Superheroes of Faith - Fairview Road Church of Christ

Barnabas

April 24, 2022 • Andrew Lough • Acts 4:32–37, Acts 9:26–28, Acts 13:4–14

Barnabas easily slides into the background, but in crucial moments, he is the steady engine that keeps the Gospel moving. How is God calling you to step out from the crowd, to share your faith in Jesus?

The Woman at the Well

May 1, 2022 • Andrew Lough • John 4:1–42

The woman at the well has her expectations shaken by Jesus multiple times in one conversation. An average person might have to regroup, study and train for the moment, but she jumps into action with no delay!

Esther

May 8, 2022 • Brian Hajicek

As a single woman in her time, Esther should not have spoken up. Yet, with boldness and courage she found her voice, embraced the challenge God gave to her, and saved her people from certain death. How has God called you to speak out when others told you not to?

Nicodemus

May 15, 2022 • Andrew Lough

Sometimes strength isn’t a hero’s biggest weapon, it’s their wisdom. Nicodemus appears three times in John’s gospel, and each time shows him maturing and progressing in faith in Jesus, to the point where he takes great risk to honor Jesus at his burial. How has God called you to a heroic journey into the waters of wisdom?

Lydia

May 22, 2022 • Andrew Lough

Lydia has what some would call a chance encounter with Paul and his missionary team. I would say she was a vessel of the Holy Spirt placed in their path to hear and respond to the Gospel and bless many. When opportunity arose, Lydia was ready. Who came into your life to share the good news, and how can you pass it on?

Joseph

May 29, 2022 • Andrew Lough

Despite being the youngest, sold into slavery, and spending time in prison for a crime he did not commit, Joseph played the long game. Joseph is an example of extreme endurance and sight to see God working for good in the dark times. How has God called you to stay faithful over the long-haul, and what fruit will that provide to those around you?

Nathan

June 5, 2022 • Andrew Lough • 2 Samuel 12:1–9

Nathan finds a clever way to speak truth to power when confronting the king. How has God called you to speak truth into life's circumstances?

Ruth

June 12, 2022 • Andrew Lough • Ruth

Ruth is a great example of taking risks and stepping into the unknown for those she loves. Are you willing to take a step for God, even when you can't see the step God is asking you to take?

Moses

June 19, 2022 • Brian Hajicek • Exodus 3, Exodus 4

Moses was a sheepherder that preferred the solitude of the open country and did not see himself as a leader. He lacked confidence and was not a good speaker, yet he embraced the challenge of leading God’s people and protected them along the way. How has God gifted you to overcome your limitations?

Joshua

June 26, 2022 • Brian Hajicek • Joshua

Joshua faced an uphill battle trying to lead folks who were making decisions out of fear. He had to inspire God's people to be courageous while not always being sure himself. Is God calling you to lead where it's not alway popular?

Peter

July 3, 2022 • Andrew Lough

Peter is a hero that simply won't stay down - ever. When this world knocks you down, God is cheering for you to get back up!
