I Know the Plans I Have for You

We humans are continually making plans, big and small, good and evil. But unknown to nearly everyone in the world, God is making His plans too. Knowing His plans changes our lives in many critically important ways.

God’s World View

Given by Doug Horchak

Many people recognize we are living through very uncertain times. As members, our view of the world we live in is formed by what we know, what we read and what we experience.

What Does the Bible Say About Depression?

Given by Ralph Levy

Depressed? Us? Surely not. We’re Christians, and such people don’t suffer depression. The truth is, depression impacts most people, including true Christians. What does the Bible have to say on this sensitive subject? And what may we do to escape “the blues” when they have us in their grip? This sermon explores the question of what the Bible has to say about depression.

Given by David Johnson

Why the Church?

Given by Jim Franks

We live in a society that has become more and more nonreligious and even antichurch. 30% of all churches that closed for COVID-19 did not reopen. The percentage of people who are involved with a church has dropped to almost half what it was in 1990. In a nonreligious society, what about the Church of God? What impact does this have on the Church? And why does the Church even exist?

 

Things That Matter

Given by Jim Franks

As Christians, all of us, including FI graduates, must focus on what is really important in life. These things include  the truth, our relationship with God and our relationships with each other.
