Don't Waste Our OpportunityText: 2 Corinthians 5:10–210. The Reality of the Judgment Seat (v. 10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.Believers' judgment is not for condemnation (Romans 8:1 makes that clear).This judgment is unto reward—the Bema Seat of Christ.Rewards will vary; greater faithfulness in following Christ will result in greater reward.This reality should fuel urgency in how we live and serve now.1. The Fear of the Lord Fuels Our Mission (v. 11)Right View of God – Most people, even believers, lack a healthy, reverent fear of God.RC Sproul: “A healthy, reverent fear of Christ's displeasure at the choices we often make is a healthy corrective.”Fear leads to wise choices – A balanced, reverential fear inspires holiness and accountability.Persuading Others – Not manipulation, but heartfelt appeal to accept the gospel.2. Why We're Here: Making Disciples (v. 11b, Col. 1:28)Our mission: Proclaim Christ, warn, and teach with wisdom.Goal: Present everyone mature in Christ.God knows our motives—half-hearted service is not hidden from Him.3. Avoid Ministry Pride (v. 12)Not about programs or showing off ministry “success.”John MacArthur: False teachers take pride in outward appearance, not sincere hearts.Our focus: advancing Christ's Kingdom, not our image.4. Willing to Be Called Crazy (v. 13–15)Paul was seen as extreme—so will we be if we truly live for Christ.The love of Christ controls us—His death changes everything.True disciples stop living for themselves and live for the One who died and rose again.Until the cross becomes personal, our lives and loyalties won't change.5. A New Way of Seeing (v. 16–17)Salvation is a total transformation—we are new creations.The old is gone; the new has come.New life means new priorities, new purpose, new mission.6. Entrusted with the Message (v. 18–19)We are reconciled to God through Christ.God has given us the ministry of reconciliation—to tell others they can be forgiven.We are message carriers with eternal news.7. Ambassadors for the King (v. 20–21)Ambassador role: We speak on Christ's behalf—eternal stakes are on the line.This is not a casual invitation—it's a divine summons to be reconciled to God.Our mission field is not just overseas—it's across the street.8. Call to ActionStop wasting time on what doesn't matter eternally.Get serious about evangelism and discipleship.Have a big vision for your church—if you don't, who will?

Fake Faith Exposed: How to Spot Spiritual CounterfeitsIn 2 Timothy 3:1–13, Paul warns about a dangerous reality in the last days—spiritual counterfeits that look godly but have no real power. Pastor John Lee explains how to recognize a counterfeit life, counterfeit religion, and counterfeit message, and points us to the only One who can transform us from the inside out: Jesus Christ.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Josh Stalnaker | Aug 10 2025God has uniquely gifted each of us with skills and abilities, not by accident, but through His intentional design and the work of His Spirit. Recognizing and discerning these gifts is part of our calling, yet pride often stands in the way—either by using our gifts for self-glorification or by holding back in fear of failure. True stewardship means using our gifts to serve others, whether in the church, in our vocations, or in everyday life, always in dependence on God and for His glory. We are called not only to know our gifts but to actively and humbly deploy them, trusting that God empowers both the gift and its impact.

In today's message, Pastor John unpacks 2 Timothy 2:23–26, where Paul gives a powerful final image of a disciple-maker: the Lord's servant. From a Roman prison, Paul calls Timothy—and us—not just to proclaim the right message, but to become the kind of person God can use.We'll explore four key marks of the servant God uses: surrendered to Jesus, slow to argue, gentle in posture, and fully dependent on God to change hearts. This is a call to trade quarrels for compassion and win souls, not just arguments.——

It's estimated that around 70% of all instances of kinship care are informal. This is significant because family members in these cases are caring for a child without official documentation. Caregivers providing informal kinship care do not receive assistance from the state, nor do they have official custody of the child. And in many cases, they cannot receive assistance from other organizations or local programs, as these resources often require official documentation of the placement.This leaves many families uncertain of where to turn for help or how to access critical resources. Our guest for this conversation understands the importance of filling this critical gap in care.Lisa Johnson is the Founder and Executive Director of Entrusted Houston, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families and children impacted by the child welfare system. She began her fostering journey in 2009 and is a proud mom to seven children, four adopted through foster care.While Entrusted Houston initially set out to support foster families, today they stand in the gap for families, children, and individuals who could otherwise not access critical resources. Among the many they serve in Houston are caseworkers, biological families, families navigating kinship care, single-parent families, refugees, trafficking victims, and veterans. They are truly embodying what it means to entrust God with their resources and offer them to anyone who seeks help.In this episode, you'll hear how this ministry evolved to include more than just foster and kinship care families, why these resources are critical to prevent a potential removal and help children return home, how to stay grounded in your mission, and much more.Find the show notes and links to anything we discussed here: riversideproject.org/lisa-johnson-40

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 3 2025 Everything we have ultimately belongs to God, and the abundance we enjoy is a reflection of His goodness and generosity. True stewardship begins with a heart of gratitude, recognizing that all we possess is not ours to own, but God's to entrust for a time. Because we won't have these resources forever, we're called to use them wisely and faithfully, not wasting what God has given, but investing it in ways that honor Him. In response to His grace, our aim should be to please God with all that we have, living not as owners, but as faithful stewards of His gifts.

In today's message, Pastor John Lee unpacks Paul's powerful metaphor of vessels in a large house — some used for honor, others for dishonor — and calls us to examine the direction of our lives. Are we living in a way that is clean, surrendered, and useful in the hands of the Master?Through three heart-searching questions, we're invited to:*Reflect on where we are spiritually*Consider who we're becoming*Learn how to remain useful in God's handsThis message is a grace-filled invitation to repentance, spiritual renewal, and purposeful discipleship — all in pursuit of becoming the kind of people God can use.——Learn more or plan your visit: www.missionlasvegas.comFollow us for more weekly encouragement and teaching.

This week, we had the privilege of hearing from Elder Eric Jones, who shared a compelling message titled “The Weight of Grace: Stewarding What God Has Entrusted to Us.” Teaching from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30, Eric reminded us that God has graciously entrusted each of us with something of eternal value: our time, gifts, resources, and influence, not to bury, but to steward faithfully in preparation for the return of the King. This parable calls us to reject fear-based living, confront faulty views of God, and step into a life of faithful, fruit-bearing work that honors the Master.

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks the challenging theological argument Paul makes in Romans 3:1-8. He begins by exploring the question, “What advantage is there to being a Jew?” Paul acknowledges the Jews' privileged status as recipients of God's oracles, the trustworthy Scriptures, and the covenant people through whom Christ would come. However, Paul also confronts objections regarding human unfaithfulness and God's righteousness. If many Jews are unfaithful, does that mean God is unfaithful? Paul emphatically denies this, asserting that God's faithfulness stands firm even when humans fail. Dr. Easley outlines four key objections Paul addresses: the significance of religion, faithfulness, righteousness, and truth. Some argue that human unrighteousness somehow glorifies God's righteousness, or that sinning more might enhance God's glory. Paul condemns such thinking as blasphemous and dangerous. The heart of the message is that God's righteousness and faithfulness are unchanging, regardless of human failure. Believers today hold the same “oracles of God” in Scripture and in Christ, entrusted with a living Word that calls for faithful response. Dr. Easley challenges listeners to cherish and live out this divine trust faithfully. Takeaways: God entrusted the Jews with His oracles, giving them great religious advantage. Human unfaithfulness never negates God's perfect faithfulness. God's righteousness remains true even when humans are unrighteous. Sinning cannot be justified as a means to glorify God—it is condemned. The gospel reveals the mystery of how God declares sinners righteous in Christ. Believers today are entrusted with the living Word of God, calling for faithful stewardship. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

What keeps you from giving up when following Jesus gets hard? In this week's sermon from 2 Timothy 2:8–13, we are challenged to endure in our calling to make disciples—even when it's costly. Through Paul's words to Timothy, we're reminded that our strength to keep going doesn't come from within, but from remembering Jesus Christ—risen from the dead, reigning as King, and faithful even when we are faithless.Whether you're weary, discouraged, or just trying to stay faithful in the everyday grind, this sermon will encourage and re-center you on the One who never fails.Learn more about Mission Church at www.missionlasvegas.com

In this captivating episode of Mythlok, we delve into the myth of Aeolus, the legendary Keeper of the Winds in Greek mythology. As the master of one of nature's most unpredictable forces, Aeolus held a unique position among gods and mortals alike. Entrusted by Zeus to control the chaotic gusts that stirred seas and skies, Aeolus became both a guardian of calm and a harbinger of storms. His story, most famously told in The Odyssey, shows just how pivotal his role was in guiding — or misguiding — the fate of mortals.Host Nitten Nair takes you through Aeolus's complex family lineage, his symbolic connection to nature, and his reimagining in modern literature, science, and media. From being labeled a “windbag” in James Joyce's Ulysses to lending his name to scientific terms like “Aeolian processes,” Aeolus continues to swirl through our collective consciousness. His children founded dynasties, his winds shaped destinies, and his mythology blurred the line between human wisdom and divine power.Whether as a mortal king, divine figure, or metaphor for humanity's struggle with the elements, Aeolus remains a powerful symbol of control, chaos, and the eternal dance between order and nature. Join us as we uncover the legend, the legacy, and the lingering questions surrounding this ancient master of the winds. This episode will leave you with a fresh perspective on how mythology still influences the world around us — from sand dunes to starlight.

In this powerful and challenging message, Pastor John unpacks the Apostle Paul's words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:1–7, reminding us that the call to follow Jesus is far more than a call to believe — it's a call to be transformed and to multiply.Too often, the modern church settles for attendance without transformation and service without surrender. But Jesus didn't say, “Believe in Me and carry on with your life.” He said, “Follow Me.” And to follow Him means to walk in obedience, to be shaped into His likeness, and to be sent out on mission.Through the vivid imagery of a soldier, an athlete, and a hardworking farmer, Paul paints a picture of the kind of endurance, discipline, and focus required for a life of faithful discipleship. Pastor John reminds us that spiritual growth takes intentional effort, and while the mission is great, we are not left to carry it in our own strength. We are to be continually strengthened by the grace found in Christ Jesus.Learn more about Mission Church at www.missionlasvegas.com

A transparent first-hand account of a Black officer maneuvering through three terrifying yet rewarding decades of policing, all while seeking reform in law enforcementWhen 16-year-old Keith Merith finds himself pulled over, berated, and degraded by a white police officer, he's outraged. He's done nothing wrong. But the officer has the power, and he doesn't. From that day on, he vows to join a police service and effect change from within.Twelve years and a multitude of infuriating applications later, Merith is finally hired by York Regional Police. Subjected to unfair treatment and constant microaggressions, he perseveres and gradually rises through the ranks, his goal of systemic change carrying him through. After a stellar career, Merith retires at the rank of superintendent, but his desire for sustained and equitable reform is stronger than ever.In A Darker Shade of Blue: A Police Officer's Memoir (ECW Press, 2024), Merith shares both his gut-wrenching and heart-warming experiences and advocates for immediate police reform in a balanced and level-headed manner. He praises the people in blue, but he also knows on a visceral level that there are deep issues that need to be rectified — starting with recruitment. He knows that law enforcement agencies should reflect the communities they serve and protect, and that all citizens should be treated equally. Entrusted with the duty to serve, Merith delivers an evocative perspective of policing by providing the opportunity to walk in his shoes, as a Black man, and as a police officer on the front lines.

What does it look like to follow Jesus with boldness in a world that pressures you to stay silent? In this message, Pastor John calls us to a deeper kind of faith—one that endures hardship, speaks truth with love, and refuses to settle for a safe Christianity.If you've ever felt afraid, tired, or tempted to pull back, this sermon will remind you of the power, hope, and calling you've been given.Learn more about Mission Church at www.missionlasvegas.com

In this week's sermon from our series Entrusted, we dive into 2 Timothy 1:1–7, where the Apostle Paul writes to a weary and discouraged Timothy from a Roman prison. Paul's call? “Rekindle the gift of God that is in you.” It's a deeply personal, pastoral reminder that speaks not just to Timothy, but to all of us who've felt the fire of faith flicker under the weight of fear, fatigue, or discouragement.This is a call for all believers—not just pastors or leaders. Whether you feel like your passion is burning bright or barely a flicker, God meets you not with shame, but with grace—and invites you to stir up the flame of faith through His Spirit.Mission Church www.missionlasvegas.com

This week we start our summer series in Timothy and Titus. This first week we look at how the early leaders in the church were entrusted with the calling God had on their life and how believers today ought to live in the same way as we too are entrusted.

In Galatians 2, the Apostle Paul fights to ensure that the gospel isn't lost, distorted, or withheld. This message explores how the good news of Jesus isn't just for us—it's meant to go through us, reaching those who haven't yet heard. Just like a package that never reaches its destination, an undelivered gospel can't change lives. Paul reminds us that we're not just recipients of grace—we're the delivery team.   Title: Entrusted Text: Galatians 2:1-10 Speaker: Josh Branham

LESSON 166 I Am Entrusted With The Gifts Of God.All things are given you. God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His Son. He gives without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet, unless your will is one with His, His gifts are not received. But what would make you think there is another will than His?Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must still believe there is another will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He wills. Impossible indeed; but every mind that looks upon the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy and true believes in two creators; or in one, himself alone. But never in one God.The gifts of God are not acceptable to anyone who holds such strange beliefs. He must believe that to accept God's gifts, however evident they may become, however urgently he may be called to claim them as his own, is to be pressed to treachery against himself. He must deny their presence, contradict the truth, and suffer to preserve the world he made.Here is the only home he thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he believes that he can find. Without the world he made is he an outcast; homeless and afraid. He does not realize that it is here he is afraid indeed, and homeless, too; an outcast wandering so far from home, so long away, he does not realize he has forgotten where he came from, where he goes, and even who he really is.Yet in his lonely, senseless wanderings, God's gifts go with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he will not look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the futility he sees about him everywhere, perceiving how his little lot but dwindles, as he goes ahead to nowhere. Still he wanders on in misery and poverty, alone though God is with him, and a treasure his so great that everything the world contains is valueless before its magnitude.He seems a sorry figure; weary, worn, in threadbare clothing, and with feet that bleed a little from the rocky road he walks. No one but has identified with him, for everyone who comes here has pursued the path he follows, and has felt defeat and hopelessness as he is feeling them. Yet is he really tragic, when you see that he is following the way he chose, and need but realize Who walks with him and open up his treasures to be free?This is your chosen self, the one you made as a replacement for reality. This is the self you savagely defend against all reason, every evidence, and all the witnesses with proof to show this is not you. You heed them not. You go on your appointed way, with eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth, and be released from self-deception and set free.You cower fearfully lest you should feel Christ's touch upon your shoulder, and perceive His gentle hand directing you to look upon your gifts. How could you then proclaim your poverty in exile? He would make you laugh at this perception of yourself. Where is self-pity then? And what becomes of all the tragedy you sought to make for him whom God intended only joy?Your ancient fear has come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at last. Christ's hand has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. You even think the miserable self you thought was you may not be your Identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. Perhaps He has not wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion, and go the way you chose without your Self.God's Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned in your plan to lose your Self. He does not know about a plan so alien to His Will. There was a need He did not understand, to which He gave an Answer. That is all. And you who have this Answer given you have need no more of anything but This.Now do we live, for now we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the sight that looked upon it now has been replaced by vision which perceives that you are not what you pretend to be. One walks with you Who gently answers all your fears with this one merciful reply, “It is not so.” He points to all the gifts you have each time the thought of poverty oppresses you, and speaks of His Companionship when you perceive yourself as lonely and afraid.Yet He reminds you still of one thing more you had forgotten. For His touch on you has made you like Himself. The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has come to offer you, you now must learn to give. This is the lesson that His giving holds, for He has saved you from the solitude you sought to make in which to hide from God. He has reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your will when you accept these gifts, and recognize they are your own.The gifts are yours, entrusted to your care, to give to all who chose the lonely road you have escaped. They do not understand they but pursue their wishes. It is you who teach them now. For you have learned of Christ there is another way for them to walk. Teach them by showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel the touch of Christ, and recognize God's gifts. Let sorrow not tempt you to be unfaithful to your trust.Your sighs will now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release. Your tears are theirs. If you are sick, you but withhold their healing. What you fear but teaches them their fears are justified. Your hand becomes the giver of Christ's touch; your change of mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer anything. You are entrusted with the world's release from pain.Betray it not. Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts, and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the world.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

God's Word isn't just meant to grow in us—it's meant to move through us. It's alive, enduring, and expanding. In this episode, we explore how we can be part of that multiplication. Scriptures: Acts 12:20-24

James 4:13-17

In Acts 11, we see God at work through His scattered followers, spreading the gospel beyond Jewish boundaries. As the gathered crowd in Antioch forms, God brings together a diverse community, united by faith in Jesus. Through unexpected messengers and Spirit-led moments, the early church grows—multicultural, mission-minded, and marked by grace. Scriptures: Acts 11

Scripture References: John 4, 8; Mark 1, 5; Luke 8, 10, 13; Matt 26, 28; John 20; Esther 4:16; Ruth 1:16-17; 1 Kings 17:8-16; 1 Sam 1:27-28; John 11:28-35; Judges 4:14, Judges 5; Prov 31.Sermon: Honoring Mothers & Godly WomenIntro: Happy Mother's Day! We celebrate moms and spiritual mothers, acknowledging the joy and the aches holidays can bring (loss, struggle, longing). Jesus meets each of you in your unique story. He knows what you need. Jesus deeply loved His own mother and all women, treating them with radical dignity, respect, and compassion—truly countercultural for His time.Key Points:Jesus' Radical View of Women:Spoke respectfully to them (Samaritan woman, John 4; woman caught in adultery, John 8).Healed them publicly (Peter's mother-in-law, Mark 1; woman with issue of blood, Mark 5; bent-over woman, Luke 13).Affirmed their faith & worth. Many women followed & financially supported His ministry (Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna - Luke 8). Mary of Bethany learned at His feet (Luke 10).Entrusted women as first witnesses of His resurrection (Matt 28, John 20).These women, freed from shame, became deeply devoted, bold partners in His mission.Celebrating Women in Our Church Family – Echoes of Biblical Strength:Mary of Bethany (Matt 26): Extravagant worshippers, pouring out your most valuable for Jesus. Like her, Radiant women, you've done beautiful things for Him.Miriam (Exodus 15): Leading in worship, singing songs of deliverance, reminding us God brings us to dry land.Esther (Esther 4:16): Courageous, sticking your necks out for others' freedom and safety, saying "If I perish, I perish."Ruth (Ruth 1:16-17): Faithful, loyal, obedient, choosing right relationship over comfort, loving for the long haul: "Where you go, I will go."Widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17): Hospitality in scarcity, giving generously from little, trusting God's miraculous provision.Lydia (Acts 16): Businesswomen and those with abundance, leveraging success and resources for God's Kingdom.Hannah (1 Sam 1:27-28): Prayer warriors, contending earnestly, prevailing on God, and lending your answered prayers back to Him.Mary at Lazarus' Tomb (John 11:28-35): Raw faith in grief, falling at Jesus' feet, finding Him as the God who weeps with us & brings comfort.Deborah (Judges 4-5): Strong leaders with prophetic wisdom, inspiring victory ("Up! For this is the day..."), and partnering beautifully, calling men and women higher in God.Conclusion: Radiant women, for 20 years (and all women of faith), you've chosen the better thing.
