Get ready for a direct, no-holds-barred challenge! In this powerful sermon, Coach Shelby delivers a vital message: Real Coaching = Christian Accountability. Drawing a compelling parallel between the demanding world of sports and the call to authentic faith, this video challenges the comfortable notions of modern Christianity, urging believers to embrace the tough love and discipline necessary for true spiritual growth."Why do we not care as much about Christians' growth as we do our athletes'?" Just as a dedicated coach pushes players to their full potential, even when it's uncomfortable, Coach Shelby explains that true Christian love involves holding ourselves and one another to God's uncompromising standards. Discover why genuine faith isn't passive, but requires active participation, consistent effort, and a willingness to confront unbiblical attitudes. Remember, "Idol" time is the devil's playground.In this impactful message, you'll discover:The "Idol Time" Trap: Unpack the dangerous implications of having time filled with nothing, and how it becomes the devil's playground, leading to idolatry, despair, and spiritual vulnerability.The Accountability Crisis: Learn why a lack of accountability in modern Christianity contradicts biblical principles and hinders true spiritual fruit.Coaching for Eternity: Understand why the same high standards and consequences applied in sports for temporal success are even more critical for eternal outcomes in faith.The Apostle Paul's Example: See how Paul boldly called out even respected leaders like Peter for hypocrisy, demonstrating that true love isn't afraid to confront error."Love Mental" Accountability: Grasp the concept of holding brothers and sisters accountable out of genuine, Christ-like love, desiring their obedience and growth.The "Breastfed Babies" Challenge: Be challenged to move beyond spiritual immaturity ("spoon-feeding") to actively engaging with God's Word and demonstrating mature faith.The Parable of the Two Sons: Explore this parable as a vivid illustration of obedience, conviction, and the difference between profession and action in faith.Testing Your Faith's Value: Learn why examining the authenticity and "value" of our faith and that of others isn't judgmental, but a necessary act of care.No Man Left Behind: Embrace the biblical mandate to actively fight for your brothers and sisters in Christ, tearing down strongholds and preventing spiritual error through love and truth.Don't settle for comfortable Christianity! Be prepared to be challenged, convicted, and empowered to live a life of Real Faith, Real Coaching, and True Christian Accountability.#RealCoaching #ChristianAccountability #CoachShelby #ChristianLiving #RealFaith #BiblicalTruth #Accountability #Discipleship #Sermon #SpiritualGrowth #ToughLove #BiblicalPrinciples #Christianity #WalkInFaith #CoachForChrist
The pre-tribulation rapture doctrine is a widely accepted belief, but what does the Bible truly say about Christ's return? In this deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and other key scriptures, Coach Shaw challenges the popular notion of a secret, pre-tribulational rapture, arguing that it's a relatively new teaching with dangerous implications for believers.Drawing on Greek word definitions and contextual biblical interpretation, this video meticulously debunks common misinterpretations, revealing a powerful and visible return of Christ as a conquering King, not a quiet snatching away. Learn why understanding the timing of the rapture is crucial for preparing yourself and your family for the days ahead.In this eye-opening message, you'll discover:The true meaning of "Keleusma" (Commanding Shout): Uncover why this Greek word, used to describe Christ's return, signifies a military command and not a secret departure.The "Perusia" of the King: Understand the ancient meaning of "coming" and "arrival" as a visible, royal procession, not a hidden event.Why God's People "Remain": Explore the significance of being "alive and remain" through tribulation, preparing to meet Christ.The Last Trumpet's Significance: Learn how biblical references to the "last trumpet" clearly point to the end of the age, not a prior rapture.The Purpose of the Righteous' Ascent: Understand that the gathering of believers into the air is to escort Christ to His conquered earth, not to escape.The Problem with a "Sneak Away" Jesus: Contemplate the character implications of a pre-tribulational rapture for Jesus's relationship with His Bride.Preparing for the Future: Recognize the vital importance of being prepared to face tribulation, rather than expecting to avoid it.Don't be unprepared!

Can you truly love God while being deeply entangled with the things of this world? This week, Coach Shelby delivers a raw and urgent message, questioning the existence of "liberal Christianity." From the distractions of social media and entertainment to the idols we unknowingly serve, are we truly living a life that reflects our claimed faith?Join us as Coach Shelby examines what it means to guard your heart, separate from worldly influences, and wholeheartedly pursue a relationship with God. This is a call to examine your priorities, confront the idols in your life, and choose whether you truly serve the Kingdom or the fleeting pleasures of the world.
Did you have that pure, unshakeable trust in God as a child? Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." This isn't just a sentimental notion; it's a foundational truth for our faith journey. Psalm 71 speaks to a lifelong walk with God, from the dependence of youth to proclaiming His power in old age. But have we, as adults, truly embraced the humility and trust of a child that Jesus calls us to? Or have the complexities of life obscured this essential way of relating to God? In this message we explore what it means to have a heart "Just Like A Child," to help us rediscover the beauty and strength found in humble dependence on God throughout every stage of life. #childlikefaith #Matthew18 #Psalm71 #TrustInGod #FaithJourney
Ever feel that tug-of-war between the comforting idea of escape and the gritty realities Jesus described? He spoke of a time like Noah's and Lot's – sudden judgment amidst the ordinary. In this message, we're not chasing comfortable illusions. We're digging into Luke 17:26-37 and other eye-opening passages to confront a pivotal question: Is the "rapture" a secret flight before the storm, or is the Bible pointing to a different kind of gathering? Let's wrestle with these powerful scriptures and seek truth, not just comfort. #EndTimes #RaptureTruth #BibleProphecy #faithjourney
We often crave peace, don't we? Smooth relationships, comfortable coexistence. As followers of Jesus, love and unity are certainly ideals we strive for. But have you ever wrestled with the fact that Jesus himself declared, in Matthew 10:34, "Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword"? That's a jarring statement. A sword? What kind of peace is this?And what about in Ezekiel 33, where a watchman is appointed. His job isn't to keep everyone feeling good or to avoid ruffling feathers. No, his duty is to sound the alarm when danger approaches, even if that alarm shatters the current silence, even if it causes fear and disruption. His silence, in the face of threat, carries a heavy consequence.In this video, we're going to unpack this tension between our desire for harmony and the often-uncomfortable necessity of truth. Are you prioritizing a superficial peace over the vital, sometimes disruptive, truth of God? Are you being a faithful watchman, even when the message isn't popular?

Man was created within time. It is impossible to hold faith in God until you realize He is not confined by time nor exists in time as we know it. Time is for us to choose Him for eternity. Psalm 90
