At the beginning of a new year, some people make New Year's resolutions. These resolutions are essentially commitments to improve or change habits.
 
In the second of this two-part study, Evangelist Jacob Holman continues to examine our spiritual commitment for the new year.

Commitment for the New Year (Part 2)

Acts 16:25-34. In Acts 16, we read of an intriguing account of two prisoners helping a jailer and his household find Jesus. 

In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines the account of the conversion of the Philippian Jailer to help motivate those outside of Christ to follow Him and to encourage and motivate those in Christ to help others find Him.


A Jailer Finds Jesus

Matthew 27:15-31. For a brief moment, Barabbas, a notorious prisoner, takes center stage in the Gospel story. 

In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines what the Barabbas story reveals about who Jesus is and why we need Him today.


Barabbas: Freed by Love

Throughout the New Testament, Paul frequently emphasized in his letters the concept of being spiritual "fellows" in Jesus Christ.

In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman three some spiritual relationships we share in Jesus.


Spiritual “Fellows”

Amos 1-3. Our series on the Minor Prophets continues with a look at Amos, a sheepherder who prophesied during a time of prosperity and peace; however, the people were spiritually impoverished. 

In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines the opening words of Amos, "The Lord roars from Zion," and explores their applications for us today.

Amos: "The Lord Roars from Zion"

Amos 4-6. Our study of the Old Testament book of Amos continues.
 
In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman considers God's admonition to His people of old when He said, "Woe to those at ease in Zion," and looks at how that applies to us today.

Amos: "Woe to Those at Ease in Zion"

Amos 7-9. We conclude our study of the book of the minor prophet Amos by looking at the final message to Israel: “The end has come for My people” and the five visions of coming punishment for Israel.

In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman focuses on an application for Christians today from the book of Amos.

Amos: “The End Has Come for My People”

Isaiah 6. In an incredible scene within the Heavenly throne room, God is searching for someone to complete a task for Him. Without hesitation, Isaiah steps forward to volunteer.
 
In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines how we can emulate a servant's heart like Isaiah.

Here I Am, Send Me

Luke 12:13-34. While Jesus was teaching, a man brought up a problem. His brother refused to share their inheritance. Instead of helping the situation, Jesus warned against greed in great detail. 

In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines Jesus' response to the inheritance issue to learn how to find our priorities in a materialistic world.

Finding Real Treasure

Psalm 120. In this song of ascent, one man struggles with the violence and deceit in the world around him.
 
In this study, Evangelists Gavin Williams and Jacob Holman explore how man longs for something better that only God can bring.

Lives of Worship: Longing for God in a Broken World

1 Corinthians 3:5-9. Though we may often think about the work that God has given Elders to do, how often do we think about the work that He has given us to do in helping our Elders?
 
In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman looks at two ways in which God desires us to work with our Elders.

Working with Our Elders

The church of Christ at Fairview Park is a group of Christians committed to following just the Bible in all that we say and do. Our goal is to be a local church like those found in the pages of the New Testament. Our collective worship and work reflect this focus.  

Our weekly uploads are Bible lessons presented by Fairview Evangelists.  We invite you to study the Bible with us.

Like those found in the pages of the New Testament, the Fairview Park church is completely independent of all other churches. The elders have authority over this congregation (Heb 13:7, 17; 1 Pet 5:1-4) and they answer only to Jesus – not any other church or body.

We would love for you to join us for worship. If you have any questions about what we do or concerns about whether we are following the New Testament, we sincerely encourage you to contact us.
