Jesus talks about his desired character traits that are to be evident in Christians. It is fairly easy to define what Christian character is, but much harder to live it! We have some helps though, and we talk about that Sunday during Worship.

We have many opportunities and much to learn about giving in the church. It begins with the attitude. In terms of others, what is your attitude? Is it better for your favorite person? Do you care a little less when it is someone whom you do not know?

Pastor Ginger speaks about The Lion and the Lamb, characteristics embodied by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

During Lent we have been studying Jesus’ travels and activities in and around Jerusalem during his last weeks before his arrest, conviction, and crucifixion. The Book of Mark is packed with stories–some lesser known, like the story of the fruitless fig tree.

During the FPCD Sunday morning worship service, we pray several times. Twice we have corporate… read more

What character traits do you value? What do you want to instill in your children? What do you think will help a person get along in the world successfully?

What does it mean to love God with all your heart, your soul, your mind, and your strength? This is the first and most important command.

What might you sacrifice for? A new car? A vacation? Your child’s college education? Would you sacrifice for another person–someone you love very much? What about someone you do not know? These are hypothetical questions but if we think for awhile, we might easily come up with answers. Or, we might at least come up with what we would not think worthy of sacrifice.

VALUES. What do you hold dear? What would you not want to live without? What do you hope to live by in the future?

Each year it is important that the church gather to assess itself and whether it is accomplishing its mission and goals, and also to discuss its vision moving forward into the next year.

When you think of who Jesus is, when you have a problem and you need help, do you think first about Jesus’ power?

Characters in the Old Testament often longed to see God but when they found themselves confronted with the presence of God (like Isaiah); or being confronted with winds, storms, and the like (Elijah); or being hidden in the cleft of a rock (Moses), they were often overwhelmed. It was a known fact that to see the face of God meant certain death to humans.

Have you ever been asked “Who is Jesus?” What did you say? If you are a Christian, how do you relate to Jesus? Do you simply follow what he says and try to emulate him? Perhaps you add prayer to the mix, in order to gain his help with your circumstances. Or is there more?

We all at times want God to prove himself, or show us markers or signs. But which comes first? Faith first? Or proof first? That is our question for Sunday.

Today, we have the honor of being joined by guest preacher Jonathan Adams who will share with us what the Lord has laid on his heart for this year.

Sunday, December 26 at 10:30 join us for “A Family Christmas Sing-A-Long Service.” Families or groups of friends are invited to sing a carol together. Come prepared with what you would like to share!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Advent folds into Christmas on December 24th as the birth of Jesus Christ occurs.

Sunday the FPCD Choir presents the Christmas story from prophecy to fulfillment. This cantata has a unique perspective as the story begins in Isaiah, and lets prophecy give context to the actual happens in the lives of those who listened to God.

This is the third week of Advent, the time of preparation for Jesus’ birth.

This week we talk about Mary’s story. Her life definitely took a new turn that she was not expecting! Let’s hear the story. Let’s celebrate what our children are learning.

This Advent Season, Pastor Ginger is preaching a series called Coming Home for Christmas. The series will continue this Sunday as we focus on the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth.

Our theme for Advent this year is “Coming Home.” We begin the story one week early with the backstory of Jesus’ family.

David, who wasn’t the acting king yet, had an opportunity to move his career forward, and his colleagues urged him to take advantage. How would he respond? What values directed his decisions?

This week we talk about the significance of having a good friend. We are talking about people who might feel insignificant in their own eyes, but in God’s eyes, they make a world of difference.

This Sunday, join us to hear a message from guest preacher, Pastor Roy Watson!

Remember the show “To Tell the Truth?” One person (the central character) was sworn in to give truthful answers. Two imposters were permitted to lie about who they were while a panel of contestants ask questions to discover the central character. . . .

We turn to the story of Hannah, mother of the prophet Samuel. He would need a mother of great faith, and God certainly gave him the best.

The first thing Jesus did when he started his public ministry was go to a wedding. He often encouraged good marriages and pointed out what makes good families.

Do you ever feel when you read the Bible, “What great acts of faith! I could never be like that. I’m just an average person!” This week we begin a new series.

Does the testimony of other people’s lives encourage you? Has a friend told you about something that happened to them and how it changed them? What if they have experienced a particular problem or concern that you identify with and faith helped. Does hearing their story give you encouragement? Most of us would say, “Yes! Definitely!”

King David writes, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life.” Do you believe that? It is a fact of Scripture which is repeated again and again. What about today, though? Are those ancient words relevant? If so, how might we experience them?

Does the title above seem odd? Can you think of a time when we are told to pray against evil in the New Testament?

This week begins a four-week series on the prophet Habakkuk. Habakkuk’s nation was struggling with threats and division. The socio-political pressure was so great that it caused Habakkuk to say, “Where are you God? When are you going to do something about this?” Do you seek the Lord in our own troubling times?

Sometimes God does something wonderful, even in terrible times. For Peter and the disciples who now had a new mission, life got tough. Great opposition to their message was a regular occurrence.

God blesses us because God honors us with the power of His name. God blesses us because we are His and we believe in Jesus. Therefore, we reach out to others with that blessing in our hands. What a blessing to be a blessing!

How do we manage to love God wholeheartedly? It all begins with a command:  “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.”

This Sunday, we invite you to join us to hear a message from special guest speaker, Capt. Ron Pettigrew. He is a career military officer, chaplain, educator, and brother to Candice and Gary Morris.

Our nation was established with these words:  “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” ~ Declaration of Independence. 

Sunday we look at the subject matter through the lives of two men, both with varying forms of morality. One is Ananias, the other is Saul, who became Paul. As their lives converge in Damascus, their morality sharpens. They become better men. How do they do it? Join us Sunday morning for the discussion.

As a father, it is easy for us to love the ones inside our house, but what about those outside of the household? On Father’s Day we talk about how the father loves his wife, kids, and parents, but what about the step child, a kid who lives down the street, or the one needing a father figure?

Philip, who was a deacon in the very first church, experienced the Spirit big time as he was led here and there to share the good news with all kinds of people. This week he is sent to an important dignitary from a foreign country. It was a chance meeting–or was it?

The Psalmist says, “GOD is awesome in his SANCTUARY. Join us in our newly renovated Sanctuary for worship as we talk about the reason for church. We will explore what the church did at first, after Pentecost.

Like soldiers, Christians have a battlefield to fight on each day. It is our sole duty to spread the gospel and fight the Good fight of Faith until death. It is very important that we are armed and ready also, but how do you fight the Good fight of faith?

Sunday is Pentecost. Think of it as “Christmas for the Holy Spirit.” Jesus came to earth on Christmas. The Holy Spirit arrived here fifty days after Easter. That’s this Sunday!

This Sunday celebrates Jesus’ ascension. It happened forty days after the resurrection. He spent all those forty days appearing to the disciples, eating with them and proving in many ways that he was alive. In fact, he appeared during those days to over 500 people, and later to Paul on the road to Damascus. Jesus is alive!

If you had to describe why you are a Christian, what would you say? Let’s say Jesus suddenly appeared here in Duncanville in person and the two of you were walking down Main Street at Center. How would you introduce Jesus to someone?

Many crowds followed Jesus. They were impressed by his words of wisdom. They were impressed because he did miracles and cast out demons. He could stand his own. He could take on the “big guys.” But what did it mean to be a follower of the Lord? What does it mean today?

One thing about little children is that they are willing to ask. Have you been around a young child recently? Innocence drives children. You are big. They are small. You must have the help/food/toy/ability they need. So they do not hesitate to ask.
