Sermons

Why do we share our faith with others? Is it simply because Jesus told us to, or is there something deeper? In Matthew 28:19–20, Jesus gives us the Great Commission, commanding us to go and make disciples. In Mark 12:28–31, He gives us the Great Commandment, calling us to love God wholeheartedly and love our neighbors as ourselves. These two commands go hand in hand: The Great Commission is our mandate; the Great Commandment is our motive. We reach people because we love people, and we love people because we love God. Join us as we explore how our love for God and others should compel us to share the hope of the gospel now and for generations to come.

From Series: "For Generations to Come"

This is an exciting season in the life of FCCO! This fall, we’re launching For Generations to Come—a capital campaign designed to create physical spaces where ministry can flourish, lives can be changed, and people can grow as followers of Jesus for years to come. Psalm 78:4, 6 captures the heart behind this vision: “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done… so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.” For generations, faithful people have prayed, served, sacrificed, and given so that we could experience the ministry we enjoy at FCCO today. Now it’s our turn. We’ll explore how each of us can be part of what God is doing—not simply by building for today, but by investing in people we may never meet. Join us each Sunday this fall as we discover how our giving, serving, sharing, hope, and priorities can leave a legacy of faith For Generations to Come.
