Flemings Chapel celebrated our 152nd Anniversary with a great day of worship and gratitude for God's goodness and grace.  The morning message was from 2 Timothy 4:1-8.

The reality of what Jesus did on the Christ, and when He defeated death makes an eternal difference.  His work of sacrifice and suffering was finished at the cross.  And His power to give life was demonstrated by His resurrection.  Learn the six words that changed everything from John 19 and Luke 24.  Praise His name, Jesus is alive!

In preparation for the Passion Week of our Savior, we took a brief detour out of the book of Hebrews in order to be reminded of the sacrifice of our Savior. Pastor David's message is from the gospel of Mark, chapter 10. Three individual are highlighted as we look at the cost of salvation. The rich young ruler, the outspoken disciple Peter, and the Lord Jesus. (If you are having trouble seeing this video, go to Facebook to find our March 21st service.)

The story of redemption is complete. Boaz takes Ruth to be his wife. The picture painted in chapter 4 is of one who was willing to pay the price. To Boaz and Ruth is born a son who becomes the grandfather of King David. And in God's providence, the greater One born in Bethlehem is our Savior Jesus.

The story of Ruth reveals God at work behind the scenes. It also demonstrates what grace and undeserved blessings look like, given to Ruth and Naomi from Boaz, a godly man. This passage teaches principles which help us rest in the sovereign plan of the Lord.

Matthew 1:1-17 contains a long list of relatives of the Lord Jesus. Some of these people had a colorful past. Why did God choose them, and what can we learn about how God deals with people through the family tree of Jesus, the Messiah? Click the tree graphic and enjoy our service as we get ready for Christmas by looking into the genealogy of Christ.

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 2, tells us that wise men saw the star that led them to Bethlehem, and there they worshipped. It also says that Herod heard about the birth of the newborn King and plotted to kill Jesus. Which are you: thrilled to worship Jesus, or threatened that He deserves to be Lord of your life?

Two amazing responses to Jesus came when Mary and Joseph went to dedicate Him in the Temple. Luke 2:21-38 tells the story of the response to Christ that honored Him long ago. Simeon and Anna provide an example of how we should welcome Him still.

Life is short. Times are often tough. But, Psalm 90 reminds us of several principles for living, even in these days of difficulty and stress.  Moses wrote asking God to establish the work of his life. These principles help us keep our lives on track.

The story is familiar. The ten lepers were healed, and only one stopped to say thank you in praise for what Jesus had done for him. Are you in the ten percent? Are you grateful for the work of God in your life? Like the leper, we all have a disease (sin) that is deadly, and we can do nothing about it apart from Christ. Have you accepted His healing work of the cross and empty tomb. Have you thanked Him lately for His grace to care for you?  Luke 17,11-19 tells the powerful story!

The circumstances in Jerusalem in 520 BC were tough, like today. The people were distracted by all the hardship . . . like today. And they were less than faithful, like too many in the current climate.  BUt God called them to a new level of obedience, and promised a greater level of blessing for those who would consider their ways and repent.

Pastor Steve Parker shared a message about the security of the believer from John 10.  Our God who saves is also the One who keeps the believer safe and secure in Christ.

We celebrated the goodness of the Lord with graduation recognition, and a Homecoming Day message with our first drive in service.  (Due to a technical difficulty, Part 2 of the service can be found below.) 

The conclusion of the Homecoming message from Joshua 3 and 4 can be found here.

Through natural calamity and invading armies, God was getting the attention of the people of Judah in Joel's day. He is calling us to return, rend your heart, and remember to worship Him.

After His resurrection, Jesus met several disciples by the shore of the Sea of Galilee.  For Peter, it was a chance to renew His love and dedication to the Lord.  Jesus meets us in our circumstances, forgives us of our failures, and calls us to obedience in the days that lie ahead.

The angel's message to the women at the empty tomb applies to us today. Do not be afraid. He is risen. Come and see. Go and tell.

The Scripture speaks to our hearts if we will listen. The word of God offers comfort in trying times. Pastor David points us to the Bible to find peace and rest that allows us to cease striving while we trust God to do what is right.

From Romans 8, learn how

God is faithful to His children.

Pastor Steve Parker and Pastor David offer a word of encouragement from the Scripture in this brief conversation that will help you keep your attitude in line.  Check out the video on Facebook at FlemingsChapel.org
