YOU PICK • So much in life is about the choices that God has given you to make. And while there is much that is out of your control, one choice will always remain, will you trust God? In this message from Matthew 6, in the sermon on the mount, Jesus gives to us the antidote to anxiousness.

Worry Doesn't Work • That's what you have to know in order to figure out the true answers to questions like "What is the meaning of life," or "Is it My Body and My Choice?" Jesus asks the question in Matthew 6, Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? And if you're not a Christian, it's not! But if you're part of God's family, your life and your body is SO MUCH MORE!

Daddy Issues have plagued a generation and are a leading cause in #anxiety.  Whether you have a great dad, or you come from a broken or toxic home,  this message from Matthew 6 will offer so much #anxietyrelief as you come to understand how your heavenly Father thinks about you.  For the believer, anxiety is rooted in a low understanding of one's value to God.  But God is always going to take care of you - because that's what dads are supposed to do!

CHANGE MY MIND • That's the honest and silent prayer of so many Christians struggling with doubts, fears, anxiety and depression. In this journey through Matthew 6, Pastor Jon Groves helps us discover the cure to wrong patters of thinking in the very words of Jesus from the sermon on the mount. Grab your Bible, because wrong patterns of thinking are about to melt away, not because the world around us is changing, but because the heart inside us is being transformed by this incredible truth. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jonlgroves/support

Glory To The Father • The purpose of our shining is not that men should look upon us, but that they should see our Father in heaven! What do they think of Him when they see us? Doubtless, as a city set on a hill, we cannot be hidden. When we are seen, what message are we sharing? Join Pastor Jon Groves in Matthew 5 for the conclusion of the Salt and Light series.

7 Deadly Sins • These exist as the dark contrast to God's light. Sin destroys. Sin darkens. Sin decays. And Jesus said, "you are the light of the world." So how do I know if I'm "lit?" Join Pastor Jon Groves as we journey through Matthew 5 and discover 3 attributes of light.

You're Salt • That's what Jesus said in Matthew 5, but what in the world does that even mean? Do I have to do something to be salty? Should I ask God to make me salt? In the message of Jesus, salt is the identity of the believer not an aspirational project. Be careful though, salt can lose its flavor! 1) To Support This Content or Receive FREE Exclusive Material, visit: https://faithful.place/users/jonlgroves 2) Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jon-groves-podcast/id1446486851 3) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5BI30YPZ44dh2vf2wT2UPI?si=9d6fb1a0f0584c8f Social Media: https://www.Facebook.com/JonLGroves https://www.instagram.com/JonLGroves https://www.tiktok.com/@jonlgroves --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jonlgroves/support

Peacemaking & Persecution are equally marks of true Christianity.

Pure In Heart • Not "Blessed are the virgins." Matthew 5:8 means something much greater and far deeper. Take it from Matthew who left everything on the table to follow Jesus. He SAW GOD! And in his gospel, he will detail how you can sed God, too! Today, we live in an age of sexual dysphoria, "christian purity culture" and checklist religion that has damaged the definition of "pure."

No Godly Men • As the prophet looks around, there is a death of godly people on the earth. It's a famine. Even the seemingly most righteous are like briars one must watch out for.

God keeps His promises. While that should be abundantly positive, it is a sorrow to some. Nothing in this passage will be new or shocking, even though Israelites will respond as if they've never heard it before. The consequences rise to meet the level of the trespass. 1. What are you all about? 2. Are you happy or sad about God's promises made and promises kept? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jonlgroves/support

You have to be sad in order to be happy? God's economy often doesn't match the ideals of this world. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." in Matthew 5. What does it mean to mourn? In this passage we'll discover something deeper than simple pain. This MOURN is the heaviest of all sad words in Scripture and it must certainly be part of the life of the happy believer. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jonlgroves/support

What does God want? We are beckoned not to ask as if we have not already been told over and again. 3 things Yahweh requires: Do justice, Love mercy, walk humbly with God. Are you coming to God with questions like a spoiled brat? Does it seem like you can never "do enough?" Good news, these are not new questions and the answers stand firm. 1. What do you think about God? 2. Are you ritual or relationship? 3.

Loyalty to God VS Loyalty to the preacher can often appear, at surface level to be synonymous. In Micah 3, the prophet demonstrates what sets a true minister from God apart from a false teacher of the people. Israel though rituals would save them, but God lists His indictment against the leaders and teachers of the day. Journal Questions: 1. Do you only embrace those who embrace you? (Or those you hope will embrace you?) 2. Litmus Test For True Preachers: A. Foundation B. For C. Fruit 3.

Numbers 6's "The Lord make His face to shine upon you" contrasted with Micah 3 where God hides his face from the cry of the people is so stark that we must ask, "when or why would God ever hide his face?" Also in Micah 3, we'll see the difference between shepherds and butchers when it comes to leading sheep. Journal Questions: 1. What is your function and how does your faith impact that? 2. What/Who are you sacrificing FOR? 3. What are you asking God FOR? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jonlgroves/support

Gospel preaching is not all bad news, nor is it all good news. False teaching happens when one only presents half of the truth.

God hates sin, but he especially hates premeditated oppression through greed and covetousness. In Micah's day, there was economic prosperity and peace on a macro scale, but people's hearts were far from God as they openly practiced sin in the daylight. Where you find distressed people, you will always find oppressive leadership, and God has something to say about those whose relationship is not right with Him. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jonlgroves/support

While physically, Paul is sitting in a prison cell, his mind wanders to the courtroom in which he is soon to appear. He will stand trial for the stand he’s taken for Christ, knowing that as the city of Rome burns to the ground, and the tyrannical emperor Nero does his best to snuff out the gospel light of Christianity, Paul will suffer the consequence of this political season, and his time on earth with come to an end. What does it truly mean to be poured out? And what compels us to keep moving forward in this race in spite of the persecution? Join us for the final sermon in our series of 2 Timothy as Pastor Jon concludes his ministry at One Church.

Do stories and lists in the Bible really contradict? What is God trying to teach us through the tension of Paul's advice both to love and to fight? Today, in chapter 3 of 2nd Timothy, join Pastor Jon as we dive into some principles on how to Keep Moving Forward in faith and with friends as we fight the fake that always fizzles. The movement didn't start with us. So, let's not let it end with us.

The presence of an earthly father instills in a child a sense of confidence. And while the statistics say that fatherless youth are destined for failure, Scripture says otherwise. Whether you have an imperfect dad, an absent dad, or daddy issues - the Father in your heart can override any damage done by the father in your home. He gives to us more than confidence...he instills within us GODFIDENCE.

Why would a young Timothy follow in the footsteps of an old, imprisoned, suffering apostle? What could propel a gospel minister forward even amidst great tribulation?

While there are so many amazing qualifiers for what it takes to be a superhero or we call them, “mom.” We recognize that moms are not invincible. Moms are not without discouragement. And though we run to them when our hearts or hands are hurting, moms are not without anxieties, themselves. So no matter if you are a mom, or you had a mom, God has some very special answers and encouragement for you in His Word. Join Pastor Jon Groves in 1 Samuel chapter 1 as we prepare to dive into several verses and the story of arguably the greatest mom in the entirety of Scripture. Her story is not without intrigue, drama, and great blessing... While you may not remember every moment you've ever experienced, your moments matter. Great moms always win when their moments are for Him.
