Description

Family Church is located in Astoria, NYC, and our vision is simple: To build a community of faith in Astoria that is wholeheartedly committed to loving God and loving all people. Historically our church has been a place that Portuguese-speaking people have called their church family. However, today, through our English Ministry and a fresh vision to be a church that reflects the diversity of its community, we are a place for all to grow in the faith. We are glad to be able to offer this podcast so you can keep up with the sermons delivered by our pastoral care team.

Divide & Conquer

Divide & Conquer

2020-10-2551:06

Pr Lucas shares that in our desert experience, God not only wants to shape our character but also wants to sharpen our skills. In the areas where you lead and in areas where you are led there are opportunities to Divide & Conquer. In Exodus 18:13-27, Moses is faced with criticism about his leadership from his father in law Jethro. Instead of being defensive, he listens and applies the feedback. As a result, he is better for it and so are the people. What can we learn from this scripture?
The Prolonged War

The Prolonged War

2020-10-1853:59

The human soul from birth is thrown directly into battle. From the moment you are born until the moment of your death, there is war. We are three persons in one, spirit, soul, and flesh. So, then it is natural for us to fight on three fronts, spirit, soul, and flesh. We rebuke devils, we are torn between everlasting eternities, and fight the desires of our heart that try to consume our bodies. After fighting for so long, we lose focus on the real battles in our life’s journey and end up fighting pointless proxy wars that bring no victory to the kingdom of heaven. We easily forget that we worship the God of Victory! Deuteronomy 20:4 – “For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.” The God of Victory has a name, and his name is Jesus Christ! So why then if we serve the God of victory can we taste defeat so many times in our passage on Earth? This is because true victory is not seen in the natural but is experienced in the supernatural. We have only one expectation, to stop delaying the defeat of our enemies within ourselves, this is known as the prolonged war.

The Phoenix Company

The Phoenix Company

The greatest killer of your destiny isn’t fear, its doubt. This is because the potential and talents you are born with, can easily carve out the paths before you; but if you doubt what is within yourself, you can suffocate your future before it even comes to pass. The skill of focus is something we have to train and workout like any other muscle of our body. It must be tested and stretched to gain a better focus for upcoming endeavors but the purpose must be given from an outside source. Our purpose must be from a higher standard to not stagger or limit us once we reach our goals. Since man is made in his Gods image we need the new to inspire us (2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory…” ) Glory to glory is the transforming “new” that Jesus pours into our life bringing us peace for today and hope for tomorrow. Jesus Christ is our perfect model of who we should strive to be and it is him that gives us purpose. Jesus came as one of us and he came with a purpose, but there is a big misconception that his purpose has finished. His purpose now lives in us and together we are known as, The Phoenix Company.
Mr. & Mrs. Olympia

Mr. & Mrs. Olympia

2020-02-2349:32

There exists a world in which we reap only what we sow. We sow 12 years of schooling to reap a High School Degree. We sow 4 to 6 years in college to reap a Bachelors's or Masters. We sow our time in exchange for information and skills that will benefit and generate income for us and our families. We sow training in any area of our lives to one day reap the reward we desire. We spend a lifetime of training our mind and our physical bodies but forget to often train our 3rd person, our spirit. Life presents us with many challenges that automatically train our physical and our mind, but we must be intentional in training our spirit. 1 Corinthians 9:25 says, “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” If we were to combine our experiences in life to be trained alongside our spirit, we would be, Mr. & Mrs. Olympia.
Join us as we discuss the importance of discovering your potential with a word from Eric Maciel on Matthew 25. In this sermon, we take a closer look at the parable of the talents and how God has equipped each and everyone of us with precious gifts and talents we need to steward well. 
This is the second sermon of our Service That Inspires sermon series. God expects that you Desire your Gifts, Discover your Gifts, and Develop them! 
Diogo kicks off the sermon series titled “Service that Inspires” by reminding us that (1) we are known by God, (2) we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and (3) we are formed with a purpose. If we don’t have a firm sense of who we are, we will never be able to inspire others to become who they are.This is the 1st message in our sermon series “Service that Inspires.”
Christmas is a special season that reminds us of many truths of faith. Listen to this sermon with an open heart and mind and allow God to speak to you! 
Join us as we reflect on the importance of gratitude with a word from Eric Maciel on Luke 17. In this sermon, we explore the power of gratitude in the chaos, in the process, and in the blessing. Our desire is that God would fill your hearts with gratitude for all that he has already done and for all that he will continue to do. 
Repent!

Repent!

2019-11-1038:50

Are you like the sinful woman, or like Simon the pharisee? The call to follow Jesus requires a transformation of our mind, which is what repentance is. Diogo preaches on Luke 7:36-50 to remind us that Jesus always responds to a repentant heart, and that the depth of our repentance will determine the depth of our commitment to Him.
The Call to Follow

The Call to Follow

Elisha was just a young man plowing the field when Elijah called him to leave everything behind and follow him. Join us as we take a look at the call of Elisha in 1 Kings 19 with Eric Maciel and see how the call of God to follow him comes in the working and demands the surrender of everything that we have.
Cain and Abel is an iconic and tragic biblical story that can be very confusing to modern readers.

In this sermon we dig deeper into the ambiguity that we often struggle with when reading scripture while also learning valuable lessons from Genesis 4 about community.

In this sermon, Pastor Lucas highlights the relationship between Jesus and his disciples as an example of the kind of depth in relationships we should seek to develop. We are indeed better when we are together!
