Battling Bitterness
Free Grace Church | Fresno Church Blog
by Matt Troupe
6d ago
Matt Troupe Several Sunday's ago someone asked a question about how to deal with bitterness when it already seems to have set in? And how can we use scripture to help us? Working through questions like this is important because it not only helps us with bitterness, it helps us understand how we deal with other temptations. The word of God, and particularly His word of grace, is an important weapon for battling sin.  We see this in Psalm 119:11 "I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you."  The word stored up in the heart - memorized and meditated upon, p ..read more

Why Your Work Matters

Matt Troupe We have started a monthly men’s BBQ to encourage one another. Last time we discussed the importance of work. Here is the gist of what we learned. Why our work matters Why does my work matter? Why do the tasks that make up my everyday routine have any significance beyond themselves? And why does my work matter no matter how insignificant it seems to the world?  I have found that worldly attempts  to answer these questions fall short. They often center around various understandings of self, or fail to show any transcendence beyond our own lives.  The question of meanin ..read more

Public Bible Reading
Free Grace Church | Fresno Church Blog
by Matt Troupe
2y ago
Why do we take time to read scripture during our Sunday Worship Service? This is an important question because we don't want to do anything by accident in our worship. And at Free Grace we have attempted to root the things we do in scripture. Also, we want all of you to know why this is a biblical practice and not a quirk of our little congregation. If we are honest, taking time to read longer passages of scripture stretches us. Many of us have a pretty short attention span due to our television and social media habits. We are far more used to sound bites than sustained concentration. For wha ..read more

Philippians 4:13 is more glorious than it's common mistranslation
Free Grace Church | Fresno Church Blog

This coming Sunday we will be looking at Philippians 4:10-13 that includes one of the most famous verses in all of scripture for Americans. It is simultaneously one of the most misunderstood and abused. Kent Hughes comments: “…Sadly, Philippians 4:13 has been widely misused as it has been removed from its context and employed as an inspirational snippet to say, “I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me” or “I can do everything (especially extraordinary things) through Christ who strengthens me.” It has been especially abused by those who view their Christianity through the lens of t ..read more

Watch a video version of this announcement here FGC Family,       Covid19 cases and hospitalizations increasing in our state, thankfully the number of deaths has not matched those increases in recent weeks.  This week our governor announced that multiple counties including Fresno have returned to a modified version of lock down for 3 weeks.  What is banned right now is indoor meetings, and this has also been applied broadly to restaurants and other places of meeting.
