June 9th, 2025Shawn, Justin and "Other Justin" dive verse by verse into Matthew Chapter 2

Psalm 90 - Speaker: Josh Roland - Psalm 90 reminds us that while God is our eternal home and refuge, sin has shattered that reality, bringing pain, wrath, and death. Moses, writing from a life of wilderness and exile, proclaims that God alone is our lasting dwelling—from everlasting to everlasting. Yet, because of sin, we face death, judgment, and separation. This Psalm confronts us with the sobering truth: all our days are under God's wrath because our sins are exposed before Him. However, the wise will respond not with defiance, but with humility—crying out for mercy and love. Moses prays for wisdom to number our days, for joy to match our suffering, and for God's favor to make our work matter. Ultimately, Psalm 90 points us to Jesus—the only one who fully knew God's wrath and bore it for us. In Christ, we are brought home. He became flesh, dwelt among us, and made a way for eternal belonging with God. Jesus isn't just the one who leads us home—He is our home. Through Him, we find mercy, joy, meaning, and eternal rest. Though life is fleeting, in Christ, our forever home is secure.

A Study of the Book of Matthew

The presence of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life is evident through wisdom, revelation, and empowerment. Yet, many followers of Jesus struggle to fully embrace the Spirit and remain open to its power and transformative work—both of which are essential for a vibrant, faith-filled life. References: "It is the same with the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Evangelical Christianity believes it, but nobody experiences it. It (the Holy Spirit) lies under the snow, forgotten. I am praying that God may be able to melt away the ice from this blessed truth, and let it spring up alive again, that the Church and the people who hear may get some good out of it and not merely say 'I believe,' while it is buried under the snow of inactivity and nonattention." - A.W. Tozer

The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The presence of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life is evident through wisdom, revelation, and empowerment. Yet, many followers of Jesus struggle to fully embrace the Spirit and remain open to its power and transformative work—both of which are essential for a vibrant, faith-filled life. References: "How many blessed truths have gotten snowed under. People believe them, but they are just not being taught, that is all. I think of our experience this morning. Here was a man and his wife, a very fine intelligent couple from another city. They named the church to which they belonged, and I instantly said, 'That is a fine church!' 'Oh, yes,' they said, 'but they don’t teach what we came over here for.' They came over because they were ill and wanted to be scripturally anointed for healing. So I got together two missionaries, two preachers, and an elder, and we anointed them and prayed for them. If you were to go to that church where they attend and say to the preacher, 'Do you believe that the Lord answers prayer and heals the sick?' he would reply, 'Sure, I do!' He believes it, but he doesn’t teach it, and what you don’t believe strongly enough to teach doesn’t do you any good. It is the same with the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Evangelical Christianity believes it, but nobody experiences it. It lies under the snow, forgotten. I am praying that God may be able to melt away the ice from this blessed truth, and let it spring up again alive, that the Church and the people who hear may get some good out of it and not merely say 'I believe' while it is buried under the snow of inactivity and nonattention. 'Lord, don’t let me be guilty of keeping the truth of the Holy Spirit’s ministry ‘buried under the snow.’ Help me to both teach and live the active presence and controlling power of the Holy Spirit today. Amen.'" - A.W. Tozer, How to be Filled with the Spirit “Everywhere I go, I find that God’s people lack something. They are hungry for something. Their Christian experience is not all that they expected.” - Billy Graham TRANSCRIPT

June 2nd, 2025Shawn, Cullan and "Other Justin" dive verse by verse into Matthew Chapter 1

Psalm 131 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - The book of Psalms is a beautifully diverse book. Some Psalms give voice to our trouble like the one we heard last week. Others are packed with adoration and thanksgiving and invite us to join in. There are Psalms that exalt the rule of our king and proclaim what loyalty to Him looks like. Then, there are even Psalms that are so filled with emotion at injustice–even anger and frustration–that they overflow to the only One who can do anything about it. Psalm 131 is in a different vein from all those. Most of it is what one author called “holy eavesdropping.” Reading this Psalm is like listening to the experiences of a person who has discovered something incredibly profound about being with the Lord, and as he does, he just can't keep it to himself. In a world that rarely stops to catch its breath, Psalm 131 whispers an invitation to our restless hearts. Charles Spurgeon said of Psalm 131 that it is “one of the shortest psalms in the Psalter, but one of the longest to learn.” In this brief Psalm we a find profound message for the hurried, noisy age we live in. In the striving and distraction and restlessness of our world and our hearts, this psalm lifts up quiet humility and calm surrender in the care of the Lord. It confronts us and it comforts us. It calls us out, and it invites us in to find our rest and peace in the care of our faithful God.

Ephesians 2:1-10

We live in a world that is broken. We pray each week “your kingdom come . . .” This simple line in our prayer is a reminder that there are still significant evidences and manifestation of the kingdom of darkness all around us. We are also somewhat distracted by one of our American virtues – “the right to the pursuit of happiness” – which has bled into a vice – my comfort.

Psalms

Jesus promises to come back—not with secret plans or end-of-the-world theories, but in full glory to set everything right. Instead of stressing about the timing or details, the focus is on who Jesus is: a fair judge and loving king. This gives us hope today, reminding us that no matter how broken or unfair life feels, Jesus will return to restore all things and bring lasting peace. References: “The only way to solve the problem of evil is for God to do what in fact he did, to take it out of the world by taking it into himself.” - Robert Capen

Scripture: Matthew 12:41-42

Segment 1 • Expository preaching is drifting toward dry, academic lectures instead of soul-stirring truth. • Modern sermons often explain grammar and context but fail to spotlight Jesus. • The goal isn't just to educate minds but to ignite hearts with the beauty of Christ. Segment 2 • Too many pulpits aim for precision but miss power—biblical preaching should pierce the heart. • Reformers preached experientially, not mechanically—90% application, 10% exegesis. • Every sermon must ask: “Does this help me love Christ more?” Segment 3 • In 1805, missionaries signed the Serampore Agreement—still reshaping missions today. • Carey called us to treasure lost souls and learn their world to reach their hearts. • If we don't understand Gen Z's language and idols, we'll fail to evangelize them. Segment 4 • Tim Challies reviews John Mark Comer's latest book—filled with mystical practices and a deficient gospel. • Comer trades “Jesus crucified” for “live like Jesus”—but behavior can't save. • When mindfulness replaces repentance, the church loses the real gospel. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!
