Welcoming New Families to the Neighborhood

Welcoming New Families to the Neighborhood

There is another family from FCC who has sold their home and will be moving in at the end of August. We’re excited to have these friends only 4 blocks away! There is another family moving into the city from Fairway on the Kansas side and they will be only 6 houses away from this [...]

What are we saved to ?

What are we saved to ?

This week has been full of spiritually challenging experiences. I had a newer friend come over for bible study on Thursday. I could sense his despair for the bride of Christ, his longing to see a different bride, one that is actively living out the gospel. The  conversation and specifically one question he asked intensified [...]

Two thoughts “Does God send all Gay people to Hell” & “Wake up Church!”

Sharing Christ this weekend has been a heart cry wake up call in my own life, I am excited about the gospel being proclaimed on Independence Avenue and in the city! I am also equally excited that another group from our church FCC is sharing Christ in the city market. Thought #1 ( Recap, about [...]

Fasten Your Theology:Engaging A Remnant Culture

Today started off innocent enough, we are preparing for our annual BYBC (Back Yard Bible Club) out of our home next week. One of the things I’ve noticed from living in the city for a few years now is the fact that when we moved down here, it was to bring Christ into this place. [...]

2008 Dwell Conference (Urban Church Planting)

I always approach Acts29Network Church planting with a bit of skepticism. I believe I do this some because of Mark Driscoll’s past reputation, but he’s growing on me through his steps toward repentance as he’s been growing as a pastor. However Acts29 has some zealous young driscolites following him in his love for the lost, [...]

Prayerful Consideration of Family Evangelism

We spent some time at the concourse this weekend.  It’s a small place near our home where the kids can run through fountains.  During the next couple of months our home group will be spending time preparing and putting into practice sharing Christ with the world.  One of the benefits of having such a place [...]

Obedience Unto Death

I have been reading through the old testament I currently finished up Judges this morning. One theme that God is bringing to my attention throughout the whole old testament, a theme that is just so blatant is the subject of obedience. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by [...]

Disingenuous Evangelism

Fulfilling the Great Commission…… What does it all mean? Simply put, Christian evangelism is when we share our faith with others. There are a ton of techniques & ways to share Jesus Christ. I heard a sermon recently that said 1 in 40 professing Christians tell someone about Christ. I heard a different person say [...]

Faith Community Church Spring Retreat @ God's Mountain

Faith Community Church Spring Retreat @ God’s Mountain

The men from FCC journeyed up to God’s Mountain in Rushville, MO from Kansas City this weekend to sit at the feet of some of the Elders at the church. Everyone arrived Friday evening after work to enjoy a nice supper prepared by some really incredible cooks. The rest of the evening was spent not [...]

Expository Preaching Is Not Enough

This is a picture of Abraham’s Faith, Abraham being a “doer” of the word & not a hearer only. I was sent these messages several weeks back by Joe Humphries (One of the Shepherding Group leaders at our church.) They have been so eye opening. C.J. Mahaney from Sovereign Grace Ministries helps start this series [...]
