FLC TV - December 16 Sermon - Philippians 4: Peace Over Anxiety

Philippians 4:8-9: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

FLC TV - December 12 Advent Sermon - Luke 3: Jesus, The Son Of Sacrifice

In part two of this Advent sermon series, Pastor Schiemann describes how Jesus, a son of Abraham according to the genealogy in Luke 3, provides himself as the sacrifice for our sins just as Abraham had been prepared by God to sacrifice Isaac, the child promised to Abraham and Sarah.

FLC TV - December 9 Sermon - Luke 3: Giving Us A Holy Push

Luke 3:7-11: John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” “What should we do then?” the crowd asked. John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”
