Cut for Time: The Feast at the End of the World

Pastor Jeff shares how he has been preparing for this series in his own time and gives an overview of our care ministry at Faith Church and how you can get the help that you need.

At the center of Lamentations, the focus and the structure shift. The narrator recounts his personal experience of suffering – what if felt like, and what his suffering seemed to tell him about God. But for the first time there’s hope – the narrator also remembers God’s kindness, love, and faithfulness, and he becomes a source of hope for others. It’s a patten we can emulate in our suffering. Join us as we look at “The Wounded Healer” from Lamentations 3:1-33.

Pastor Jeff and Claire are joined by Karl Pohl, Director of Worship to answer questions about new songs that are introduced this Lenten season.

It’s one thing to suffer hurts, losses, and griefs – but what do we do when it feels like God is the one who’s caused the pain? Where do we turn? Join us as we explore how lament helps give voice to our pain in “The Wrecked and the Wrecker” from Lamentations 2.

Pastor Joey shares background on the book of Lamentations because he had to cut it from the sermon and answers questions from our congregation.

In a world beset by griefs, how do followers of Jesus learn to faithfully and appropriately bring these griefs to God? Or are we being unfaithful when we tell God we hurt? Is God big enough to handle our pain? These questions and more are at the core of our Lenten series through Lamentations. Join us as we begin the healing process of rehearsing our griefs before God, as study Lamentations 1:1-22, “How Lonely Sits the City.”

Start this year’s Lenten season with a service of prayer, humility, and the reminder of our frailty and need of a savior.

Pastor Joey just preached the final sermon of this Acts sub-series so he wraps it up for us as we transtion into the season of Lent and studying Lamentations.

At first glance, this story seems unnecessary. Herod Agrippa has only just come on the scene, and already Luke narrates his demise? But there are fascinating contrasts between this story and the previous one—most interestingly, contrasting how the Church responds to Herod’s oppression and how the people of Tyre and Sidon respond. Ultimately, Herod’s power is nothing compared to God’s, and the Church continues to flourish in spite of opposition. So join us as we study “The Blasphemy” from Acts 12:20-25!

Pastor Joey answered rapid fire questions while under a time crunch for recording, and, of course, did a great job. Listen in to hear what others from our congregation are asking!
