A year ago, Trinity Church was planted in Spokane Valley. In gardening terms, it was a “cutting” from the parent plant of Faith Bible Church, carefully set into well-prepared soil. It wasn’t easy to send dearly loved brothers and s...

When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Western experts gave Ukraine up to two weeks before it would collapse. Almost a year later, it still stands. This is also true of many churches that almost overnight became the only hum...

Dustin Erbeznik remembers what was like to be lost. He’s encouraging believers to remember the people all around them who still are. Dustin came from a nominally Catholic family and knew of a distant God, but the idea of kn...

It’s a ubiquitous truth that when a friend wants to catch up, a student needs to study, or your family comes to town to say a quick hello, heading to your local coffee shop is natural. Much like the dinner table, people gather around the coffee ...

In Acts 2, thousands of people of many languages came to Jerusalem for Pentecost and heard Peter’s proclamation of the gospel. Many of the 3,000 who were saved that day presumably returned to their homes across the region carrying t...

As believers, we are Christ’s ambassadors in the world. The places we go each day are full of people who need to hear the truth of the Gospel and the full counsel of God contained in his Scriptures. Some of those people would even b...

Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:18-20 to make disciples of all the nations. We know from Revelation 5:9-10 that Christ has purchased people from every tribe and nation. For this reason, we continue sending global partners to take the gospel to the na...

Steve* majored in Professional Golf Management (yes, you can major in golf; 18 US universities offer this major, including the University of Idaho). After some experience managing golf courses in the US, he applied for and was hired to oversee con...

He can do above and beyond all that we can ask or think. Ephesians 3:20 I like those words. They were written by a missionary who had many years to test those words and many opportunities to prov...

Undoubtedly, many Christians in the U.S. were disappointed at the outcome of the recent presidential election. Then there’s COVID-19 with its restrictions, job losses, cancelled vacations and sadly, its deaths. It seems like a year with a lot to...

Hopefully by now you’ve heard that we’ve got something big planned for this Christmas Eve! So far we’ve said it will be nothing like any Christmas Eve service you’ve been to before, and that’s it’s going to be a lot of fun. But by far ...

Ministry While we often think of England as the land of the Puritans and Spurgeon, the current climate in England is one of abject spiritual darkness. The statistics about the modern church in the UK demonstrate that, while England...

Discipleship is a vital aspect of our lives and is a command from God. When Matthew 28:19-20 calls us to, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,” it doesn’t leave o...

One Sunday as Pastor Nathan Thiry concluded his sermon, he challenged us to share the gospel with someone in the coming week. This, of course, is the right and Biblical thing to do. But not so easy for some of us (maybe a lot of us). That evening ...

I remember about a year ago, my eyes were opened and my heart was softened to serve a specific way in my church. A beloved sister at my church had battled with cancer for a while and just recently went home to be with the Lord. What struck me is t...

Recently I was sharing with my friend, Cheryl* the concern I felt over my brother and his rejection of the gospel as found in Scripture. Eric* claims to love God and would say he’s a Christian who is heaven-bound, but his beliefs lack substance ...

Why does Faith Bible Church send and support global partners (what we used to call missionaries before it became a dangerous word)? Many years ago, I was at a missions banquet at a large church in Portland. The MC went around to the six global par...

“Boom!!!!” The noise of crunching metal and a loud impact tell us that a car accident has occurred outside of our house. The sound of a barking dog might alert you to the arrival of a visitor. Crying from a child tells you that some sort of ne...

The house I grew up in was beautiful in the fall. A maple tree twice its height would be ablaze with the colors of autumn right out front. Pumpkins adorned the steps that led to the front door, which often had cornstalks propped up next to it and ...

There are certain books that come along every so often that serve as a knife to the soul and Evangelism as Exiles: Life on Mission as Strangers in our Own Land is one of those books. Not the knife that injures but as a needed scalpel in t...
