Sometimes a first reading of scripture can make us scratch our heads, but when we take a closer look it yields spiritual riches that inform our lives. My hope is that our learning together this Sunday will remind us of God’s priorities for serving and investing in God’s kingdom for the benefit of others and for our good. It may be a bit of a head-scratcher because Jesus tells a parable using someone dishonest to reveal God’s good plan for his followers. As you prepare, read through Luke 16:1-13. I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.

Stories Jesus Tells
The Good Shepherd
April 14, 2024 • Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs • Luke 15:1–7
We have come to the last sermon in our parable series—the Good Shepherd—and https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+15%3a1-7&version=niv is a great place to stop: with a story about our Lord and Savior, Jesus. He knows, he cares, he owns, loves, seeks, finds, and celebrates. May FCCH walk in his steps by seeking the lost and introducing them to the Shepherd.
The Posture of Christian Forgiveness
April 7, 2024 • Matthew Schuberth
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant in Matthew 18:21-35, challenges us to consider God's great mercy that He extends towards us and how that impacts our lives together as God's family. The gospel calls us to a posture of forgiveness towards one another, seeking to absolve, reconcile and restore a repentant brother or sister with all our hearts. As we come off Easter Sunday, let us consider how reconciliation with God should motivate us to have a Posture of Christian Forgiveness.
Do You See Jesus?
March 24, 2024 • Kevin Baird • Luke 13:31–35
Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week and we will gather as the church to remember and proclaim all that Jesus did for us in our Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday services. As we come to worship together, consider what is most important to you? What do you proclaim with your life, what is the celebratory focus of your soul? This Sunday we will look at the passage that follows Jesus’ parable about the narrow door and consider how we include Jesus in our lives and our hopes. You can read https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%2013%3a31-35&version=niv in preparation and let me encourage all of you to go out of your way to attend as many of the services this week as you can, and if possible bring others with you. We know you will be blessed by these opportunities to worship together.
