O que significa construir uma vida que resiste às tempestades?Em Mateus 7, temos um dos contrastes mais marcantes de toda a Escritura: o construtor prudente, que coloca o fundamento sobre a rocha, e o construtor insensato, que se constrói sobre a areia.Essa imagem antiga ganha vida por meio de um paralelo impressionante com o mundo real. O Burj Khalifa, o edifício mais alto do mundo, está localiza...  Read More

O Legado de Adoração: Passando o Bastão para a Próxima GeraçãoO que realmente significa deixar um legado que permaneça para sempre?Nesta poderosa mensagem de encerramento da série sobre a vida de Davi, o pastor reflete sobre a profunda diferença entre herança e legado.

Como é estar verdadeiramente preso pelas pressões da vida, e o que é preciso para se libertar?No Salmo 18, encontramos uma das declarações mais honestas da Bíblia. Davi não escondeu suas lutas; ele nomeou suas correntes em voz alta: o medo, a angústia e os laços da morte que o cercavam. A verdade é que todos nós carregamos fardos. Para alguns, a corda que aperta é a ansiedade. Para outros, são as ...  Read More

Building a House for GodWhen Good Intentions Need God's DirectionThere's something deeply human about wanting to do something grand for God. We look around at our comfortable lives, at the blessings we've received, and feel a stirring in our hearts: "Surely God deserves better than this. Surely I should do something extraordinary."This impulse isn't wrong—in fact, it often comes from a place of ge...  Read More

For many years, our focus at Faith Family Community Church was on revitalization—cleaning up our property, restoring our building, and healing our hearts. But as God began to breathe new life into our congregation, He also began to stretch our vision. We realized that a healthy church doesn't just grow larger; it grows to a point where it can reproduce. In the book of Acts, Paul was focused on his own region until God gave him a vision that changed everything. Paul didn't hesitate; he moved from a mindset of addition to a mindset of multiplication.  Read More

When my family arrived at Faith Family Community Church in August 2017, the pews were quiet. On any given Sunday, there were only a handful of children in attendance. Contrast that with a recent Sunday morning: as I stood in the foyer between services, the building was humming with the energy of boys and girls everywhere. It was a beautiful, tangible reminder of how radically God has shifted the dynamics of our church!  Read More

In the rhythm of our daily lives, we often find ourselves gripping our resources tightly, fearing there won’t be enough for the "what-ifs" of tomorrow. Yet, God offers a radical alternative through the tithe. To "tithe" literally means a "tenth." It is the practice of setting aside the first 10% of our income as an offering to God. It isn't about giving God what is "left over" after the bills are paid; it is about giving Him our first and our best.  Read More

In the quiet of the morning, imagine standing before a vast, fog-covered valley. You cannot see the path ahead, yet you are told to walk. This is the threshold of the Christian life. According to Hebrews 11:6, "without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him."  Read More

Whether you are working hard or intentionally resting, the goal is the same: stay within the word of God. Today, ask yourself: Am I hoarding out of fear, or am I resting in His promise? Both work and rest are holy when they are done in obedience to the Provider.  Read More

When the people cried out at Marah, God didn’t tell Moses to dig a new well; He pointed to a tree. When that tree was cast into the bitter waters, they became sweet.  Read More
