No Sermon Today, but a Preview of the Upcoming Sermon Series!

After nine Sundays in a row, I'm taking today off from preaching as my friend and colleague over at Community Christian Church, Rev. Phil Rushton, will be taking over at FCC for today as he preaches on Philippians 4:10-20.  Phil is a great guy and an insightful writer; he keeps a blog entitled Intersect over on Wordpress.


In the meanwhile, however, I've been looking towards the future and what is next on our plate at FCC, and so I will share with you what will be in our monthly newsletter that comes out this week--a preview of our August sermon series, "Ego Eimi."  That preview is below.  If you're nearby, I hope to see you for this new series, and if you're far away, I hope you'll enjoy following along with us!


Yours in Christ,
Eric

After two months of being eyeballs-deep in the book of Revelation, we’ll switch gears in August to some more familiar fare—we’ll be spending the four Sundays of August exploring the famous “I am” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John.  We already studied one this year—Jesus’s “I am the Resurrection and the Life” statement in the raising of Lazarus in John 11 back in the spring—and we’ll study the other six this month!  Lastly, a note about the series title: ‘ego eimi’ is Greek for “I am,” which is what John uses to depict Jesus’s immortal words.  I hope and pray that you will find this new four-week sermon series meaningful and uplifting!

I’ll see you Sunday,

Pastor Eric
