    Guest Speaker: Steadfast - George Elias

    Sunday’s service began with powerful worship, heartfelt baptisms, and meaningful communion, filled with phrases that lingered—“Oh how we love You,” “When faith meets the water,” and “Jesus says it and does it.” Pastor Josiah introduced the guest speaker, his father and evangelist George Elias, who shared photos of Josiah’s baptism and ordination while expressing gratitude for how Josiah and Ashley lovingly shepherd Faith Chapel. George spoke on steadfastness from Psalm 57:7, reminding us to stay firm and balanced in our walk with the Lord despite the enemy’s distractions. He urged believers to nurture their God-given dreams and shared “6 Keys to Living Steadfast in 2026”: strengthening marriage and family, walking in calling and purpose, cultivating prayer and intimacy, trusting God through life’s circumstances, standing firm against sin, and living a lifestyle of soul-winning. With Scripture woven throughout, George encouraged the church to finish well, live faithfully, and let our lives reflect Jesus’ love to a world in need.

    Red Letters: The Grateful Return - Pastor Josiah Elias

    Pastor Josiah asked, “What do you bring to the King?” and answered, “A gift of honor simply,” reminding us that Jesus is worthy of it all. At FC, where the mission is to culture like Christ and the vision is Jesus, we reflected on the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17. These men lived isolated in “no man’s land,” yet when they cried out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us,” their faith and obedience led to healing as they went to show themselves to the priests. Like them, we are called to hear, believe, and do—trusting God to meet us in motion even when we do not yet see the miracle. Pastor Josiah also encouraged us to “keep telling your stories,” for testimonies carry the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10) and reveal God’s power to transform lives. Just as the lepers likely heard of Jesus through someone else’s story, our testimonies can inspire faith in others. We were reminded that God moves in new ways—Jesus healed the blind differently each time—so we must release preconceived notions and stay open to His direction. Like the one thankful leper who returned to glorify God and received not just healing but wholeness, may we be people who move in faith, give thanks with honor, and keep our eyes on Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

    Red Letters: The Answer -Pastor Josiah Elias

    This message centered on Jesus as Emanuel—“God with us”—reminding us that He will never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), a truth echoed through worship that lifted our hearts to the Lord. Though we may find ourselves in seasons of spiritual battle, Scripture assures us that victory belongs to the Lord (Proverbs 21:31), calling us to rest in Him rather than strive. Pastor Josiah walked us through John 11 and the story of Lazarus, highlighting faith beyond deadlines, when human hope seems exhausted but God still has the final word. Through Martha and Mary, we saw both active faith and abiding faith, culminating in Jesus’ powerful declaration, “I am the resurrection and the life,” one of His five “I Am” statements that demand not only belief but lived trust every day of the week. Even in grief and confusion, Mary ran to Jesus, and Jesus met her pain with compassion—“Jesus wept”—revealing a Savior who understands our suffering and remains faithful. As the stone was rolled away despite objections and decay, we were reminded that revival and growth may come with discomfort, yet thanksgiving prepares the way for miracles. Jesus’ command, “Lazarus, come out,” demonstrated that He is the Answer who calls life out of death and restoration out of despair. The paramount point remains: don’t get lost in the questions when you can be found in the Answer—Jesus, who loves us, restores us, sits with us in our pain, and is more than enough in every circumstance.

    Red Letters: The Twin - Pastor Josiah Elias

    The young boy who offered his five loaves and two fish reminds us that when we give Jesus what we have, He multiplies it beyond measure. Pastor Josiah shared how our small acts of generosity allow us to “write ourselves into the story.” Continuing FC’s mission to culture like Christ and vision of Jesus, this week’s message—“The Twin”—focused on Thomas, who moved from doubt to deep faith. From John 11, we saw that Lazarus’s story “would not end in death” but in God’s glory, reminding us that even when we’re in the middle of struggle, the story is not over. Jesus performs miracles not to impress but to reveal His love and character. Through Thomas, we learned that pain and disappointment can cloud our faith, but Jesus invites us, like Thomas, to look up, believe, and be transformed. Pastor Josiah urged us, “Don’t let pain suffocate your faith.” Instead, lift your eyes to the Savior—He is still mending hearts, restoring hope, and bringing light into our darkest places.

    Red Letters: The New Mercy Seat - Pastor Josiah Elias

    This powerful message takes us deep into Luke 16, where Jesus shares the sobering account of the rich man and Lazarus—a story that forces us to confront the eternal consequences of how we live today. What makes this teaching particularly striking is that it's the only parable where Jesus names specific individuals, suggesting this may be more than just a story—it could be an actual account of eternal realities. We're challenged to examine our stewardship not just of money, but of our entire lives. The rich man had everything he wanted in his earthly existence, living in luxury while Lazarus suffered at his gate. Yet after death, their positions were eternally reversed. This isn't primarily about wealth versus poverty, but about the heart condition that our choices reveal. Abraham's bosom represents the place where the faithful rested before Christ's ultimate sacrifice, while Hades held those separated from God. The chasm between them couldn't be crossed—a haunting reminder that our eternal destiny is determined by decisions we make in this life. What's most convicting is the rich man's realization that even someone rising from the dead wouldn't convince his brothers to change. We have everything we need right now—Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and the testimony of Christ's resurrection—to make the choice that matters most. This message isn't meant to motivate us through fear of hell, but to awaken us to the beauty of falling in love with Jesus and living a life that honors Him while we still have breath in our lungs.

    How To Develop Conquering Faith - Bruce Grecco

    This powerful exploration of Joshua chapter 2 takes us beyond the familiar story of Jericho's walls to uncover what it truly means to live with conquering faith. We discover that God hasn't just called us to be intimate worshipers—though that's beautiful and essential—but also to be invincible warriors who push back the gates of hell. The narrative of the two spies finding Rahab becomes a prophetic picture of how God sends us out to be fruitful and multiply His kingdom. What's remarkable is that these spies found the one person in all of Jericho who believed in God, and she happened to be a prostitute whose very name means 'wide and spacious'—a stunning reminder that what we see as impossible, God sees as an opportunity to blow things wide open. We learn four essential pillars of conquering faith: trusting God's process even when it doesn't make sense, trusting His possibilities when circumstances seem hopeless, trusting His providence to provide exactly what we need, and trusting His preparation that goes before us into our future. The message challenges us to stop wandering in our own wilderness of doubt and step into the promised land of victory that God has already secured for us. Every promise we're meant to capture comes with a problem to be conquered, but God has already prepared the solution before we even arrive at the challenge.

    Red Letters: In God We Trust - Pastor Josiah Elias

    Joel Munoz encouraged us with Matthew 7:24 and Hebrews 12:28–29, reminding us to stand on the Rock and be thankful for the unshakable kingdom we’ve received. Pastor Josiah’s message, “In God We Trust,” pointed us back to the heart behind our national motto and to whom our trust truly belongs. From Luke 16, Jesus’ parable of the shrewd manager illustrated how our handling of worldly possessions reveals the condition of our hearts. Pastor Josiah reminded us that tests from God are not traps but opportunities for revelation and growth—He sees everything and still loves us. We must choose who our master will be, for no one can serve both God and money. Our money can serve God, but God will never serve money. True trust in Him brings freedom, blessing, and an eternal perspective. When we prioritize Jesus above all, we become salt and light in a world that desperately needs His truth and grace.
