Fusion Community Church

Nobody's perfect; Jesus didn't expect us to be and neither do the people at Fusion Community Church. Did you know Jesus walked into one of the most imperfect cities of His time and started a church among some of the most imperfect people of His time and laid the foundation for His work right in the heart, of it fully aware that no one there was perfect(not even a little bit)?! And it grew, it grew big!!He chose people like you and me over the more "respectable" people of His time (high priests, rulers, leaders) because He knew that we were the ones that would understand His teachings and follow His life as an example because of all of our countless experiences. Let's wrap up the last week of this mini-series listening to what He did and why He did it at the heart of human imperfections. Join us next week for the start of a new series!

We're not perfect and we don't want you to be either! Ever question if your faith is "strong enough" or compare yourself and your walk with God with someone else? Maybe you didn't "measure up" to be perfect? Good! Jesus used the average people to be His disciples and He used average moments to talk about God and our walks;people just like you and me. There is no perfect faith, there is no measurement of faith, there is only faith; like when Peter stepped out of the boat in the smallest faith and he walked on water! Fusion Community Church doesn't want you to be perfect and we don't require some great sign of a deep and artificial faith. We want you to be developing your faith in God with us through life and walk the walk together expanding and exploring your faith in God! Every step, regardless how small or big, is a step in the direction of faith!

Are you perfect? None of us at Fusion Community Church are and we hope you aren't either so we can walk the walk of faith and grow together in our experiences; just as Christ desired us to!! The disciples weren't perfect and they were preferred over the "religious leaders" of their time! Christ reached out to the people that weren't perfect because they were teachable, they were capable of sharing their imperfect life experiences with one another and grow together in fellowship in God's design. Start our 3 week mini-series today knowing that none of us are perfect , nobody is expected to be perfect and we all value our experiences (good or bad) so we can grow  and learn together in Him!

Do you have margins in place in your life? Margins are the flexible times in our schedules outside of the have to do things(daily responsibilities); our "down times" where we make  our relationships a priority in the way they deserve and the way Christ calls us to. Today we will look at living intentionally with our time, not over scheduling ourselves  or our children with "busyness" and leaving margins in our schedules for less stress and more intimacy with our family relationships.

This week Pastor Fetter talked about balance and how it relates to our relationships with our family and friends. He used David as an example of this balance. Proverbs 13 challenge:

"The STRENGTH of family life is tied to the STRENGTH of SEL-DISCIPLINE."

Living IN BOUNDS in an OUT OF BOUNDS world

Affection- Time with attention

Discipline- Boundaries with love

This week we began our new series Family Vacation. Listen in as we dove in to Deuteronomy 6.

This week Pastor Andrew finished off the Soul Detox series...

This week Pastor Tim talked about how septic thoughts can cause strongholds in our lives!

1 Peter 2:11 (NLV) ¹¹ Dear friends, your real home is not here on earth. You are strangers here. I ask you to keep away from all the sinful desires of the flesh. These things fight to get hold of your soul. 3 Torturous of our Souls

1. The Sinful Things we've done
2. Sin we secretly carry with us
3. The lies we believe

3 Ways to Attack the Torture

1. It's better to confess my sins than to try to hide them
2. Tell your soul that Christ will set me free!
3. Confess my sins to a fellow traveler

James 5:16 (NIV) ¹⁶ Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
