  1. Come Closer - Merrie Eizenga | First Assembly Church

    FEB 25

    Come Closer - Merrie Eizenga | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Pastor Merrie Eizenga preached a message entitled “Come Closer.” Pastor Merrie walked us through Matthew 6, reminding us that God invites us into a real and personal relationship with Him. She shared how giving, prayer, and fasting are simple ways we can draw near to the father in the quiet place. Through the Lord’s Prayer, we were encouraged to come to God with honest, childlike faith, trusting that He already knows what we need. This message warmly invited us to come closer to God with humility, authenticity, and a heart that simply wants to be with Him. ✍️ Notes Matthew 6:1-4 (NLT) “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do —blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.  Give your gifts in private, and your father, who see.” Matthew 6:5-8 (NLT)But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him.” Matthew 6:9-15 (KJV)Pray like this, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. ⭑ “it’s okay to pray like a six-year-old or an old man falling down the stairs.” – Peter Greig Matthew 6:16-18 (NLT) “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS   Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg... 🔗 STAY CONNECTED Take your NEXT STEP: fill out a short form that’ll help us get the conversation started: https://www.fa.church/nextsteps First Assembly | @fa.church @fa.seton https://www.fa.church   / fa.church

  2. Heart Level Righteousness - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    FEB 22

    Heart Level Righteousness - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “Heart Level Righteousness.” Pastor Ben reminded us that true righteousness goes beyond outward behaviour and begins in the heart, because “above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23). Walking through Matthew 5, he showed how Jesus calls us deeper — addressing anger, lust, dishonesty, retaliation, and even how we treat our enemies — revealing that God is after inward transformation, not just external obedience. Pastor Ben encouraged us to live with integrity, purity, and love. Reflecting the character of our heavenly Father. Ultimately, this kind of righteousness is only possible through Jesus, as we receive His righteousness by faith and loving on others because He first loved us. ✍️ Notes Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) “Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it.” Matthew 5:20 (NIV) For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Phariseesand the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:21-22 (NIV) “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. Matthew 5:27-30 (NIV) “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. Matthew 5:33-37 (NIV) “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break  you oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’  But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;  or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:38-41 (NIV) “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Matthew 5:43-45 (NIV) “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:48 (NIV)“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” ⭑ 1 John 4:9 (NIV) “We love because he first loved us.”⭑ 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV) “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”⭑ Philippians 3:9 (NIV)  “and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ —the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.” 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS   Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg... 🔗 STAY CONNECTED Take your NEXT STEP: fill out a short form that’ll help us get the conversation started: https://www.fa.church/nextsteps First Assembly | @fa.church @fa.seton https://www.fa.church   / fa.church

  3. The Salt of the Earth - Adam Meck | First Assembly Church

    FEB 11

    The Salt of the Earth - Adam Meck | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Pastor Adam Meck preached a message entitled “The Salt of the Earth.” Pastor Adam reminded us that Christians are called to be a necessary ingredient for the good of the earth, just as salt was essential in the ancient world. Drawing from Matthew 5:13, he explained that salt was used to savour, preserve, and purify, and that while salt cannot stop being salt, it can stop being used. He emphasized that salt does not exist for itself and that we lose our saltiness when we stay in the shaker. Pastor Adam challenged us to remember that the purpose of the Church is for those not in the room. He encouraged us to live with the right vision and mission by humbly serving within our spheres of society for the sake of God’s Kingdom. ✍️ Notes Title: The Salt of​ the Earth​ - Adam Meck “If Christianity is such an inessential add-on, why become a Christian?​ Still, if someone has a faith worth following, I feel that​ their beliefs should make me feel uncomfortable for not​ doing so. If they share 90 percent of my lifestyle and values,​ then there is nothing especially inspiring about them.​ Instead of making me want to become more like them,​ it looks very much as if they want to become more like me.”​ - Ben Sixsmith, The Sad Irony of Celebrity Pastors. The Spectator, 2020. “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.​ Matthew 5:13 (NIV)​ ⭑ Salt in the ancient world​Savour – Enhance, Flavour, Enjoy. ​Preserve - Prevent moral decay.​Purify - Heal from sin and death. Jesus is saying that as salt is a necessary ingredient for daily life, so we are the necessary ingredient for the good of the earth. ​ ​ “If salt loses its saltiness, how can​ it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” It is impossible for salt to stop being salt. ​It is possible for salt to stop being used. ​ 1. Salt doesn’t exist for itself. ​“The school of the Church is an admirable surgery… not for bodies, but for souls.”​St. Chrysostom, Homily Against Publishing the Errors of the Brethren.​ “Sin demands to have a man​ by himself. It withdraws him​ From the community.” Bonhoeffer, Life Together. ​ 2. We stay in the shaker.​We lose our saltiness when we forget​ that the ultimate purpose of this gathering is for the people not in this room. ​ 3. Right Vision, Wrong Mission​The Seven Spheres of Society​1. Family ​2. Church ​3. Education ​4. Media ​5. Art​6. Business / Economy​7. Government / Social Service​The way we reach our spheres is not by climbing to their peak, but going so low we become their foundation. ​ Responses To The Word: ​​1. Are you isolated from community? Take a step to change that. ​​2. Is your Christian life limited to already Christian circles?​Who are 2-3 people you can intentionally love and serve. ​​3.  What sphere are you in?

  4. The Blessed Life - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    FEB 11

    The Blessed Life - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “The Blessed Life.” Pastor Ben taught from Matthew 4:23–25 and Matthew 5:1–10, showing how Jesus redefines what it truly means to be blessed. We saw that blessing flows from our posture toward God, our response to sin, our relationships with others, and how we endure suffering. Jesus invites us into a life marked by humility, mercy, purity of heart, and peace, a life shaped by the Kingdom of Heaven. Through Christ, we are brought near to God and called to live out His peace in the world. ✍️ Notes Title: The Blessed Life – Ben Johnson Matthew 4:23-25Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.Matthew 5:1-10Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them. He said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ⭑ “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.” Jim Carrey 1. Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit“ Blessed are the poorin spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:3).Attitude: Our attitude about ourselves - when we know we need God. ⭑  “Learn this lesson: not to trust Christ because you repent, but trust Christ to make you repent; not to come to Christ because you have a broken heart, but to come to Him that He may give you a broken heart; not to come to Him because you are fit to come, but to come to Him because you are unfit to come. Your fitness is your unfitness. Your qualification is your lack of qualification.” Charles Spurgeon 2. Blessed Are Those Who Mourn“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matt. 5:4)Attitude:  Our attitude toward our sin - we feel the weight of our own sin. 3. Blessed Are the Meek“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5)Attitude:  Our attitude about others - power under control. 4. Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matt. 5:6)Attitude:  Our attitude toward God – wanting God and His ways 5. Blessed Are the Merciful“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matt. 5:7)Attitude:  Having a forgiving spirit. 6. Blessed Are the Pure in Heart“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matt. 5:8)Attitude:  Having a pure motivation 7. Blessed are the Peacemakers“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matt. 5:9)Attitude:  To go out of our way to make peace. 8. Blessed Are Those Persecuted for Righteousness“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:10–12)Attitude:  Being content and patient during suffering Romans 5:1 (NIV)“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” Ephesians 2:13–14 (NIV)“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

    The Kingdom Breaks In - Mandi Gillis | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Pastor Mandi Gillis preached a message entitled “The Kingdom Breaks In.” Pastor Mandi focused on Jesus’ words in Matthew 4:17, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near,” reminding us that God’s kingdom is present and breaking in now. She highlighted Matthew 4:13–17, where Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled: “The people living in darkness have seen a great light.” Drawing from Jeremiah 23:5–6, she pointed to Jesus as the righteous King who “will reign wisely” and is called “The Lord Our Righteous Savior.” This message called us to repent, to change our lives and to continually repeat our response to the nearness of God’s kingdom. ✍️ Notes Matthew 4:17 NIV “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” "Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali — to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,  the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles — the people living in darkness have Seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”  From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near. Matthew 4: 13-17 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved  and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior." Jeremiah 23:5-6 NIV "Change your life. God's kingdom is here." Matthew 4:17 NIV “Gradually, as Matthew’s story develops, we begin to realize. If the light-bearers insist on darkness, darkness they shall have. If the peace-people insist on war, war they shall have. If the people called to bring God’s love and forgiveness into the world insist on hating everyone else… hatred and all that it brings will come crashing around their ears. This won’t be an arbitrary judgement or punishment; it will be what they themselves have been calling for…This is why they must repent while there’s still time. The kingdom is coming, and they are standing in the way.” N.T.

  6. When Temptation Comes - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    When Temptation Comes - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “When Temptation Comes.” From Matthew 4:1–11, Pastor Ben reminded us that “temptation is common to man” (1 Corinthians 10:13) and that God does not tempt us (James 1:13). He taught that temptation often comes after a spiritual high or in moments of weakness, just as Jesus was led into the wilderness and fasted forty days. Pastor Ben pointed to Jesus’ responses to temptation, declaring “It is written” and affirming that we are called to worship the Lord and serve Him only. He encouraged us that God is faithful and always provides a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13) as we endure temptation. ✍️ Notes Title: When Temptation Comes – Ben Johnson Matthew 4:1-11 (NKJV)Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.” Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. 1. Temptation is common to the human experience“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man…” (1 Corinthians 10:13) 2. God does not tempt us When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; (James 1:13 NIV) 3. Temptation often comes after a spiritual high or before a spiritual breakthrough“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” (Matthew 4:1) 4. Temptation often comes when we feel weak, depleted or poured out“And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.” 5. Satan is a “tempter”, but he has limits“And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” (1 Corinthians 10) 6. Our own desires tempt us“but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.” (James 1:14 NIV) 7. There’s always a way out“But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”(1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV) Jesus and Temptation (Matthew 4)⭑ Lust of the Flesh – Stones → Bread → “Man shall not live by bread alone”⭑ Pride of Life – Jump from Temple → “Do not put the Lord your God to the test”⭑ Lust of the Eyes – All kingdoms now → “Worship the Lord your God” God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

    Here Comes The Kingdom - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “Here Comes The Kingdom.” Pastor Ben walked us through Matthew 3:1–17, highlighting how the arrival of God’s Kingdom is marked by announcement, a voice, and affirmation & anointing. He reminded us that John the Baptist’s call to repentance was a clear announcement that the Kingdom of heaven had come near, preparing hearts for the coming of Jesus. Pastor Ben emphasized the power of being a faithful voice in the wilderness—calling people back to God with humility, obedience, and a life that bears fruit. As Jesus was baptized, we see the Father’s affirmation and the Spirit’s anointing, revealing Jesus’ identity and mission. This message invites us to respond with repentance, live as a clear voice for God’s Kingdom, and walk confidently in the affirmation and calling God places on our lives. ✍️ Notes ⭑ Announcement ⭑ A Voice ⭑ Affirmation & Anointing Matthew 3:1-17In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea  and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”  This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’” John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “you brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wreath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves, we have Abraham as our father. I tell you that out of these stones, God can raise up children for Abraha. 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. I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied,“Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.  As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS   Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg... 🔗 STAY CONNECTED Take your NEXT STEP: fill out a short form that’ll help us get the conversation started: https://www.fa.church/nextsteps First Assembly | @fa.church @fa.seton https://www.fa.church   / fa.church

    The King Is Here - Hunter Gillis | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Pastor Hunter Gillis, preached a message entitled “The King Is Here.” Drawing from Matthew 2:1–12, Pastor Hunter reminded us that the wise men modeled hearts that seek, surrender, and worship Jesus as the true King. He challenged us to confront the “Herod” within our own hearts, laying down anything that resists Christ’s rule. This message calls us to seek Jesus wholeheartedly and respond with joyful worship and surrendered lives. ✍️ Notes Matthew 2:1-12'Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he  who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have cometo worship him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; andassembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulersof Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way. ★ Conquer your Heart and Kill your Herrod ★ A People who Seek★ A People who Surrender Jeremiah 23:13You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. Tim Mackie “The conflict between Jesus and the powers begins right here in Matthew 2. Ironically, even the other nations can see who the king really is, but Israel's current leadership is so invested in the power politics of the day that all they see is a threat.” Charles Spurgeon Those who look for Jesus will see him: those who truly see him will worship him: those who worship him will consecrate their substance to him.” 📅 UPCOMING EVENTS   Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg... 🔗 STAY CONNECTED Take your NEXT STEP: fill out a short form that’ll help us get the conversation started: https://www.fa.church/nextsteps First Assembly | @fa.church @fa.seton https://www.fa.church   / fa.church
