Give Us Today Our Daily Bread (Matthew 6:9-11) The Big Idea: Jesus teaches that God isn't just interested in world-changing events; He desires an intimate relationship close enough to walk with you through ordinary, everyday moments. 1. What Is Jesus Telling Us to Pray For? Every Single Daily Need We Have "Daily bread" represents everything necessary for life—physical, emotional, financial, relational, and practical needs. “When we pray for bread we are praying at the same time for ‘everything necessary for the preservation of this life, like food, a healthy body, good weather, house, home...'” — Frederick Dale Bruner (quoting Martin Luther) The Small Things Matter to God We often assume God is too busy for trivial things (traffic, lost keys, stressful meetings). But Jesus transfigured everyday life by inviting us to pray for the small stuff. God welcomes our thousands of trivial matters because He cares about us. 2. What Is Jesus Not Telling Us to Pray For? Our Greeds Rather Than Our Needs Jesus teaches us to pray for bread, not cake. He promises to meet our needs, not fund our greed, comparison, or poor stewardship. “The prayer is for our needs, not our greeds.” — D.A. Carson “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” — James 4:2-3 God's ultimate goal is not merely to make us comfortable, but to make us holy. 3. Six Lessons About Prayer Prayer obtains things for yourself: Asking God for help isn't selfish; it is obedience. Asking is necessary: Not because God is unaware, but because asking develops faith, expresses dependence, and invites God into our lives (James 4:2). God is committed to giving: Jesus doesn't say "if it's not too much trouble." He says, "Give us." We approach a loving Father with audacious confidence, not a reluctant stranger. Pray vaguely or specifically: God doesn't require perfect wording, but specific prayers help us notice specific answers and see His faithfulness. Pray for yourself and others: "Give us" reminds us to carry the community's needs before God. Trust God in unanswered prayer: If God withholds something, we trust His wisdom. As Psalm 23:1 says, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." 4. Practical Ways to Pray for Daily Bread Pray the words Jesus gave us: Say "Give us today our daily bread" to place your entire day in His hands. Set today's worries before God: Turn daily anxieties (bills, deadlines, appointments) into daily prayers. Set today's calendar before God: Invite God into every meeting, conversation, and task before rushing in. Be the provision for others: Ask, "God, who needs daily bread from me today?" God often answers someone else's prayer through your ordinary kindness. Discipleship Group Questions What "small" concerns do you hesitate to pray about, and why? How does viewing God as a loving Father change how you approach daily needs? Where does the distinction between "need" and "greed" become difficult in everyday life? Which of the six lessons about prayer challenged or encouraged you the most? Who in your life needs "daily bread" right now, and how can you help provide it this week?

She came to the well hiding from everyone—she left running toward everyone. What happens when Jesus meets someone drowning in regret and shame and offers her a second chance instead of a second judgment.THE BIG IDEA: Jesus doesn't condemn you, but he reveals your shame to redeem you.

Big Idea: Jesus is calling you to trust and follow Him, and when you do, He promises to remove your burdens and guilt and provide rest for your soul. 

Big Idea: Jesus shapes His followers by sending them to participate in His mission.Overview: Jesus gives the twelve disciples authority over demons and diseases and sends them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God. For the first time, the disciples step into the ministry they have been watching Jesus perform. Yet Jesus intentionally sends them out with minimal provisions, forcing them to depend on God rather than their own resources. In doing so, He begins shaping them into people who trust God's provision and participate in His mission. Disciples are not merely spectators to the work of Jesus; we are sent to be participants in it.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | April 5, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Colossians 2:13-14, Philippians 3:8-21, John 20:19, 1 Corinthians 15:20, John 3:16-18 Reflection Questions:1. What is your observation of the “cancel culture” that we live in today? How would you describe “cancel culture”? What are some examples you have seen of people today being cancelled? Would you say that cancelling people is fair or unfair? Explain your answer. How might it feel to be cancelled by the world around you? 2. Big Idea: Jesus did not come to cancel people, but to cancel sin.Read Colossians 2:13-14, John 3:16-18How does it feel to know that Jesus has cancelled your sin but will never cancel you? How can we know that Jesus will never cancel us? How does this change how we might respond to our failures in this life? 3. When you reflect on the resurrection of Jesus what gives you hope and encourages your heart? 4. Read Philippians 3:10-11How have you experienced the power of the resurrection in your life? (ie. How has your life changed? How have you experienced a growing relationship with Jesus? How have you seen the power of Jesus at work in your life?) 5. Paul says that part of knowing Jesus is participating in the same kind of suffering that He experienced. What kind of suffering did Jesus experience in his life? Why can this be a comforting thought when we are experiencing pain and suffering and loss in our life? Why is it important to understand that that suffering is a normal part of knowing and walking with Jesus? 6. Read 1 Corinthians 15:20Jesus' physical resurrection is called the first fruits of our resurrection. What does this verse mean? Reflect on the reality that you will be given a physical body for all of eternity that will not age, decay, get sick, experience pain or loss, suffering, or death…What thoughts does this bring to mind? How does that hit you emotionally? What questions does it raise for you? What hope does this give us? Why? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Two Questions: 1) When we are desperate, what does faith in Jesus look like? 2) When our faith is desperate, how does Jesus respond? 1. Jesus Welcomes Our Desperate Petitions – v.21-242.

In the movie It's A Wonderful Life, George Bailey has given up on his dreams and is ready to end his life untilan angel named Clarence shows up and tries to give hope to George by showing him all the lives that he hastouched along the way, and shows George how different his community would be if George had not been born.What if Jesus had never been born? How different would our world, our culture, and our history be if Jesus hadnever existed? Let's look at Jesus' impact on human history.THE BIG IDEA: Jesus didn't just come to change history. He came to change your history.

Week 3: Joy – The Astonished Messenger The holidays are supposed to be about joy, but for many of us, they just become a stressful chase for happiness—the perfect gift, the perfect party, the perfect moment. We spend so much energy pursuing that "peak experience," only to find that happiness is fragile and often leads to disappointment or exhaustion (think of the chaos of a traffic jam on Mount Everest! ). But what if the greatest joy isn't something you chase? Big Idea: Jesus offers joy in the midst of pain. In Week 3 of Lights, Camera, CHRISTmas, we look at the Shepherds, the unlikeliest recipients of the greatest news ever announced. They were terrified when the sky opened up, proving that the announcement of great joy often happens in the middle of chaos and fear, not after it's gone. Join us as we explore the Shepherds' story and learn how to claim the indestructible joy that Jesus provides—a joy rooted in the truth of Romans 8:1 (NLT): "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus." This Christmas, stop chasing the peak and step into the stable. Find the "great joy" that is available to all people, no matter what you're dealing with.

Jesus had some knots and nuts on His family tree, just like you and me. Could the Savior of the world be descended from liars, adulterers, criminals, prostitutes, and murderers? Absolutely. And that's what makes God's promise of grace even more amazing.THE BIG IDEA: Jesus came from messed up people for messed up people.

Pastor Seth Troutt kicks off the new sermon series, "Jesus Stories," with an insightful exploration of the parables from the Gospel of Luke.In this first installment, Pastor Seth shares his personal story of experiencing unexpected generosity, drawing parallels with the parable of the great banquet, where Jesus illustrates the kingdom of God as a feast open to all.Through this message, viewers are invited to reflect on the profound generosity of God and our role in extending hospitality to others.Join us as we delve into the transformative stories Jesus told and discover how they invite us to live out radical generosity and grace in our daily lives.00:00 - Introduction05:00 - Big Idea: Jesus wants his house full of all kinds of people.10:50 - Hospitality doesn't expect short-term returns.15:54 - Humans are “good excuse”  factories.22:16 - Jesus doesn't ask us to do what he hasn't already done himself.27:34 - You must say “Yes” to the invitation to taste the feast.32:18 - Christmas at Ironwood**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Welcome to "Lights, Camera, Christmas!" In this series, we step out of the holiday rush to examine the core themes of Advent through the eyes of the Christmas story characters. This week focuses on HOPE. We dive into the prophecy of Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 to understand why Christian hope is a confident certainty—not a fragile wish—because it's anchored in the promised King. Big Idea: Jesus is the promised King who brings certain and confident hope to a world in darkness. The Four Guarantees: We unpack the names of the Messiah—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—as guarantees of God's plan. Local Connection: Pastor Tom shares reflections and a clip from his final broadcast with Mark Zimmerman of Heartfelt Radio, illustrating how hope endures through change.  Giving Tuesday Opportunity: Please consider supporting our ministry on Giving Tuesday (December 2nd) through Richland Gives.

Mark 2:18-3:6 Big Idea: Jesus offers a new, living relationship that threatens old, lifeless religion. Main Points: Jesus Turns:

Big Idea: Jesus is enough for our salvation; and He produces in us a strong desire to know Him intimately. Rejoice in the Lord. (v. 1) Beware of those who claim Jesus is not enough. (vv. 2-3) Testify boldly that Christ is enough. (vv. 4-11)

Big Idea: Jesus is Lord Over All, or not Lord at all! 1 Corinthians 15:12-28I. Jesus is the Lord with all power. 1 Corinthians 15:12-19Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say, “There is no resurrection of the dead”? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is in vain, and so is your faith. Moreover, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified wrongly about God that he raised up Christ—whom he did not raise up, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Those, then, who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished. If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.II. Jesus is the Lord who goes before you. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23But as it is, Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; afterward, at his coming, those who belong to Christ.III. Jesus is Lord over all your enemies. 1 Corinthians 15:24-28Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he abolishes all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign until he puts all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be abolished is death. For God has put everything under his feet. Now when it says “everything” is put under him, it is obvious that he who puts everything under him is the exception. When everything is subject to Christ, then the Son himself will also be subject to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.Next Steps: Believe: I need Jesus to change my dead heart today.Become: I will trust Jesus to fight my battles this week. Be Sent: I will explain the resurrection to someone this week.Discussion Questions: Did the resurrection give you hope in the midst of a challenge last week?  If so, explain.Who do you long to spend time with in eternity? If you could ask them today, what would you want to know about eternity? Describe how your closest relationship would change if you both lived forever.How is it possible that someone with power over death and the grave could die?  Who do you know facing a spiritual battle this week? Pray for the opportunity to push back darkness in their lives this week. 

Have you ever done something so shameful, so embarrassing, so disgusting, so bad, so sinful,that all you wanted to do was run away and hide? Now put yourself in the shoes of Peter wherethat very moment has occurred. After closely following Jesus for three years, in Christ's darkesthour, Peter denied even knowing Him. Not once, not twice, but three times. Although Peter oncesaid, “even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you” (Matt 26:35), he still did.Imagine living with that kind of guilt, weight, and burden. For some, you don't have to imagine.I've failed Jesus too many times, you think. You still come to church, you still believe that Jesusis who He says He is—but you are convinced that because of what you have done, you cannotbe useful for the name of Jesus.This is why we need a Bible. And praise God for passages like John 21:1-19. For those whobelieve that their story is over, know this: your failure does not have the final say—Jesus does.This is a story about the heart of Jesus—the One who pursues disciples who have denied Him,abandoned Him, and let Him down. What does He do with them? Jesus restores.BIG IDEA: Jesus restores.1) Peter Retreats (1-3).- Lies that Cause Us to Retreat (And the Truths to Combat Them)- LIE: God couldn't love me // TRUTH: Romans 5:8- LIE: God can't forgive me // TRUTH: Hebrews 7:25- LIE: God doesn't want me // TRUTH: Ephesians 2:102) Peter Remembers (4-14).- Peter remembered…- When Jesus called him (John 21:4-6; Luke 5:4-8).- When he denied Jesus (John 21:9, John 18:18).3) Peter Restored (15-19).- Why does God restore me?- I'm restored to strengthen others (21:15-17, Luke 22:31-32).- I'm restored to glorify God (21:18-19).- I'm restored to follow Jesus (21:19).

Christians often call Jesus king, and rightfully so. But how often do we consider what it truly means to live under the rule of a King?  As the final days of Jesus earthly ministry comes to an end he ascends into heaven to take his place enthroned in heaven where he reigns forever, and Pastor Fikre Prince asserts that this should mean something to the believers daily living.Big Idea: Jesus is enthroned as King.Key Question: How does Jesus' enthronement impact us today?1.     He rules over us. (Daniel 7:13-14)2.     He intercedes for us. (Hebrews 7:26, 8:1-2)3.     He commissions us. (Acts 1:6-11a, 2:33)

Pastor Andy Cass In a world of brand confusion, even Jesus gets reimagined to fit personal preferences. But what if the real Jesus doesn't cater to our image—but calls us to be reshaped in His? TEXT: Luke 11:23, Luke 11:37–40, Luke 11:42–44, Luke 11:46–48, Luke 11:52, 2 Timothy 3:1–5, Micah 6:8, Philippians 2:3, Psalm 24:4, Galatians 6:2, Romans 12:9, Matthew 5:16 NOTES: -Do you see Jesus for who he truly is?” “Are you branding Jesus, or is Jesus branding you?” “Are you sitting at his table or have you placed him on your table as a decoration?” -“Do you have a Biblical perspective or a collage from culture and your hopeful thoughts?” BAD BUT COMMON BRAND (False brand) -A Friend who loves but never convicts. -A Messiah who serves but never leads. -A King who blesses but never corrects. BIG IDEA-“Jesus will not be branded as a pushover. Instead, He is the One who pushes through our expectations, desires, and self-serving nature.” Questions: BRANDING JESUS into a better way: Neglect → Justice – Practice justice and love for God. (Micah 6:8) Pride → Humility – Seek to serve rather than be honored. (Philippians 2:3) Corruption → Integrity – Be pure in heart and actions. (Psalm 24:4) Burden → Compassion – Help others instead of weighing them down. (Galatians 6:2) Hypocrisy → Sincerity – Live authentically in faith and action. (Romans 12:9) Obstruction → Guidance – Lead people to truth, not away from it. (Matthew 5:16)

Date: December 8, 2024SERIES: Christmas for All GenerationsTITLE: What is Your Something?TEXT: James 1:2-5BIG IDEA: Jesus brings peace to all generations.SERMON NOTES: http://tiny.cc/notes20241208RESPOND: http://thecreeksidechurch.org/discovercard

The Big Idea: Jesus paid our debt on the cross. He bore our sins upon his body. He suffered and died in our place, as our substitute. Jesus took the shame, condemnation, and pain we were to bear. He carried our cross and paid the ultimate price. It was a very high price to pay for our forgiveness.Main Points:1. Forgiveness comes at a cost. If you forgive someone, you bear the cost rather than insisting that the wrongdoer does. And that is what Jesus, the Mighty God, was doing when he came to earth and lived as a man and died a criminal's death on a wooden cross.2. Here is an important understanding about our forgiveness: Jesus didn't have to do it. He was not obligated to take our penalty. He was not forced to do so. He did not have to love us. We are not worthy of his love. Yet, Christ chose to love us. He chose to take our place. He chose to lay down his life for us.3. What a great and awful price was paid for our freedom. Let us never forget there was a high cost to our forgiveness, but it was a cost Jesus was willing to pay.Today's Scripture Verses:1 Peter 1:18-19 - “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”John 10:18 -  "No one takes my life from me; I lay it down of my own accord.”Galatians 2:20 - “The life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
