Devoted: One Church, One World, One Mission - Mark Hazzard | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, Guest speaker Mark Hazzard preached a message entitled "Devoted: One Church, One World, One Mission." Drawing from Matthew 28:18 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlzyf06LAzc&t=1698s]–20, Pastor Mark emphasized both the urgency and clarity of Jesus’ Great Commission to "go and make disciples." He challenged us to consider four important questions: Who should be making disciples? What does making disciples look like? Who should we disciple? And when should we make disciples? Pastor Mark reminded us that disciple-making is not reserved for a select few but is the calling of every believer, empowered by Christ’s authority and presence. This message encourages us to live with purpose, embracing our mission to make disciples wherever God has placed us. ✍️ Notes Title: Devoted.

Still Room at the Table - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “Still Room at the Table.” Pastor Ben reminded us that God’s invitation is open to everyone, pointing to Jesus’ parable in Luke 14 where the master continued to welcome more guests because there was still room at the table. He encouraged us to see the heart of God for people who may feel overlooked, forgotten, or far from Him, and challenged us to make room in our lives for others just as Christ has made room for us. Pastor Ben also reflected on Acts 2:46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRt4dszJxc&t=166s]-47, highlighting the beauty of biblical community as believers gathered together with glad and sincere hearts, sharing meals, praising God, and witnessing lives being transformed daily. This message calls us to live with open hearts, open minds and open tables, inviting others into the life-changing love and community found in Jesus. ✍️ Notes Title: Still Room at the Table – Ben Johnson “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” –Acts 2:46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRt4dszJxc&t=166s]-47 NIV “When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.  At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’  “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ ‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.” –Luke 14:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRt4dszJxc&t=855s]-23 (NIV) 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...

The Power of Sending - Darcy & Leanne McAlister | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, guest speakers, Darcy and Leanne McAlister shared a message entitled “The Power of Sending.” They reminded us that God is still calling people into His mission and that the Church is called to participate through evangelism, discipleship, justice, creation care, and community. Drawing from Acts 13:1–3, Darcy and Leanne highlighted how the church at Antioch identified, discipled, and sent out leaders like Barnabas and Saul for God’s work. They encouraged us to see sending as a community responsibility — one that requires a willingness to mentor, develop, and release the next generation into ministry both locally and globally. Through stories of mission work, marriage ministry, and investing in young leaders around the world, they challenged us to say “yes” to God’s calling and to faithfully send our sons and daughters into His mission. ✍️ Notes Title: The Power of Sending – Darcy and Leanne McAlister Connecting Women & Men into God’s Mission • French translation • International groups • Groups for and Women • Regional Conferences Mission Global • Communicating God’s heart for mission • Encouraging missional discipleship • Connecting our churches with global work Marriage Ministry • Online and in person • Marriage mentoring in a Muslim country • Marriage courses used by leaders in contexts without Bible schools A Call to Young Leaders • Coaching • Mentoring • In Canada & around the world God is Still Calling People • God has a Mission • God Mission is Holistic • Evangelism • Discipleship • Justice • Creation Care • Community • The Church is Called to Participate “Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria were Barnabas, Simeon (called “the black man”), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas), and Saul. One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Appoint Barnabas and Saul for the special work to which I have called them.” So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way.” –Act 13:1-3 (NLT) Committed to Identify and Disciple • Barnabas identified him as a leader • He mentored him • He developed a leader Dedicated to Sending • A community responsibility • We send our best We must send our sons and daughters “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;” –Act 2:17 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvRdzbqWkv8&t=137s] A Willingness to say “yes.” 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...

Passing On The Faith - Ben Johnson | First Assembly

This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “Passing on the Faith.” Pastor Ben walked us through 2 Timothy 1:2–7, reminding us that faith is passed on through lives that genuinely reflect Christ, through stirring up the gifts God has placed within us, and through intentionally imparting faith to the next generation. Drawing from the examples of Timothy’s grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, Pastor Ben emphasized that sincere faith is often cultivated through faithful relationships and daily example. He also reminded us of God’s heart for family and discipleship, as seen in Ephesians 1:5 and Psalm 78:4–5, encouraging us to share the goodness and power of God with future generations. ✍️ Notes Title: Passing on the Faith – Ben Johnson 2 To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. –2 Timothy 1:2-7 (NIV) How is the faith passed on? • It is lived • It is stirred up • It is imparted “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family, by bringing us to himself through Jesus… this is what he wanted to do and it gave him great pleasure…” –Ephesians 1:5 We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done. –Psalm 78:4-5 Passing on the Faith: The great commission is fulfilled one life at a time. 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...

The Way of Missions - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “The Way of Missions.” Pastor Ben reminded us, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel… it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=76s]), and pointed to Jesus’ prayer that “all of them may be one… so that the world may believe” (John 17:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=1040s]–21), and that “by this everyone will know… if you love one another” (John 13:35 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=815s]). He taught that the Great Commission is what we do: “go into all the world and preach the Good News” (Mark 16:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=975s]), the Great Commandment is how we do it: “love the Lord your God… and love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37–39), and Great Compassion is why we do it: because people are “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=576s]). ✍️ Notes Title: The Way of Missions – Ben Johnson For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, –Romans 1:16 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=76s] (NKJV) “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  –John 17:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=1040s]-21 (NIV) By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. –John 13:35 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=815s] (NIV) Great Commission – What And then he told them, “You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. –Mark 16:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=975s] (TLB) Great Commandment – How Jesus replied “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” –Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV) Great Compassion – Why When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. –Matthew 9:36 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmVwx-tj8M4&t=576s] (NIV) 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS    Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...
