Front Porch Church

06/02/2026

Hello Front Porch Church family and friends. The Bible tells a unified story: God has a mission. Front Porch Church (a community of people, on mission together, where Jesus is King) exists to continue God’s mission.

John 20:21
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

Our series for the past two months “Find your place in God’s Mission” has centered on the idea that the Bible is not a collection of disconnected writings. The Bible is one story. It is the story of God’s relationship with His creation. God is on a mission—to be known by all and have a personal relationship with His creation, and YOU have a place in His mission.

God stands ready to offer you a deeper meaning and a clearer purpose for your life. Are you AVAILABLE to receive that spiritual calling and step into God’s Mission. Join us this coming Sunday, June 7th at 4:30pm as we start a new series “The Psalms: A Complete Guide to Honest Prayer”. We will be gathering in the theater at the Yellow Box church (1635 Emerson Lane, Naperville). All are welcome, so invite a friend to join you.

Hello Front Porch Church family and friends. Today, we will hear from our dear friend Samantha as we continue our series “Find your place in God’s mission”. We will be gathering at the Yellow Box gym later today at 4:30pm. Look for the FPC sign out front and come on in. There are no distractions, only interactions. All are welcome.

Most of us want Jesus to make life easier—less stress, more peace, a little guidance when things get hard.
But what if Jesus came to do more than improve your life?
What if He came to completely reorder it?

Let's be honest - sometimes this is where we get self-protective. "Please fix the broken stuff, God, but maybe leave some of the other stuff alone!" We're in good company - the people who lived in Jesus' day were saying the same thing.

This Sunday, we’re exploring Jesus’ announcement that “the kingdom of God has come near” and why following Him is an invitation into an entirely new way of living.

This Memorial Day weekend, we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to others.

Praying you have a safe and meaningful weekend as we remember, reflect, and give thanks. 🇺🇸

To God be the glory, now and forever, now and forever AMEN

Good Tuesday morning Front Porch Church family and friends. As I got dressed this morning, I remembered Danielle’s message from Sunday. Thanks Danielle for teaching us about clothing ourselves with Christ.

Galatians 3:27
“for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.”

"Clothed yourselves with Christ." What does that mean?

Paul's language in Galatians is striking: When you were baptized into Christ, you clothed yourself with him. You put him on. He is now what others see when they look at you.

Because it's one thing to believe in Jesus. It's another thing to wear him. Belief can stay private. What you wear is always visible. Putting on “Christ” isn't passive. It's a daily, deliberate act of reaching for the right thing.

Like Danielle showed us and we all did it together, we pretended to put on our socks, our pants and shirts while saying these words….God, help me put on Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control today.

What are you reaching for when you get dressed in the morning?
Specifically ask God to clothe you in Christ today…..Yay - God!

Hello Front Porch Church family and friends. Today, Danielle Schaeffer will continue our journey through the story of God’s mission, and her take away question is:

What does it mean to clothe myself with Jesus?

We’ll explore what it means to be clothed in the character of Christ—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control. Whether your week has felt grounded or messy, hopeful or exhausting, we think this message will meet you right where you are.

We’d love to see you later today at 4:30pm Community Christian Church Yellow Box, Naperville. We will be gathering in the theater, so please part in the back or west side parking lot.

Hello Front Porch Church family and friends. Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there. Autumn Wouk will be teaching today at 4:30 and sharing “Mom” stories that are current and also found in the Bible. Were the problems moms had in the bible the same that moms have today? Did moms make the same sacrifices and how did God come alongside them.

Hello Front Porch Church family and friends. Well, our service last night at 4:30 was a big hit! So many came…..Yay - God! Thanks William for sharing Abram’s story found in Genesis 12: 1-3. God called Abram to move out in faith to a new land where God promised to build a great nation. And, out of this one new great nation, even more great nations followed. Abram was blessed to bless others. Is God stirring your heart and calling you to a place of greater service?

William blessed us with some real cool glasses. Now it’s your turn to bless others and share Jesus with them. The Bible tells a unified story: God has a mission. The story of Abraham and Sarah is OUR story—WE are blessed to be a blessing.

Thanks Moose & Me for providing some amazing birthday treats for everyone. Front Porch Church celebrates all birthdays the first Sunday every month.….another Yay - God!

Join us next Sunday at 4:30pm as we hear from a dear friend and bless mothers on “Mother’s Day”. All are welcome.
