đź“–Sunday Recap
Series Title: Mission In Motion: How We Go
This past Sunday, our sermon was titled “Speak With Boldness” from Acts 4:1-22.
This week Ben VanHyning from Oil Belt Christian Service Camp delivered our message from Acts 4. That text and Ben’s words challenged us to live with boldness and to be prepared to boldly share our faith.
As we live for Christ we have to be aware of moments to share Christ and in the moments have moxie (courage) to share. What do we share, we share the message of Jesus because of the mandate we have as believers. Our motivation to live and speak boldly is found in the work of Christ.
Seize opportunities to speak boldly about Jesus!
👉 Looking Ahead:
This Sunday, we’ll continue our journey through Acts with a message from Acts 8:26-40. Philip shares the Gospel with an Ethiopian eunuch, who was reading from the Prophet Isaiah, Philip seized the moment and shared Jesus and the Eunuch came to know Jesus. This story shows us that evangelism often happens in surprising places with surprising people. Be ready to follow God’s lead.
đź“… Happening This Week
Sunday
- 9:00am – Worship
- 10:20am – Sunday School
- 6:00pm – Evening Service
Sunday Night Services – 6pm
This summer at FCC, Sunday nights at 6pm are all about Ekklesia, Being the Church Together, a time to grow deeper in faith and community. This week is a teaching night, and it’s a great opportunity to devote ourselves to the Bible’s teaching. Let’s move beyond just hearing the Word once a week, let’s obey it, engage with it daily, and commit to being present when it’s taught. The early church gathered often, and we want to follow that example. If you’re hungry to grow, Sunday nights are a great place to start.
