Fellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookColossians: Nailed to the CrossNailed to the CrossJuly 6, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Colossians 2:8–15This Sunday, Greg continues our summer series on Colossians. In Colossians 2, Paul warns the Colossians against false teachings that diminish Christ, distort grace, and pull believers back into legalism and human traditions. These teachings made Christ out to be just another created being, not the sovereign Lord, and suggested that salvation still required human effort. However, Christ is fully God, the head over all rule and authority, and believers are made alive in Him. True transformation comes from a spiritual change of heart, not outward religious performance. It is...2025-07-0733 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookColossians: Your Years Will Have No EndYour Years Will Have No EndJune 22, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Colossians 1:19–20This Sunday, Greg continues our summer series on Colossians. Colossians 1:19–20, the final section of the Christological hymn, emphasizes that Jesus is not merely a spiritual being but fully God, in whom all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. Paul writes this to confront false teachings in Colossae that diminished Christ’s divinity and authority over all creation and spiritual powers. Reconciliation through Christ is entirely God's work—bringing broken humanity and creation back to Himself, not through mutual compromise, but through the blood of the cross...2025-06-2338 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookColossians: He is the Head of the ChurchHe is the Head of the ChurchJune 15, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Colossians 1:18This Sunday, Greg continues our summer series on Colossians. Paul wrote Colossians, alongside Ephesians, to counter false teachings about spiritual beings having authority over people’s lives. In Colossians 1:16, Paul lifts up the supremacy of Christ, presenting Jesus as both the Creator of all things and the head of the church, with everything holding together in Him. The Christian life is about being in Christ—a reality that anchors us in peace and overcomes fear. It is the only place where true rest and new crea...2025-06-1638 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookColossians: Through Him and for HimThrough Him and for HimMay 25, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Colossians 1:15–20This Sunday, Greg began our summer series on Colossians, focusing on its profound theological depth. Paul wrote this letter to correct false teaching that diminished Jesus and instead presented Him as the image of God and the creator of all things. Jesus is not just part of creation—He is above it and holds it all together. Believers should see their identity as part of God's new creation, made to reflect His glory and rescued through Christ’s supremacy, sacrifice, and resurrection.WEBSITE: https://fellowship...2025-05-2734 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: Constrained by the SpiritConstrained by the SpiritMay 18, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 20:18–38This Sunday, Greg finishes our series in the Book of Acts. In Acts 20, Paul’s farewell to the Ephesians emphasizes that true faith often comes with suffering, and he urged the believers to be “constrained by the Spirit”—willing to obey God even when it’s costly or uncomfortable. He warned against false teaching, especially messages that appeal to comfort and avoid hard truths, reminding the church that a gospel that doesn’t confront us isn’t the real gospel. The church is to live boldly for Christ, anchored in...2025-05-1938 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: Mars HillMars HillMay 11, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 17:16–34This Sunday, Greg continues our series on the Book of Acts. In Acts 17, Paul engages the philosophers of Athens at Mars Hill—a city filled with idols and intellectual pride. Surrounded by temples to false gods, Paul boldly proclaims the one true God who made the world, gives life and breath to all, and cannot be contained by human temples or served by human hands. He confronts both Stoic and Epicurean worldviews, contextualizing the gospel in their language, and calls them to repent because God has appointed Jesus as the righ...2025-05-1241 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: The ChristiansThe ChristiansApril 13, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 11:19–30This Sunday, Greg continues our series on the Book of Acts. In Acts 11, we see the gospel spreading beyond the Jews to the Gentiles, especially in Antioch, where believers—fleeing persecution—boldly preached Christ across cultural lines. This moment marks a massive turning point in church history, as Peter’s vision and Cornelius’s conversion clear the way for the ceremonial law to be set aside, opening the door for all people to receive the gospel. Barnabas, a Levite and encourager, is sent to Antioch, and he brings Paul to help teach...2025-04-1442 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: What God Has Made CleanWhat God has Made CleanApril 6, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 10This Sunday, Greg continues our series on the Book of Acts. Acts 10 focuses on the radical transformation of Peter. Once a devout Jew who strictly followed the law, Peter is confronted by a vision from God telling him not to call anything unclean that God has made clean—challenging his deeply ingrained beliefs. This vision prepares Peter to enter the home of Cornelius, a Roman centurion and Gentile, something no faithful Jew would have done. As Peter witnesses the Holy Spirit fall on Cornelius and his househ...2025-04-0739 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: A Chosen InstrumentA Chosen InstrumentMarch 30, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 9:1–31This Sunday, Greg continues our series on the Book of Acts. Acts 9 focuses on Saul’s conversion to Christianity—a moment that changed the course of the world. Saul, was a brilliant Hellenized Jew, a Roman citizen, and a fierce persecutor of Christians before Jesus appeared to him in a blinding light on the road to Damascus. This encounter, where Jesus calls Saul personally, transforms him from a man of violence into a passionate teacher of the gospel. His story parallels many biblical themes—bli...2025-03-3141 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: We Must Obey God Over MenWe Must Obey God Over MenMarch 9, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 5, Acts 6This Sunday, Greg Pinkner continues our series on the Book of Acts. Looking at Acts 5:1 - 6:15, he explains that biblical narratives, especially in Acts, are arranged intentionally to convey deeper theological truths, not just historical accounts. The passage highlights a pattern of highs and lows in the early church—miraculous healings, powerful sermons, arrests, and opposition—emphasizing that suffering and victory coexist in God's kingdom. Ananias and Sapphira’s story underscores the seriousness of sin and the fear of the Lord, while Stephen's martyrdom shows that...2025-03-1042 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: Holy & RighteousHoly and RighteousFebruary 16, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 3:11–26This Sunday, Greg Pinkner continues our series on the Book of Acts. Acts 3:11-26 is Peter's second sermon and follows the miraculous healing of a lame man, drawing a large crowd in Solomon’s Portico, where Peter seizes the opportunity to proclaim Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promises. He connects Jesus to Israel’s history, emphasizing that He is the suffering servant prophesied in Isaiah, the Holy and Righteous One whom they denied and handed over to Pilate, asking instead for a murderer to be released. Peter declar...2025-02-1742 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: DevotedDevotedFebruary 9, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 2:42-3:9This Sunday, Greg Pinkner continues our series on the Book of Acts. Acts 2:42-3:9 falls between two of Peter's sermons and shows the early church how to live as Christians. The early believers were devoted to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer and obedience was the core of Christian life. These verses show us how important it is to be actively involved in a church community, serve others, and embrace the unity found in Christ. God's power and the Gospel transform lives, bringing spiritual life and purp...2025-02-1039 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookActs: First FruitsFirst FruitsJanuary 26, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 2:1–13This Sunday, Greg Pinkner, continues our series on the Book of Acts. In Acts 2, we see the birth of the church as the Holy Spirit descends during Pentecost, marked by the mighty rushing wind and tongues of fire resting on each believer, symbolizing God's covenantal presence and action. This event is a reversal of the Tower of Babel, uniting people from different nations by enabling the apostles to speak in various tongues, allowing everyone to hear the gospel in their own language. The fire signifies God's presence, holiness, and purifi...2025-01-2742 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookNow to HimNow to HimJanuary 5, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 16:25–27This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from Romans 16:25-27, where Paul summarizes the Gospel as God's power to strengthen believers through Jesus Christ. Christianity is not about personal perfection but trusting in God's unshakable foundation, emphasizing faith in His grace rather than self-effort. Mystery, not chaos, defines God's work in our lives, as the Gospel reveals truths previously hidden but now disclosed for all nations. We are to focus on faith-driven obedience, trusting God's purposes even in seasons of suffering and uncertainty.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INS...2025-01-0635 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookThe Last & Greatest DayThe Last and Greatest DayDecember 29, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • John 7This Sunday, Greg teaches from John 7. He looks at the significance of New Year’s as a time for renewal. He connects it to the Jewish festivals, particularly Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and the Festival of Booths, which illustrate God's provision and redemption. These festivals point to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises, offering living water and eternal rest for weary souls. Jesus' invitation to “come to me” is central to faith, as only through Him can we find true sustenance and life.

The story of Jesus’ birth is a testament to this, set in a backdrop of political upheaval, hardship, and imperfection—far from the peaceful and ideal scenario we might imagine for the arrival of the Savior. Yet, the beauty of Christmas lies in the promise of God’s presence with us, even in our brokenness and imperfection, offering hope and light...2024-12-2414 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookAdvent: The Great I AMThe Great I AmDecember 1, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Exodus 3This Sunday, Greg begins our Advent series, focusing on the names of God and His unchanging nature. This teaching focuses on the name “I Am,” highlighting God's eternal presence and faithfulness across all generations, as seen in the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus. Greg looks at Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and how it parallels Christ’s mission to free us from sin. Just as God led the Israelites to freedom, He’s still with us today, guiding and providing for us.

He unpacks the idea of "future grace," the immeasurable kindness and blessings God promises for eternity, even in heaven. Greg challenges cultural cynicism, asserting that hope rooted in God's promises is not naive but assured and vital for combating despair. He highlights that hope extends beyond past grace into a future defined by God’s faithfulness, offering Christians a steadfast anchor.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowsh...2024-11-2536 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookGalatians: I Will Boast in ChristI Will Boast in ChristNovember 3, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 6:11–18This Sunday, Greg teaches from Galatians 6:11-18, finishing our series on Galatians. In these verses, Paul concludes his letter by affirming that salvation comes solely through faith in Christ, without the need for additional religious rituals. Adding requirements to the gospel nullifies its power and dishonors Christ's sacrifice. True Christianity isn’t about outward appearances but about becoming a new creation in Christ. Paul reminds believers that their lives should focus on glorifying God, not seeking approval from the world or boasting...2024-11-0432 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookGalatians: Walk by the SpiritWalk By the SpiritOctober 13, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 5:16–26This Sunday, Greg teaches from Galatians 5:16-26. These verses discuss walking by the Spirit versus living by the flesh and confront legalism—the idea that following the law saves, rather than grace through faith. While salvation is instantaneous through faith, the Christian life is a long and challenging walk of sanctification, where the Spirit helps us resist the desires of the flesh. Walking by the Spirit involves repentance, pursuing obedience, and relying on Scripture and prayer, rather than simply focusing on personal spiritual experiences. We are to lead a l...2024-10-1436 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookGalatians: Faith Working Through LoveFaith Working Through LoveSeptember 29, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 5:1–12This Sunday, Greg looks at Galatians 5:1-12. In these verses, Paul addresses the issue of Jewish Christian teachers insisting that Gentile believers must follow the law of Moses in addition to faith in Christ for salvation. He argues that salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by works of the law, as no one can be made righteous through their efforts. Paul emphasizes that Christ's death frees believers from the curse of the law, offering them a new life in freedom. As believers, we need t...2024-09-3037 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookGalatians: Heirs to the KingdomHeirs to the KingdomSeptember 22, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 4This Sunday, Greg looks at Galatians 4:1-31, teaching that salvation cannot come from the law or ancestry but through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing that believers are now children and heirs of God's promise. Paul, in Galatians 4, compares the difference between living under the law as a slave and living in the freedom of faith as a child of God. Through Christ, Christians are no longer bound by sin or the elementary principles of the world but are freed to receive their inheritance in God's Kingdom.WE...2024-09-2338 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookJesus & LGBTQJesus & LGBTQSeptember 8, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 1:18–32, Ephesians 5:29–33This Sunday, Greg Pinkner continues our series "Jesus &," using Romans 1 to discuss the topic of LGBTQ. Unlike some of the other issues addressed in this series, LGBTQ is clearly addressed in Scripture. Greg acknowledges that these topics are sensitive and central to the current culture war. As believers, we are called to approach these discussions with both grace and truth, reflecting the character of Christ. He warns against the theological mistake of focusing solely on God's love, which can distort a believer's understanding of suffering and God's ultimate purpose...2024-09-0940 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookGospel Sunday: By GraceBy GraceSeptember 1, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Ephesians 2:1–10This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from Ephesians 2:1-10, addressing that believers are no longer identified by their previous cultural or religious identities but as one in Christ. We all were spiritually dead in our sins and were living according to worldly desires. But our salvation has come through God's grace and mercy, not by our effort or merit, to demonstrate God's love even when we were "children of wrath."

Greg stresses that, although the Bible doesn't directly address abortion, principles can be drawn from passages like Psalm 139, which highlights God's intimate involvement in the creation and purpose of each person. He encourages us to approach this complex issue with both compassion and truth, reflecting the character of Christ in our engagement with cultural debates....2024-08-1946 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookGalatians: Heirs to the PromiseHeirs to the PromiseJuly 28, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 3:15–29This Sunday, Greg teaches from Galatians 3:15-29. He continues last week's discussion, focusing on Paul’s teaching about the law and its limitations in saving us. Salvation has always been based on faith, starting with Abraham, who believed God's promise and was counted as righteous. The law, introduced later through Moses, was not meant to save but to highlight humanity's sinfulness and need for faith in Christ. Paul argues that adherence to the law cannot justify anyone before God, as true righteousness comes only through faith in Jesus.

Paul's argument in Galatians centers on the false teaching that Gentile Christians must follow Jewish laws to be saved, emphasizing instead that faith in Christ, not the law, justifies believers. Using Abraham as an example, Paul shows that righteousness comes from faith, not adherence to the law, which only highlights human imperfection. Ultimately, Jesus' perfect sacrifice redeems believers, freeing them from the curse of the law and allowing them to receive the Holy Spirit by faith.WEBSITE: https...2024-07-2240 minFootnotesFootnotesIntroduction to GalatiansFootnotes is a video and audio podcast from Fellowship Church in which Teaching Pastor Greg Pinkner delves into the text from Sunday’s sermon using tools for deeper meditation and study.

The Jerusalem Council, described in Acts 15, plays a crucial role in determining the inclusion of Gentiles in the faith without adherence to Jewish laws like circumcision. This decision highlights the gospel's universal accessibility through grace, not works. Paul defends this stance before the apostles, showing that God's acceptance of Gentiles is affirmed through the Holy Spirit's work among them. The Council's decision underscores the gospel's transformative power, which transcends cultural barriers and emphasi...2024-06-2436 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookGalatians: The Revelation of JesusThe Revelation of JesusJune 9, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 1:11–24This Sunday, Greg continues our study of Galatians.

Paul emphasizes that his gospel message is not from man but received through a revelation from Jesus Christ. He recounts his past, where he violently persecuted the church and excelled in Judaism, only to be dramatically transformed by God's grace. Paul underscores that the true gospel does not conform to human expectations but is rooted in God's revelation, transcending human merit and tr...2024-06-1035 minFootnotesFootnotesFootnotes TrailerFootnotes is a video and audio podcast from Fellowship Church in which Teaching Pastor Greg Pinkner delves into the text from Sunday’s sermon using tools for deeper meditation and study.

In these verses, Paul emphasizes that the gospel he's preaching is non-negotiable and is universally agreed upon by the apostles. However, the Galatians quickly desert the true gospel for a distorted one. Paul clarifies that there's only one true gospel, and turning away from it is equivalent to abandoning God Himself. He warns against false teachings and stresses that salvation is by grace alone, not by following the law.

Galatians was written by Paul to address significant theological disputes in the early church. This epistle is particularly focused on countering the teaching that Gentile Christians must adhere to Jewish law, specifically circumcision, to be true followers of Christ.

In these verses, the writer of Ecclesiastes continues his thesis on why everything is meaningless, but he begins to look at why we are trapped in a world where everything we try to do to make our lives have meaning fails. The New Testament gives the same idea that the entire universe has been subjected to futility, waiting for one day when there will be hope. The hope that will bring humanity out of futility is Christ.2024-04-2237 minFellowship Church MiddlebrookFellowship Church MiddlebrookEcclesiastes: By The BloodBy the BloodMarch 24, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Leviticus 17, 2 Samuel 6, Luke 19Greg looks at the significance of Palm Sunday, emphasizing its connection to Old Testament prophecies and rituals, particularly focusing on the Day of Atonement outlined in Leviticus.
