What if the greatest danger isn't being broken…but stopping at partial healing?In Luke 17, ten lepers cried out to Jesus for mercy. All ten were cleansed as they walked away… but only ONE came back. And Jesus tells that one man:“Your faith has made you well.”That statement changes everything.Because there is a difference between:being cleansed and being made whole,relief and transformation,surviving and truly becoming.In this powerful Wrestle Well message, Pastor Joe Moss II breaks down:why many people stop too early,the danger of becoming comfortable with partial healing,how pain can decrease while fragmentation still remains,and why Jesus wants more than behavior modification — He wants wholeness.This message will challenge you spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically to:keep walking,keep healing,keep surrendering,and keep becoming.You may have survived…but God is calling you to become WELL.Luke 17:11–19 breakdownCleansed vs Made Well explainedWhy many people settle after reliefThe danger of sitting down too earlyWhole-person healing: spirit, soul, and bodyWrestle Well principles for transformationHow faith continues walking beyond comfort“Some people stop at relief.

The Resurrection Is Jesus Passing The Baton For Our MissionScripture References:John 19:28-30John 20:1-10Key Points:1.  Jesus finished His mission and passed the baton to His disciples, but because they didn't see Him, they went home and lived like ordinary people.John 20:11-182.  Christ is alive so don't stay dead, repent of your sins and accept His forgiveness, then you will truly start living and enjoying better bread. John 20:19-23John 21:1-33.  Doing our own thing and not following the instructions of Jesus our King, will leave us with nothing.Mark 16:15Revelation 1:17-18Hebrews 12:1-64.  Obedience will bring us blessings, while those who refuse to listen will be disciplined, so accept His baton today and start running to win.1 Corinthians 9:24-272 Timothy 4:7-8

SummaryThis sermon explores Jesus's four post-resurrection appearances, focusing on themes of restoration, proclamation, and fixation. The pastor examines Jesus's appearances to Mary Magdalene, the disciples in Jerusalem, Thomas, and Peter by the Sea of Galilee. Each appearance demonstrates how Jesus restores broken relationships, proclaims truth, and gives people a mission to focus on. The message emphasizes that Jesus sees and values everyone, even those who feel unseen or unworthy, and calls believers to follow Him without comparing themselves to others.Key Verses1 Corinthians 15:17John 20:11-18John 20:19-23John 20:24-29John 21:9-19Romans 15:13Life ApplicationThis week, identify one area where you've been comparing yourself to others (whether on social media, in ministry, at work, or in relationships). Each time you catch yourself making comparisons, remind yourself of Jesus's words to Peter: 'What is that to you? Follow me.' Focus on your own calling and relationship with God rather than looking at what others are doing or receiving.

Neil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Authoritative Nature of Biblical FaithMatthew 8:23-271. Following is essential to discipleship, v. 23John 6:60-69“Zoe is the absolute fullness of life; life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted toGod, blessed, in the portion even in this world of those who put their trust in Christ, but after theresurrection to be consummated by new experiences, among them a more perfect body, and tolast for ever."2. Faith makes it possible to live out of sync with your circumstances, v. 24-25James 1:2-4Four things about storms...a)storms alter the way we relate to God, v. 25b)storms speed us up emotionally, v. 25c)storms expose the relationship of fear and faith, v. 26d)storms are the context of discipleship, v. 26Proverbs 4:73. Fear is an invitation to a transformed view of God, v. 27Mental worship...1. Is your life shaped more by consequences (negative) or experiences (positive)?2. Do you relate to God on the basis of what you need Him to do or as you know Him to be?3. Does your response to the storms in your life convict anyone?4. When going through a difficult time, do you experience God to be helpful?5. Can you see fear changing the way you see God? If so, how?

On Easter Sunday, Jason Elsmore invites us to behold the King - to truly look, see, and focus our attention on Jesus. In this message from John 20, we discover that Jesus is not just any king, but the Risen King, bringing living hope. He is a Kind King, restoring what is broken. He is a Peaceful King, offering peace with God and peace for our hearts. And he is a Victorious King, who has overcome sin and death forever. _____If you need prayer, we're here for you.

Guarding Your Heart Against Spiritual DriftAuthor: Dave JenkinsPodcast: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins (Servants of Grace)Episode Type: Biblical TeachingShow SummarySpiritual drift is real and it rarely happens overnight. More often, it begins quietly through neglect, distraction, and misplaced priorities. In this episode of Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins, we answer the question: How can Christians guard their hearts against spiritual drift?Drawing from Hebrews 2:1, Proverbs 4:23, and John 15:4–5, this episode helps believers recognize the subtle dangers of drifting and calls us to stay near to Christ through the ordinary means of grace—God's Word, prayer, fellowship, worship, and life in the local church.Audio PlayerVideo PlayerKey ScripturesHebrews 2:1Proverbs 4:23John 15:4–5Romans 12:2Psalm 73:28Episode Notes1) Spiritual drift happens when we neglect the ordinary means of grace.Drift doesn't start with rebellion—it starts with neglect. A neglected Bible leads to a neglected heart. God has given His people the means of grace—Scripture, prayer, fellowship, worship, the Lord's Day, the preaching of the Word, and the ordinances—not as optional add-ons, but as His appointed pathways to spiritual stability.2) Spiritual drift happens when we stop paying close attention to God's Word.Hebrews 2:1 warns us clearly: “We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.” Like a boat without an anchor, the heart that stops listening carefully to Scripture will quietly move away from the shore. We must receive the Word regularly, reverently, and obediently—not merely hearing it, but submitting to it.3) Spiritual drift happens when we let the world shape us more than the Word.Romans 12:2 calls believers not to be conformed to this world. Drift often begins when media shapes us more than Scripture, when approval of man matters more than pleasing Christ, and when sin is treated casually. You will be shaped by what you regularly absorb.4) Spiritual drift is prevented by abiding in Christ.In John 15, Jesus does not say, “Try harder.” He says, “Abide in Me.” Spiritual stability grows as we remain connected to the Vine—trusting Christ daily, treasuring Him above all, relying on His strength, and staying near to His Word.5) Guarding your heart requires daily watchfulness.Proverbs 4:23 commands: “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Watchfulness includes examining your heart regularly, confessing sin quickly, keeping short accounts with God, staying faithful in the local church, and maintaining a humble, teachable spirit.6) God's grace restores drifting hearts.If you realize you have drifted—grown cold, neglected prayer, worship, or the Word—here is the good news: God restores drifting hearts. You are not beyond His mercy. The same Jesus who warns us not to drift is the same Savior who restores, renews, and holds His people fast.Closing Scripture: “But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge.” (Psalm 73:28)Key TakeawaysSpiritual drift begins quietly through neglect, not usually through open rebellion.The ordinary means of grace are God's appointed pathways to spiritual stability.A heart anchored in God's Word is guarded from drifting.Abiding in Christ is the daily, sustaining answer to spiritual drift.God restores wandering hearts with grace, mercy, and kindness.Call to ActionIf this episode helped you, please subscribe and share it with others.

In today's devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster continues the series “Lamps With Oil and Lamps Without Oil” from Matthew 25 and brings us to a solemn but hopeful truth: when the Bridegroom comes, those who are ready will be secured forever.Using Scripture alone, this message explains that redemption is not based on tradition, church membership, or good living—but solely on the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Peter reminds us that we were not redeemed with silver or gold, but with the blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.Pastor draws attention to the moment in Matthew 25 when “they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.” That shut door speaks both of those who are shut out and those who are shut in—secure eternally with the Lord. Just as God shut Noah into the ark, God secures His redeemed people in Christ.This devotion also clearly explains:What it means to be redeemedWhy all believers are secure in ChristHow salvation is instant when one truly believesThe biblical steps to being ready: realization of sin, repentance, faith in Christ aloneThe message closes with a loving but direct invitation: only those who are ready will go in. The question every listener must answer is simple—but eternal.

Isaiah 9:6 reveals the wonder of Christ’s birth by naming who Jesus truly is—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. These titles invite deeper Christmas worship that goes beyond the manger and into everyday life, shaping how we trust, pray, and follow Jesus. Highlights Jesus is fully human and fully God, born as a child yet given as a Savior. Isaiah’s prophecy points to Christ’s identity, not just His arrival. Wonderful Counselor reminds us to seek Jesus for wisdom and direction. Mighty God assures us of Christ’s divine power at work in our weakness. Everlasting Father reflects God’s constant care, protection, and presence. Prince of Peace offers spiritual wholeness that steadies us in a stressed world. True Christmas worship continues year-round through trust, surrender, and awe. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: How to Worship Through the Wonder of Christ’s BirthBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6, NIV Imagine getting a gift so incredible, so mind-blowing, that you’re overwhelmed. Maybe you gasp, maybe you cry, or maybe you just sit there, speechless. The people who learned about Jesus Christ’s birth on the first Christmas must have felt overwhelmed like that after learning that God had given the world the ultimate gift of a Savior. Hundreds of years before the first Christmas, the prophet Isaiah described that gift – including awe-inspiring titles for Jesus that point to his future work in the world: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 invites you to worship through the wonder of Christ’s birth. The first part of the verse, “to us a child is born, to us a son is given,” focuses on the humanity of Jesus. He was a real baby, born to a real mother, experiencing real life. This part may be the easiest for you to connect with, because it’s personal and comforting. The titles that follow challenge you to move beyond seeing Jesus just as a baby in a manger, but as the powerful Son of God who saves and transforms you. Those titles show you how you can worship Christ in every single area of your life: Wonderful Counselor: When you need God’s guidance for your decisions, you can ask Jesus and get the help you need. He isn’t just a good adviser; he’s a wonderful one. Christ can give you wisdom that cuts through the confusion of life in this fallen world and shows you the best path forward by walking with you as your personal guide. So, worship him by bringing your hardest decisions and deepest confusion to him with the trust that he will help you move forward well. Mighty God: This title removes all doubt about Christ’s divinity. Jesus is much more than just a powerful messenger or a great teacher; he is God himself, who came to Earth to personally save humanity. Christ is mighty – he has unlimited power that he uses for good, loving purposes to redeem what has been broken by sin in the world. When you feel powerless or overwhelmed by a challenge, worship Jesus by relying on his mighty strength to help you overcome that challenge. Everlasting Father: This title speaks to how Christ protects you and provides for you, like a good father does. While Jesus is God’s Son, he is also fully God, because he has perfect unity with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus is part of the Heavenly Father who cares so well for you every day of your life. So, when you feel lonely or vulnerable, you can worship him by resting in his eternal, unchanging care. Prince of Peace: Peace is not just the absence of conflict; it’s a spiritual wholeness that puts everyone and everything in creation in harmony with the Creator – which is what Christ does. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, gives you ultimate peace with God through his sacrifice for your sins. In this fallen world that’s full of stress, you can worship Christ by accepting the peace he offers, which is strong enough to help you overcome any challenges you face. Jesus is so much more than just a baby born in Bethlehem. When you worship Christ as he’s described in Isaiah 9:6, you can’t help but be filled with overwhelming feelings of awe. Those feelings will inspire you to discover the wonder of God’s work in your life every day. True Christmas worship is something you can practice every day of the year, by seeking wisdom from the Counselor, finding strength in the Mighty God, resting in the Everlasting Father, and trusting the Prince of Peace to help you be calm and confident. Look at all Christ really is, and celebrate with wonder! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how to worship through the wonder of Christ’s birth, reflect on these questions: Which of Christ's titles (Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, or Prince of Peace) do you personally need to focus on most this week, and why? What major decisions are you facing right now, and how can you trust Jesus to be your Wonderful Counselor for how to move forward well? The “child is born” that Isaiah 9:6 mentions is also the “Mighty God” it mentions. How does that change the way you approach prayer? What worries can you hand over to the Everlasting Father, with trust that he will meet your needs in those situations? Who can you forgive this week to worship Christ as the Prince of Peace by forgiving others as he has forgiven you?

Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, yet many people enter this season exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling far from joyful and triumphant. In this message, Lead Pastor Aaron Pennington opens our Christmas series, Songs of Christmas, by taking us deeper into the meaning behind the classic hymn O Come All Ye Faithful.Rather than treating Christmas music as background noise, Pastor Aaron shows how this 250 year old hymn is actually a calling to reorient our hearts toward Jesus. Using Colossians 1, Matthew 11, Hebrews 4, and the overarching story of Scripture, he explains what it truly means to adore Christ and why adoration goes far beyond seasonal emotion. It is the highest biblical expression of worship, placing Christ as the supreme affection of our lives.Whether you walked into this season feeling faithful, joyful, or triumphant, or whether you feel weary, broken, disappointed, or unsure about faith, this message reminds you that the hymn is not describing your performance. It is describing the victory of Jesus that you step into by faith.Pastor Aaron also addresses the emotional weight many people carry in December and offers the comfort Jesus gives to the weary. Because Christ took on flesh and experienced suffering, betrayal, exhaustion, and pain, we can never say to God, “You do not understand.” He understands completely and invites us to come boldly to receive mercy and grace.This message will help you slow down, refocus your heart, and rediscover why Jesus is worthy of all devotion, affection, and adoration this Christmas. Learn why Christmas is not about having it all together but about the Savior who came to rescue us, redeem us, and offer eternal life to all who trust him.

In this episode we'll confront our addiction to activity and ask a hard question—Are we truly productive or just distracted? We'll explore how even good intentions can become spiritual roadblocks when we choose busyness over what Jesus calls “better.” From social media scrolling and constant multitasking to the pressures of family, work, and expectations, this episode will unpack how Jesus modeled stillness, prayer, and purposeful action—even in chaos. If you're feeling drained, always tired, or struggling to prioritize God in a full schedule, it might be time to check if you're worshiping the idol of bustling.Luke 10:38-42Mark 1:35Luke 6:12,13Matthew 11:28Matthew 14:23John 11:17-27You can now also WATCH C.L.!

In this episode, Broken and Mended Executive Director, David Heflin, shares four ways from Scripture that Jesus identifies with sinners to fulfill his promise to be with us. Even on the days we suffer the most, Jesus is with us. Sometimes our experience may confirm this, and sometimes that experience proves elusive. That's why we start with Jesus' promise (Matt. 28:20) and not our experience. Still, a greater experience of that promise is likely to follow when we commit ourselves to believing it.Scriptures Referenced in the podcast:Matt. 1:22-23Matt. 28:20John 1:1, 141 Pet. 3:18Rom. 6:23John 1:29Matt. 3:13-16Matt. 4:1-11Heb. 4:15Phil. 2:5-11John 14:23David also announces a virtual conference hosted by Broken and Mended on 10/18 with speakers: Dave Furman, Vaneetha Risner, Shannon Cramer, and Aren and Trina Bahadourian!

Sixth Sunday in EasterGod is revealed in three stages throughout human history. First, God the Father is revealed in the Old Testament as above His creation. Next, God the Son is revealed in the New Testament by becoming human. Finally, the Holy Spirit is revealed through the Church within the heart of man. Knowing how important this relationship is with the creator of the heavens and the earth, allow God's dwelling to impact your mind, heart, and soul today.Scripture Reading for May 24, 2025Acts 15:1-2, 22-29Psalm 67:2-3, 5-6, 8Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23John 14:23-29 

What if your season of waiting isn't a setback, but a setup for something greater?In this week's sermon Junior High Director, Sean Murphy, explores Psalm 40:1–3 and the truth that our waiting can draw us closer to God, deepen our trust, and become a powerful testimony to others. Pastor Sean shares personal stories, biblical insight, and even the words of an 8th-grade student to show that when we wait expectantly—not passively—God hears, God moves, and God transforms.

A Christian leader recently confessed to writing anonymous posts criticizing fellow ministers. The worst part was lying about it for over two years.Why did this happen when it doesn't seem to make sense?We need to examine ourselves for pride. Pride is the dangerous original sin that can make you do strange things to hold onto the things you hold dear for the wrong reasons. Pride leads to other sins and covering them up like lying and adultery that bring down ministers and reduce ministries to rubble. This episode isn't meant to be criticism. It's about examining our own hearts to stop pride in its tracks. We also need to ask ourselves what is the purpose of Christian ministry.Sources Cited:"Statement Regarding Josh Buice," Prays Mills Baptist Church, May 12, 2025."Statement Regarding Josh Buice," G3 Ministries, May 12, 2025."A Statement Regarding Josh Buice," Founders Ministries, May 12, 2025."Update Regarding Josh Buice," G3 Ministries, May 13, 2025.Scriptures Referenced:Proverbs 13:10; 11:2; 16:18Numbers 32:23John 3:301 Corinthians 3:5-7, 10-11, 211 Peter 5:2-3Philippians 1:15-18*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.

Send us a textThis week we take a detailed look at the garden of Gethsemane. What it was, what Jesus prayed and why it is such an important part of the Passion of Christ. Main Scripture:Matthew 26:36-44Additional Scripture:Luke 22:44John 10:18Hebrews 4:14-16Matthew 20:21-23John 17:1-5John 17:6-191 Corinthians 12:12-14Hebrews 3:12-15John 17:20-26

In Week 16 of our Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Aaron McRae leads us through one of the most compelling sections of Jesus' teaching — a warning about choices, character, and counterfeit spirituality. Drawing from Matthew 7:13–29, this message explores the narrow vs. wide gate, true vs. false prophets, and the ultimate test of a life built on Jesus.Jesus calls us to a higher standard — not just external behavior but inward transformation. We're challenged to examine the voices we follow, the fruit we bear, and the foundation we build our lives upon. This sermon unpacks how to discern truth in a world full of false promises and how to recognize those who distort God's Word for selfish gain.**Big Idea: We must choose whose voice we trust to speak for God — and live accordingly. Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life.**Topics Covered:The narrow and wide gates (Matthew 7:13–14)False prophets in sheep's clothingGood vs. bad fruit (Galatians 5)Activity without intimacy: “I never knew you”Building your life on the rock, not sandResources & Scripture References:Scripture:Matthew 7:13–29Matthew 16:24, John 14:6Galatians 5:19–23John 10:10, John 15:1–5Deuteronomy 30:15–20, Joshua 24:151 John 4:2, 1 Corinthians 12:3, 2 Peter 2:1–3Authors & Quotes:John Mark Comer, Live No Lies – “We make our decisions, and then our decisions make us…”Jonathan T.

In this episode we discuss the benefits of being prepared. Preparation reduces anxiety, builds confidence, and helps us accomplish our goals. It is easier to prepare and prevent, than it is to repair and repent. If we plan for the worst and hope for the best we are less likely to experience failures. We prepare because we believe!  Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.How to prepare…1. Understand your current situation.2. Determine where you want to be.3. Create a plan.4. Execute.5.

God is good. And this season always has me reflecting on that for an even deeper reason - because I gave my life to Christ, after hearing the Christmas story, 10 years ago. In this episode I share my testimony and the power of the Christmas story. A simple Christmas cookie decorating event, hosted at my college sorority, brought me from a self-centered life to a Christ-centered life. On a mission to succeed and impress the world, yet wrought with anxiety, I bawled my eyes out after hearing about the hope that Jesus offers us. I knew I needed Him.Join me for my own story and lots of reflection on the scriptures that share the story of the birth of baby Jesus. Whether you have been walking with the Lord for many years, or are seeking answers to hard life questions, I pray that this conversation full of scripture is encouraging! 0:00 Introduction4:02 Prayer4:45 My testimony - where it all began in childhood6:53 Living for myself in my college years 9:30 Called to coaching before even knowing God11:53 Fearful of failing as an adult13:38 The Christmas story brought me to Christ14:40 People had been planting seeds for years17:17 The Christmas story23:25 The best decision you can ever makeScriptures referenced in this episode:Romans 8:28Luke 1:26-38Luke 2:4-12Romans 3:23John 14:6Links to other episodes mentioned:I Changed My Mind: YogaKnow that you can always reach out with prayer requests or listener questions by emailing me at movedbyhimpodcast@gmail.com (or message me on Instagram at @movedbyhim_)!Did you know that leaving a 5-star rating takes only a couple seconds?
