Come and find out how.

Yet, for many, childhood is not a place they want to return to. It is filled with bad memories of past that doesn’t feel like honoring. But what we find out in this command is that you and I are forever children to a Heavenly Father. How do you live to honor those you who want the best for you? Let’s find out.

They demand attention. Many times our schedules and excuses us to find time to slow down, to properly rest. In today’s commandment we discover that God wasn’t above resting. It’s strange that with all of the other commandments, they come down strong and understandable. It is no different with this command. God pressed pause in His life. What makes you think that you can do anything less? Let’s find out how we can “Be still and know that He is God!” What’s this look lik...2023-06-2544 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsTaking God Seriously(Brian Schreiber) - Every Commandment has its problems. Some are difficult to understand, others are difficult to interpret, and some are difficult to apply. The Third Commandment presents us with a unique problem: We understand it all too well – “do not use the Lord’s name in vain.” This is not a commandment about swearing. Or at least we can say that’s certainly not the main point. The issue is whether or not you take God’s name seriously. The key to understanding the Third Commandment lies in properly understanding the phrase “in vain.” The Hebrew expression means “lightly, frivolousl...2023-06-1837 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsNo Pictures Allowed(Brian Schreiber) One commercial for photography sited in their ad: “Image is everything!” God couldn’t agree more. When attending a theatrical show, you will hear many times, No photography is allowed during the performance. They want to sell you pictures outside. You might hear the same words used in a museum or sites in Washington D.C. security issues are spoken of. These verses before us this week make it pretty clear that God doesn’t want His picture taken either. Nor does He want a statue made, or any other type of an image. The second of the Ten Comm...2023-06-1137 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsWho’s on First?(Brian Schreiber) – The old Abbot and Costello skit was a constant question as to who was on first base. It was very funny! However, the question in this message is “Who’s on First in your life?” This is the basic idea of the first commandment given by God. The issue must be settled in your mind if you are serious about serving the Lord. So many things are in battle for what’s first at times. God knew we’d struggle with this. God wants to tell us who must be on first if our lives are to be everything the...2023-06-0442 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsGod is not Slow(Brian Schreiber) – We can sometimes really be impatient with God. We think that He’s not fast enough for us. But in todays text from Peter, he is going to let us know that God is not slow at His return. Though these verse, we will see that just because the clock has ticked off 2000 plus years since Jesus promised He would return, we shouldn’t think God is slow. God is not slow, He’s patient and working to save all who would come to Him in repentance and faith. The point Peter is making is that when God’s pr...2023-05-2138 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsGod is Our Rescuer(Brian Schreiber) – I don’t know about you, but most of us need rescuing more than just once. We step in “cow piles” all the time. We need rescuing. Peter knows this from experience in his own life and the lives of those he sees in God’s Word. God did not spare unrepentant sinners in Noah’s day and he didn’t spare unrepentant sinners in Sodom and Gomorrah. But the really good news is that according to Romans 8:32 He did not spare His own Son! Friends, there is no way of escaping out of Hell once you’re there. But Jesu...2023-05-1442 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsSpotting False Prophets(Brian Schreiber) How many of you like watching infomercials? Any proud owners of the Sham-Wow, the Snuggie or the Perfect Bacon Bowl here today? An article in the Quad-City Times called, “Infomercial Tricks That Can Trash Your Cash Supply.” Here’s part of what it said: “Infomercials that sell shampoos, zit creams and the latest weight loss gadgets can be hard to turn away from…not all of them are misleading but many are…you have to be careful and aware that the $19.95 price touted often will wind up being a lot more.” The main point of the article is that consum...2023-05-0737 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsMake Every Effort to Grow(Brian Schreiber) - Listen to how an article from the Washington Post begins: “It is every pilot’s worst nightmare to hear strange sounds coming from a plane. An exploding engine. A cracking exhaust valve. The metallic ping of a bolt sheering under pressure. At 35,000 feet, even the smallest of sounds can signal serious trouble. So it was surely a frightening moment on Monday when an Alaska Airlines pilot heard a banging noise only a few minutes after takeoff. “The problem wasn’t a broken instrument, however, but rather a drowsy luggage handler. Passengers on the flight from Seattle to Los Angele...2023-04-2336 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsYou Have All You Need(Brian Schreiber) His divine nature has granted to you all things that pertain to life and godliness.”(1:3) I guess, of all people, Peter really got that. So if you’re living a godly life, why is that? If you’re living, and you have that relationship, that intimacy with God, why is it? It’s not because you were such a great person or you earned this somehow. It says “His divine power granted that to you. In fact, I love this phrase, He’s granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. So God’s nature has giv...2023-04-1642 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsHis Scars – Our Life(Brian Schreiber) Mary Magdalene and Thomas were experiencing some scars in their lives in the after moments of Jesus’ cruel treatment and death on the cross. On the one hand, Mary had scars with crying about someone stealing her Savior’s body. And on the other, Thomas’ scars reached into his doubts and insecurities about the truth of whom Jesus said He was for everyone. Many have been scarred by these same realities. The scars of a resurrected Jesus remind us that we cannot simply skip from the celebrations of Palm Sunday to Easter morning. But these leftover scars help us r...2023-04-0942 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsHis Wounds – Our Healing(Brian Schreiber) – Jesus is going to make His way into Jerusalem for what seems to be a regular thing to do in celebrating the Passover. Celebration and anointing will take place in His life, but Jesus knows that wounds will come; scars will be on His body. God will be scarred by insults just a few days later by this same crowd. Jesus will be wounded – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.For you, God doesn’t give you scars to remind you that you have been hurt. God gives you God gives you scars to remind you that you h...2023-04-0239 minFairfield Church of Christ SermonsSpeak Through Scripture(Brian Schreiber). Many Christians live unhappy, fruitless, worried, and negative lives. But God’s plan is exactly opposite, He wants His children not just to achieve victory, but LIVE in it! So many things are produced for us now, especially in written form, that can help bring confidence and help in our lives. But the Word of God is truly a place where life speaks into others. When no words of help can come, it’s His promises, His truth and His words that bring life to people. Speak the Word. Now, what do I mean by speaking the word...2023-03-2639 min
