The Cross and the Hard Questions
The world today is full of difficult questions. We wrestle day after day with issues pertaining to the presence of evil in the world, human sexuality, immigration, and so on. This Lent, our sermon series will focus on taking a look at these pressing issues in light of the cross of Jesus Christ.

Weather impact on Sunday services
Update: Due to poor local travel conditions, we have prayerfully decided to cancel all Sunday morning services for January 24th. We encourage you to worship with your families from the warmth and safety of your homes as well as seek ways to assist and minister to friends and neighbors nearby.
The ministry fair scheduled for this morning will be postponed until next week. However, in order to accommodate the many ministry activities of the week in the FYF Worship Center we will need to remove the displays that are currently set up. Those who are able to come to the church to assist are encouraged to do so sometime by late Monday afternoon, but only after conditions are safe for travel.
Please be safe and have a blessed Lord’s day!
Due to inclement weather, there will be no activities during the Sunday School hour at 9am tomorrow morning. We will provide an update in the morning around 8am concerning the 10:15 worship service. All updates will be sent via email and posted to the church’s Facebook page and website. Please help spread the word. Thank you!
Radical Discipleship
“Radical” is a term we encounter often. Radical Islamic terrorists, radical student protesters, radical activists, radical pro-lifers or radical abortionists. I wouldn’t dare call certain football team proponents ‘radical’ would I? So, basically we use the term for someone who is out of their mind. Someone who truly does not care about anyone else. They are agenda driven – normally at the expense of someone else. But the word ‘radical’ comes from at Latin word “radix” which means “root.” This series – and all we are focused on this year – considers the root, the foundations, the formative elements, the ground, the basis of everything else. What are the unchangeable things about calling ourselves disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ? These are the rudiments that are non-negotiable. They are the things by which we see everything else. They point to the personal and loving agenda of Jesus and that means that we live for others with His mind and His heart. We don’t use others we love and serve them. Let’s be radical!
