Join Profs. Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson for another insightful episode of Sermon Brainwave as they dive deep into the lectionary texts for the 14th Sunday after Pentecost (September 14, 2025). In this episode, the hosts explore the powerful contrast between grumbling and joy found in Luke 15:1-10, where Jesus tells the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin. They discuss how these stories reveal God's character as one who celebrates finding the lost, and examine why the Pharisees and scribes struggled with Jesus's radical inclusivity at the table. The conversation also covers Exodus 32:7-14, exploring the golden calf incident as a paradigmatic story of idolatry and God's faithfulness to the covenant despite human unfaithfulness. They touch on the challenging passage from Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28, examining themes of judgment and restoration. The hosts provide practical preaching insights on Psalm 51:1-10 as a confession text and discuss 1 Timothy 1:12-17, highlighting how Paul's story serves as a tableau of God's mercy and transformation.

Paul warns that some people will depart from the faith and begin teaching things that are contrary to Scripture. In order to be equipped and ready to fend off such falsehood, Timothy, as well as the church he shepherds, should train themselves in godliness. This comes from being nourished by the words of the faith and the good teaching of the church. Is training in physical fitness beneficial? Sure, but only in limited ways; spiritual fitness, on the other hand, is beneficial in every way and worthy of our efforts. Paul encourages Timothy to command and teach these things and set an example for others, even if they despise his youth. By persevering in the faith, Timothy will save both himself, and his hearers. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
In today's episode we'll being reading Paul's first letter Timothy, the young man who worked alongside Paul during some of his missionary journeys, serving as his protégé in pastoral ministry. The two are now separated and Timothy is in a season of life where he is shepherding a church. He advises his son in the faith to address those in the church who teach, or who believe, false doctrine, warning especially about those things that are opposed to the Gospel and are speculative, divisive, and fruitless. Paul finds his hope, comfort, and identity in this gospel which frees men from the chains of sin which entangle and condemn. Finally, today's reading ends with an admonition to fight the good fight of faith. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

2 Timothy 1:7 AMP“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].”So much has been said about the new normal: The way churches, businesses, and governments operate, and how we direct our personal lives. Though we certainly should learn from the fiasco of the last few years, we must not allow fear to become our “new normal.” If we allow it, fear can easily infiltrate our thinking and successfully rewire how we approach Scripture and faith in God. We must not allow anything to exalt itself over the Word of God. Cast down the imaginations, thoughts, activities, and speeches that have their purpose in manipulating, short-circuiting, redirecting, or diverting our focus from Jesus.

Blueprint | Building A Church For Impact | Pastor Michael Kennedy
Donna, Becki, Joe, and John talk about this week's Bible passage in preparation for the upcoming Sunday message.
You may feel too young, you may feel too old, or unqualified, or unsure. But if you are in Christ, you are not disqualified. You are not second-tier. You should not and do not have to wear a permanent label on your chest from something that is long ago in your past. You are called to be an example. Not for your glory—but for His. This isn't just a message for young pastors—it's a call for every believer to become the kind of Christian that turns heads. Not because we draw attention to ourselves—but because we shine the spotlight on Christ. Not because of ourselves, but because God can and will use anyone to do anything for Him – regardless whether men say we can't do what Christ calls us to do – we are to follow Christ – for He is the head of the Church and the Living Word of God. He is the final arbiter of what we can or cannot do for Him and His church.

In this sermon from Rev. Benjamin Kandt, part of NewCity Orlando's Preach Your Heart Out series, we are invited to reflect on the profound mercy and patience of God shown in the life of the Apostle Paul. Preaching from 1 Timothy 1:12–17, Rev. Kandt highlights Paul's personal testimony as a model of God's transforming grace. Once a persecutor of the church, Paul becomes a prime example of someone radically changed by the gospel—demonstrating that no one is beyond the reach of Christ's love.Rev. Kandt explores how this passage stirs us to humility and gratitude, reminding us that the Christian life is not grounded in merit but in mercy. Paul's response—worshiping God as King eternal—becomes a call for us to do the same: to live lives shaped by grace and to proclaim that same grace to a world in need of redemption. This message is both deeply personal and widely applicable, encouraging listeners to anchor their confidence in the unshakable faithfulness of God.
