In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, the transfiguration is the authoritative answer to the question, “Who is this man? Who is this that commands the wind and waves and they obey Him? Who is this that even forgives sins?” These are the kinds of questions asked in the first three Gospels and are answered at the transfiguration. After the transfiguration, the hinge of the first three Gospels is swung and Jesus begins His move towards Jerusalem to eventually face betrayal, false trials, and His death as a criminal on a Roman cross. It is the climax of the first portion of the Gospels. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/the-transfiguration http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20080420thetransfigurationfairchild.mp3 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:27:34 CDT David Fairchild Jesus – Portraits, Parables, and Parties transfiguration,cross,climax,gospel,jesus 67:44 Today, we are going to look at parts of Genesis chapter 11 and 12.

What we're aiming for in this series is a face-to-face encounter with the most important figure in human history. We want to move beyond mere intellectual assent to truths about Jesus into a personal encounter with Jesus.

The purpose of this series is fairly self-explanatory. We want to encounter Jesus as we come to see Him through various portraits as we listen in on His conversations. We want to hear from Him as we let His parables penetrate our hearts with questions and claims that move us to think about Him in new ways.

During this season, we have no problem singing sons about Jesus and even claiming He's our Savior, He's our peace.

We make romance, money, health, work, and other gifts into an ultimate passion which displaces, or at least diminishes our affection for the Giver. So we seek Him in what feels like vain cries to deaf ears, not because we want Him, rather we want what He can give us. God has become our sugar-daddy and we try to hustle Him and use Him as currency to purchase our idols. We know only He can give it to us, so we beg Him like junkies trying to get a fix so that we can scurry off into a dark corner, away from His sight, to worship the real treasure of our hearts. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/spiritual-blindness http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20071125spiritualblindnessfairchild.mp3 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 09:10:23 CST David Fairchild Acts mysticism,magic,unbelief,spiritual_blindness,bar-jesus,paulus,elymas,paul,saul,barnabas,acts 70:21 Everything that we discuss today is highly controversial and, for some, this may be extremely offensive.

There is a temptation to read this and think, "I will work to change myself to become these things." But as we understand the Gospel, that we are saved by grace alone, we must we must also come to believe that it is the same Gospel of grace that teaches us to say no to sin. For example, if we struggle with lust, trying to fight the sin is already a losing battle. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/common-struggles-of-men Sun, 11 Nov 2007 18:54:15 CST David Fairchild Topical pride,seduction,lust,sexual_sin,common_struggles_men We’re told in this story in John 13:12-17: “When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, ‘Do you understand what I have done to you?

Christian men have a tool belt full of the right kind of tools to do the job, but have no idea how to use them.

This is what Christ taught us in Luke 24 on the Road to Emmaus. Jesus is showing them the point of the entire OT history, the point of His coming into this world. He's showing them the centerpiece of the Bible. It's the Gospel! This means we can no longer read the Bible in the same way. Since history is about His suffering and glory it means every page is about the Gospel. This also clarifies our primary activity in this world, to spread the glory of the Gospel in the face of Christ to the world as His witness bearers who are empowered by the Spirit. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/our-desperate-need-for-glory http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20071014ourdesperateneedforgloryfairchild.mp3 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 00:20:40 CDT David Fairchild Acts suffering,witness,christ,gospel 77:28 Up to this point we have seen the incredible advancement and expansion of the Gospel as it breaks new ground in new ways.

The continued advancement of the Gospel at this time was unheard of. The culture was fragmented and separated by numerous factors working to split up and segregate various groups.

They are designed to build and strengthen a community. God created sexuality to build community and not just to personally satisfy you. Sex is more than just for pleasure (as a man might assume) and more than just for fulfillment (which a woman might assume).

How Jesus uses “the surprise of grace” to overwhelm our hearts in his love, and further to actually help us become better lovers and counselors of one another in the church. God loves to use our brokenness and weakness to shine his grace into each other’s lives. ...to continue in the same vein and hopefully get more specific as to how we are called to counsel one another in the family of Christ. For Scripture calls us to teach and admonish and encourage each other with the Gospel. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/the-surprise-of-grace-in-counseling http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070729thesurpriseofgraceincounselingtrout.mp3 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 23:45:27 CDT Stephen Trout Topical counseling,kaleo_counseling_center,gospel,gospel-centered 40:39 We’re going to look at God’s purpose for wealth and giving (and why we always fall short) and how only if you get the Gospel can you be set free for generosity that heals the world and glorifies God. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/transformissional-generosity http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070722transformissionalgenerositykim.mp3 Sun, 22 Jul 2007 12:32:37 CDT Eugene Kim Topical money,offering,tithe,giving 76:55 Last week we looked at the result of God-ordained persecution.

It is intriguing to us because it shows us how the Church came to be and the events that took place during these early days. But it also holds up a mirror to us to see if the Church today resembles the Church of this day. If the same Gospel is being preached, the same Holy Spirit is dwelling in the Church, why don’t we see the explosive growth which was the hallmark of these first years? http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/transformissional-priests http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070617transformissionalpriestsfairchild.mp3 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 14:57:51 CDT David Fairchild Acts When you visit Christian bookstores long enough, evangelism starts looking like fad diets. There’s the South Beach Diet, Atkins diet, the all-soup diet, the all-juice diet. Similarly, fads in evangelism ask the same three questions. Usually a pastor gets noticed for fantastic church growth, and other pastors begin to ask, “What did they do to get so big?” Then they start to ask, “Why does our church need it?” Then they ask, “How can I get it to work at my church? What books should I buy, what program or conferences should I join?” http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/gospel-incarnation http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070610gospelincarnationkim.mp3 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 08:02:22 CDT Eugene Kim Topical 66:34 We speak in stories. Stories are the way people share what they really think and express who they are. It is through these stories that we interact and communicate. They are the currency to exchange ideas and as such are more important than 'facts'. It is through stories that we interact and beliefs are challenged. God reveals Himself primarily in story and Jesus often teaches through story. Christians need to understand the importance of this, including a greater understanding of their own story. We are going to examine three aspects of story that every Christian ought to know: http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/telling-gospel-stories http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070603tellinggospelstoriesgoodmanson.mp3 Sun, 03 Jun 2007 09:45:51 CDT Topical 70:43 We’ve been looking at the book of Acts for the last several weeks and have seen several amazing acts of the Holy Spirit. The last couple of chapters are really one story about the first open persecution of the Church from a hostile world. The new Church is facing opposition for the first time in these chapters. They have now been jailed and threatened with loss of possessions as well as their freedom. The response from the apostles is mind blowing. Instead of cowering at the threats and subsequent punishment from the high priest, they respond again by simply saying, “We must obey God rather than men.” This is a display of incredible heroism on their part. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/hero-worship http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070527heroworshipfairchild.mp3 Sun, 27 May 2007 12:49:04 CDT David Fairchild Acts 66:46 We’ve been looking at the book of Acts for the last several weeks and have seen several amazing acts of the Holy Spirit.

So much so, in the book of Acts, after the Church heard Peter preaching the Gospel in power, those that had land sold what they had and distributed to those who had need. They saw that Christ’s generosity towards them meant that they had all they needed and could release what they held on to so that others were cared for. The word and witness must never be separated in our lives. The power of the Gospel being preached motivated their generosity and validated its reality.

Peter, as we’ve been saying, was the spokesman for the Church and through his preaching, empowered by the Spirit, the Church grew through a couple of messages from 120 to 8,000. Plus, this does not include all of those that were being daily brought into the Church from the incredible witness of the community of God’s people in missional action. How many Christians do you think there were just before Constantine came on the scene, say, AD 310? The answer is mind-boggling. How did they go from being a small movement to the most significant religious force in the Roman Empire in two centuries?

Rodney Stark, a historian and sociologist, wrote a book called The Rise of Christianity which does a great job describing early Christianity and why Christianity was so dynamic and powerful—that without a military strength, political power, economic prosperity, or academic influence it swept through the most powerful empire in the world at a time when those resources were necessary to not only flourish, but to just survive. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/the-present-future-power-of-the-resurrection http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070408thepresent-futurepoweroftheresurrectionfairchild.mp3 Sun, 08 Apr 2007 00:32:09 CDT David Fairchild Topical 70:08 I’ve chosen the word “transformissionary” because it best describes you and me as those transformed who see this transformation as the fuel and call to live out our transformation primarily in the context of a missional life.

What did they do, what were they about, what was their focus? http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/signs-of-transformissionary-life-part-i http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070318signsoftransformissionarylife-partifairchild.mp3 Sun, 18 Mar 2007 00:23:02 CDT David Fairchild Acts 58:54 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/what-does-this-mean http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070311whatdoesthismeanfairchild.mp3 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 00:48:01 CDT David Fairchild Acts 71:29 As we’ve been looking at the great book of the Acts, I’ve been mentioning a couple of things repeatedly so that we don’t forget the significance of what the great Dr. Luke is telling us through this historical account. I’ve said that this is a book showing us that Jesus’ ministry did not stop when He left the Apostles to rise and sit at the right hand of God. This is significant because if we don’t see that Jesus’ desire as the Head of the Church is to continue what He began, we will miss out on what our primary function is as the Church, and therefore miss out on what Christ as King has called His people to. Christ came into this world to save sinners (1 Tim. 1:15). He came into this world to seek and the save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). He came into this world to save His people from their sin (Matt. 1:21). He was sent by the Father on mission to the world. As He ascended to sit upon His throne after His resurrection, He and the Father then sent us the Helper, the promised Holy Spirit, to come and live in us and send us on mission to this world (Luke 24:49). This activity should be understood as the primary activity of the Church. Our worship of God fuels our mission because in worship we seek to hear from our God and discern what it is that He desires for the rest of our days. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/what-does-this-mean-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070311whatdoesthismeanfairchildsdsu.mp3 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 02:18:46 CDT David Fairchild SDSU 80:17 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/power-for-transformission-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070304powerfortransformissionfairchildsdsu.mp3 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 00:55:01 CST David Fairchild SDSU 66:00 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/power-for-transformission http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070304powerfortransformissionfairchild.mp3 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 01:10:20 CST David Fairchild Acts 65:19 In order to see the vision of Luke 24 and of Acts 1:6-8, we need four things, authority, power, confidence and leadership. These can be controversial words in our day and age; find out how Jesus gives a backbone (and is everything) to the missional vision of the church. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/preparing-the-transformissional-church-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070225preparingthetransformissionalchurchfairchildsdsu.mp3 Sun, 25 Feb 2007 20:46:28 CST David Fairchild SDSU 65:27 In order to see the vision of Luke 24 and of Acts 1:6-8, we need four things, authority, power, confidence and leadership.

We spent a good part of last year in Galatians and discussing what the Gospel is. In Acts, we’ll be looking primarily at what the Gospel does when a people are captivated by it. The passage that we just read and the book we’ll be in through 2007 was written by Dr. Luke, the author of the Gospel of Luke who was a traveling companion of the Apostle Paul, a doctor, historian, and educated teacher of the early church. Luke and Acts are so close, some have suggested that we keep them side by side and call them Luke-Acts to show their continuity. The gospels give us four different looks at the person and work of Jesus Christ, but we only have one description of the early Church, and it is this great book. This incredible book is not just a history of the Church; however, it is a powerful snapshot of various ways in which the Church broke through racial, economic, religious, and social barriers so that people groups, families, towns and cities were radically changed by the Gospel. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/early-transformissionaries http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070218earlytransformissionariesfairchild.mp3 Sun, 18 Feb 2007 19:17:39 CDT David Fairchild Acts 66:04 We’ve finally come to this great book of Acts which we’ve be looking forward to for some time.

Is it okay to drink? Not okay? Three views are Prohibition, Abstention, and Moderation. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/jesus-christ-king-of-the-brews http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20060211jesuschrist-kingofthebrewsfairchild.mp3 Sun, 11 Feb 2007 23:35:26 CST David Fairchild Topical 98:39 The purpose of the Christian Church is not to function as a chaplaincy for those who are barely hanging on to their faith. It is not intended to act as a safe-house where we gather to clean off the filth from the world around us. The Christian community is not to be seen primarily as a support group where we receive inspiration and affirmation for living our individual lives. Though the community may provide all these personal blessings and more, the Christian community is intended to reflect a new way of being human to this world. We are to be an alternate city within San Diego, where we are demonstrating what a truly human society looks like. We are more than a support group for individuals, rather we as individuals are to gather together into a community and put on display what a society looks like when it is transformed by the Gospel. Simply, we are a counter-culture. Since we are an alternate city, we are to show this city what it looks like when justice, mercy, compassion, truth, love, grace, and holiness reign. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/gospel-centered-sex-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070204gospel-centeredsexfairchild.mp3 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 14:33:03 CDT David Fairchild SDSU 71:02 I wanted to take some time between Galatians and Acts to look at the book of Jeremiah. The reason this book is so important is that it has many parallels to our current situation, if not physically it certainly feels like it spiritually. In this section we are reading, the great city of Babylon and its leaders have invaded and defeated Jerusalem and have taken men, women and children off to Babylon as exiles. When the Jews got to Babylon they found a large city that was filled with other exiles from various people groups who all held radically different beliefs about morality, religion, the world and even the purpose of the city. How do you respond to a fragmented, hostile city? http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/kaleo-and-our-city http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070204kaleoandourcityfairchild.mp3 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 20:50:21 CST David Fairchild Topical 66:39 As has been the case for the last several weeks, we will undoubtedly irritate some of you as we present a case that is almost never, or at best rarely, discussed from behind the pulpit for a variety of fears, of which the pastor is unwilling to place his neck on the chopping block. Because this topic is so misunderstood or ignored, what I say to you today may seem totally and completely foreign. I very well may look like the evil three-headed monster after this message and the lies you have swallowed hook, line, and sinker may appear to be more correct or at very least most natural. I know that the only way this information will make sense to you is if the Spirit of God, who leads us into all truth, teaches you these things as He confirms for you the truths of what we are about to discuss. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/biblical-courtship-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070128biblicalcourtshipfairchildsdsu.mp3 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 00:13:37 CST David Fairchild SDSU 97:27 To be honest, I was tempted to teach on the subject as a “how to handle” sort of message, but I realized that even that is pretty arrogant. There are no three steps to handling suffering so that life cruises along. To say, “this is how you handle suffering,” is almost laughable if you’ve suffered deep at any point of your life. I guess the best I can do is to attempt to show you from God’s word what suffering does, in some ways why God allows us and even ordains our suffering, and how we can endure suffering under the shadow of the cross. Maybe the goal should be “how to survive suffering and grow from it.” I can say this with confidence: if we truly plan on changing a city and not just build a nice comfortable church, we’re going to endure substantial, deep and troubling suffering. It’s a cold thing to attempt to minister the cross when we don’t identify with the suffering of Christ. To truly appreciate the depth of despair and brokenness that our city is filled with requires that we not sit in an ivory tower and look down upon the broken, but that we enter their place of pain and come alongside them in compassion and mercy. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/forged-in-the-furnace-of-affliction http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070128forgedinthefurnaceofafflictionfairchild.mp3 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 00:51:00 CST David Fairchild Topical 68:48 This book tells us that Christianity is different from any other religion in the world. All other religions basically say, “Do the right thing, or you’ll get it!” Gospel Christianity tells us something entirely different, it says, “No, no, the essence of Christianity is not do, but done!” The essence of all other religions is, “Do or you’ll be judged,” and the essence of Christianity is, “One was already judged for you and it is done. Now rest in that!” The entire letter to the Galatians has expounded on this distinction, but now we come to verse 7 and it seems as if Paul has suffered from a lapse in memory and has forgotten all that he has previously written. Or, it just might be that we read the text with our own interpretation and this is what gets us so confused when something sounds out of key. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/killing-the-karma-gospel http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070121killingthekarmagospelfairchild.mp3 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 02:40:12 CST David Fairchild Galatians 63:02 This week we are going to discuss what a husband is and does according to the Scriptures. For the single ladies, this study should help you to better define what you want out of a husband. For the single men, this should help you better understand what God calls you to as a husband. This may also help you understand why you have not been able to attract a godly woman. If you’re catching bottom fish, change your bait. I hear young men talk about their desire for a Proverbs 31 woman, when they don’t match the qualifications of Proverbs 31 men. Let me just ask you on the outset men, would a godly, Proverbs 31 woman have an interest in you? For the married men, you may have already realized that your dream of creating your own private Eden was a little more difficult than you thought. You’re not naked, eating fruit and making love to your wife all day long as you hoped for. Your wife is dressed, your food is at the drive through, and you now are timing your lovemaking with the Olympics every four years. We hope to change some of that today. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/biblical-husbands-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070121biblicalhusbandsfairchild.mp3 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 00:54:05 CST David Fairchild SDSU 91:41 As we come a close in this great letter to the churches in Galatia, Paul is setting out to conclude his thoughts on the Gospel as clearly as possible. Each week its seems as if we are picking up on one of the most important passages in all of Scripture, at least for me it seems that way. It’s been easy to make such statements in Galatians because it is so packed with important Gospel truths that can absolutely transform us from the inside out. Here we are again, and again I’ll say that I think this is not only an extremely significant passage in Galatians, but a significant passage in the whole of Scripture. This is not mere hyperbole because it is a central and significant truth—perhaps the most central and significant—which has the power to change us on the spot and keep changing us as we unpack it the rest of our days. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/a-cross-centered-life http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070114across-centeredlifefairchild.mp3 Sun, 14 Jan 2007 01:55:39 CST David Fairchild Galatians 65:43 Some of you ladies may discount what I am about to teach today because you are single and don’t understand how this applies to you. Let me just say that you may be single because you have not applied what we are about to teach today. It may be a cause and effect. I mentioned last study for you ladies that if you are catching nothing but sharks, you need to change your bait. That may be the case for some of you. There is not much that is humorous in today’s message. I find no humor or take no joy in looking at wives that are loud, moody, gossipers that have a tendency towards being wayward and defiant. My desire is to show you the mirror, which is God’s Word and standard, and allow that mirror to reflect who you are in truth according to the Scriptures. I ask that you do not use this message as a way of looking at another and focusing on their sin. This message is about you and the Scriptures, not your friend’s sin and your observation of her sin. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/biblical-wives-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20070114biblicalwivesfairchild.mp3 Sun, 14 Jan 2007 15:42:27 CST David Fairchild SDSU 79:52 How does the gospel form our understanding of relationships?

This is why we go on diets. This is why we say what we say in boast of self or put-down of self. This is why we pursue the relationships that we do, and this is often why we play the religious role with others. This letter is our way out because it is the Gospel, which is set forth the answer to our social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual problems. Paul’s attempt in this letter is to get the Christians in Galatia to align their lives and world-view with the Gospel, and so this has been our goal for the last six months as well. http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/gospel-self-image http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061231gospelself-imagefairchild.mp3 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 17:25:56 CST David Fairchild Galatians 52:14 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/the-meaning-of-christmas http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061224themeaningofchristmasfairchild.mp3 Sun, 24 Dec 2006 02:56:17 CST David Fairchild Topical 56:07 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/waging-war-within http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061217wagingwarwithinfairchild.mp3 Sun, 17 Dec 2006 01:33:56 CST David Fairchild Galatians 69:59 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/how-to-preach-the-gospel-to-yourself http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061210howtopreachthegospeltoyourselffairchild.mp3 Sun, 10 Dec 2006 19:25:28 CST David Fairchild Topical 71:03 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/biblical-masculinity-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061210biblicalmasculinityfairchild.mp3 Sun, 10 Dec 2006 19:37:19 CST David Fairchild SDSU 83:19 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/biblical-femininity-sdsu http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061203biblicalfemininityfairchild.mp3 Sun, 03 Dec 2006 18:54:52 CST SDSU 84:16 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/galatians-51-12-part-2 http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061203galatians51-12part2fairchild.mp3 Sun, 03 Dec 2006 21:37:52 CST David Fairchild Galatians 66:03 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/change-through-freedom-freedom-through-the-gospel http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061126galatians51-12fairchild.mp3 Sun, 26 Nov 2006 00:25:25 CST David Fairchild Galatians 60:55 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/loving-our-city http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/20061126lovingourcityfairchild.mp3 Sun, 26 Nov 2006 00:32:00 CST David Fairchild SDSU 66:56 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/how-do-we-know-about-jesus http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/2006_11_19_how_do_we_know_about_jesus_fairchild.mp3 Sun, 19 Nov 2006 17:51:20 CST David Fairchild SDSU 62:01 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/galatians-421-31 Sun, 19 Nov 2006 17:43:55 CST David Fairchild Galatians http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/why-cant-i-do-this-alone http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/2006_11_12_why_cant_i_do_this_alone_fairchild.mp3 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 00:10:33 CST David Fairchild SDSU 63:23 http://www.kaleochurch.com/sermon/gospel-friendships http://www.kaleochurch.com/media/2006_11_12_gospel_friendships_fairchild.mp3 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 23:38:37 CST David Fairchild Galatians 66:08 If asked why Jesus came to earth, many Christians primarily think of salvation, in terms of individual forgiveness and change.
