Today, he shows us the source of that hope. We learn that God gives us a promise, but we must often wait for its fulfillment. Often times, circumstances will seem to take away any possible realization of God's Promise. However, when things look their bleakest, God will keep His word. sermon Sun, 22 Aug 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/hope_source.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/hope.mp3 People look for greatness everywhere. Some try to find it in an athelete, some in food, weight loss, drugs, medicine, or something else. John shows us where and what our hope should be. He explains how the Bible clearly calls us to have one hope. We don't get to see this hope only, but we get to have the experience of Christ in us and living through us. This hope is in us! sermon Sun, 15 Aug 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/hope.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/means_to_be_one.mp3 Rusty Hedger, from Ozark Christian COllege (OCC), delivers a message from Philippians about being one in the church, the community, and the world.

He explains we should not live our life how we want, but how Christ wants. sermon Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/body_sacrifice.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/.mp3 Coming Soon. sermon Sun, 11 Jul 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/.mp3 Coming Soon. sermon Sun, 18 Jul 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/freedom_christ.mp3 Today, our nation declared its freedom. As Christians, we also declare our freedom. We do not use our freedom to sin, or to please ourselves. Instead, we use that freedom to serve others as Christ served us. sermon Sun, 04 Jul 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/freedom_christ.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/peace.mp3 We all want it, but most of us have trouble finding it. We worry about jobs, health, or finances. Maybe we suffer from road rage, arguments in our family, or from others assaulting us. What we want, what we need is peace. John explains how the Bible offers a lasting, meaningful peace in a world full of conflict with God, self, and others. sermon Sun, 27 Jun 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/peace.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/hate.mp3 We all have those people we don't like. We may even hate that person, or those people. How can we love those people the way God wants? Using a passage from Romans 12, John shows us how we can follow the everlasting Father, in loving others. sermon Sun, 20 Jun 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/hate.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/becoming_one.mp3 How can we become one? John delivers this important message about the importance of Christians becomeing united in Christ. We are to be united as God the Father, Christ the son, and the Holy Spirit is one. sermon Sun, 13 Jun 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/becoming_one.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/get_along.mp3 Today, John shows how the scriptures admonishes us to get along with each other. He points out how Satan picks apart the church, by stealing our attention from the cross and the mission Christ gave us to save the lost. Using an acronym, H.A.R.M.O.N.Y., John explains how we can maintain our focus on Christ. This prevents us from getting in the way of carrying out the mission of Christ. sermon Sun, 06 Jun 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/get_along.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/covering_love.mp3 It happens all the time. Perhaps, most recently, it was your spouse, friend, child, brother, or sister. You found a fault with another's weakness. Perhaps, after 10 years of marriage, you find the tube of toothpaste just isn't in the shape you want. We need to learn not to nitpick at small things. We need to have a love that helps us be at peace with one another. In today's sermon, John shares how we can have a love like we want others to have for us-a love that covers over our sin. sermon Sun, 23 May 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/covering_love.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/tenderness.mp3 Our world seems to grow colder and colder. The emotional bonds we share with people grow weaker and weaker. We focus on self, with little, if any regard, for others. Our world, and many people in it are hard-hearted. God, however, wants us to be of a tenderheart. To see and be the way God wants us, we need to see with God's eyes, feel with God's heart, and treat others as Christ treats us. sermon Sun, 16 May 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/tenderness.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/mothers_faith.mp3 On Mother's Day, John explains what a real mother does.

Today we learn how important it is to wait on God and to go through hardships, because hardships help us develop patience. Also, we learn how important it is to love and to let go of the little frustrations and to just slow down and not be so busy. sermon Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/John_patience.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/patience.mp3 Adam is giving us a message from God. The message is about patience. We all want to know what are am I doing next? We like to have a plan, even a general one of where we are going in life, what we are going to do with our life, etc. Adam then starts defining what patience is not, from the passage in Genesis 15.1-5 and Genesis 16.1-4. Next, Adam extols us to wait on God's time, not from our time. sermon Sun, 18 Apr 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/patience.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/ministry_celebration.mp3 As we celebrate the Wagner family and their 10 years of ministry with the people here in Versailles, Todd Sorgea speaks to us.Taking cues from Micah 6.8, and the ministry of the Wagner family, Todd Sorgea delivers a message about serving God by acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God. sermon Sun, 11 Apr 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/ministry_celebration.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/sunrise.mp3 This sermon is from the sunrise service.

He uses the passage of Philippians 2.3-11, to challenge us to put God first, others second, and self is last. sermon Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/actions.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/seeking_God.mp3 Mark Sidebottom delivers this message about seeking God through prayer. sermon Sun, 21 Mar 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/seeking_God.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/submitting_to_God.mp3 Description coming soon. sermon Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/submitting_to_God.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/isurrender.mp3 So often, we focus on ourselves. We have ads telling us we deserve rest, relaxation, food, enjoyment, etc. Jesus, says, "Deny yourselves." How hard is it to not focus on self? When we forget about God, it is easy to let our focus be on self. We need less of self and more of God. John Wagner tells us how to deny self and start following Jesus. sermon Sun, 07 Mar 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/isurrender.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/call_salvation.mp3 Our movies and television are full of it. It is a part of our legends and fairy tales. Perhaps, it is a princess wanting saved from a tower. Maybe a people want to break the chains of oppression. We, in some form of another, what to know how to be saved. God's word tells us how He wants to save us and how He can save us. The remaining question is: will you answer His call of salvation? sermon Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/call_salvation.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/god_sure.mp3 Why does God choose to use us? Why does He make those strange choices? The Bible tells us that we don't need to be smart, rich, or of royal blood. We don't have to be special of our own right. God already loves us and accepts us for who we are. sermon Sun, 21 Feb 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/god_sure.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/valentine.mp3 We've heard the idea before; married couples lose thier passion for each other. How can a couple maintian their relationship? How can they keep their Valentine dream of love? John uses Philippians 2.1-2 to show us how to keep the dreams alive. sermon Sun, 14 Feb 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/valentine.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/call.mp3 Sometimes you miss it. Maybe, you couldn't get to the phone, or maybe the phone was on vibrate. Perhaps, you even turned off your phone while you were in the theater. However it happens, we missed the call. That's bad enough. Imagine the caller leaves a voice message. What happens when you don't understand the message? God calls us. He is the caller. Today, John gives understanding to God's calling for you. sermon Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/call.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/five_fingers.mp3 Today, we see how simple faith can be. Using each of the fingers on one hand, we learn how we can be saved. sermon Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/five_fingers.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/one_faith_foundation.mp3 Today, we look at what the scriptures say about seven foundations of our faith. From Ephesians 6, we find there is only one body, Spirit, hope, faith, baptism, and one Lord, Jesus Christ. Even though not all believers agree on every aspect of life, we can agree on the One who saves us. sermon Sun, 24 Jan 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/one_faith_foundation.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/one_faith.mp3 John delivers a message about how we are to walk in our faith. Taking cue from Ephesians 4.1-6, we learn how our walk should be one like Christ's, and not of discord or pride. We also learn that the path Christ asks us to take is not easy, but He will be there guide us. sermon Sun, 17 Jan 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/one_faith.mp3 http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/prison.mp3 Danny Camp tells us about his work with the prison ministry in the state of Missouri.

We look back to the start of the Christian Church. As Christians, we want to find what Jesus wants us to do, how He wants us to act, and what He wants us to say. Our goal is to reform ourselves to be like Him. sermon Sun, 03 Jan 2010 13:00:00 CST http://www.welcome2fccv.org/audio/christian_church.mp3
