Every human being is entrusted with some level of authority, yet we frequently distort this gift by judging others based on our own feelings and preferences. Until God finally arises to "judge the earth," we are called to judge justly, and Psalm 82 shows us how. In this sermon, we explore what it means to do justice in the world.

Your front desk didn't sign up to be an insurance department. So why are they buried in one? Kendall sits down with Louis Chan and Vere Whittome, co-founders of Kaylie AI, to break down the walls between insurance verification, treatment coordination, and claims management. Louis explains how five-star doctors at his old oral surgery group kept getting one-star reviews, why most practices react to problems instead of catching them early, and how every denied claim carries a lesson. They also get honest about where AI still falls short and why teams end up chasing a 5% problem with 80% of their time. If you've ever wondered where your front desk's time is really going, this one will change how you see it.   Connect with Kaylie.ai:

Our daily lives are full of habits and routines that shape who we are becoming. To say it another way: we are liturgical creatures. Some of our life patterns are good; others aren't. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 81's invitation to build a better life liturgy: one that sings to God, tells His story, and submits to His authority.

Historical background: the kingdom and events unfolding in the book of Esther pick up roughly where the contemporary events of the book of Daniel had left off. The timeline of Kings and consequences coinciding with Israel's exile and return are relevant to the context of Esther. Nebuchadnezzar had conquered Jerusalem in 605 BC leading Daniel and others captive to the city of Babylon. The next king, Belshazzar, lost his throne immediately upon the prophecy of Daniel to the Persians who expanded the empire. Kings to follow included Cyrus, who allowed the Jews to return & rebuild Jerusalem after 70 years of exile, Darius another king under whom Daniel served, and the son of Darius, Xerxes or Ahasuerus as he is identified in the book of Esther. The Persian empire would continue for several kings following Ahasuerus until it fell to Alexander the Great around 330 BC.

What happens when the laws governing your practice change every few months, and you find out the hard way? Emmett Scott sits down with Eric Scalzo and John Saran, partners at Holland & Knight, to break down the wave of new state regulations reshaping dental practice growth in 2026. They walk through the recent California settlement making headlines, why non-competes and ownership disclosures are under new scrutiny, and how practices in Indiana secured their own exemption simply by showing up during the legislative process. The takeaway: the practices protecting themselves right now aren't panicking, they're paying attention. This one's essential listening before your next hire, partnership, or transaction.   Learn more about Holland & Knight's work in the dental space

Every human being understands the longing to be seen. As Curt Thompson says, “We are all born into this world looking for someone looking for us.” In this sermon, we explore Psalm 80 and its plea to God: "let your face shine that we may be saved." We discover how longing for God's face to shine upon us finds its perfect, saving resolution in the ultimate Shepherd and True Vine, Jesus Christ.

In the providence of God, the recurring challenge of heretical ideas infecting the understanding of the early church set the stage for outlining nonnegotiable Christian teaching.  When Paul addresses the doctrine of resurrection in this chapter, he is providing another example of gospel teaching essential to salvation provided the Corinthians, along with the church of all ages, would hold fast to this truth (1-2).  Paul's own call to ministry hinged on this very reality.  It was the resurrected Christ Jesus Himself who confronted him personally & powerfully in (Acts 9:1-5). Paul was persecuting the first generation of Christians commissioned by Jesus. Now he speaks as one of them having encountered the glory and authority of Jesus Christ exalted & enthroned, Not only did Paul know the resurrection of Jesus Christ to be absolutely true, but he also understood and proclaimed it to be absolutely essential.

39 And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.Exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis, abiit in montana cum festinatione, in civitatem Juda : 40 And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.et intravit in domum Zachariae, et salutavit Elisabeth. 41 And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus : et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth : 42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit : Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me? 44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. 45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.Et beata, quae credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino. 46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.Et ait Maria : Magnificat anima mea Dominum : 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.

One of the biggest problems in the world is the problem of "us" versus "them". Our human tendency is to respond to injustice by seeking retribution against our enemies. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 79, written after enemies had destroyed Jerusalem. The Psalm shows us how shifting our gaze from “them” to “us” to "you, O God" empowers us to seek justice while also loving our enemies.

How can we run to the name of the Lord as our strong tower? While the first 8 verses of Proverbs 18 primarily identify and refute enemies of wisdom inspiring towers of Babel, verses 9-18 direct us toward the true source of refuge established according to the character and renown of the Lord.  When counsel gleaned from the written Word of God is consistently applied, we ground our lives on the foundation and framework of the only name sufficient for all of life now and forever.  So let us run to the Lord's tower following the path of wisdom.

1 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos : Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur : neque absconditum, quod non sciatur. 3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.Quoniam quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur : et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis. 4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.Dico autem vobis amicis meis : Ne terreamini ab his qui occidunt corpus, et post haec non habent amplius quid faciant. 5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis : timete eum qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam : ita dico vobis, hunc timete. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?Nonne quinque passeres veneunt dipondio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo? 7 Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere : multis passeribus pluris estis vos. 8 And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.Dico autem vobis : Omnis quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram angelis Dei :These two brothers were officers under Constantius. After the death of this Christian Emperor, they became martyrs at Rome in the persecution of Julian the Apostate, A.D. 362.

What if growing from one office to ten was never really about the locations at all? Dr. Ronald Taylor sits down with Kendall Hussein to share how he built Trident Endo Dental into a multi-state endodontic group, and why none of it would have worked without putting people first. Ron opens up about a ransomware attack, hiring the wrong people more than once, and the moment he realized his job wasn't running practices. It was building a culture his team wanted to stay in. He breaks down what servant leadership looks like day to day, and why he now measures success by the relationships he's built, not the number of offices on a map.

It's easy to present a curated version of our lives. We often go through the motions, aiming our devotion at worldly idols and missing the profound grace given to those who stop pretending. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 78 and how being ruthlessly realistic about our hearts and lives is the only way to experience the relentless mercy and transforming grace of God.

Taking verse 10 as an organizing analogy for Proverbs 18, this chapter presents a ‘tale of two towers' in wisdom literature terms.  Will the foundation and framework of our lives be built on the attributes of God, or upon the shifting sands of foolishness? The answer hinges on the object of our soul's attention.  Is it the character and renown, that is the NAME, of the Lord that we build our lives upon, or is our priority concern our own name?  There was an ancient tower built by a wicked generation seeking to make themselves a name rather than finding refuge in the Lord.  It didn't go so well for them (Gen 11).  Heeding Prov 18 will keep us from making the same mistake.

What if your biggest profitability opportunity isn't a new patient or a new location, but the revenue you've already earned and never fully collected?   Kendall Hussein sits down with Shreyas Parab, who grew up running every job in his mom's small dental practice in Philadelphia before founding Daydream, one of the most AI-driven RCM companies in dental today. Shreyas breaks down why collections actually drop as practices scale, why a 99% collection rate can still mean you're 45 days from your money, and what it costs when your office manager is on hold with MetLife instead of filling chairs. He walks through how Daydream's AI-powered billing team helped DEO member Beam Dental recover $36,626 in just 76 days.  

Every human being has troubles. And sometimes our troubles overwhelm us. We live in a culture that encourages us to turn inward and endlessly process our troubles, yet this self-focused rumination often distorts our theology and leaves us doubting God's goodness. In this sermon, we look at how Psalm 77 calls God's people to shift their gaze from their own internal pain to God's steady faithfulness.

The Psalms, as summarized by the closing song in each of the first 4 book divisions in the Psalter, present Messiah Prayers in two senses.  First: they serve as prayers of petition for the Messiah to come. Secondly, they function as prayers of intercession for the Messiah to pray on behalf of His people.  The great high priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17 corresponds to the prayer requests of the Psalter echoing the prophetic cries of longing with the proclamation of fulfillment that He secures in His redemptive ministry. Finally, history's greatest hymnal closes with a cosmic call to worship as the only fitting response to the mercy and majesty of God commemorated from song one to one hundred and fifty in the Psalms.

What does it mean to live Coram Deo? In this episode of Take Heart, Corey Wing explores the rich Reformed concept of Coram Deo—living every moment of life before the face of God. Far more than a theological phrase, Coram Deo reminds Christians that every thought, word, and action takes place in God's presence, under His authority, and for His glory. Whether at work, at home, in worship, or in private moments no one else sees, believers are called to live with joyful awareness of God's nearness and sovereignty. Discover how this forgotten truth can transform your worship, strengthen your integrity, and deepen your walk with Christ.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Whether we admit it or not, every human being is prone to fear. We often let the fear of what others think or of what we might lose shape our decisions and responses. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 76 and how cultivating a right fear of God is the only way to stop fearing everything else.

Acts 7 records a Gospel sermon proclaimed to Paul before he was born again.  Paul, approving of Stephen's execution, would have been aware of this testimony. Sometime later, Paul is brought to repentance and faith by the sovereign grace of God & now we read his own Gospel sermon preached to the church in Corinth in I Corinthians 15.
     I Cor 15:1-3 provides an outline for the remainder of the chapter.  Each section following this introduction contains increasingly detailed content. The Gospel that Paul preached and upon which the Church stands is summarized in verses 3-11. Verses 12-34 expound the resurrection as a theological nonnegotiable… the resurrection is essential doctrine to Christianity. To deny it is to deny the faith, rendering everything else you happen to profess meaningless, futile, vain, & useless. Finally, verses 35–58 address frequently asked questions about eternal life answering them with a profound and glorious explanation according to the scriptures proclaimed, fulfilled, and applied.

What if patients aren't saying no to treatment, but saying no to how you're asked to pay? Jordin McEntire sits down with Luke Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer at HFD, to break down what's really happening when patients leave without scheduling. Luke's family bought HFD in 2017, not as bankers, but as entrepreneurs who saw a gap most lenders weren't willing to close. They spent the next 17 years building data on the patients every financing company turns away, and what came out of that is a 99% approval rate the industry hadn't seen before. Luke explains why most financing platforms are built to deny rather than approve, what that does to your treatment coordinators' confidence, and how knowing nearly everyone can qualify changes the way you market and present care.

Whether it be graduation, tax day, or an important holiday, human beings intuitively understand what it means to live in light of a coming date on the calendar. In Psalm 75, God declares that he has appointed a day when he will judge with equity. In this sermon, we explore how living backward from the certainty of Judgment Day sets us free to walk in humility and hope.

What is our relationship to the body of Christ, the Church? How are we to love one another? What is the greatest way to serve Christ?

Isabel alaba a la Virgen María porque ha creído. Pero Ella orienta esa alabanza con el canto del Magníficat diciendo que toda la gloria es para Dios. La criatura espiritual, ángeles y hombres, tenemos como primer deber la glorificación de nuestro Creador. Deo omnis Gloria! Otra actitud sería robo sacrílego. El Padre celestial recompensa lo que está en lo oculto. No vaya a ser que estemos cosiendo con una aguja sin hilo: al final, no queda nada.

What if the single biggest money mistake you're making has nothing to do with marketing, overhead, or your fee schedule? Emmett Scott sits down with Dr. Brett Wells, CEO of Loren Dental Partners, who built nine locations — eight of them de novo startups — and spent six years grinding solo while leaving a fortune on the table. Brett shares why he waited way too long to bring in a second doctor, how that one decision took a single practice from $2M to $6M a year, and why two doctors in one location will always make more money than two separate practices. He also opens up about building and selling Dental HQ, a half-million dollar hot dog restaurant that almost made it to Shark Tank, and the communication lesson that changed how he leads.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.nemo potest venire ad me, nisi Pater, qui misit me, traxerit eum; et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die. 45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.Est scriptum in prophetis : Et erunt omnes docibiles Dei. Omnis qui audivit a Patre, et didicit, venit ad me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.Non quia Patrem vidit quisquam, nisi is, qui est a Deo, hic vidit Patrem. 47 Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.Amen, amen dico vobis : qui credit in me, habet vitam aeternam. 48 I am the bread of life.Ego sum panis vitae. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.Hic est panis de caelo descendens : ut si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non moriatur. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven.Ego sum panis vivus, qui de caelo descendi. 52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane, vivet in aeternum : et panis quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita.[44] "Draw him": Not by compulsion, nor by laying the free will under any necessity, but by the strong and sweet motions of his heavenly grace.

16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret : ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum. 18 He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.Qui credit in eum, non judicatur; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est : quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei. 19 And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.Hoc est autem judicium : quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem : erant enim eorum mala opera. 20 For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus : 21 But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.[18] "Is not judged": He that believeth, viz., by a faith working through charity, is not judged, that is, is not condemned; but the obstinate unbeliever is judged, that is, condemned already, by retrenching himself from the society of Christ and his church.[19] "The judgment": That is, the cause of his comdemnation.[21] "He that doth truth": that is, he that acteth according to truth, which here signifies the Law of God. Thy law is truth. Psa. 118. 142.

Every human being wants a framework for a good life, often reducing faith to simply being a moral person, holding the right beliefs, or belonging to a community. But when our willpower fails or our doubts creep in, these superficial definitions leave us exhausted. The gospel subverts our striving by inviting us into a deeply personal union with Christ, where our old, corrupted self is crucified so that the living God can take up residence within us. In this sermon, we explore Galatians 2:20 and what it means for Christianity to be personal.

According to Proverbs 25:4 “Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel”. According to Proverbs 17:3 “The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the LORD tests hearts.”  Taking these references together we can extend and apply the analogy of precious metal refining to the sanctification process of our hearts and lives. Analyzing Proverbs 17 with this illustration in mind, Solomon reveals categories of dross that godly wisdom teaches us to recognize and remove

What if every conversation in your operatory is already telling you where your production is leaking...and you just can't hear it?   In this episode, Jordin McEntire sits down with Danny Bessonov, CEO and co-founder of Avora, to break down why most dental groups are flying blind on case presentation, team performance, and patient experience. Danny shares how ambient AI turns every appointment into real-time coaching data, giving operators visibility into conversations they'd otherwise never hear, and a scorecard for every role that touches the patient. He walks through why case acceptance is a systems problem and not a people problem, and Jordin shares a live result from a DEO member using Avora: case acceptance went from 40% to 78% — with fewer staff than the quarter before.  

Familiarity with Jesus is not the same thing as following Jesus. Human beings love what is familiar. But familiarity can lead to complacency and apathy. The people of Jesus' hometown missed the miraculous power of God because they couldn't see past the ordinary carpenter they grew up with. In this sermon, we examine three ways to reject Jesus and what it means to actually receive his gracious authority.

Prov. 25:4-5 expounds & applies the analogy of pure metals vs. dross. Another example in Proverbs utilizing similar picture language to Prov. 17:3. When the heart is tested by the refining fires of life, the process is designed to remove some elements and refine others.  When the heat is turned up, the difference between precious metals and dross or impurities becomes increasingly apparent.  The book of Proverbs serves as a literary version of this process.  Solomon turns up the heat of truth and when his words are taken to heart, the contrast between folly and righteousness is magnified.

 26 But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.Cum autem venerit Paraclitus, quem ego mittam vobis a Patre, Spiritum veritatis, qui a Patre procedit, ille testimonium perhibebit de me; 27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.et vos testimonium perhibebitis, quia ab initio mecum estis.1 These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.Haec locutus sum vobis, ut non scandalizemini. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.Absque synagogis facient vos : sed venit hora, ut omnis qui interficit vos arbitretur obsequium se praestare Deo. 3 And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.Et haec facient vobis, quia non noverunt Patrem, neque me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.Sed haec locutus sum vobis, ut cum venerit hora eorum, reminiscamini quia ego dixi vobis.[26] "Whom I will send": This proves, against the modern Greeks, that the Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Son, as well as from the Father: otherwise he could not be sent by the Son.

What if the thing that finally pulled you out of the chair wasn't a plan, but a crisis? Emmett Scott sits down with Dr. Alex and Bobby, co-founders of Halex Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, a 15-location pediatric dental and orthodontics group they've built together over nearly two decades in coastal Virginia. Bobby spent years as the lead producer while Alex ran the business. Then a sudden open heart surgery forced him out of the chair for three months, and the practice kept growing without him. That moment changed everything. They open up about rebuilding after bad partnerships and financial setbacks, why chasing revenue instead of profit is a trap, what it really looks like to hire people smarter than yourself, and how building a team bigger than any one person is what finally unlocked real growth.

Every human being is a disciple or a learner, constantly shaped and trained by the culture around us — from the algorithms on our phones to the expectations of our family of origin or careers. True discipleship, however, requires actively submitting ourselves to the training of Jesus, allowing him to shape our understanding so we can bring out the treasure of his truth to a hungry world. In this sermon, we explore what it means to be a disciple who understands, trains, and shares the ancient and new promises of the gospel.

Working through history's greatest hymnal one Psalm at a time, we may not realize or remember the bigger picture of how the collection is organized. Mirroring the Books of Moses, the psalter is also a 'Pentateuch'. The psalms are arranged in five books beginning with songs 1 through 41, followed by book two: 42-72, book three: 73-89, book four: 90-106, and finally book five: 107-150. Each final song of books 1-4 closes with a doxology verse proclaiming: "Blessed be the Lord..." Finally the crescendo and universal call to worship is proclaimed in the final Psalm (150:6) "..Let everything that has breath. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! closing book 5. In our overview messages on the Psalter, let us consider closing themes from each set of songs and the big picture message they proclaim summarizing history's greatest hymnal. (Today we consider the first 2 examples. These will be followed in our next Psalm sermon with the same headings and 3 further points: COVENANTAL, INTERCESSION, EXILE INTERCESSION, AND WORSHIP

23 And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.Et in illo die me non rogabitis quidquam. Amen, amen dico vobis : si quid petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, dabit vobis. 24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.Usque modo non petistis quidquam in nomine meo : petite, et accipietis, ut gaudium vestrum sit plenum. 25 These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.Haec in proverbiis locutus sum vobis. Venit hora cum jam non in proverbiis loquar vobis, sed palam de Patre annuntiabo vobis : 26 In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:in illo die in nomine meo petetis : et non dico vobis quia ego rogabo Patrem de vobis : 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.ipse enim Pater amat vos, quia vos me amastis, et credidistis, quia ego a Deo exivi. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.Exivi a Patre, et veni in mundum : iterum relinquo mundum, et vado ad Patrem. 29 His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.Dicunt ei discipuli ejus : Ecce nunc palam loqueris, et proverbium nullum dicis : 30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.nunc scimus quia scis omnia, et non opus est tibi ut quis te interroget : in hoc credimus quia a Deo existi.Let us ask God, from whom all good things come, by the merits of Jesus our Redeemer, spiritual and temporal graces.

What if you had to sell your dental practice tomorrow? Would it be worth what you think it is? In this episode, Brannon Moncrief, Principal and CEO of McLerran & Associates, pulls back the curtain on what dental practice buyers are actually looking for right now and why so many owners are unknowingly setting themselves up for a disappointing exit. With 35 years in the industry and roughly 400 practice evaluations a year, Brannon has seen it all...the clean, the messy, and everything in between.

1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.Erat autem homo ex pharisaeis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Judaeorum. 2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei : Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest haec signa facere, quae tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo. 3 Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei. 4 Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born again?Dicit ad eum Nicodemus : Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suae iterato introire et renasci? 5 Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.Respondit Jesus : Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei. 6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.Quod natum est ex carne, caro est : et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est. 7 Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.Non mireris quia dixi tibi : oportet vos nasci denuo. 8 The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat : sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu. 9 Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei : Quomodo possunt haec fieri? 10 Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Tu es magister in Israel, et haec ignoras? 11 Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis. 12 If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis : quomodo, si dixero vobis caelestia, credetis? 13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.Et nemo ascendit in caelum, nisi qui descendit de caelo, Filius hominis, qui est in caelo. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis : 15 That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam.[5] "Unless a man be born again": By these words our Saviour hath declared the necessity of baptism; and by the word water it is evident that the application of it is necessary with the words. Matt. 28. 19.After the victory gained by Constantine by virtue of the cross which appeared to him in the skies, and whose sign he reproduced in the Labarum, St Helena, his mother, went to Jerusalem to try to find the true Cross. At the beginning of the second century, Hadrian had covered Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre under of terrace of 300 feet in length, on which had been erected a statue of Jupiter and and temple of Venus. The Empress razed them to the ground, and, in digging up the soil, they discovered the nails and the glorious trophy of which we owe "life salvation and resurrection". The miraculous cure of a woman authenticated the sacred tree.

Being in the church is not the same thing as being in God's kingdom. Everyone sorts. Whether it's laundry, your recycling, or the people you spend time with, most of us have a deep-rooted instinct to sort the things in our lives. Through the parable of the net, Jesus warns that this period of grace will eventually give way to a final sorting. In this sermon, we explore the importance of responding to Jesus' kingdom invitation while there is still time.

In the 14th & 15th chapters of his epistle to Corinth, Paul outlines aims of Gospel ministry for the church age.  When the unbeliever witnesses the testimony of the Christian community, how should our message resonate?  As the Holy Spirit is pleased to activate it, the content and presentation of our gospel message should inspire repentance and faith in the hearts of our pagan neighbors and exhortation unto holiness in the lives of disciples.  Let us testify & preach in such a way as to inspire conviction of sin, command submission to the Gospel, and implement applications of church order best serving these primary goals of Christian ministry.  Having covered conviction and submission, we close with applications from chapter 14.

The kingdom of heaven is irresistible to those who find it. We all seek something — a career, a relationship, or status — that makes life's sacrifices feel worthwhile and brings us joy. But when we glimpse the incomparable value of Jesus, "selling everything" no longer feels like a sacrifice; it becomes irresistible. In this sermon, we examine the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price, and the irresistible joy found in Christ and his kingdom.

Verse three of our chapter presents a conceptual context for the virtues promoted in Biblical wisdom literature, including the immediate blessings and character traits endorsed by Solomon in Proverbs 17.  Testing, tempering, & purifying are in view here as uses for heat in processing precious metals.  This analogy serves well to illustrate the design and redemptive purpose of life's trials, difficulties, conflicts, hardships, suffering etc.. Carrying over the theme of divine sovereignty from chapter 16, the literary context of this verse provides a big picture perspective of divine purpose redeeming the hardships of life for the believer.  If the trials of life are the refining crucible or furnace, the character traits endorsed by Solomon in chapter 17 (as well as the entire book) are the refined treasure believers are promised as they submit to the providence of God in the challenges of life.

What if the data you need to grow your dental practice is already sitting right in front of you...you just can't see it yet? In this episode of DEO's Growth Secrets, Emmett Scott sits down with Emily Ryba, Co-Founder and CEO of OSDental, who started her career as a CPA specializing in dental and spent years watching practice owners make major decisions without the full financial picture. After building a $1 million data warehouse for a 42-location dental group, she realized there had to be a better way...and OSDental was born. You'll hear why most practice owners are only seeing 30% of their data and what's hiding in the other 70%, why the average dental practice loses 1 to 3% of revenue simply from lack of data visibility, and why your collections report might be telling you a story that isn't actually true. Emily also breaks down how data transparency changes team behavior, what untreated perio is quietly costing your practice, and why giving your team access to the right data is the fastest way to make them act like owners. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your numbers or unsure what they're actually telling you...this one will change how you see your business.

Every time we open the phones we get such excellent questions! A huge thank you to everyone who joined the Zoom and called in today—all of your questions were truly great. Today we tackled tough questions like the canon of Scripture and its relationship to epistemology as well as how believers need to view politics, voting, etc. We got calls from Ireland and Hungary as well! Went in depth in our responses as well. Remember, Rich is out of town for a bit, so we will be back, Deo volente, next week.

Jesus invites us into a life of hopeful realism. To be human is to wrestle with the presence of evil in a world we wish were different. We often feel an urgent pressure to "fix" the world by taking matters into our own hands. Yet Jesus, through the parable of the wheat and weeds, offers a path of hopeful realism. In this sermon, we explore the nature of hopeful realism as the kingdom develops from small beginnings into a global harvest.

A fruitful life comes from standing under the word of God.Every human is listening to someone or something. And how we listen to the word of God makes all the difference. In this sermon, we explore Jesus' famous Parable of the Sower, which shows what happens when the seed of the gospel lands on the soil of our hearts. In this parable, Jesus teaches that a fruitful life comes from standing under the word of God. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.
