll share some more good reasons not to give up on the church.
We’ve kicked off a new series called This Is Us. UNLIKE the TV show...we won’t set out to make you cry every episode. LIKE the TV show we realize that life is complicated and messy and filled with challenges. Here’s what makes us different from the rest of the world. We live in this broken world just like everyone else BUT unlike the rest of the world...WE do this in relationship to God...the One who created this world, holds it all together and is the one hope we have for time and for eternity. That makes US different than a lot of other people...makes US different than THEM. The Bible hits this theme repeatedly.
Today we begin the new year with a new series – This is Us. There are certain things that mark who we are as a church. This morning we begin with legacy. We are determining what our legacy will be with every choice made every day.
