×We are finishing our series “Thrive,” and Eric finds himself stepping in as the cleanup hitter to talk about joy. Joy is both a state of being and a way of being. You can experience joy, and your life can express joy to others. We are in a season of transition, and sometimes transition can be a little scary. But when we seek all of these things that have shown us how to thrive - clarity, witness, abundance, and kinship - as they come together, we experience joy. We become the people that God has called us to be, and that brings God joy, too. Nehemiah 8:10, 12:27-28a, 30-31, 38a, 40-41a, 42b-43 fmhouston.com…

Today is a graduation of sorts. We celebrate what has led to this point, and we stand on a threshold, where God is preparing us for something yet unknown. Because we know: the God who led me to where I was is going before me. Thriving leads to joy! Are we living in God's joy or weighed down by worry conflict, or grief? The antidote is laughter and joy. Nehemiah 8:10, 12:27-28a, 30-31, 38a, 40-41a, 42b-43 fmhouston.com…

Lance talks about when he first learned “I can do difficult things if I really try. But I can’t do it apart from community.” The walls of Jerusalem were built in 58 days because they focused on their community, on each other. We have a whole community outside the walls of the church that needs that kind of encouragement, that knows “you can do it! But you don’t have to do it alone.” Are we committed to supporting one another and building one another up? How can we create deeper kinship in the church? Nehemiah 6:15-16, 8:1-12 fmhouston.com…
A scarcity mindset leads to inequity, it leads to not sharing freely out of what we have been given. To live a life of abundance, we need to open up our hands to freely share what has been given to us to everyone around us. Abundance flows from our relationships. We need each other, especially in a time like this. It will take all of us working together to make this next step happen. Nehemiah 5:1-18 fmhouston.com…

Nehemiah wanted to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and God made provision because of Nehemiah’s faith. Likewise, we may be smaller in resource, but we are not smaller in faith. God has something more for us. But we just need to have faith as we rebuild. Witness precedes the work. Let us then begin the work of rebuilding the church. Nehemiah 2:9-12a, 15a, 16-20; 4:1-9, 13-15 fmhouston.com…
The hard thing about change, the hard part about grief, is that we so want clarity, but we want to skip over the hard part to get it. We’re in a season where change is here, and there’s pain. It’s okay to name that. It’s okay to be there. Part of what it means to be who we are is to be there for a minute. If we don’t take the time to weep, we don’t take the time to prepare for the long journey ahead. Nehemiah 1:1-11, fmhouston.com…
Have you ever heard of someone trying to build a building without blueprints? To enter a period where we feel God is calling us to thrive, clarity is essential. We are in a difficult position. We have to acknowledge it. We have to sit with the burden. But we also sit with the burden of hope. Nehemiah 1:1-11, 2:1-8 fmhouston.com…
When Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the city, he started not with plans and construction, but with penitence and grief. Before the Israelites could build a new wall, they first needed a new spirit. As this church enters into a new moment, we’re going to continue to follow the Nehemiah story, and we’re going to continue to move forward as one body in one direction. Let’s take action together to rebuild this church that God dearly loves. We need to seek God’s presence before seeking the promise of the future. Nehemiah 1:1-11, 2:1-8 fmhouston.com…

As the church prepares for a massive vote on the future of the church, Lance returns to the Book of Acts and the story of Pentecost. “When we talk about membership in the church, it comes from this passage,” he reminds us. “We are part of one body.” God is calling us to a Pentecost moment, to be all together, one body, one movement, a light shining brightly on a hill. “Movements begin with faith, not certainty.” On the day of Pentecost, the disciples got busy praying. We need a Pentecost moment, too. But it can only happen when the church comes together in prayer. Acts 2:1-12 fmhouston.com…

As Stephen explains, with so many of the pastors out on the West Campus this morning, “today you get me.” But what a lovely thing that ends up being! Sometimes, no matter how many times God moves us, we keep ending up back in the same place. That’s not the plan God has for us! Look around at where God has placed you. You are here. You are a piece of this community. Be part of it. “It is our job not to be the generation that keeps God’s plans from moving forward.” Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14 fmhouston.com…

Lance often is asked for things by his children that aren’t the best for them, and after turning them down for a long time, he’ll allow them to discover the downsides for themselves. Free will comes with choices. But it doesn’t shield you from consequences. When God tells that He knows the plans He has for us, sometimes it doesn’t feel like good news. Sometimes it’s not exactly what we were hoping for. But God has a bigger purpose in mind than anything we could ever imagine. Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14 fmhouston.com…

Lance remembers looking at his sons for the first time and thinking “who are you gonna be?” Expectations can overwhelm us. Come to the waters and remember that you belong to God. God is going to do a new thing. Can’t you perceive it? Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 fmhouston.com

Lance tells the story of a very odd thing: a king, born in a room for animals, lying in a feeding trough. As lowly an entrance as you could imagine. But the story of this humble entrance is also the story of hope. Whatever mess you find in your life, that’s where Christ is born to you. Right where you need him the most, that’s where this gift will be. Luke 2:1-20 fmhouston.com…

It’s easy for things to pile up, and if we aren’t careful, for anxiety to come and stop us in our tracks. So what is the antidote? It is the state of our heart, the state of our mind. A sense of gentleness and graciousness should mark the people of the Lord. “Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes God calms His child.” Philippians 4:4-7 fmhouston.com…
