Sermon Recap

Jeff Davis | January 23rd, 2022 |Mark 4

A Working Faith

Pastor Jeff continued our study of the book of Mark as he focused on Chapter 4. The title of his message was A Working Faith. While the chapter contains several parables, he chose to review the story of Jesus calming the storm. He emphasized that Jesus questioned the disciples by asking them, “Do you still have no faith?” You either believe or have faith in God or you don’t. The type of faith he was referencing is progressive and comes by hearing the Word of God again and again. Once we establish that depth in our faith, like our elder brother Jesus, we can declare “let us go to the other side.” No matter the storm or difficulty you may be facing in your life today, lean on your faith and watch God calm the wind and sea.

As we continue our study on the book of Mark please note the following study schedule to help with your personal preparation for the coming Sunday service:

– 01-30-2022 –

Key verses: Mark 5:15, 29, 42 “15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.”

Greetings FreeWay Church Family,

There will be some changes that are necessary as we share space with another congregation. Initially, the primary change is that we have moved the service start time to 11:00AM

Additionally, we will continue to utilize basic COVID protocols during the service for the health and safety of the entire FreeWay church family. Please make every effort to adhere to these guidelines:

· If you are feeling sick, please stay home

· If you are not vaccinated, please wear a face covering

· Those that are vaccinated are free to continue wearing face coverings

· Limit social interactions, such as close distances and hugging

· Sanitizer stations and extra masks will be available at each service

We will continue to stream service through Facebook Live and recordings will be posted to the FreeWay website and podcast. Please be patient as we are trying to get those posts caught up and available within a couple of days of Sunday’s service.

I know this is a time of transition for our church. I am so proud of how we have not allowed these changes to affect our service and outpouring of love for one another. This should be the last time we have to change service location and time as we are continuing renovations on our permanent church home in Central.

We will continue our work toward the realization of our vision, understanding that true freedom in Christ begins with service. I am eager to see how God continues to bless His people this New Year!

Now Faith,

Pastor Jeff Davis
