# Family Worship Center > Experience Freedom In Christ ## Posts - [Protected by Contentment](https://fwcenter.net/protected-by-contentment/): Luke 3:14 NKJV Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, “And what shall we do?” So he said to them, “Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.” We live in an unfortunate reality where context is often ignored. This verse is often quoted as, “Be content with your wages,” but the context is much deeper than simply, “Be happy with your paycheck.” John the Baptist is preaching repentance, and he is asked several times, “What shall we do?” John instructs the general audience to be generous and give away an extra coat, the tax collectors not […] - [Walk In The Spirit](https://fwcenter.net/walk-in-the-spirit/): Galatians 5:24-25 “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” When the Lord found us and saved us, it was such a wonderful moment. Many of us can recall the powerful emotion of that moment. In that moment, we realized that all we needed was the Lord and that we would never walk through life alone again. We understood salvation as a free gift; it was given out of God’s grace, not in response to anything we did or could ever do. […] - [Let Us Love](https://fwcenter.net/let-us-love/): 1 John 4:7 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” Love is the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37–40). According to Paul, every spiritual gift must operate from a foundation of love (1 Corinthians 13). Jesus presents love as the greatest evidence of discipleship (John 13:34–35). And we understand that God’s love is the motivation behind the gospel message. It was because of God’s supernatural, perfect love that He gave Himself to be sacrificed on our behalf (John 3:16). The Word of God reveals that love is the […] - [Beyond Hearing](https://fwcenter.net/beyond-hearing/): James 1:22 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” Woken by the alarm, we sit up on the edge of the bed. After a few moments, we make our way to the bathroom, look in the mirror, and are astonished by what we see. With our hair sticking up in every direction, sleep crust in our eyes, and bad breath, we begin to clean ourselves up in preparation for the day ahead. Once we are all put together, we take a look in the mirror, smile, and think to ourselves, “That’s who I remember. That’s what […] - [Thinking Like A Christian](https://fwcenter.net/thinking-like-a-christian/): Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” Our thoughts have a direct influence on our behavior. They can drive us forward or hold us back depending on their nature and the Devil is keenly aware of this. He will do anything in his power to deceive, discourage, and distract God’s people, aiming to drive up negative emotions such as anger or anxiety. However, it […] - [Trust Him Endlessly](https://fwcenter.net/trust-him-endlessly/): Mark 13:11 “But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.” We have all done it. A job interview is coming up and we rehearse potential conversation directions. There is no way to consider every “what if” scenario that might present itself during that interview. Yet, we will still spend hours preparing ourselves. It is the nature of humanity to worry about the future. What will I say in this […] - [Perpetually Thankful](https://fwcenter.net/perpetually-thankful/): 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.“ Throughout our lifetime, we face many trials. There are moments when we think to ourselves, could anything else go wrong? Sometimes it may feel like the whole world is against us, but we must remember the affirming words of Jesus in John 16:33. “In the world you will have trouble; but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.” Although it is almost always easier said than done, we are instructed alongside the church in Thessalonica to give thanks in everything. In […] - [Devoted in Prayer](https://fwcenter.net/forever-rejoicing-2/): 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “pray without ceasing,” D. L. Moody is quoted as saying “A man who prays much in private will make short prayers in public.” When we pray without ceasing, we have access to the authority of Heaven that does not cease. As we walk in this authority, we recognize that there is not a need for excessively repetitive prayers that Jesus discouraged us from. Instead, we simply pray inline with the Word as God takes care of the rest. The Bible declares that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever and that what He has done for one, […] - [Forever Rejoicing](https://fwcenter.net/forever-rejoicing/): 1 Thessalonians 5:16 “Rejoice always” All Christians should desire to have the will of God manifest in every aspect of their lives. Scripture teaches that part of our walk with Christ is subjecting ourselves to the will of God as we trust in Him and His plan. And in 1 Thessalonians, Chapter 5, we are taught three specific characteristics of a Christian walking in the will of God, the first being to rejoice always.  This means to rejoice in all circumstances, whether good or bad. It can be so easy to become sidetracked by our relentless emotions. However, regardless of what […] ## Pages - [Youth Rally](https://fwcenter.net/events/youth-rally/): Shenandoah Valley Youth Rally Speaker: Pastor CJ ColeSunday, October 25th6:00 PMFamily Worship Center – 940 Chicago Ave, Harrisonburg, VA We are excited to host this fall’s Shenandoah Valley Youth Rally!

Isaiah 56:7 states, “My house shall be called a house of prayer.” We are committed to living out that truth together. Our weekly Prayer Meeting is a time to seek God’s presence and worship Him. We pray for our families, our community, and our nation. We also gather to grow deeper in our relationship with Him. Whether you have been walking with Christ for years or are simply longing to draw closer to Him, you are invited […] - [Location](https://fwcenter.net/location/): Location Location Info Sundays at 10 AM and 6 PMWednesdays at 7 PM 940 Chicago Ave, Harrisonburg, VA 22802 - [Salvation](https://fwcenter.net/salvation/): Salvation The greatest decision you could ever make is to follow Jesus Christ.
