Fairview Church Of Christ

John 1:29-51. In the opening chapter of his Gospel, John recounts the calling of the first disciples of Jesus. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman looks at three pictures John paints of disciples pointing people to Jesus and how we can do the same today.

1 Peter 3:21-22. Since baptism is an integral part of God's plan for our salvation in Jesus Christ, the New Testament says much about it. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines five answers the Scriptures give to the question, "What happens in baptism?"

Philippians 1. In the early parts of Philippians, Paul shows the need for church unity and growing together as one family. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams looks at the examples and instructions Paul provided the early Christians to examine why we need each other in the church.

Luke 12:13-21. In the midst of a large crowd, a man voiced his concern to Jesus about receiving his family inheritance. Jesus used his concern as an opportunity to teach. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines the parable of a rich, foolish farmer to learn some valuable lessons for today.

Habakkuk 2:18-20. People tend to become like the things they deeply admire and worship, as we find in this study of Major Lessons from Minor Prophets. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines the last "woe" in Habakkuk 2, along with a blessing.

Many ask why God allows bad things to happen in the world. The Old Testament book of Habakkuk is about this very question. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines how the book of Habakkuk answers the question, "Where is God when bad things happen?"

Philippians 1:21-27. Fairview's congregational theme for 2024 is "Growing Together." In this study, Evangelists Jacob Holman and Gavin Williams preview some of the work Fairview will undertake together for 2024.

While we can start over in life at any time, the beginning of a new year is always a good time to do so. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman considers what God's word says about "starting over."

Hebrews 12:1-2. When we focus on the cross, we often focus on its pain. The author of Hebrews chooses a different focus: the shame of Jesus' trial and crucifixion. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines why the cross was so shameful and how it impacts us.

Philippians 3. Paul urged the early Christians to put aside their past and to strive for the hope of a future resurrection. As we close 2023, Evangelist Gavin Williams reminds us of the stakes of choosing between an earthly or spiritual focus in this study.

Hebrews 11 is all about God's people of old who lived "by faith" and died "in faith." It is all about people who had the ability to see the unseen. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman looks at Moses, one of those individuals with a strong spiritual sight and, thus, was "looking to the reward."

1 Timothy 1:12-17. We all have sinned. In his first letter to Timothy, Paul addresses his previous imperfect life and how he was changed by God's great mercy and grace. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams looks to the example Paul set to see how we can go from being weighed down with the guilt of sin to being transformed in God's grace and living as a faithful servant of His.

Psalm 65. The end of the year is a good time to reflect on God and the many blessings He has given us during the year. In this study from Psalm 65, which speaks of God’s bounty in the fertility of the earth, Evangelist Jacob Holman considers an end-of-year praise for God's bounty.

Romans 8:31-39. Paul encouraged early Christians to be happy. While Christians enjoy many blessings in Christ today, we also experience discouragement. In this second part of his two-part series, Evangelist Jacob Holman continues an examination of the Scriptures for the helps and tools that God has provided for us to defeat discouragement that may come our way.

In his writings, Paul encouraged early Christians to be happy. Today, Christians enjoy many blessings in Christ. But, we do not escape discouragements. In the first of this two-part series, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines the Scriptures for tools God has given us to defeat discouragement when it comes our way.

Acts 4:1-13. This passage recounts a time when Peter and John boldly stood up to those confronting them about their preaching. When someone meets us for the first time, they quickly form an opinion of who we are and where we have been based on our words, attitudes, and actions. This study by Evangelist Jacob Holman, the final in our series of "More Like Jesus" for 2023, examines our lives to see if, like Peter and John in Acts 4:13, there is evidence that we have "been with Jesus."

James 3. Most of the time when we look at James 3, we simply focus on the section on taming the tongue. In this study by Evangelist Gavin Williams, we seek the full picture of James and his admonition to humble your heart and your words and actions will follow.

Genesis 4:1-7. Before Cain committed the first known murder, God gave him some warnings about sin. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines what God said to Cain so we can learn some valuable lessons about sin.

Psalm 52. When David wrote Psalm 52, things were about as bad as they could be. Yet, Psalm 52 is a song of confident trust in God. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams looks at David's words to help us find boldness and confidence in God in the midst of our trials today.

Acts 17. Athens, one of the places where Paul preached the Gospel, was completely given to idol worship. This study by Evangelist Gavin Williams examines Paul's discussion with the Athenians to learn how we can talk about God in places that do not know or accept Him.
