Can we worship whatever god(s) we want or live in any way we desire and still end up in the same place as everyone else? Senior Minister Dan Toney addresses these questions and more in our final message from the series. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=doesnt-matter-god-never-said-series Sun, 21 Oct 2018 18:49:33 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2711 2711 Dan Toney God Never Said That We live in an age of moral relativism. "It's OK for me to (some kind of questionable action) as long as no one gets hurt." But the truth is that sin is sin. Our actions do matter and sin has consequences: earthly consequences and eternal consequences without Jesus. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=god-wont-give-can-handle-god-never-said-series Tue, 16 Oct 2018 20:00:43 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2708 2708 Dan Toney God Never Said That It's one of the most common statements that people use when someone is facing a crisis, but did God actually say He would never give us more than we can handle? 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=god-wants-happy-god-never-said-series Sun, 07 Oct 2018 20:06:25 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2703 2703 Dan Toney God Never Said That Have you ever been accused of saying something that you didn’t say? It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Or maybe, somebody twisted your words to say what they wanted them to say. Also very frustrating. It happens all the time. We see it in politics on both sides of the aisle every day. Sometimes when our words are misrepresented, we just have to let things go. People are going to think what they want to think. We know what we said, and hopefully, the truth will come out one day. But sometimes, we have the chance to clarify our words and set the record straight. Those times feel good. God has spoken to us through His word, the Bible. It’s all right there in black and white (and red if Jesus said it). But even though it is written down for us, there is still the temptation to twist His words around to say what we want them to say. How do you think that makes God feel? He is probably frustrated just like we are when our words are twisted around. And in a culture that is more and more Bible illiterate, it seems that God’s words are getting twisted around more frequently. That’s not a good trend. In October, we will be going through a sermon series called “God Never Said That.” We will look at a few statements that people often claim are in the Bible, but God never actually said. Overall, we will be emphasizing how important it is to know what God really did say in His Word. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=living-spirit-filled-life-holy-spirit-series Sun, 23 Sep 2018 17:23:49 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2694 2694 Dan Toney The Holy Spirit Being filled with the Holy Spirit means to fully allow the Spirit to be in control of your life. This final message in our series talks about living every day with the fullness of the Spirit in our lives. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=spiritual-gifts-holy-spirit-series Sun, 16 Sep 2018 18:50:45 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2690 2690 Dan Toney The Holy Spirit Every single person is important and has a significant role in the body of Christ if they are willing to let God use them. As 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) says, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others..." 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=for-in-through-the-holy-spirit Sun, 09 Sep 2018 17:32:42 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2687 2687 Jordan Andler The Holy Spirit Youth Minister Jordan Andler preaches the second message in our series on the Holy Spirit. Many Christians treat the Holy Spirit like a tiny magician who lives in their pocket to pull out any time they want a magic trick. But in reality, the Holy Spirit does what He wants, when He wants, where He wants, how He wants, without your permission. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=dont-scared-holy-spirit-series Sun, 02 Sep 2018 19:46:11 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2680 2680 Dan Toney The Holy Spirit We think we understand God the Father pretty well. We think we understand God the Son pretty well. But if we are honest, many of us are a little confused or intimidated by the Holy Spirit. In this first message of our Holy Spirit series, we begin to get a fuller understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=stay-close-jesus-finish-line-faith-series-2-timothy Sun, 26 Aug 2018 17:27:53 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2675 2675 Dan Toney Finish Line Faith Our last message from this 2 Timothy series sums up everything in the letter to one phrase: stay close to Jesus. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=sin-will-derail-finish-line-faith-series-2-timothy Sun, 19 Aug 2018 18:11:41 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2663 2663 Dan Toney Finish Line Faith "A sin is a sin, no matter how you dress it up."

Now, Week 2 finds us asking God to break us. "The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.

Some fears can block or even cripple your relationship with God.

At the death of Jesus, it says, "...the earth shook and the rocks split." (Matt. 27:51b). And then on the day that Jesus rose from the dead, it says, "There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it." (Matt. 28:2) God still wants to get our attention. He doesn't always use physical earthquakes, but that doesn't mean He isn't trying to shake us up. Ephesians 5:14 says, "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you." What about you? Is God trying to get your attention? Is He saying, "Wake up, O sleeper?" 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=mending-fences-broken-dreams-series Mon, 26 Mar 2018 02:46:42 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2526 2526 Dan Toney Broken Dreams In the final chapter of Joseph's story, we see how he chose to reconcile with his brothers, once and for all.

God made our minds to dream, but rarely do our dreams completely intersect with reality. Dreams are broken along the way. But often, we can see how God was at work and how He was with us through those broken dreams. We can usually see that He had an even better plan for us than we ever dreamed. For the next several weeks, we will look at the life of Joseph. His life was filled with all kinds of heartaches and broken dreams, yet through it all, God was working. We begin today by looking at broken families. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=go-ahead-throw-first-stone-pictures-grace-series Sun, 04 Feb 2018 19:13:24 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2492 2492 Dan Toney Pictures of Grace In this last sermon of the series, Senior Minister Dan Toney looks at the story of the adulterous woman who faced stoning. 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=extravagant-pictures-grace-series Sun, 28 Jan 2018 21:06:27 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2490 2490 Dan Toney Pictures of Grace God's love for us is extravagant! 0:00 http://www.firroadcc.org/?sermons=grace-o-t-pictures-grace-series Sun, 21 Jan 2018 15:56:25 +0000 http://www.firroadcc.org/?post_type=sermons&p=2482 2482 Dan Toney Pictures of Grace Many Christians disregard the Old Testament when looking for examples of God's grace.

Even if you don't believe what it says, it is undeniable that in all of history there has never been anything more produced, more controversial, and more shaping of culture than the Bible.
