What We Teach
The best way to know about the teaching at Fulkerson Park is to take advantage of the hundreds of free sermon downloads available on this website. Most messages last about forty minutes and focus on the text of Scripture, which we believe is God’s word to us. We often study through complete books of the Bible, but each individual message is meant to stand alone and be understandable without the background of the entire series.
In each message, our pastors seek to explain the passage in its original and historical context and interpret the text in light of its canonical context and its relationship to the good news of Jesus Christ, crucified and risen. Though studying Scripture can be intellectually demanding, we try to avoid overly technical jargon and speak in the vernacular, with a liberal use of illustrative material from history, literature, and life in today’s world.
Finally, we aim to show Scripture’s relevance to our lives, but without prescribing techniques and self-help styled application. Messages usually end with prayer and are followed by a few minutes of responsive worship. We would love to speak and pray with you as you respond to God’s word, but we do not use high pressure public invitations.
