Gifts, risk, and the return of the King
Jesus personally seeks and transforms the overlooked, offering immediate grace and acceptance that leads to genuine change and restored identity through His love.
Some of us walked in today feeling unseen, unheard, and maybe even unwanted. We’ve smiled for others, but inside there’s a quiet ache that keeps asking, “Does God notice me?” Picture dusty Jericho streets and a short man with a tall stack of regrets. A tree-climbing tax collector—pockets full, ...read more
Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Topics: Zacchaeus, Jesus
True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or performance, but from humble, honest confession and receiving His mercy through Jesus Christ.
Some of us walked in today with weary hearts and distracted minds. The week has been loud. Deadlines and dishes, headlines and heartaches—so many voices bidding for your attention. But in the quiet place where you talk to God, what matters most? How do you come to Him? With polished phrases and ...read more
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14
Topics: Prayer, Power
True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.
Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more
Topics: God's Mercy, Divine Compassion
Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.
I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more
Topics: God's Pursuit, Our Response
God’s unwavering love secures us in every circumstance; nothing can separate us from His acceptance and care through Jesus, no matter our struggles or failures.
If you came in today carrying a quiet ache, you’re in good company. Life has a way of piling up—bills and burdens, deadlines and diagnoses, misunderstandings and midnight worries. Sometimes the questions come quicker than answers: Who stands with me? Who speaks for me? Who will see me through? The ...read more
Scripture: Romans 8:31-39
Topics: Confidence, Security, God
What does it mean to worship as Christ’s people
I came across a comment by a missionary in Paraguay. Who wrote, “While …serving in Paraguay, a Maka Indian named Rafael came to sit on my porch. I was eating and went out to see what he wanted. He responded, "Ham, henek met." Again I asked what I could do for him, but the answer was the same. I ...read more

Confronting the religious mindset of Americans today. (2 of 3)
CONFRONTING THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE © Mark Beaird Text: Acts 17:22-23 Whether one is watching Oprah or cable television where all sorts of people have access to the air waves to share their brand of spirituality one can easily see that many gods are embraced. David Wells, in No Place ...read more

How does one enjoy the "presence" of the Lord
Came across a comment by a missionary in Paraguay. Who wrote, “While …serving in Paraguay, a Maka Indian named Rafael came to sit on my porch. I was eating and went out to see what he wanted.

Scripture: 1 Chronicles 13:6-14, 1 Chronicles 15:1-29
The grace of God is amazing and there is no God like Him!
Intro. The Grace of God has provided deliverance for all, through the grace of the greatest preacher that ever lived, God in the Flesh, Jesus. He intervened, when I was doomed, on my behalf! His grace still amazes Me. Yet, we ignore the one that has supplied the means to redeem us from our human ...read more
Scripture: Micah 7:7-19, Micah 7:1-20, Micah 7:1
Denomination: Baptist
This message challenges the church to renew the call from God, both as a church and as individual Christians.
Renew the Call Michael Wiley November 16, 2008 Matthew 5:13 NOTE: The back half of this message is taken almost exclusively, from John Hamby’s message, “Called to be the salt of the earth.” Introduction: We are on the backstretch of 2008. For me, November is about “Thanksgiving” and thinking ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 5:13
Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ
God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.
The Bible clearly teaches that God is a jealous God. That doesn’t sit well with us; the very notion of the jealousy of God sounds offensive. We think of jealousy as an entirely negative quality--a sin. Yet God declares that He is jealous. God restricts allegiance to Himself alone: ...read more
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-6

Who is Jesus? It's possible to have a high view of Him, but not high enough.
Candidates for public office take polls to gauge their image, how they're perceived by potential voters. Are they viewed as likable, honest, capable? Jesus asked His disciples to share their input as to His public image. What were people saying about Him? He then confronted them with a more ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 16:13-17
Paul defines and defends the Gospel message against all counterfeit gospels.
One of the early Church Fathers said that, when reading Paul’s letters, he could hear thunder! Galatians is a thunderous epistle, filled with passion and warning. Martin Luther declared it his favorite book of the Bible. The German Reformer said that the message of Galatians would ...read more
Scripture: Galatians 1:1-10
We utilize what God has issued us for the conflict. We need protection. Which breastplate are we trusting? Our own, or Christ's righteousness? Don't go to war without the Breastplate of Righteousness.
In today’s military, a critical element of force protection is body armor. The Army issues Kevlar flak vests to soldiers to protect their upper body. DuPont, the manufacturer, claims they’re lightweight, but I’d disagree. It doesn’t take long to feel weighed down. ...read more
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
The earliest controversy in the church was over a critical matter: What does it mean in practical terms to be a member of God’s family? Also, coming to Christ is an act of self-denial. We are “under new management.”
Introduction: One thing we can all agree on: People rarely agree! Even in the early church there was conflict; and while we’d prefer unity among believers, disputes happen. In an awkward moment Peter and Paul were at odds. Paul confronted the head of the church to his face…because ...read more
