At the heart of this message lies a profound truth that challenges us to our core: we are forgiven so that we might forgive. Drawing from the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, we're reminded that forgiveness isn't just a nice spiritual concept—it's the very foundation of the kingdom breaking into our world. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he emphasized one particular element above all others by immediately circling back to it: the connection between receiving God's forgiveness and extendin...

The God Who Changes Us: Embracing Obedience | Melissa Snow

We've all had those moments where God calls us to do something we really don't want to do. Maybe it's as simple as being kind to that annoying neighbor, or as weighty as forgiving someone who deeply hurt us. But here's the truth we explored this morning: God doesn't call us to obedience because He's controlling – He calls us to obedience because He's loving. Joseph's story reminds us that transformation isn't instant. He went from being an arrogant, entitled younger brother to the second-in-c...

The God Who Changes Us: Changed by Grace | Tom Rossi

This message invites us into a profound exploration of how God's unconditional love transforms us—not through our striving, but through His grace. Drawing from the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, we're reminded that Jesus didn't demand change before offering relationship; instead, He offered relationship that produced change. The tax collector didn't climb down from that tree because he had made himself worthy, but because Jesus saw something in him that others couldn't see. This is the heart ...

The God Who Changes Us: Repentance Is Our Only Option for Change | Jared Davis

In this powerful message, we explore the transformative power of repentance in our spiritual lives. The central theme revolves around God's kindness leading us to change, as highlighted in Romans 2. We're reminded that God's call for us to repent isn't cruel, but a display of His love and desire for our growth. The story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8) beautifully illustrates this balance of grace and truth. Jesus doesn't condemn her, but lovingly calls her to 'go and sin n...

In Jax as It Is in Heaven: Harvest Mentality | Jared Davis

In this powerful message, we're challenged to shift our perspective from a scarcity mentality to a harvest mentality. Drawing from Matthew 9:35-38, we're reminded that Jesus saw the crowds as 'harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.' But instead of despair, He saw a plentiful harvest. This teaches us to view our world, our neighborhoods, and even our challenges through the lens of opportunity rather than scarcity. We're called not just to pray for the harvest, but to be laborers...

Things Above: the Power of Forgiveness | Rose Shabaya

In a world that often feels divided and fractured, there's a powerful force that can bind us together and heal our deepest wounds: forgiveness. It's a concept we've all heard about, but one that can be incredibly challenging to put into practice. Yet, as we explore the depths of forgiveness, we discover it's not just a nice idea—it's the very foundation of healthy relationships and thriving communities.

Things Above: Clothed in Christ | Aaron Sjoberg

Aaron reminds us that true gentleness isn't weakness, but strength under control. And real humility isn't self-deprecation, but seeing yourself rightly in God's eyes. The key? Remembering who you are in Christ: • Chosen • Holy • Dearly loved It's only when we're rooted in God's love that we can truly clothe ourselves with Christ's character.

Things Above: Compassion and Kindness | Jared Davis

True compassion comes from the soul, not just the mind. It's not about being seen as compassionate or manipulating others. It's about worshiping God by seeing His image in every person we encounter. But here's the twist: Compassionate kindness doesn't mean avoiding hard truths. Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do is speak truth, even when it's difficult. Are we willing to both empathize deeply AND hold the line on truth, just as Jesus did? That's the challenge of Christ-like compassion...
