Habits run our lives whether we like it or not. The question is: are they helping you succeed… or quietly holding you back? In this episode, John Coffman shares decades of leadership wisdom on how habits shape your management philosophy, your career, and even your team's success. You'll hear why the easiest habits to form are usually the wrong ones, and how to intentionally replace them with routines that build trust, sharpen focus, and actually get things finished. We'll cover: How unconscious habits dictate your leadership style. The six-part framework that will keep any project or career on track. Why “finishing” is a habit most people fail to develop. Real stories of how small habit shifts created massive results. Listen now and learn how to take control of your habits before they take control of you.

Mark 1:35-45 35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!" 38 Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else - to the nearby villages - so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving our demons. 40 A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." 41 Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured. 43 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44 "See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them." 45 Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere. NIV 84 Lesson Notes Prayer as Appointment - in verse 35, there is an emphasis on both the "priority" of his prayer and the "prior to" of his prayer. Corrie Ten Boom said, "Don't just pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it.” A Painless Hell - a researcher and physician named Paul Brand called leprosy this due to its anesthetic qualities. It brings total numbness to all your extremities including your ears, eyes, and nose. Come. Compassion. Complete. 1 The leper comes to Christ 2 Christ has compassion for the leper 3 Christ completely cleans the leper Three Different Kinds of Allegiance: 1 Authentic allegiance - the leper in Mark 1:40 2 Affordable allegiance - the rich young man in Mark 10:17 3 Apathetic allegiance - the soldiers in Mark 15:19 Compassion - the Greek word translated as compassion is the word "splagchnizomai." It comes from a word meaning "guts." The word means to feel deeply as in the depths of one's bowels. The word is used only 12 times in all of the NT and each time it's used it is related to Jesus.  Discussion Questions 1. Ice Breaker: What would you say are the top three things that disgust you and why? 2. Verse 35 emphasizes the priority and prior to of Jesus' prayer life. How could you rearrange your schedule or habits so that prayer becomes a non-negotiable, intentional appointment rather than an afterthought? 3. The man with leprosy approached Jesus with authentic allegiance—kneeling in humility and trusting His power. In your own life, what might it look like to approach Jesus with that same kind of genuine surrender? 4. Jesus responded to the leper with compassion rather than disgust. Who are the “hard-to-love” people in your life right now, and what steps could you take to respond to them more like Jesus? 5. The story shows that Jesus' holiness “contaminates” us in a positive way—making the unclean clean. Where in your life do you need to invite Jesus' cleansing power?

When doctors told John Kaufman there were no more treatment options, most people would have given up. John made a different choice. In this deeply moving and inspiring episode, Jason Schroeder talks with John about his 25-year journey living with an incurable cancer a journey filled with setbacks, unexpected blessings, and a daily decision to live fully, not just exist. You'll hear: The three mindsets people adopt after a life-changing diagnosis and the one that transforms everything. How reframing your thoughts can turn fear into fuel for living. Why community, small moments, and “blessings in disguise” matter more than ever. A life-changing sunrise conversation with a stranger on a Maui beach. The powerful question that every person healthy or not should ask themselves today. Whether you've faced illness, loss, or simply the grind of everyday life, John's story will challenge and inspire you to choose how you live… starting right now.

Mark 1:29-34 29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. 32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and the demon possessed. 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. he also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was. NIV 84 Lesson Notes Mark 10:42-45 42 "Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave to all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." John 13:3-5 3 "Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. 4 So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with a towel he had around them." Three actions of service in Mark 1:31 1 He goes to her, he moves toward her need. 2 He takes her hand, he gets personally involved in her need. 3 He helps her up, he serves her need in a very practical way. Three takeaways from Jesus' first day of ministry 1 Jesus Christ uses his authority to serve others. 2 Jesus Christ serves us in our deepest need. 3 Disciples of Jesus Christ are saved to serve.  Discussion Questions 1. Jesus uses His authority to serve others. How can we reflect Jesus' servant-hearted use of authority in our roles at work, home, or church this week? 2. Jesus serves us in our deepest need. What needs, burdens, or struggles are you carrying right now that you can bring to Jesus for healing and restoration? 3. Disciples are saved to serve. Where in your life is God calling you to step into service— either in small, everyday ways or through a larger commitment? 4. Verse 31 has been called the gospel in miniature: He comes to us, takes us by the hand, and lifts us up. Can you think of a time when Jesus “lifted you up” out of something? How did that experience shape how you now serve others?

In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Coffman, founder of Valence Supplements and a mineral balancing practitioner who has lived through some of the harshest lessons in health. From growing up in Flint, Michigan during the water crisis, enduring 12 ear surgeries and mercury exposure from dental fillings, to navigating Lyme, mold, Epstein-Barr, and heavy metal toxicity, Matthew's story is as real as it gets -- yet very similar and relatable to mine and many of my clients'What makes his work stand out is how he bridges Dr. Paul Eck's original mineral balancing philosophy with modern updates — refining supplements, exposing the myths of “replacement therapy,” and showing how true healing involves minerals, emotions, and lifestyle alignment.This conversation is for anyone who has tried everything and still feels stuck. You'll learn why minerals are the body's operating system, how heavy metals mimic them, and how restoring balance can shift not only physical health but also emotional patterns, relationships, and even your sense of self.Matthews website - book a consultationValence Supplements: code EVAH for 15% off Join the 10 day resetJoin the 3 day live immersion August 15-17 

Mark 1:21-28 21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit cried out, 24 "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are - the Holy One of God!" 25 "Be quiet!" said Jesus sternly. "Come out of him!" 26 The evil spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek. 27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching - and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and then obey him." 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.  NIV 84 Lesson Notes Capernaum It is a town on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee and is most likely the hometown of Peter, Andrew, James, John, and Matthew. It is fitting then that it becomes kind of their headquarters for ministry to the region of Galilee. Synagogue It is a place where Jews would gather for instruction. They formed during the time of exile after the temple was destroyed. Wherever there were 10 Jewish men above the age of 12 a synagogue could be formed. Good Theology "Even the demons ace their theology exam." The evil spirit recognizes the humanity of Jesus, the mission of Jesus, and the divinity of Jesus. The Calming of the Storm 39 He rebuked the wind said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" 41 They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? That even the wind and waves obey Him." Three Ways to Respond to Instruction 1 To perceive a sound (hearing) 2 To pay attention (listening) 3 To position under (obeying) - obedience literally means to "hear under" Response to the Instruction of Jesus In order to understand the teaching of Jesus Christ, you have to stand under the teaching of Jesus Christ. The only way to over-come the world is to place yourself under the authority of Jesus Christ. Discussion Questions 1 Icebreaker: For fun: If I asked your friends or family to name a subject of which they thought you were an authority, what might they say and why? 2 In verse 22, the people are impressed because Jesus teaches as an authority. In verse 27, the people are unsettled because Jesus teaches with authority. What is the difference between being an authority and having authority? 3 Read Mark 4:35-41 and compare the interaction between Jesus and the storm with our text this morning. What stands out the most to you as you compare them?  4 There are three different ways to respond to instruction listed in the notes. Discuss the differences between the three responses. How have you seen each of these responses in your own life when it comes to following Jesus?

Mark 1:14-15 14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" NIV 84 From the Lesson Priene Calendar Inscription: two stones were recovered in the marketplace at Priene, an ancient Greek city in Western Turkey. The stones date back to 9 BC and record an edict by Paullus Fabius Maximus, who was the proconsul of the Roman province of Asia. It reads, "the birthday of the god Augustus was the beginning of the gospel for the world." Outline of Jesus' First Sermon: A. Life changing news      1. The time has come      2. The kingdom of God is near B. News changing life      1. Repent      2. Believe Time After Time: Chronos is measured time, it is where we get the word "chronological," it refers to a quantity of time. Kairos is "deep" time, it is a significant time, it refers to a quality of time. Near but not yet here: "With His first coming, Jesus shows that He can deliver us from sin, suffering, and death; with His second coming, Jesus will deliver us from sin, suffering, and death." Commands and Continuous: The two verbs in the second half of Jesus' sermon are both commands and in a continuous form. They are not just good suggestions. They are not just one-time decisions. Metamorphosis: The verb to repent comes from the Greek word metanoia that is the root for our English word metamorphosis. In nature, it is most often used to describe the process of transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly. The word has come to mean "a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means." Kingdom Living: The two verbs that best describe daily life in the kingdom of God are repent and believe. Repentance means with each new day, I should become less like myself and more like my King. Belief means with each new day, I should rely less on myself and more on my King.  Discussion Questions 1. When was the last time you enjoyed doing something or being with someone so much that you lost track of time? Jesus has come not that we may have a full life in terms of quantity but that we may have life to the full in terms of quality. What is the difference? 2. The kingdom of God is already, but not yet. It is near, but not yet here. We are now living in the time between "He can" and "He will." Discuss this reality of living now in the kingdom of God.  3. Repentance is a word that describes daily life in the kingdom of God. With each new day, you should become more like your King and less like yourself. In what specific way this year, have you seen this process of transformation in your life? 4. Belief is a word that describes daily life in the kingdom of God. With each new day, you should rely more on your King and less on yourself. How have you seen yourself grow in trust and dependence on God this year?

Today's True Crime To-Go is a disturbing case out of Knoxville, Tennessee, that began with a welfare check on June 22, 2025. Hosts Jamie and John detail the horrifying discovery made by police: a man brutally assaulted, bound, and doused with bleach, while his 3-year-old stepdaughter and SUV were missing. The story escalates into a tense police chase, leading to the arrest of 19-year-old Charles Coffman and the recovery of the unharmed toddler. Listeners will hear Coffman's chilling confession of the assault, his girlfriend's corroborating account, and the mother's denial, all piecing together a perplexing crime of violence, kidnapping, and deception, with an ongoing investigation into the full motives and circumstances. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Mark 1:12-13 12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, 13 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. From the Lesson "Mockery of every sort was added to their deaths. They were nailed to crosses. They were doomed to the flames and burnt to serve as a nightly illumination. They were covered with the skins of beasts and torn by dogs until they perished.” Tacitus in his book Annals “In order to understand the temptations of Jesus, we have to understand that Jesus' hair was still wet when he stepped out into the desert.” Russell Moore in his book Tempted and Tried It is impossible to overcome the burden of temptation without first receiving the blessing of baptism. Two questions answered at Jesus' baptism: 1 Who are you? It's an identity question. Jesus is embraced by the love of the Father.  2 How do you? It's an ability question. Jesus is empowered by the presence of the Holy Spirit You are embraced by the love of the Father and empowered by the presence of the Holy Spirit in order to embark on the mission of Jesus.  Discussion Questions 1 Who are you? Make a list of your top ten answers to this question. Do you tend to answer this question vocationally, relationally, politically? 2 We are sons and daughters of the Most High God. This must become who we are at the core of our identity. How does knowing this gospel truth as the core of your identity affect the way you live? 3 How do you? Read verse 12 again. It is the Holy Spirit who sends Jesus out into the desert. Jesus is empowered for his mission by the Holy Spirit. What does it mean to be empowered by the Holy Spirit? Do you have an example from your life? 4 It is impossible to overcome the burden of temptation without first receiving the blessing of baptism. How does knowing you are embraced by the Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit help you when it comes to temptation?

Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:9-11 50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.  53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."  Lesson Notes Special Days Website: daysoftheyear.com Ascension Day: it is the 40th day of Easter. It is a Christian holiday that commemorates the belief of the bodily ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven. This year it was on Thursday, May 29. Book: The Ascension of Christ: Recovering a Neglected Doctrine by Patrick Schreiner. Five Reasons Why The Ascension Has Been Neglected: 1 The Bible speaks little of it 2 It seems like a bad plan. 3 The implications are unclear. 4 The event is abnormal. 5 The resurrection subsumes the ascension. Andrew Murray on the Ascension: “Faith has in its foundation four great cornerstones on which the building rests – the Divinity of Christ, the Incarnation, the Atonement on the Cross, and the Ascension to the Throne. The last one, the ascension, is the most wonderful, it is the crown of all the rest, it is the perfect revelation of what God has made Christ for us. And so, in the Christian life, it is the most important, for the ascension is the glorious fruit of all that goes before.”  Discussion Questions 1. Have you ever been part of a church that has emphasized the ascension of Jesus Christ? Have you ever been part of a class or read a book about it? Would you agree that the ascension of Jesus Christ is a neglected doctrine? 2. Five reasons were shared as to why the ascension might be considered a neglected doctrine. Which one of the reasons do you think might have the most to do with its neglect? 3. In your own words, why do you think it is important to properly emphasize the ascension? 4. Discuss Andrew Murray's quote about the ascension. Do you agree that the ascension should be considered as the most important cornerstone of our faith? 5. Read again the above seven verses from Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:9-11. What stands out to you from these verses about the ascension of Jesus Christ?

He is the God who sees the invisible loads in our life that the world cannot see: the despair and fears, the way you give Him everything, the grief you carry, the pain, the hidden hopes and dreams. And He cares for us.

Mark 1:1 1 The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Lesson Notes The Beginning of the Gospels: Matthew - a genealogy Mark - an announcement Luke - a birth narrative John - a theological statement Three Aspects of Mark's Gospel: 1 It's a "not too late" gospel 2 It's a "do not wait" gospel 3 It's a "speak it straight" gospel NT Wright on the Beginning of Mark's Gospel: “It's as if you are sound asleep and dreaming, when suddenly the door bursts open and a bright light shines full in your face. A voice, breaking in on your dream-world, shouts ‘Wake up! Get up! You'll be late!” And without more ado, the speaker splashes your face with cold water to make the point. Time to stop dreaming and face the most important day of your life.” Unique Features of Mark's Style of Writing: It is written entirely in the present tense. It is the shortest of the four gospels and most fast paced. There is less teaching and more action in Mark's gospel. Mark asks a lot of questions - over 100 questions. Mark uses the word - immediately - 41 times in his gospel. Marcus Borg on Mark's use of the term "Son of God": “We will not fully understand Mark's affirmation that Jesus is the Son of God unless we realize that there was another Son of God in that world. For Christians to call Jesus “the Son of God” directly countered Roman imperialism and its rule of the world that they knew. So, already in the first verse, Mark names the conflict that will by the end of his story lead to the execution of Jesus.”  Discussion Questions 1. How does Mark's personal story—his early failure and later usefulness to God—shape the way we understand the Gospel as a “not too late” message? 2. What does the unique style of Mark's writing (see the examples in lesson notes) tell us about the urgency of the message and mission of Jesus? How does this sense of urgency influence your own faith and action? 3. How does Mark's bold proclamation that Jesus is “the Son of God” directly confront the culture and political power of his time? Discuss what it means to declare allegiance to Jesus in a world with competing loyalties. 4. The sermon compares Mark's Gospel to a college signing day announcement. How does this metaphor help us understand what it means to publicly declare our faith to Jesus? Share personal experiences of making faith “announcements” in your own life.

Hebrews 13:7, 17-21 7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider their way of life, and imitate their faith. 17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. 18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. 19 I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner. 20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom by the glory forever and ever. Amen. NOTES ON THE LESSON ON FOLLOWERSHIP Three Questions of Followership: 1 Whose faith are you imitating? 2 Are you willing to submit to someone else? 3 Are you a joy to lead? A Call to Imitate: 1 Corinthians 11:1 - "Be imitators of me, just as I imitate Christ." It is beneficial to have people in our lives whose faith we can imitate. Jesus Learned Obedience: Hebrews 5:8 - “Although Jesus was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.” Obedience and submission are learned behaviors. The Whole of Christianity: The whole of Christianity is about learning to surrender and yield every aspect of your life – every part of it – all of it – to the lordship of Jesus Christ. That's what the Christian faith is all about. The Followership Continuum: The Hebrew writer makes a continuum for following leaders. On one side of the continuum is joy and on the other side of the continuum is burden. NOTES FROM THE LESSON ON SOUL CARE Book on Church Leadership: The Care of Souls:Cultivating a Pastor's Heart by Harold L. Senkbeil The task of the leader in the church is to maintain a constant watch over the souls who have been committed to his care. The Role of the Watchman in the Old Testament: Watchmen were individuals who were appointed to their role and given the responsibility to watch over a city. Typically, they would be posted on a high wall or a tower so that they could see either a messenger or the enemy coming from long distances. The Primary Task of the Church Leader is to "Tend to the Soul" Humans do not have souls, humans are uniquely souls. We are both physical and spiritual, mortal and immortal, ordinary and unique in all of creation. There is nothing else like us in all of God's creation. We are souls.  The Shepherd and His Sheepdog: The relationship of the shepherd and his sheepdog beautifully illustrates the work of the shepherd in the local church with his ears tuned attentively to the voice of the Great Shepherd and his eyes focused carefully on the Great Shepherd's sheep. The Because of Submission: We submit to the shepherds of the local church because they are in a position of responsibility and accountability to the one who is in a position of authority – our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep.  Discussion Questions 1. Who are some people who you have imitated in your life (in any aspect of life)? Who are two or three people whose faith you imitate? What is it about their faith that you imitate?  2. Are you willing to submit to someone else? Can you think of a time when it was hard to submit to someone else? What made it so difficult? Can you think of a time when it was a good thing to submit to someone else? What made it good? Does knowing the "because" of submission in verse 17 help you to be someone who is more willing to submit to them?  3. Where might you place yourself on the followership continuum? Can you think of an example when you or another person was a joy to lead? Can you think of an example when you or another person was a burden to lead?  4. What aspect of the lesson on soul care helped you to better understand the role of the leader in the church?  5. Spend some time praying for the shepherd nomination process at Southside. The shepherd selection team has provided us with a great prayer guide. There is a link to the prayer guide on church center.

Pray specifically for the Lord to bless our church family with a spirit of followership. 

Your weekly country news update for the week of 4/21 featuring an interview with Hayden Coffman.

Matthew 27:50-53 50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith and for faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous will live by faith.” NRSV Discussion Questions 1 Have you ever been offended by the gospel? Which one of these three is more offensive - Jesus is the only way, Jesus died for your sins, Jesus is your King. Is it possible for us to proclaim an offensive message without being offensive? 2 Share with your group some specific ways that you have experienced the explosive power of God in your life. How have you seen His transforming power most at work in your life in the past month? 3 The righteousness of God can be summarized in three ways: God is right. God does what is right. God is making everything right. How do you see the righteousness of God revealed in the faith of Jesus Christ? How have you experienced the righteousness of God in your life of faith?

ROMANS 1:1-6 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. FROM THE LESSON Book about Fatih - Salvation By Allegiance Alone by Matthew Bates Gospel - it literally means "good news." It translates the Greek word - euangelion - where the prefix eu- means "good" and then angelion means "message." It relates to the Greek word - angelos - meaning "messenger" from which the English word angel is derived. Characteristics of the Gospel - 1 The priority of the gospel (verse 1) 2 The promise of the gospel (verse 2) 3 The person of the gospel (verses 3-4) 4 The purpose of the gospel (verse 5) The Full Gospel - "the gospel tells the whole story of Jesus; it's not just a Good Friday story. No matter how central the cross is to the Story, we need to keep in mind that the story is much more than the story of the cross. Jesus didn't just die." Scot McKnight Faith-Fueled Obedience - The NIV translates it as the "obedience that comes from faith." The ESV translates it as the "obedience of faith." NT Wright translates it as "believing obedience." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Ice Breaker: What if you had to share the gospel with another person only using one sentence? How would you summarize the gospel in one sentence? 1 When was the last time you had some really good news that you couldn't wait to share with someone else? What was the news? God gives us the honor and joy of being the ones to share His good news with the world. Is there someone in your circle of influence with whom you could share the good news?  2 Have you ever purposefully read the Old Testament through the lens of the gospel? When you do this, you see the promise of the gospel almost on every page. Is there an example of this that comes to your mind? 3 The good news of Jesus is about "the whole career of Christ." We know that the story of the cross is good news, but how is the rest of the story also good news? 4 In verse 5, Paul says the purpose of the gospel is to bring about "believing obedience." Discuss the important connection between faith and obedience.

LUKE 18:1-8 1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.' 4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me!'” 6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” FROM THE LESSON Book about Fatih - Salvation By Allegiance Alone by Matthew Bates The Fatih Question - his question in verse 8 is "not asked for the purpose of speculation but for the purpose of self-examination." Importance of Faith - "Jesus has more regard for faith than for anything else the earth can yield him." Charles Spurgeon Misconceptions About Faith: 1 Faith is NOT a leap in the dark 2 Faith is NOT the opposite of works 3 Faith is NOT having a positive mindset 4 Faith is NOT a decision to just believe DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Ice Breaker: Do you have a favorite Rocky movie (or a favorite scene) or do you have a Rocky story from your life you could share with your group? 1 Read again Luke 18:1-8. Discuss the widow of this parable as an illustration of the kind of faith that the Son of Man will be looking for upon His return.  2 Would you describe your faith as more of a leap into the unknown or a decision grounded in solid reasoning and substantial proof? 3 Read James 2:26. How has this verse helped you think about the relationship of faith and works? 4 Are you more of a optimist, pessimist, or a realist? What is the difference between having a positive mindset and having faith? 5 Belief has often been reduced to nothing more than mental agreement. Discuss the difference between this kind of belief and the belief of Scripture.

PSALM 39 For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David. 1 I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.” 2 So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased; 3 my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: 4 “Show me, Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. 5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure. 6 “Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be. 7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you. 8 Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools. 9 I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this. 10 Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand. 11 When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth—surely everyone is but a breath. 12 “Hear my prayer, Lord, listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. I dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all my ancestors were. 13 Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again before I depart and am no more.” FROM THE LESSON Hevel - a Hebrew word literally meaning "vapor, mist, smoke, or breath." It is translated also translated as "meaningless, vanity, futility, and insignificant." My favorite definition is by a Hebrew professor who described it as "what's left after you break a soap bubble." This word is located in verses 5, 6, and 11. Amusement - a compound word of two main parts - the heart of the word is "muse" which means to ponder, to meditate upon or to think about. The prefix of the word is the negative "a" which means no or not. So, literally, amusement means "to not think." David's Conclusions About Life and Meaninglessness: 1 Life is too short to have any meaning 2 Life is too swift to have any meaning. 3 The way we live our too short and too swift lives is meaningless. Max Lucado Quote - "God loves you just the way you are, however, he loves you too much to leave you that way." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ICE BREAKER: What is your favorite form of amusement? What do you do for entertainment? Discuss the connection between amusement and not thinking.  1. Read the first three verses. This is the introduction. David is concerned about talking too soon. He talks to God in prayer before talking to others about what he is thinking. Have you ever struggled with talking too soon? Discuss the principle "pray before you say" with your group. 2. Read verses 4-6. Discuss David's three conclusions about life and meaninglessness in these verses. Which one of the conclusions resonated most with you this morning? 3 Read verses 8-13. Now read the words of Job in Job 7:16-21. Compare the two statements. Can you relate to their sentiments? Attempt to put their thoughts into your own words.  4 Read verse 7. The ESV reads, "And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you." Start living out your hope in Jesus Christ today. Are there any actions you want to take or changes you want to make in your life with Jesus? Is there a neighbor you have talked about inviting to church? Is there a missionary you have always thought about supporting? Have you thought about fasting but have never done it? Start today. Share with your group.

PSALM 38 A psalm of David. A petition. 1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. 2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me. 3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. 4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. 5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly. 6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning. 7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body. 8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. 9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you. 10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes. 11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away. 12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie. 13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak; 14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. 15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God. 16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.” 17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. 18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. 19 Many have become my enemies without cause ; those who hate me without reason are numerous. 20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good. 21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God. 22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior. FROM THE LESSON The penitential psalms : These are the psalms of repentance. There are seven of them in the Psalter: Psalm 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143 Four characteristics of repentance: A - Ask for His correction with mercy (verse 1) B - Bring it all to Him (verse 9) C - Convicted by your sin (verse 18) D - Desperate for His help (verses 21-22) Four areas David brought to the Lord: 1 the iniquity caused by his sin 2 the ill effects caused by his sin 3 the isolation felt because of his sin 4 the injustice experienced because of his sin A person of repentance: "I don't want to be known as a person who has made a difference,  I want to be known as a person who has been made different." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ICE BREAKER: Do you have a testimony or story from your life about repentance that you can share with the group? 1. How do you feel about the prayer, "Correct me, Lord"? Read verse 1 again. David is not asking the Lord to not correct him, he is asking the Lord to correct him with mercy. Discuss the difference with your group. 2 The sermon highlighted all of the different areas that David brought to the Lord (each one begins with "my" - ie. my sin, my guilt, my heart). Read verse 9 again. David is bringing "all" of these areas to the Lord. How does his example encourage you? 3 Read verse 18. We must not only confess our sin with our mouths, we must also be convicted by our sin in our hearts. Discuss the importance of both of these responses to our sin.  4 Read verses 21 and 22. What do you hear in David's voice? Do you sense his desperation and his urgency? When are the times when you need the Lord's help most in your life?

The use of GameOn grass to facilitate a more realistic atmosphere in a stadium setting is truly something special. You do not want to miss this episode.

PSALM 36 For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. 1 I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes. 2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin. 3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good. 4 Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong. 5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. 6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord, preserve both people and animals. 7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8 They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. 9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. 10 Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart. 11 May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—thrown down, not able to rise! FROM THE LESSON Three sections of Psalm 36 Section 1: Verses 1-4 are in the form of a lament. Section 2: Verses 5-9 are in the form of a praise or hymn. Section 3: Verses 10-12 are in the form of a prayer. No Fear of God "To have no fear of God is failing to believe not that He exists but that He matters" Timothy Keller The Four Chambers of God's Heart 1 Your love reaches to the heavens (verse 5) 2 Your faithfulness reaches to the skies (verse 5) 3 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains (verse 6) 4 Your justice is like the great deep (verse 6) Definition of Hesed The Hebrew word occurs 245 in the Old Testament but it is really difficult to translate into English. It is a bigger and better word than our English word for love. The ESV translates is as "steadfast love." The NLT translates it as "unfailing love." It is love "with super glue on it." It is love with an "mmph." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ICE BREAKER: Can you think of an example of how you have personally experienced the pervasiveness in our culture of the message to "follow your heart?" 1. In verses 1-4, David laments the condition of the human heart. Read these verses again. What stands out to you about his description?  2. Keller's description of what it means to have no fear of God is helpful. Discuss his description with your group. Can you think of an example from your life when you or someone close to you was indifferent to God? 3. In verses 5-6, David praises the beauty of God's heart. Read these verses again. How does the idea that these four attributes are all part of God's heart help you to think about the heart of God?  4. Hesed is a great Hebrew word that does not translate well into English. What are some ways you have understood or been taught to think about hesed? Read again verses 7-9. How do these descriptions of hesed help you to understand? 5. The takeaway from the lesson today is to not follow your heart, but instead to know God's heart. Discuss this takeaway with your group.

PSALM 37 1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers;     be not envious of wrongdoers! 2 For they will soon fade like the grass     and wither like the green herb. 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;     dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the Lord,     and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord;     trust in him, and he will act. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,     and your justice as the noonday. 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;     fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,     over the man who carries out evil devices! 8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!     Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. 9 For the evildoers shall be cut off,     but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. 10 In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;     though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. 11 But the meek shall inherit the land     and delight themselves in abundant peace. 12 The wicked plots against the righteous     and gnashes his teeth at him, 13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,     for he sees that his day is coming. 14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows     to bring down the poor and needy,     to slay those whose way is upright; 15 their sword shall enter their own heart,     and their bows shall be broken. 16 Better is the little that the righteous has     than the abundance of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,     but the Lord upholds the righteous. 18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,     and their heritage will remain forever; 19 they are not put to shame in evil times;     in the days of famine they have abundance. 20 But the wicked will perish;     the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;     they vanish—like smoke they vanish away. 21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back,     but the righteous is generous and gives; 22 for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,     but those cursed by him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,     when he delights in his way; 24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,     for the Lord upholds his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old,     yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken     or his children begging for bread. 26 He is ever lending generously,     and his children become a blessing. 27 Turn away from evil and do good;     so shall you dwell forever. 28 For the Lord loves justice;     he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever,     but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land     and dwell upon it forever. 30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,     and his tongue speaks justice. 31 The law of his God is in his heart;     his steps do not slip. 32 The wicked watches for the righteous     and seeks to put him to death. 33 The Lord will not abandon him to his power     or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial. 34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way,     and he will exalt you to inherit the land;     you will look on when the wicked are cut off. 35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,     spreading himself like a green laurel tree. 36 But he passed away, and behold, he was no more;     though I sought him, he could not be found. 37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,     for there is a future for the man of peace. 38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;     the future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;     he is their stronghold in the time of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;     he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,     because they take refuge in him. FROM THE LESSON Psalm 37 is an instructional psalm in the Wisdom Literature genre, concerning itself with passing on advice that will help someone live in a way that leads to wisdom, righteousness, and life, rather than foolishness, wickedness, and death. "Fret not" is a phrase that occurs several times in the psalm. It carries a strong meaning, literally translated as "do not let your anger burn". Verse 1 - the WHAT Do not be overwhelmed by your anger over the wicked and prosperous actions of others. Verse 2 - the WHY The prosperity of the wicked is fleeting, and evil brings its own terrible consequences.   Verse 3 - the HOW Trust God, do good, dwell in the land, and befriend faithfulness. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ICE BREAKER: Jeremy shared some observations about "unfairness" that children make. What are some things you've observed that are "unfair" in a similar way? David composes this psalm to address the challenge that followers of God face when they watch people who seem to profit from wickedness. What does "profitable wickedness" look like today? David writes about how the tools of the wicked will be turned against them. How does evil bring its own terrible consequences? What might this look like? Instead of repaying evil with evil, David encourages us to trust God, do good, dwell in the land, and befriend faithfulness. What do you think is intended by the phrase "dwell in the land"? Do these seem like adequate responses to egregious injustice and wickedness? Jeremy contrasted two responses to perceived injustice - that of the United Healthcare shooter and that of MLK Jr. and the civil rights movement. Which sort of response do you see our culture moving more towards? Which response do you see Christians moving toward? How can we make sure we respond in the way David instructs in Psalm 37?

In this segment, Mark is joined by John Coffman who is with the Consumers Council of Missouri. He discusses a public hearing just held this afternoon at Sunset Hills City Hall over Ameren's latest rate hike request and more.

PSALM 35 1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. 2 Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid. 3 Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation." 4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. 5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; 6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. 7 Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, 8 may ruin overtake them by surprise—may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. 9 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. 10 My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, O Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.” 11 Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about. 12 They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved. 13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered, 14 I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother. 15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; attackers gathered against me when I was unaware. They slandered me without ceasing. 16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked; they gnashed their teeth at me. 17 How long, Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my precious life from these lions. 18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you. 19 Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; let not those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye. 20 They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land. 21 They gape at me and say, “Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it." 22 O Lord, you have seen this; be not silent. Do not be far from me, Lord. 23 Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord. 24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God; do not let them gloat over me. 25 Do not let them think, “Aha, just what we wanted!” or say, “We have swallowed him up.” 26 May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace. 27 May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant.” 28 My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long. FROM THE LESSON Schadenfreude - it is a German word that literally means "harm-joy" and has come to mean "the pleasure that is derived from another's misfortune." Imprecatory Psalms - to imprecate is a word that means to utter a curse against someone or something. The imprecatory psalms are psalms which call for God's judgment to fall down on the wicked. Of the 150 psalms in our Bible, anywhere between 14-28 of them are put in this category of imprecatory psalms. Three Things to Know about Imprecatory Psalms: 1 Complaint is a good and necessary thing. 2 Cursing is God's right response to sin and disobedience. 3 Cursing becomes blessing at the cross. Three Responses to Reading Psalm 35: 1 We agree with David that cursing is God's right response to sin and disobedience. 2 We admit that cursing is God's right response to my sin and disobedience. 3 We allow this reality to motivate us to tell others about the cross of Jesus Christ.  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1 One of the primary things David is wrestling with in this psalm is schadenfreude. Read verses 15-16, 19, 24, and 26. People were rejoicing over his misfortune. How have you seen or experienced this in your life?  2 Read verses 17 and 22. Biblical complaint is communicating with God about the tension created between what we know about God's character and how we feel about our circumstances. Talk about Biblical complaint with your group. 3 Read verses 4-6 and 26-27. How do you hear these words of cursing from David? Have you ever felt like this toward anyone else? Does knowing that cursing is God's right response to sin and disobedience help you to better understand his words? 4 Read Galatians 3:13-14. Cursing becomes blessing at the cross. Discuss this gospel reality with your group.  5 Read over the three responses to reading Psalm 35 that are listed in the section above. Which one of these responses did you connect with the most this morning?

PSALM 34 1 I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. 2 My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. 3 Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. 6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. 8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. 9 Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. 11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, 13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. 14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; 16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 19 A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; 20 he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. 21 Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. 22 The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him. FROM THE LESSON The Story Behind the Psalm: you can read about the historical context of this psalm in 1 Samuel 21:10-15. Two Kinds of Fear: David deals with two very different kinds of fear in this psalm. First, there is the fear addressed in verse 4 which scholars refer to as "mortal fear." It is a very negative kind of fear. It is synonymous with dread and terror. It is an intense, irrational kind of fear that comes from trouble. Second, there is the fear addresses in verses 7 and 9 which scholars refer to as "saving fear." It is an extremely positive kind of fear. It is a humble, relational kind of fear that comes from trust.  Four Parts of Psalm 34: Words of Introduction (verses 1-3) Words of Illustration (verses 4-7) Words of Invitation (verses 8-10) Words of Instruction (verses 11-22) Worship is a Choice: it must be a conscious decision made beforehand that no matter what the circumstances I am going to choose to worship God. Process of Praying through Unhealthy Fear: Seek the Lord in prayer - Trust that the Lord hears and answers your prayer - Know that the Lord delivers and saves His people DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1 Do you have a go-to worship song when you are struggling with fear, anxiety or worry? How have you made worship a choice in your life?  2 Read verses 4-6 in this psalm. David shares a prayer process twice in these verses for emphasis. How have you seen this process in your own life? 3 One of the most well-known verses in all of Scripture is Psalm 34:8, "Taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed are all who trust in Him." How has this verse ministered to you in your life? Is the Lord inviting you to something more in your relationship with Him?  4 Was the discussion of the two different kinds of fear helpful for you this morning? In what ways? How have you experienced the mortal fear of verse 4? How have you experienced the saving fear of verses 7 and 9?
