I Am the Bread of Life | Rev. Kevin Johnson | North Raleigh UMCWhat are we really hungry for?In this message from our I Am sermon series, Rev. Kevin Johnson explores Jesus' powerful declaration in John 6:35: "I am the bread of life." As Jesus speaks to a crowd that has just witnessed the feeding of the 5,000, he invites them—and us—to look beyond physical needs and discover the deeper satisfaction found only in him.Through humor, biblical insight, and practical application, Kevin examines what it means for Jesus to be the true bread from heaven, the source of eternal life, and the one who brings us into relationship with God. In a world constantly telling us we need more, Jesus offers a different promise: that in him, there is enough.In this sermon, you'll discover:• Why Jesus' "I Am" statements are so significant in John's Gospel• How the manna in the wilderness points to Christ• What it means for Jesus to be the Bread of Life• Why worldly satisfaction never lasts• How communion invites us into God's life and love• What it means to trust God for our daily breadScripture: John 6:30-58Preacher: Rev.

In 2 Corinthians 6, the Apostle Paul pulls back the curtain on real ministry and genuine faith. Instead of pointing to success, comfort, or popularity, Paul points to endurance, holiness, sacrifice, and wholehearted devotion to Christ. He reminds believers not to waste the grace of God, to remain faithful through trials, and to live as God's distinct people in a world that constantly pressures them to compromise. In this message, we explore: * How to avoid receiving God's grace in vain * Why genuine ministry often involves suffering and sacrifice * The marks of a heart transformed by Christ * What it means to be “unequally yoked” * How God calls His people to holiness without isolation * Why obedience matters most when it becomes difficult Whether you are facing opposition, temptation, discouragement, or simply trying to live faithfully in an increasingly hostile culture, this chapter offers both challenge and encouragement.

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. (Isaiah 22:20-25) ~~~~~ This sermon was preached on Lord's Day afternoon at Ebenezer Strict Baptist Chapel, Broad Oak, Heathfield, East Sussex, England. ~~~~~ *1/ Eliakim - A type of Christ. 2/ Christ - A nail in a sure place. 3/ Christ - What was hung upon him. 4/ Christ - The burden that was cut off when he lay down his life.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon presents Isaiah 22:20–25 as a profound typology of Jesus Christ, revealing Him as the divinely appointed, unshakable foundation of God's covenant people. Through the figure of Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the text illustrates Christ's role as the sure nail fastened in a firm place—secure in the Trinity, the Scriptures, God's eternal purposes, and the hearts of believers—enduring all trials and unmovable by sin, death, or human failure. The passage emphasizes that upon Christ are hung all the glory, burdens, and sins of His people, who are united to Him in His sacrificial death, where He bore the full weight of divine judgment. His crucifixion, described as being cut off, was not defeat but the decisive removal of the burden of sin, fulfilling God's redemptive plan and securing eternal salvation. The sermon concludes by affirming that the Holy Spirit's work in conviction, repentance, and faith confirms that believers are those for whom Christ died, and thus their sins are truly forgiven and removed.
May 17th | Freedom | Galatians 4:1–7In this powerful message from Galatians 4:1–7, Pastor Matt Darby unpacks the life-changing truth of the Gospel: through Jesus Christ, we are no longer slaves — we are sons and daughters of God.The churches in Galatia were struggling to stay rooted in grace alone, faith alone, and Christ alone. Like many believers today, they were tempted to add religious performance, morality, and self-effort to the finished work of Jesus. Paul's message calls them — and us — back to freedom.Pastor Matt explores the two spiritual identities every person lives under: slavery or sonship. He reveals how the Gospel doesn't simply improve behavior; it completely transforms identity. Through the adoption made possible by Jesus' death and resurrection, God brings us out of fear, shame, striving, and spiritual bondage into the security of His family.This message dives into:• The reality of spiritual slavery• Why behavior always flows from identity• The power of adoption through Christ• What it means to cry out “Abba, Father”• How the Holy Spirit confirms our identity as children of God• The difference between living for approval and living from acceptanceIf you've ever struggled with insecurity, shame, striving, or feeling like you have to earn God's love, this message is an invitation to walk in the freedom Jesus purchased for you.You are not tolerated by God — you are loved. In Christ, you are no longer a slave, but a son.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
Most Christians never stop to ask this question:What if the reason there's no spiritual power in your life… is because you're still living like a “mere human” instead of God's temple?In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul confronts a church full of saved people who were still acting spiritually immature—divided by pride, obsessed with status, comparing ministries, and building their lives with “wood, hay, and stubble” that won't survive the fire of God's judgment.This message exposes the dangerous difference between being truly saved… and actually spiritually mature.Are you building your life on Christ—or on reputation, personalities, human wisdom, and worldly success?Paul takes us from spiritual babyhood to the staggering reality that believers are the very Temple of God. The Spirit of God dwells in His people. That changes everything.In this sermon:• The signs of spiritual immaturity• Why envy, division, and comparison reveal carnality• The danger of idolizing Christian leaders• What “wood, hay, and stubble” look like today• Why some Christian works will burn at the Judgment Seat of Christ• What it means to be God's holy temple• Why worldly wisdom is destroying modern Christianity• How to stop chasing status and start living from sonship in ChristThe world tells you to build a name for yourself.Christ calls you to surrender to His Spirit and become a vessel for His glory.If the fire of God tested your life tonight… what would remain?
Study session scripture: Romans 8:15-25For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.Study session topics:Children of God (vv. 15-17) Here Paul fully lays out how profound our new standing with God is Paul briefly touched on it in 5:1-5 -Peace with God--we are no longer God's enemies This grace in which we stand--we have a new standing before God We are not merely slaves or servants of God (though we are those things as well) "Adoption"--this word choice is important Only Paul uses this word in the New Testament, and it doesn't appear in the Old Testament at all How close to God are we as sons? The Holy Spirit allows us to call Him "Abba! Father!"--the same term of address Christ used in Mark 14:36 -Paul says the Holy Spirit bears witness with us that we are children of God--how does the Spirit bear witness? Evidence of the Spirit's presence within us--the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) The Spirit produces in us a willingness to suffer for Christ Persecution--we will be mistreated by the world for our allegiance to God (Matthew 5:11-12, John 15:18-20) Purification--God will give us difficult circumstances to further sanctify us (Hebrews 12:7-11) As part of the full rights of sonship that adoption entails, Paul declares us to be heirs of God with Christ What does it mean to be an heir of God? Our final future state--glorified in heaven Our present circumstances--God lavishes His love and blessings on us In both cases, the true inheritance is God HimselfHope of future glory Paul transitions to this topic by declaring that our suffering in this life is insignificant compared to the indescribable glory we will one day experience -Paul restates this idea in II Corinthians 4:16-17 Paul is speaking from experience Paul broadens the principle of suffering giving way to glory and applies it to all of creation, specifically non-rational creation The picture Paul paints of the cosmos is distinct from the way an atheist would describe it--Paul talks about a universe that has a purpose, has lost that purpose, and looks forward to the restoration of that purpose The imagery and words Paul uses point to the fall in Genesis 3 and the frustration of the teacher in Ecclesiastes At the same time, creation desires to be set free of the fall and be made new, as God promised He would (Isaiah 11:6-9) At the end of the passage , Paul again narrows his focus to his audience to address the dissonance we feel and our hope for its resolution The "first fruits of the Spirit" does not refer to the fruit of the Spirit, but rather the first portion of the Christian's inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14) -Earlier Paul treats our adoption as something that has already occurred--here he speaks of it as something yet to happen We have become part of God's family, but we do not yet have full rights and inheritance because we are not yet who we ought to be Paul finishes this point by reminding us that these glorious things are still to come, and we anticipate them in hope that "does not put us to shame" (5:5) Study session audio: S4 E21: Romans 8:15-25
What's the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him? In this message from 2 Corinthians 3, we explore one of the most sobering and hope-filled truths in Scripture: it is possible to be deeply religious—and still miss the life that only Christ can give. The Apostle Paul contrasts the “letter that kills” with the “Spirit who gives life,” pointing us to a faith that goes beyond external activity to genuine, heart-level transformation. This sermon challenges us to examine whether our faith is merely routine… or truly alive. You'll discover: * The danger of religious activity without real transformation * Why self-reliance leads to spiritual dryness * How the veil is removed when we turn to Christ * What it means to experience true freedom in the Spirit * How God transforms us “from one degree of glory to another” This message will both confront and encourage you to move beyond surface-level faith and into a vibrant, growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
What if fear was never meant to control you…but to lead you somewhere deeper?In this episode of Impact Over Influence, we unpack a powerful truth:fear of the Lord isn't something to run from—it's something that transforms us.“I know that I know”… but do we really?Scripture warns us in 1 John not to be deceived—and yet so many of us are walking in a version of faith that's missing the awe of God.When fear is misplaced, it produces:➡️ Anxiety➡️ Confusion➡️ ControlBut when fear is rightly placed—in the Lord—it produces:➡️ Wisdom (Proverbs 9:10)➡️ Surrender➡️ TransformationThis episode dives into: • The difference between worldly fear vs. fear of the Lord • How blind spots can quietly open doors to the enemy • Why unity and purity matter in your walk (Psalm 139) • The role of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11:2) in shaping us into Christ • What it really means to be in the Potter's hands (Jeremiah 18)You'll hear real moments where things didn't go as planned…rooms double booked, pressure rising…BUT GOD stepped in.Because sometimes when we don't have it all figured out,that's the exact moment God begins to move.
Serving with Christ- What can the servant of God expect to experience? It is certainly not a glamorous calling. In fact, you can expect to face hardship in your service to God. Serving Christ means separation from the world, but not isolation.
What if the biggest question this Easter isn't “Do you believe Jesus rose?”—but “What are you doing with the Holy Spirit?”In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor Nathan goes beyond the familiar story of the empty tomb and challenges us with a deeper reality:The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you.So what are you doing with it?Looking at the eyewitness accounts of the resurrection, we see something remarkable—multiple perspectives that don't contradict, but actually prove the authenticity of what happened. From the women at the tomb to over 500 witnesses, the resurrection isn't just faith—it's grounded in real history.But this message doesn't stop there.Pastor Nathan shifts the focus from what happened then… to what's happening now:• Why many people followed Jesus—but walked away when it got hard• How even Jesus' own brother didn't believe—until he encountered the risen Christ• What it means that the Holy Spirit now dwells inside believers• The warning: Do not quench the Spirit• The question every believer must answer:
1. Righteousness in Christ: What it really looks like. 2. Righteousness in Christ: What it does not look like. 3. How we should live and what righteousness should look like in our lives.
Have you ever felt that quiet tension between your ambition and your faith? You love Jesus.You’re grateful for the gifts and opportunities He’s given you.And yet… the pace feels relentless. The meetings, the deadlines, the expectations, the invisible pressure to keep achieving and proving. Even when things are going well, there can still be a restlessness underneath it all. That’s why I’m so grateful for this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast with Erin Harrigan about her book, Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success with Jesus. Erin speaks directly to high-achieving Christian women—women who care deeply about excellence in their work but don’t want success to come at the cost of their peace, their families, or their intimacy with God. In our conversation, we talk about: The subtle ways self-reliance sneaks into our work Why hustle culture can quietly shape our identity How to pursue ambition without striving for worth Practical rhythms that anchor your workday in Christ What it looks like to measure success differently What I love most is that Erin doesn’t tell women to abandon ambition. Instead, she invites us to surrender it—to bring our goals, businesses, and careers under the lordship of Jesus so that our work becomes an offering rather than an idol. As someone who understands the tension of building a platform, stewarding opportunities, and caring for family at the same time, this message felt especially timely. We can work diligently and faithfully without carrying the crushing weight of proving ourselves. You were never meant to hustle for your value.You already have it in Christ. If you’re feeling stretched thin, quietly burned out, or simply hungry for a healthier rhythm, I think this episode will encourage you deeply. Praying this conversation helps you release striving and receive the steady, sustaining presence of the Lord in your work.

Let's be real: emotional eating isn't just about food. It's about the stories, stress, and self-talk that drive us there.

In this episode we'll talk about how to break that cycle, not through more willpower, but through renewal of mind, body, and spirit. Because sometimes what we're craving isn't food at all, it's peace, purpose, and the presence of Christ.

This is the sixth episode in a series of introductory overviews to various sections of the scriptures. We are now dealing with the writings of the Minor Prophets (Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zachariah, Malachi). These writers had varied ministries, sometimes with very short messages for God's people.NOTE: I said that the NT has 39 books, but I meant to say that the NT has only 27 books vs 39 for the OT, which is why there are more sections in the OT.Proverbs 30:5 KJVEvery word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.Related Podcasts:— Introduction to the Writings of Moses— Introduction to the Time of the Judges— Introduction to the Time of the Kings— Introduction to the Wisdom Writings— Introduction to the Major Prophets— The Purpose of the Minor Prophets— Male/Female Dynamics: Hosea & Gomer— Lessons from the Book of Jonah— The Third Day— The Final Reward of the WickedRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— The Sign of the Prophet Jonah— The Bride of Christ— What is the Day of the Lord?Text UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.

In today's message, Pastor Bill Francavilla unpacks an essential biblical truth:You need the global Church… and you need your local church family.Drawing from Romans 12, Ephesians 4, John 10, Luke 9, and the stories of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, this sermon explores:• The difference between the global family of God and your local church family• Why both matter deeply for your spiritual growth• How God uses real relationships, real people, and real community to shape our lives• How unity, humility, and covenant commitment strengthen the body of Christ• What happens when we stop being “attenders” and become true familyYou'll hear stories about God's people showing up in the Badlands, in airports, across continents — and right here in our own church.

“The Cost of Discipleship Bonhoeffer - Part 2” – “What Following Christ Looks Like” – The Conference at Fano * Actions must follow what one believe, or else one could not claim to believe it. * The last words of his speech: “What are we waiting for? The time is late.” - What does “Deny Yourself” Mean? * Hebrews 11:39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. * Philippians 3:7-8 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. (8) What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ - What does it mean to live boldly? * It means being unashamed to speak of Christ, to show His love, and to stand for justice, even when it comes at a personal cost.

I dive into a question that resonates deeply within the body of Christ: What is the number one thing we need from God right now? For many of us, it's not just about financial provision but rather seeking answers, direction, clarity, or wisdom on the right path to take. If you're feeling lost, without a sense of direction, purpose, or a clear plan, this message is for you. Join me tonight as I speak to those of you who are uncertain about what to do or which way to go, sharing insights and encouragement as God leads. #clarity #direction
The Presence of Christ: What would be the best thing for you? How about for the people you love? To have the spiritual power that comes from a growing knowledge and experience of the love of Christ. To be rooted and established in his love. And that his presence would be real to you in your inner being. Recorded on Jun 2, 2024, on Ephesians 3:14-21 by Pastor David Parks. Our series, Ephesians: The Gospel in Life, serves as an epilogue to Finding Life in Jesus' Name from John's gospel. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians reveals much about how the life found by faith in Jesus actually works. This series will touch on themes of grace, identity, purpose, family, the church, spiritual warfare, and more. If you're considering the life of Jesus or if you're ready to follow him today, this series is for you. Sermon Transcript For a little over a month now, we've been working through Paul's letter to the Ephesians in a sermon series called The Gospel in Life. And today, as we finish chapter 3, we're going to consider the second prayer of Paul in this letter, which is really one of the most expansive and powerful prayers in all of the Scriptures. The reason it's so powerful is because Paul prays for what would be the absolute best thing for his friends there in Ephesus. Have you ever wondered what would be the best thing for you? Or what would be the best thing for someone you love? A parent or spouse or child or friend? A few years ago, I found myself thinking about that question a lot. We'd just moved our oldest son, Tyler, into his dorm room for his freshmen year at college. And Holly and I drove home with a bunch of empty bins in the back and a lot of feelings swirling around in our hearts — healthy pride in who he was and in his accomplishments, fears of what he might encounter, and everything in between. We realized that our relationship and our role as parents had seemingly changed overnight. Holly and I found ourselves feeling driven to pray for Tyler a lot that year. But what should we have prayed for? Should we have prayed that God would protect our son from negative influences? Should we have prayed that God would help him get good grades? or make friends? or that he would just be happy? What would be the best thing for him? What would be the best thing to ask God for? Well, today, we're going to discover what would be the very best thing for all of us. Grab your Bibles/apps and open to Eph 3:14. Ephesians 3:14–17a (NIV), “14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” Paul starts this section with “For this reason…” which is the same way he started the text we looked at last week. It almost seems as if Paul interrupted the flow of his letter with an aside about his story and his suffering. But after considering how Paul's story was changed in every way by the story of who God is and what God has done and is doing through his Son and Spirit — in other words, the story of the gospel — it doesn't seem like that much of a tangent. In fact, his story as a Jewish man who became a Christian and then was commissioned by Jesus to be his apostle to the Gentiles fits the great theme of this letter of our union with Christ and, therefore, our unity with one another in him, Jew and Gentile. But after a brief stop in connecting his story to this theme of unity, Paul comes back to where he left off in Chapter 2 with another prayer. But what does he pray for? He says that he's kneeling before God the Father in heaven, “from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.” Now, this doesn't translate well into English, but the Greek word for Father is the root of the word for family. So, Paul starts this prayer with a reminder of who he is praying to.

This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Josh Philpot shares some of the intense wrangling and controversial debates he sees happening within Christian circles. These things being talked about and sometimes hotly argued about are highly magnified by social media, the comment sections, and all the rest. Understanding that all believers, even within a solid local church, will not agree about everything, he asks Dr. Richard Caldwell how can Christians find a way through some of this. Can Christians disagree so strenuously and not cause disunity that brings harm to the body of Christ-- What might be the best approach to having some of these discussions that need to be had-- Can some of this lead us to dis-fellowshipping with other believers--

Daily Devotional Sunday "Little Easter" Every Sunday in Lent is considered a "little Easter," a time to celebrate the Lord's resurrection and spend time praising God. So, in keeping with this, our Sunday devotionals will be Easter hymns or songs. Take a moment to sing these with your family or by yourself. If you like, listen to the song on your computer or phone. But be sure to spend time rejoicing and praising God for our new life in Jesus Christ. Today's song is newer than some of the others but one of my very favorite praise songs. Reflect on the powerful words.

It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Each day, we read one or two chapters of Scripture and focus on one particular verse. We make some observations about how that verse touches us, discern how it applies to our lives, and offer a prayer related to what we have read. - Rev.

Serving with Christ- What can the servant of God expect to experience? It is certainly not a glamorous calling. In fact, you can expect to face hardship in your service to God. Serving Christ means separation from the world, but not isolation.

Today we turn our gaze toward the future. One day you and I will leave this earth. When we do, most likely, the letter of our lives will be fully written and handed to our family and friends to live with for the rest of their lives. We aren't sending a letter back to ourselves but forward to our family. The question is, what will be written there? Will we seed hope in them? Will they draw joy from the choices in our lives, eternal and heavenly joy? Or will we leave them with doubt and fear?We can't go back into our past to change what has happened, we can only do what is right now. The same is true for what will come in our future and how our legacy will live on after us. We will have zero control then. But we can do the right thing today, and tomorrow, and increasingly to the end.I want to share three phone calls I have received in my life. Three times I had to store away my thoughts of someone who had passed. I still hold within me those same feelings. But what did they leave me with? What was sealed forever in the hearts of the people they knew and loved? The results represent options for you. I hope you will listen carefully and decide what kind of phone call you want your loved ones to receive when you are one.- May 19th 1992 - The passing of my grandmother- November 15th 1996 - The passing my best friend's mom- July 14th 2008 - The passing of a sweet sister in Christ- What will your passing represent in terms of: outside of Christ, once in Christ, or NOW in Christ?
