Genuine saving faith produces works in the life of the Christian as they joyfully obey and follow the teachings of Christ.
God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 3)Jesus came to be with us—broken, sinful people—and His humility shows what God’s love is really like. Because He emptied Himself and served, we’re called to adopt the same humble mindset toward others.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on December 14, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 2)Hebrews 2:14–17 shows that Christmas matters because God became truly human in Jesus—not in sin, but in our flesh—to accomplish what no one else could. By taking on our nature, Christ destroyed the devil’s power, silenced his accusations, and freed us from the fear and slavery of death. As the perfect High Priest, He represents us before God, bears our sin in propitiation, and gives us His righteousness. Jesus became like us so He could save us, stand for us, and bring us into the life and hope only He can give.Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on December 7, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 1)Jesus, the Lord over all creation and the exact image of the invisible God, has come near—the One through whom all things were made and in whom all things hold together.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceWe tend to assume we’re innocent before God, confident that our good works or moral efforts will tip the scales in our favor, but Paul shows that the law only exposes our failure to meet God’s perfect standard. When every excuse is stripped away and every mouth is stopped, the only hope we have is not our own righteousness but the righteousness of Christ.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on November 23, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul’s purpose in Romans 3:9–18 is to name our true condition before God—that every one of us is “under sin,” unrighteous, and unable to seek or understand Him on our own. Until we see this diagnosis clearly, we won’t recognize why our conduct is so broken or why we desperately need the cure God provides in the gospel.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on November 16, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul shows that people naturally make excuses to avoid taking responsibility for sin, shifting blame or rationalizing wrongdoing to protect their self-image and justify their actions. In Romans 3:3–8, he dismantles these arguments, revealing that no excuse can exempt anyone from guilt—and that our only hope for forgiveness and salvation is found through faith in Jesus Christ.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on November 9, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 5)Throughout Scripture, God’s people have united in faith to accomplish what He’s called them to do, trusting His direction and provision.

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 4)Faith produces courage—the strength to trust God and obey Him even when it’s costly, countercultural, or dangerous. True faith gives us confidence to stand firm, endure hardship, and act boldly because we believe God’s promises are greater than what we see.Scripture: Hebrews 11:23-31Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on October 26, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 3)Many people start strong but don’t finish well—but by God’s grace, what matters most is how we end, trusting Him even when obedience feels costly or unclear. Hebrews 11 shows that lasting faith leaves a legacy, as those who endure in belief and obedience pass down a story of God’s faithfulness to future generations.Scripture: Hebrews 11:17-22Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on October 19, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 2)Faith believes God’s promises and reveals itself through ongoing obedience—the “obedience of faith.” But at its core, faith’s desire is for something better; it longs for what God has promised more than the comforts of this world, trusting and obeying Him as it seeks a better country and a lasting home with Him.Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on October 12, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

The Book of PsalmsPsalm 10Psalm 10 reminds us that evil’s arrogance and God’s seeming silence are not signs of His absence but opportunities for His justice to be revealed. Though the wicked boast that God has forgotten, hidden, or will never see, the psalmist declares that the Lord does see, He will act, and He reigns forever. Our response is to cry Maranatha — to call on the Lord for justice, repent of our own sin, and live in hope of Christ’s sure and final victory.Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on September 21, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul shows that while the Jews had the great advantage of being entrusted with the words of God, they failed to use it, like having the key to the code but never turning it. The real privilege is not just possession but listening to and living by God’s Word, the greatest gift and responsibility given to His people.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on September 14, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul shows us in Romans 2:25–29 that when we place our confidence in rituals or religious traditions, we miss the heart of what God wants.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul warns that religious knowledge and practice mean nothing if our lives don’t align with what we claim to believe, since hypocrisy ultimately dishonors God.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul reminds us in Romans 2:11–16 that God’s judgment is perfectly impartial and fair—unlike human courts, it cannot be swayed by wealth, influence, or appearances, but is based on truth, knowledge, and obedience.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceIn Romans 2:6–10, Paul teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, yet final judgment will be based on works—not to earn salvation, but to prove it.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul warns that it’s far easier to see and condemn the sins of others than to recognize our own, and that doing so reveals a dangerous hypocrisy that presumes on God’s kindness instead of being led by it to repentance.
