In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” They include: John MacArthur's replacement has been named. WORLD and other news outlets are reporting that “Grace Community Church in California affirmed a new senior pastor, more than a year after the death of renowned theologian John MacArthur. World Compassion Terry Law Ministries has a new name. Another sports gambling tragedy. It's an epidemic that churches and ministries have largely ignored, as our own Makella Knowles reported here.

In this powerful service, we celebrate life change through baptism, worship together through the song "I've Witnessed It," and dive into the final chapter of Jonah. Through Jonah's story, we explore God's heart for people who are far from Him and the call for every believer to be a witness of Jesus in their daily lives. This service includes: - Worship and prayer - Baptisms celebrating new life in Christ - A message from the book of Jonah - A challenge to embrace evangelism and share God's love with others - Vision and updates on Northeast's new Grinstead Campus Tyler reminds us that while Jonah resisted God's call to reach Nineveh, Jesus calls His followers to go and make disciples. The message challenges us to move beyond comfort, care about those far from God, and take practical steps to share our faith with our families, friends, coworkers, and community. Key Scripture:
Christian voyager Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) led his third and last expedition to the St.-Lawrence river valley in 1541. A new headquarters was established a few miles upstream from the Amerindian village of Stadacona, near the present site of Quebec City. This time Cartier was to be followed by Jean Francois de la Rocque, sieur de Roberval, with a party of colonists. After a wait which lasted through the following winter and the Baptism of Chief Donnacona, Cartier set sail for home, only to meet Roberval’s party in three tall ships in the harbor of what is now St. John’s, Newfoundland. Diamonds of Canada, mined by Jacques Cartier's men at the mouth of Rivière du Cap-Rouge proved to be worthless quartz. Cartier’s "treasure" is remembered in the name of Québec’s Cape Diamond or Cap aux Diamants and also in the French proverb "Faux comme un diamant du Canada", "As false as Canadian diamonds."

This week Pastor Val shares a Sabbatical update as Pastor Michael returns and we celebrate week one of Baptisms! 2 Cor 5:16-20
The third elementary principle listed by the Hebrew writer is “the doctrine of baptisms” (Hebrews 6:2). The shadow of the Old Testament is filled with “various washings” (Hebrews 9:10) which point to the true washing in Jesus' blood accessed in baptism.
Join Pastor Hennie Bosman for our ONE Service message!
The many washings of the levitical ritual bore eloquent witness that humans are defiled by sin and stand in need of the cleansing that is only supplied by the blood and Spirit of Christ.
An investor in Germany is offering families 500 euros for every child they have baptized. The local diocese has acknowledged the donorʼs intentions but stressed that, from the Churchʼs point of view, there is no financial barrier to baptism in the first place. We talk more about this and other Church news with Matthew Bunson.
This week, both churches found themselves in Exodus... just from different angles. Tim was back in the pulpit at Lakeview, preaching in the church's Exodus series for the first time in a while. Meanwhile, Andrew also found himself in Exodus as part of Safety Harbor's Kingdom Come series, proving that sometimes the lectionary and sermon calendars accidentally become best friends.It was Baptism Sunday at Lakeview, one of the best kinds of Sundays, as the church celebrated new life in Christ and watched people publicly declare their faith.Over at Safety Harbor, a new chapter is beginning as the preschool prepares to move out. That leaves a lot of empty space and a lot of questions. How should the church use it? More classrooms? Ministry space? Offices? A pastor-sized coffee shop? We talk through the opportunities and challenges that come with suddenly having room to dream.We also spend some time discussing the practical side of communion. How often should churches celebrate it? What details matter? What traditions are worth preserving, and where is there room for flexibility?And with summer quickly winding down, we're looking ahead to another school year and another busy ministry season. Fall is almost here, and pastors everywhere know what that means. The calendar is about to fill up fast.It's another week of preaching, planning, baptizing, and trying to make the most of the spaces and seasons God has entrusted to us.

This week we hear a video message from Pastor Michael as we prepare for Baptisms the next few Sundays and then hear from Brenda Wehrly, our Community Life Director, on the upcoming things we have in store coming out of the summer for our Fall Reset. Acts 2:42-47
August 2, 2026 - Baptisms by Grace Church of Mentor
What does it truly mean to know God rather than simply know about Him? That question sits at the heart of everything we explored in this gathering, anchored in the opening verses of 2 Peter. Peter, writing what he likely knew would be his final letter before his execution, wastes no words. He opens by holding two names at once, his birth name and the name Jesus gave him, reminding us that our past and our transformed present are both part of who we are. He calls himself a servant before he calls himself an apostle, placing humility at the foundation of any authority or purpose we carry. And then he delivers something remarkable: the faith we have received is equal in worth and honor to that of the apostles themselves. Not earned, not achieved, but received, assigned to us by divine appointment. Grace and peace, Peter prays, be multiplied through the knowledge of God. Not a static, fixed portion, but a growing, deepening supply that increases as we move from knowing facts about Jesus to actually knowing Him personally. Two young people stood before us and told us the same story in different words: they were surrounded by the truth their whole lives, and yet the moment of real encounter came suddenly, unexpectedly, when their hearts were made ready to receive it. That is the God we serve, the one who meets us where we are and opens what only He can open.
This week, we take a break from Galatians for Kickoff Sunday! We are celebrating God's faithfulness as we launch our new Sanctuary with Baptisms and a shorter message about our calling as the Church!
Salvation is not the finish line in the Christian life—it's just the starting point.In Episode 14 of "Born Again, What Now?", Duane Sheriff explores the doctrine of baptisms, one of the six foundational principles of the Doctrine of Christ found in Hebrews 6. While many believers understand salvation and water baptism, few realize that the New Testament reveals three distinct baptisms that are vital to spiritual growth and maturity.The Holy Spirit baptizes believers into the body of Christ at salvation, water baptism serves as a public declaration of faith and obedience, and Jesus baptizes believers with the Holy Spirit for power and effective witness. This third baptism was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost and remains available to believers today.The baptism of the Holy Spirit includes a supernatural prayer language that edifies, strengthens, and enables believers to pray mysteries directly to God. If you've ever wondered, "I'm born again—what now?" this episode reveals how to move beyond a defeated Christian life and walk in the fullness of God's provision and power.
Meg speaks on our Baptism Sunday about the joy of a life transformed by Jesus and the resurrection community he forms us into.
What if you've only been taught one baptism… when the New Testament speaks of three? In this powerful message, Pastor Bailey Bryant opens Hebrews 6 and shows why the "doctrine of baptisms" was considered foundational to the early church—and why rediscovering it can transform your walk with Jesus today. You'll discover: • Why salvation itself is a baptism. • Who performs each of the three baptisms found in the New Testament. • Why water baptism is far more than a symbolic ceremony. • What Jesus meant by the "unforgivable sin." • Why the baptism in the Holy Spirit is essential for living a victorious, Spirit-empowered life. Pastor Bailey also shares his personal testimony of how Jesus set him free from a 15-year addiction to pornography through the power of the Holy Spirit—a freedom that has now lasted more than 14 years. Whether you're exploring faith, have never been baptized, or have followed Jesus for decades, this message will challenge assumptions, deepen your understanding of Scripture, and invite you into the joy God intends for every believer. The Christian life begins in Christ, is declared in water, and is empowered by the Holy Spirit. It's time to rediscover the Joy of the Baptisms.
Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? If so, are you acting like it? In this first message of our new series "The Helper", Pastor Joel Sims shows us from the scriptures the 3 baptisms. Baptism into Jesus, which is salvation; baptism into water, which is repentance, or leaving behind your sin and this world; and baptism in the Holy Spirit, giving you power to be a witness to Jesus.

What will we be like in eternity? Turns out we should anticipate a complete transformation, not simply of body, but of the soul! Saint Paul promises us that in our Baptisms, the sin in us is put to death and we are raised up to new life in Jesus Christ. Those promises are inspiring, but what does this look like for us who are still firmly planted with two feet on the ground? A reflection, then on Luther‘s interpretation of Roman six: Baptism means that we daily die to sin and daily are raised up to new life in Christ.

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches at Tampa Life Church from John 9, launching deeper into his “MUD” series and contrasting how Jesus and the disciples viewed a man blind from birth: others saw a problem and looked for blame, but Jesus saw potential and God's glory. He warns that diagnoses and labels can help explain pain but become dangerous when they define identity, limit imagination, and turn into a destination; he urges the church to seek deliverance as intensely as diagnosis. He cites Hebrews 11:6 on faith and references the nocebo effect to show how labels shape outcomes, calls people to renounce negative self-talk and self-blame, prays for healing and freedom, and points to Jesus' command after making mud—go wash—even when the touch feels incomplete and confusing.00:00 Welcome and Baptisms00:19 Series Recap MUD02:11 John 9 Setup03:29 Labels vs Deliverance08:04 Faith to Be Whole08:59 Testimonies and Response12:23 Prayer and Breakthrough15:42 Hebrews 11 Explained18:21 Nocebo and Identity21:02 Renounce the Labels25:18 Stop Self Blame Loops31:30 Go Wash and Obey
It's a week of transitions as both Lakeview and Safety Harbor are saying goodbye to staff members. We talk about the often-overlooked art of offboarding well, celebrating people for their service, blessing them on their way out, and remembering that healthy ministry includes healthy endings.Tim had one of those marathon ministry Sundays that remind you why pastors sleep on Mondays. Three services in the morning, a new members class in the evening, and just enough caffeine to make it all happen. Somehow, he survived.Meanwhile, Andrew took what felt like half of Safety Harbor Community Church to a ballgame. It turned out to be one of those rare church events that required almost no convincing, no complicated logistics, and left everyone asking when the next one would be.The conversation also turns to baptism. When should a baptism happen publicly in front of the congregation? Are there situations where a private baptism is appropriate? What are the pastoral considerations that go into making that decision?It's a conversation about transitions, long Sundays, easy ministry wins, and helping people take their next step of faith.
Surveys indicate Christianity in America is on the grow. The surveys also indicate the growth is occurring among Gen-Z. So then, where is this spiritual growth actually occurring? For sure, it is not happening among the old, staid denominations where the church, for the most part, continues to be traditional, ritual, predictable, and in the words of one, boring. Renewal and revival of Christianity in America is coming primarily from non-denominational churches and spirit-filled Pentecostal movements. Those growth churches are offering experiential expressions of faith, real Biblical experiences different from and better than the traditional American protestant denominations. At one time, non-denominational Christian churches consisted of approximately 5% of American protestants (1972). Today, those growing non-denominational churches comprise of roughly 30% of all such protestant churches. Why is such growth occurring, wondered the pundits and especially the non-believers. The answer is simple. Those churches function under the direction and influence of the Holy Spirit where the real, vital, saving, forgiving Gospel of Jesus Christ is believed and preached. Pentecostal churches are growing. The Assemblies of God, among the many spirit-filled churches reported growth in: 1. CHURCH SERVICE ATTENDANCE 2. NEW MEMBERSHIP 3. CONVERSIONS AND SAVING EXPERIENCES 4. BAPTISMS 5. THE BUILDING OF NEW CHURCHES So many people, including the young from Gen-Z, want the real Christianity or nothing at all. Spirit-filled Pentecostal movements offer Christian reality, even as so many churches in denominations turn woke, liberal, social, even political in emphasis and so often replace the Gospel with social agendas. The church should be where the real Gospel is preached, where real spirit-led worship occurs, and where the soul is satisfied and blessed. Holiness and Pentecostal churches reported at least 4% growth in all the above categories, and these non-denominational churches far outperformed the old-line denominational churches. These non-denominational churches are “functionally charismatic” even if they do not describe themselves as Pentecostal. They do not belong to Assemblies of God or THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST, or foursquare, but their worship styles and theology clearly emphasize expressive worship, spiritual gifts, and direct encounters with God. The real Gospel, the Holy-Spirit-led worship characterizes the beliefs and the worship services of these growing non-denominational Christian churches. In years past, surveys indicate the younger generations (Gen-Z and more) were indifferent and turned off by Christianity and Christian worship. This may have been the case, but then came the growth of these non-denominational, spirit-filled, spiritually-experiential Christian churches, and therefore membership and involvement dramatically increased. The surveys indicate this younger, non-denominational church-goer and worshipper was significantly more diverse than many of the membership in the historic and traditional protestant denomination. These surveys indicated only 60% of the new non-denominational church worshippers where white. Many of the new worshippers were Hispanic, African American, or even Asian. This new spirit-filled church was truly the right example of diversity in race and ethnicity, equity and equality among all men and women in worship, and the inclusion of all (DEI) in worship led by the Holy Spirit, belief in and the preaching of the real Gospel, and where the Bible ruled. People today are hungry for the real Gospel, the real worship experience, for real Bible teaching. The real Gospel would have us as believers rejoice, be glad, be happy, be exuberant in our faith. The real Gospel, as Jesus said, would have us live life abundantly, emotionally, lovingly. These spirit-filled non-denominational churches offer this spiritual reality and more. The growth in non-denominational churches was incredible. In 2010, there were some 35,000 such churches and congregations. Today, there are 44,000 non-denominational church congregations in America, with an estimated 21 million members and worshipers. 21 MILLION soul-satisfied congregants and adherents. PRAISE THE LORD! Churches exist for one reason only: to proclaim Biblical truth, the real Gospel, the salvation experience, the forgiveness and reconciliation to God the Father, and to worship, all of which allow for direct encounters with the very God and the Son, Jesus Christ. These churches offer this and everything real in Scripture, which is why they are growing, and the growth has only just begun. PRAISE THE LORD!
This service includes a number of baptisms, communion, membership and tithing. Pastor read a Scripture passage and explained each event. A morning of celebrataion!

After a trip to Georgia that included a surprise goose chase with a long-lost cousin, Jase gets an idea of why millions of Christians think faith is about being a rule follower. The guys wrestle with the difference between guilt and shame, why a rule-based mindset falls short, and how culture often avoids truth instead of dealing with it. They highlight a powerful moment from a live event that reminds us that real change is about relationship, not just behavior.

Easter was chilly, damp, overcast, but satisfying. Over the course of the weekend we got to see a few interesting developments though: First, The Boston Red Sox were trying to get fans hyped up for an April 3rd Opening Day at Fenway Park, and in doing so they tweeted out archival footage from Opening Day in Boston back in the 1950's....within an hour the comments were turned off because all people could comment on was how heavenly a life before the multicultural demolition kicked into high gear. Leftists decried how "white" everything was, and normal people lamented how orderly and serene everything seemed. Anyway, we'll read through some of the comments that were preserved and discuss what these innocuous glimpsed into the past actually DO reveal about the present. We also so a record increase in Baptisms on Easter, especially within the Catholic Church. Is it ever really too little too late for a renaissance?
