Fairfield Church of Christ Sermons

Why do you not judge for yourself what is right?

Jesus rebuked the crowds who knew how to interpret the weather but who missed what was right in front of them. He taught that God’s kingdom had come. The crowds who followed him saw the signs and miracles he performed. He called them hypocrites because they were open to the ways of the world. They had the intelligence to know that it was better to settle a case before it went to court, but their minds were closed about spiritual things.  Do you tend to do the same thing at times? Essentially, Jesus is begging individuals to examine their own hearts and decisions, exercising personal judgement to live following after God’s will instead of just conforming to appearances.  Sundays @ 8:45 & 11:15 745 Symmes Rd Fairfield, OH 45014 Learn more at www.werfcc.com [www.werfcc.com] !  Check out our original music [https://open.spotify.com/album/2cmh4POzsDUwOvUOgnoIkS?si=UNWP1NA5T9mu_dooANCiDg]!

Why are you so afraid?

Jesus goes on a ride with His disciples when a fierce storm comes on them, only to lead them Into a greater moment of trust.   Jesus is regularly training His disciples .  They become afraid.  They forgot who was in the boat with them.  Jesus has a destination for them and for you.  Jesus ends up  with a plan to run into a demon-possessed man.  Lessons on a ship that lead to en even crazier moment:  Discipleship at its core is followship!    The sudden storms of life never alter God’s plan for your boat or your life, which always leads to more trusting in His plan.  When Jesus asks ,”Why are you so afraid?,”. The problem wasn’t that they were afraid, but that their fear was elevated over their faith.  The great part of today’s question is this idea:  Every storm is subject to Jesus!  His question today helps you to examine your soul not your storm and what you might confront next in life. .  Sundays @ 8:45 & 11:15 745 Symmes Rd Fairfield, OH 45014 Learn more at www.werfcc.com [www.werfcc.com] !  Check out our original music [https://open.spotify.com/album/2cmh4POzsDUwOvUOgnoIkS?si=UNWP1NA5T9mu_dooANCiDg]!

Staying Anchored in Hope

Hope is what provides endurance and help in the difficult times.  May you be encouraged to remain hopeful in the face of challenges because you are anchored to Jesus.   The source of our hope is in Christ and to be reminded of the promises provided in the. Scriptures.  Remember the words to this worship song – So I won't be going under I'm not held by my own strength 'Cause I build my life on Jesus He's never let me down Hope changes life and living.  Hope is something we can share with others who need help seeing beyond a world that is often filled with despair.

The Importance of Staying Anchored

Sometimes we have storms that need something sure to hold on to.  Other times there’s a lot of waiting and you sure don’t want to drift. So, what does a believer do to keep from drifting?  There is plenty of distractions to keep your life ship from remaining secure and sure in the storms, in the changes, or just in the waiting. Just leave shore without your anchor. To keep anchored in your faith, and to keep from drifting, you will need God’s Word and cling to every one of His promises.  It’s critical to use the anchors that God provides.  You will want to navigate life with an anchor.  It would be like driving without brakes.  What is your anchor?  What are you clinging to?  Sundays @ 8:45 & 11:15 745 Symmes Rd Fairfield, OH 45014 Learn more at www.werfcc.com [www.werfcc.com] !  Check out our original music [https://open.spotify.com/album/2cmh4POzsDUwOvUOgnoIkS?si=UNWP1NA5T9mu_dooANCiDg]!
