Every Christian can find true success by being a revolutionary for Jesus.

2025-02-23_How_to_Find_True_Success--Matthew 5:3-16

This week, Luke's Gospel encourages us to break free from the small, self-focused lives our culture encourages and embrace the expansive, kingdom-centered life Jesus offers. The sermon draws from Luke 10, where Jesus sends out 70 disciples to proclaim the nearness of God's kingdom. This story reminds us that we're all called to be 'sent ones,' carrying the good news of God's love to every corner of our world. The message emphasizes three key aspects of this 'big life': its mission (to proclaim and demonstrate God's kingdom), its method (simple living and holistic ministry), and its motivation (joy in our heavenly identity, not earthly accomplishments). As we reflect on these truths, we're invited to examine our own lives. Are we living for self-comfort and material gain, or are we allowing God's love to flow through us to others? This teaching encourages us to find true fulfillment by participating in God's mission, meeting both spiritual and physical needs in our communities.

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.
