Romans 10:9-10
New King James Version
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 12: 11-13 “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”

Be blessed!

Psalm 73:26 “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Even if our flesh, our heart or our spirit may grow weak or fail, God is still forever our strength. He is still our portion. This means that even if our body will be struck with the worst diseases, or if our heart gets broken over and over again, or of we are crushed in spirit and go through situations where we see no hope, God will forever be our strength, our comfort.

We are excited to share that Pastor Jeremy and the Hands and Feet of Jesus Ministry of JFFC have chosen to donate the mini bus to Warrior Breed. Tyler Wineinger and Dave Sherron shared that they will make great use of it in their organization and that it will help them tremendously in fulfilling their mission of helping veterans. We are excited to collaborate with them in future events, too!

Warrior Breed MC is a 100% traditional, veteran based motorcycle club. They are a 501c3 Non profit organization that helps Veterans in need. They give 100% of all donations that they receive back to assisting veterans in need. Every member is a veteran as well and they volunteer their time into giving back to our brothers and sisters that served in the military. They are a group of like-minded veterans, sharing the brotherhood they all experienced when they served.

WBMC cares about serving those that selflessly served this country. JFFC is thankful to God for this opportunity to bless such an amazing organization with a heart for veterans! We pray favor and blessings over them and their servant hearts! Warrior Breed MC Indiana

We are thankful to have witnessed Pastor Jeremy show his helpmate and wife honor this past Sunday! The love of God, demonstrated by Jesus on the cross, is our foundation for how to treat others. We are to be devoted—committed—to other believers; to act selflessly. We are to honor each other (regardless of status, position, or any other factor) because we are all precious children of God, our Father.

Thank you for this demonstration as it touched all of our hearts, deeply!

To Our Men and Women In uniform, past, present, and future, God Bless you and THANK YOU for your service!

John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” How powerfully true!

What an incredible honor it was to host our 5th Annual Veteran/Military Family night, last evening! It was more than amazing! The abundance of love that was felt from beginning to end can only be described as “incredibly heartfelt”. One veteran said, “I look forward to this event every year.” Another said, “thank you for blessing us, it means a lot.” One man shared, “I’m thankful I made it home.” We could share SO many more heart-felt stories and interactions, but God knows all and we are humbled for these moments. Connecting with our veteran community is truly a blessing and a gift.

The opening ceremony, dinner, gift giveaway was wonderful, but the biggest blessing was to personally connect in conversation with our Veterans and Families. The fellowship of all ages was proof that the Goodness of God was in the room. You could feel the strength and courage in the room throughout the evening as laughter, and joy filled the room. You could Feel Gods love and see the power of unity. Truly we ALL were blessed to be part of something bigger than all of us. We give God all the praise, honor and Glory for every provision!

It is a blessing to see God’s people with a heart for Bible study! Thank you to everyone who came out tonight! To God be the Glory!

Join us for Bible Study tonight at 6:30 in the fellowship hall!

Our lives sometimes seem like juggling acts. Work schedules, school schedules, practice schedules, meal plans, budget plans, laundry lists, and the list goes on and on.

As believers, we are also to consider the balance between our physical needs and our spiritual needs. In order for anything to have balance, it must have a sturdy foundation.

Tonight we will search scriptures together to find what it takes to have a balanced life that thrives and bears fruit!

Thank you to all who joined us for Bible study tonight! What a beautiful move of the love of God:

Tonight we:
read
reflected
responded
Rested in God's Word.

Here are a few reasons scriptures are so vital:
1) The Scriptures Are Words from our Heavenly Father. ...
2) The Scriptures Teach Us by Example. ...
3) The Scriptures Help Us Grow Day by Day. ...
4) The Scriptures Give Us Answers to Our Personal Questions. ...
5) The Scriptures Prepare Us to Meet God.

We pray each of you grow in a deeper relationship with Christ Jesus by reading his word, daily! Be blessed!

Are you struggling balancing faith and works? Most of us do if we are honest with ourselves. We invite you to come and dive into the word as we dig through scripture together where James challenges believers to walk their talk.

Please join us for Family Bible Study this Wednesday, Nov.1 at 6:30 in the fellowship hall! Bring your bibles, an open heart and a willingness to allow the Holy Spirit to renew your mind, will and emotions!

Are you all in for Jesus!?

Lose your life and you will find it.

It's not the easiest thing to do, but it is exactly what Jesus has called us to (Matthew 16:25). A life lived all in is a life fully surrendered to Jesus—a life full of joy. The opposite of all in, a life of simply being aware of who Jesus is, always leads to disappointment.

Choose Jesus every step of the way, through high and low tides of life and ultimately through it all!

Choose Jesus. Follow Jesus. Love Jesus.

The JFFC Family would like to lovingly show appreciation for Pastor Appreciation Month. We want to thank our Pastors for their commitment and sacrifice to the Kingdom of God without asking a reward in return. We thank you for ushering our congregation towards God's truths, obedience, discipline, and blessings. Your bold, courageous and humble examples point us back to Jesus time and time again. Thank you for praying with each of us and leading us in both times of joy and in times of sorrow. Thank you for serving with a servants heart and great joy in the Lord. Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to move and change the hearts and lives of his people. God has greatly blessed the hearts and minds of His people through each of you. For all the years of service, allegiance, and love you have given freely to all without measure…..We say thank you, God bless you and we love you and there is nothing you can do about it! To God be the Glory!

Jesus in on the move! What an outpouring of his power this past Sunday! The Holy Spirit will only demonstrate His power to point to Jesus. We are thankful for a hungry generation of people that gather expecting greater and desire biblical teachings.

Romans 12:19-21 says, “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.”

The human sinful nature has a human response to demand vengeance and not rest until we get it. We see it all around us in this modern day world. So guidance in scripture is our only hope to respond according to his ways that are better than ours. In Romans 12:1-2 we find that Paul urges us to be a living sacrifice, Holy and pleasing to God and to not conform to the pattern of this world.

We find through scripture that we have a command as Christians to not avenge ourselves. As believers we are Saved by Grace-through faith and must understand that the only one to carry out true justice with pure intentions, is God.

Our greatest example is through Jesus. When he was insulted he did not retaliate, when he suffered greatly he made no threats. This is why we must release every situation to Jesus. He is the only one who extends mercy easily and as his people we are called to emulate Gods nature by forgiving others and allow God to be the ultimate Judge.

One of the reasons God brings vengeance is to repay sin. His desire is to lead every person to repentance because he extends it with redemptive intentions and great love and mercy.

What a gift to know that A heart free of vengeance, is a heart free of bitterness. It helps us to walk in humility and gives us a deeper desire to willingly submit our flesh to the spirit. The standard of forgiveness is always through God’s love. But scripture tells us that if we store up wrath we store up wrath against ourselves for the day of Gods wrath.

In this current year of 2023 we should all be willing to ask ourselves this question: “Since He owed us absolutely nothing and has given us great mercy, how should we respond to him? '' The answer is a life of willingness, self-sacrificing worship spent in serving the Lord and other believers, refusing revenge and overcoming evil with good.

May you find your heart, soul and life made Alive in Christ today. May we all humbly put at the forefront of truth and understanding that Nothing is from ourselves, rather ALL is through CHRIST!

May we desire to do good, let God avenge, forgive, seek his glory, seek his honor, and allow him to show us what destiny looks like and feels like as we walk in his destined purpose for our lives .

10/12/2023

The Christian life is not meant to be lived in isolation but in fellowship with other believers. Hebrews 10:24–25 tells us to “consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

If we hope to grow spiritually and endure for the long haul, we need our brothers and sisters in Christ for encouragement and to point us in all ways to follow Jesus!

You are welcome!

Praying for Israel

God invites all believers to pray for Israel day and night. Those who pray are called watchmen by the prophet Isaiah:

“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who call on the Lord, take no rest, and give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth” Isaiah 62:6-7

Ephesians 6:19 NIV
“Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.

Glory to God for Children’s Church!

As parents, part of our job is to help our kids develop good character. The key to truly helping them is to help them keep their eyes on Jesus and hold firmly to the word of life!

Philippians 2:12-16
Do Everything Without Grumbling
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[a] Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

We want to thank all JFFC Pastors and Members who gave generously out of their own pockets the total amount of $4,400 for Israel through John Hagee Ministries (International Fellowship of Christian and Jews).

With so many Jewish people living in unthinkable conditions right now in Israel and around the world — including innocent children, families, and elderly Holocaust survivors — Your donation blessed and helped The Fellowship provide basic necessities like food, medical assistance, and shelter as well as safety and security provisions in times of crisis.

Together, in Unity, God blesses and multiplies when we give of resources he blesses us with! To God be the Glory!

Thank you to all the couples that purposed it in their hearts to be present this year at Marriage Retreat! Thank you to Fairmount Camp for having Pastor Jeremy and Rosalinda speak and share what the Lord laid on their hearts for this season. The outpouring of love and laughter was a blessing. The faith and fellowship of like-minded believers is vital and a witness to the goodness of God. We pray it blessed each of you abundantly and transformed your marriage covenants!

God's omnipresence means that He is present everywhere, all the time. His presence is not limited by time or space. Because God created the universe, He is above all things and holds all things together (Colossians 1:17)

We pray everyone has a safe Labor Day Weekend! Labor Day is our country's most explicit way of recognizing the contributions of workers in this country and the history of labor in the U.S. JFFC promotes sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, laboring, serving in the Kingdom and time spent with family. Because after all God created us to do life together! That being said, there will be no in-building service tomorrow Sunday, Sept. 3! Pastor Jeremy has asked for everyone to gather together and read scriptures, pray, worship and break bread together in the location they find themselves this Sunday. Whether it be at home, at a friends house, on your porch, at your lake house, on your campsite, in your living room, in your loved ones hospital room, in your break room at work or simply getting a group of family/friends/guests together and unify together in the Name of Jesus- gather and remember his presence is omnipresent! We started doing this last year, over all the three major holidays, and it has been amazing to hear the testimonies of the goodness of God, family breakthroughs, and all he has done to strengthen families, friends through different settings and gatherings to worship Christ and share the Gospel! We want to also challenge you to do something out of the generosity of your heart this weekend. Ask the Lord to lead you and guide you, and he will use you to bless others for his Glory! After all, we are his hands and feet!

We look forward to rejoining in fellowship, praise and worship on Sunday, Sept 10th at 9am for prayer and 10am for service! May the Lord bless your willingness to unify together. Please be safe and Be blessed!
