    Be Ready - Mark Hazzard | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Guest Speaker Mark Hazzard preached a message entitled "Be Ready." Speaker Mark Hazzard walked us through Matthew 24, where Jesus reminds His disciples that while no one knows the day or hour of His return, His followers are called to live with watchfulness and readiness. Drawing from Jesus’ comparison to the days of Noah, We are challenged  not to become distracted or complacent but to recognize the urgency of the times and remain faithful in our walk with Christ. He also encouraged us to consider those in our circle of influence who do not yet know Jesus, reminding us that the call to be ready includes sharing the hope of the Gospel with others. This message invites us to live each day prepared for Christ’s return, faithfully serving Him and pointing others to Him while there is still time. ✍️ NotesTitle: Be Ready – Mark HazzardThen Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Matthew 24:1-3 (NKJV) "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:36-44 In my opinion, one of the most critical signs that we are in the last days…is that people will not pay attention to the signs that we are in the last days. ⭑Are you ready for the return of Jesus?⭑Are there people in your circle of influence who don’t know Jesus? Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

    Signs of the Times - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled "Signs of the Times." Pastor Ben walked us through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24, reminding us that what we believe about the end times influences how we live today. He highlighted Jesus' warnings that deception, global unrest, persecution, and false prophets will increase, while the Gospel continues to be proclaimed to all nations. Rather than living in fear, Pastor Ben encouraged us to remain watchful, steadfast in our faith, and ready for Christ's return, holding firmly to His promise that He will come again in power and glory. ✍️ Notes Title: Signs of the Times – Ben Johnson"Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Matthew 24:1-14 (NIV)  “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Matthew 24:30-31 (NIV) ⭑ What you believe about the end, influences how you live now. ⭑ Deception will increase⭑ Global chaos will increase⭑ Persecution will increase⭑ Many will turn away and hate – false prophets⭑ The Gospel will be preached Be Ready “Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” Matthew 24:42 (NIV) 📅 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    / fachurchyyc  🎵 LIKE OUR WORSHIP Tehillah Worship | @tehillahworshipyy...

    Marriage Matters - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled "Marriage Matters." Pastor Ben unpacked Ephesians 5:25–33, reminding us that God's design for marriage reflects the profound relationship between Christ and His Church. He encouraged us to believe right by embracing God's purpose for marriage, build right through the foundational principles of love and respect, and love right by following Christ's example of sacrificial, selfless love. This message challenged us to honor God's design for marriage by cultivating relationships marked by humility, mutual respect, and Christlike love that points others to the Gospel. ✍️ Notes Title: Marriage Matters – Ben Johnson Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her  to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present herto himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:25-33 ⭑ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy (25.26) ⭑ This is a profound mystery - but I am talking about Christ and the church. (32) 1. Believe RightFor this reason, a man will leave his father and mother an be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. (31) “Haven’t you read,”he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV) 2. Build Right Building Blocks: Love & Respect However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. 3. Love Right ⭑ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her… (Ephesians 5:25) ⭑ Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another. (Ephesians 5:21) Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands. Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness…And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage.

    Dear Family Member - Jeremiah Niengor | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Pastor Jeremiah Niengor preached a message entitled "Dear Family Member." Through Hosea 2:14–15, Pastor Jeremiah walked us through the story of God's relentless pursuit of His people despite the relational fracture caused by sin. He showed us that God's response is not to abandon us, but to pursue us – to allure us, bring us into the wilderness, speak tenderly to us, give generously, and transform our places of trouble into doors of hope. Pastor Jeremiah reminded us that the wilderness is not a place of punishment but a place where God has our full attention and restores intimacy with Him. He also emphasized that while love operates on covenant, God's love is so faithful that even when the covenant is broken, He pays the price anyway. This message reminded us that although humanity's deepest wound is relational rupture, God never stops coming after His children, offering restoration, hope, and the invitation to return to Him. ✍️ Notes Title: Dear Family Member – Jeremiah Niengor “Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. Hosea 2:14-15 Scene 1: The Letter Scene 2: The Fracture If Relation fracture is humanity’s deepest problem, then the question become: How does God respond? Scene 3: The Pursuit I will allure - God pursuesI will bring - God doesn’t abandonI will speak - God restores intimacyI will give - God is generous I will make - God transforms The wilderness isn’t punishment. It’s where God has your full attention. “He is not a passive recipient of your rejection. He is an active participant in your reclaiming.” Scene 4: The Door The deepest human wound is relational rupture. And God moves toward it. Scene 5: The Price Love operates on covenant. And when covenant is broken, love pays the price anyway. “Maybe the greatest surprise in Hosea isn’t that God’s people wandered. It’s that God never stopped coming after them.” 📅 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    / fachurchyyc  🎵 LIKE OUR WORSHIP Tehillah Worship | @tehillahworshipyyc

    Act Like Men: Marks of a Godly Man - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled “Act Like Men, Marks of a Godly Man.” Pastor Ben unpacked Paul’s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 to “be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong,” while reminding us that everything we do must be done in love. He explained that biblical manhood is not about dominance or pride, but about living with courage, humility, and steadfast faith in Christ. Pastor Ben encouraged us to remain spiritually alert, grounded in God’s Word, and clothed in the character of Christ, as described in Galatians 3:27-28. He also highlighted that godly men lead with love, reflecting God’s heart by pursuing justice, mercy, and humility, while caring for the vulnerable as seen in Micah 6:8 and Psalm 68. This message challenged us to pursue a life marked by strength, faithfulness, and Christlike love. ✍️ Notes Title: Act Like Men, Marks of a Godly Man – Ben Johnson Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (ESV) I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, and observe what the Lord your God requires… 1 Kings 2:2-3 (NIV) And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus… Galatians 3:27-28(NLT) Watchful: “Be watchful,” Therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then… Ephesians 6:13-14 (NIV) Leads with Love: “Let all that you do be done in live.” He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

    The Baptism in the Holy Spirit: The Promise is for You - Ben Johnson | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled "The Baptism in the Holy Spirit - The Promise is for You.” Pastor Ben explored Jesus’ promise to His followers that they would be baptized in the Holy Spirit and receive power to be His witnesses, as recorded in Acts 1:4–9. He explained the three baptisms found in Scripture: being baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, being baptized in water as a public declaration of faith, and being baptized in the Holy Spirit by Jesus for empowerment in ministry. Pastor Ben also taught about the gift of tongues, describing it as a sign of the Spirit’s filling, a prophetic exhortation that builds up the church, and a prayer language that enables believers to speak directly to God. Through this message, we were reminded that the promise of the Holy Spirit is still for believers today, empowering us to live boldly and faithfully for Christ. ✍️ Notes Title: The Baptism in the Holy Spirit – Ben JohnsonOn one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.  For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”  He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. –Acts 1:4-9 (NIV) When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.–Acts 2:1-4 (NIV) THREE BAPTISMS Baptized into the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13) by the Holy Spirit Baptized in Water (Romans 6:4) by a Disciple Baptized in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:8) By Jesus On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

    The Devine's Benefit Package - Marshall Eizenga | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Guest Speaker, Marshall Eizenga preached a message entitled “The Divine’s Benefit Package.” Drawing from Psalm 103, Pastor Marshall highlighted the incredible benefits God graciously gives to His people — forgiveness, healing, restoration, favour, contentment, and spiritual enablement. Focusing on the promise that God “heals all your diseases,” Pastor Marshall reminded us that God cares deeply about every part of our lives — physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. He encouraged us to trust God even in seasons where healing may not yet be visible, choosing faith over fear and believing in the unseen because we know the One who is faithful. Through David’s example, we were challenged to hold onto a faith that remains strong and alive, confidently resting in God’s power, goodness, and sustaining grace. This message invited us to remember God’s faithfulness and to walk daily in gratitude for His divine care and provision. ✍️ Notes Title: The Divine’s Benefit Package – Marshall EizengaDr. H.L. Wilmington: “Psalm 103 contains precious and personal promises which all believers can feed upon.

    Devoted: One Church, One World, One Mission - Mark Hazzard | First Assembly Church

    This past Sunday, Guest speaker Mark Hazzard preached a message entitled "Devoted: One Church, One World, One Mission." Drawing from Matthew 28:18–20, Pastor Mark emphasized both the urgency and clarity of Jesus’ Great Commission to "go and make disciples." He challenged us to consider four important questions: Who should be making disciples? What does making disciples look like? Who should we disciple? And when should we make disciples? Pastor Mark reminded us that disciple-making is not reserved for a select few but is the calling of every believer, empowered by Christ’s authority and presence. This message encourages us to live with purpose, embracing our mission to make disciples wherever God has placed us. ✍️ Notes Title: Devoted. One Church, One World, One Mission – Mark Hazzard“18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
