Relationships in HD — Part 15: For the Saint and the Sinner Description: In Part 15 of Relationships in HD, Pastor Eric goes to the very foundation of every Christian relationship: whether or not we are truly children of God. Launching from the line, “For the saint and for the sinner… there's enough grace for the whole wide world,” he confronts a common assumption—that everyone is automatically God's child—and shows from Scripture that only those who believe and receive Jesus are adopted into the Father's family. From John 1 and John 8, Pastor Eric contrasts empty religion with true salvation: serving, giving, being “churchy,” even being on the membership roll is not the same thing as being born again. He shares his own story of years of doubt, “hope-so hands,” and self-righteous striving, and how the Lord finally broke through at an altar in 1987 with one simple invitation: “Just ask Me, and I will.” From that moment, the Christian life moved from fear and uncertainty to the security of a Father who never lets go. From there, this message unfolds the generous heart of God the Father. In Luke 11 and 12, Jesus teaches that if flawed human parents know how to give good gifts, how much more does our Father in heaven delight to give the Holy Spirit, daily provision, and even the kingdom itself. Pastor Eric shows how a distorted view of earthly fathers can warp our view of God—and how Scripture corrects that picture with a Father who is approachable, generous, and stable, not stingy, distant, or constantly angry. Deeply personal and thoroughly gospel-centered, this sermon calls both the religious and the rebellious to real assurance in Christ, and invites believers to live like secure sons and daughters—resting in the Father's delight, resisting the lies of the enemy, and reflecting the generosity of heaven in their everyday relationships. Key Scriptures (NKJV): John 1:11–12; John 8:44; John 3:16–17; John 10:27–29; Luke 11:9–13; Luke 12:22–34; James 1:16–18; Hebrews 4:14–16; Hebrews 12:2; Titus 1:2; 1 Peter 1:3–5. Highlights: Child of God or just religious? Why serving, giving, and being in church isn't the same as being born again. Believe and receive: Not everyone is automatically God's child—but everyone who trusts Christ is adopted, forgiven, and welcomed. Pastor Eric's testimony: From years of doubting and praying “just in case” to finally trusting that Jesus wanted him and had truly saved him. Hope-so hand vs. know-so assurance: Moving from vague wishing to confidence in God's promises. Fighting doubt: “Grab the devil by the tail” and drag him back to the cross—if God lied, He wouldn't be worth following, but He cannot lie (Titus 1:2). The Father's generosity: Every good and perfect gift comes from Him; He delights to give the Holy Spirit, daily bread, and the kingdom. “How much more?” If flawed parents give good gifts, how much more does our Father value and care for His children. You are worth more than the birds: Correcting a culture that often values animals and environment over people—God says you are of greater value. Security in the Father's hand: No one can pluck Christ's sheep out of His hand or the Father's hand (John 10:27–29). New identity, new family, new future: Adoption, inheritance, reservation in heaven, and the peace that passes understanding. Relational impact: When we know we are loved, wanted, and secure, it reshapes how we parent, mentor, and disciple others. Next Steps: If you're unsure whether you're truly a child of God, start there: read John 1:11–12 and John 3:16–18, and honestly ask, Am I trusting my goodness—or Christ's finished work? If you haven't, call on Him in faith and receive Him as your Savior. If you belong to Christ but struggle with doubt, write down John 10:27–29, Romans 8:15–16, and James 1:17–18. Pray through them this week and, whenever accusation comes, “drag it back to the cross” and rest in what God has promised, not what you feel. Then, ask the Father to help you live like His child: choose one way to reflect His generosity, patience, and delight—whether toward your kids, your spouse, or someone younger in the faith. Thank Him that there is grace enough for the saint, grace enough for the sinner, and grace enough for you.

God did not stay distant from a broken world. He entered it.In this Christmas message, John Gunter takes us through Scripture to show that love is not abstract or selective. God's love is active, consistent, and always draws near. From John 3:16 to Luke 2 and Romans 5, we are reminded that while we were still sinners, Christ came for us. And if He came that far for us, how can we not extend that same love to others?Key Takeaways:Love does not begin with us. It begins with GodReal love is not earned. It is givenJesus came for the broken, the poor, and the overlookedThe church should lead the world in loving others, even when we do not agree

On Christmas Eve, Joel invites us to consider the messy nature of Jesus becoming human and walking the dirty roads of earth alongside us. From John 1.

Christmas is often called a time of giving, but what does that truly mean for believers? In this powerful sermon, “Christmas Is a Time of Giving,” we dive into the biblical foundation of giving and discover how this season reflects the heart of God Himself. From John 3:16, where God gave His only Son out of love, to Matthew 2:11, where the wise men presented gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, giving is at the core of God's character. Every good and perfect gift comes from above (James 1:17), and through Christ, we've already received the greatest gift of all—eternal life.This message challenges you to look beyond holiday traditions and worldly distractions to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. Are we giving for love, or just following human customs? Learn why Jesus' birth, though not on December 25th, is still worth celebrating as a reminder of God's ultimate gift to humanity. Like the shepherds who witnessed the Savior's arrival (Luke 2:17), we are called to go out and share the good news with others, spreading the light of Christ in a dark world.As believers, we're commanded to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19–20). That begins with giving—the gift of truth, love, and the gospel message. Use this season to reflect God's generosity by sharing your faith, encouraging others, and pointing them to Jesus, the greatest gift of all. Christmas is more than a tradition; it's an opportunity to live out the love of God every day.Referenced Verses: John 3:16Matthew 2:11John 19:39Luke 2:17James 1:17Matthew 28:16-20-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

From John 3, Pastor Kenny explores how Jesus defines love—not as a feeling, but as covenant faithfulness: God's light breaking into our darkness, calling us out of hiding, and leading us into true life.

Relationships in HD — Part 15: Parenting Like the Father Description: In Part 15 of Relationships in HD, Pastor Eric turns the camera toward the character of God the Father—and shows how His heart, His patience, and His approachability form the pattern for every parent, grandparent, and mentor in the church. This message speaks not only to moms and dads, but to everyone called to disciple the next generation. If you belong to Christ, someone younger in the faith needs you. From John 1, John 8, and Romans 8, Eric walks through one of the most essential truths in the Christian life: not everyone is automatically a child of God, but everyone who believes in Jesus is adopted, loved, forgiven, and welcomed as a son or daughter. Out of that identity flows our calling: to reflect our Father's heart to those entrusted to us. Using the Prodigal Son as the centerpiece, Eric shows how God parents us—with generosity, patience, kindness, open arms, and restorative grace—and challenges parents to build the kind of character that causes their children to come home when they fall. This message also addresses the dangers of absent parenting, angry parenting, overbearing parenting, shame-based parenting, and the tendency to treat our children as interruptions rather than priorities. Practical, gospel-soaked, and deeply pastoral, this is a call to imitate our Father in heaven and become safe, steady, compassionate mentors in a world starving for spiritual mothers and fathers. Key Scriptures (NKJV): John 1:11–12; John 8:44; Romans 8:15–16; Galatians 4:6; Matthew 6:5–13; Matthew 11:28–30; Luke 15:11–24; James 4:6–10; Hebrews 4:14–16; Jeremiah 31:3; Psalm 145:8. Highlights: Spiritual parenting: why every believer—parent or not—is called to mentor the younger. Not all people are God's children—only those who receive Christ are adopted into His family. God the Father as the model: available, approachable, generous, compassionate, slow to anger. Parenting through God's character: kindness, mercy, patience, and truth. The Prodigal Son: a picture of the Father's heart and a pattern for restoring relationships. Why children need space to grow—and why helicopter parenting harms development. Making children a priority (without making them idols). The power of humility: repenting to your children when you've blown it. Being a refuge for your kids—someone they run to, not run from. Grace and discipline: discipline as training, not punishment. God's open-door invitation: “Come to Me… I will give you rest.” Next Steps: Ask God to help you imitate His fatherly heart this week. Choose one concrete way to be more available, more patient, more compassionate, or more approachable to your child—or to someone younger in the faith. If needed, take the humble step of apologizing for past failures. Then pray Romans 8:15–16 and thank God that He is your Father—and ask Him to make you a living picture of His grace.

From John 1:1-12. This sermon was preached by David Shaw and is 16 minutes long.

Joy that lasts is not based on feelings. It is based on a faithful God.In this encouraging Christmas-season message, John Gunter invites us to reflect on what truly brings joy. From John 15 and Romans 8 to Isaiah 35, we are reminded that joy is not the absence of sorrow. It is the presence of Christ. Real joy is rooted in obedience, endurance, and confidence that nothing can separate us from the love of God.Key Takeaways:Fleeting happiness rises and falls with circumstancesEnduring joy is found in walking closely with ChristObedience leads to alignment, and alignment leads to joy

The young boy who offered his five loaves and two fish reminds us that when we give Jesus what we have, He multiplies it beyond measure. Pastor Josiah shared how our small acts of generosity allow us to “write ourselves into the story.” Continuing FC's mission to culture like Christ and vision of Jesus, this week's message—“The Twin”—focused on Thomas, who moved from doubt to deep faith. From John 11, we saw that Lazarus's story “would not end in death” but in God's glory, reminding us that even when we're in the middle of struggle, the story is not over. Jesus performs miracles not to impress but to reveal His love and character. Through Thomas, we learned that pain and disappointment can cloud our faith, but Jesus invites us, like Thomas, to look up, believe, and be transformed. Pastor Josiah urged us, “Don't let pain suffocate your faith.” Instead, lift your eyes to the Savior—He is still mending hearts, restoring hope, and bringing light into our darkest places.

From John 1:12-14, lets reflect on Jesus' incarnation - God becoming a man

From John 1:1–5 we learn that Christmas - Jesus' birth - was not His beginning. Jesus is the eternal God, who existed before creation and through whom all things were made.

Recorded live at FanX Salt Lake in April 2019, this Conversation with Craig is a full panel with comedy legend John Cleese, as Craig finally gets his game time call to step onstage with one of his heroes. From John's North American convention debut and Craig's nerves backstage to dry British chaos in front of a packed room, it is equal parts origin story, masterclass in comedy, and gleeful mischief. How a would be lawyer with a Cambridge law degree accidentally fell into show business through a student revue that suddenly transferred to London and ran for months. Cleese breaks down why you should always write comedy about what you know, how Fawlty Towers grew out of that idea, and how he approached those classic management training videos without ever having lived in a cubicle. Candid, rapid fire audience Q and A on Monty Python collaborators, silly walks, roles he regrets turning down, aging, politics, and why he happily pokes fun at everyone, including himself. "Actually, it's quite nice being old, because you just don't give a fuck, you know?" - John Cleese Want more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the people who bring your favorite characters to life?

This week, Pastor John launched our Christmas Grace series by showing that when grace is missing, everything in life becomes distorted. From John 1, we're reminded that Christ is God's answer to our deepest need. In Him, truth and grace come together so we can see the gospel with stunning clarity.

Send us a textPain doesn't always point to hidden sin, and quick answers often make wounds deeper. We walk through the tense exchange between Eliphaz and Job to show how well-meaning comfort can turn into accusation when we rush to explain suffering. Along the way we name the reflex many of us share: reading tragedy like karma, then baptizing it with spiritual language. That lens fails the heart of the sufferer and misses the heart of God.We ground the conversation in Scripture. From Mark 9, a father's honest cry — “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief” — reveals how Jesus meets imperfect faith with compassion and power. From John 9, we see suffering that exists so the works of God may be displayed. And through Job's lament, we learn the difference between honest grief and sinful murmuring. These passages untangle a common confusion: faith is not a performance metric God waits to grade; it is a dependent trust in Christ, even when our knees shake.We also tackle salvation and spiritual optics. Baptism, circumcision, giving, and denominational badges don't save; they testify to grace already received. From Abraham to David to now, the way God saves has been the same: by grace through faith. That truth frees weary souls from spiritual ladder-climbing and invites us to rest in a Savior who sees the heart. Still, the conversation leaves room for nuance: we call for self-examination where habitual sin persists, without turning every hardship into retribution. Wise comfort listens first, guards the vulnerable, and speaks truth with tenderness.If this resonated with you, share it with a friend who's walking through a storm.

In this final episode of the series on the Fruit of the Spirit, Dan Holland wraps it all up with one powerful truth: the Spirit-filled life isn't about trying harder—it's about abiding deeper in Christ. From John 15 and Psalm 1, we're reminded that a life rooted in Jesus naturally produces the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The secret to lasting transformation isn't willpower; it's connection. When we stay planted in the Word of God, the Spirit does the growing.Discover how abiding in Jesus changes what “spills out” when life bumps you—and how the Holy Spirit produces fruit that lasts.If you are interested in starting a micro church or hosting a small group in your home with like-minded individuals, we've got you covered.

In this episode of The Choice, Ashe in America and Ghost dive deep into Episode 4 of The Chosen, exploring the pivotal moment when Simon Peter hits rock bottom, morally, spiritually, and financially, only to encounter Jesus in a way that changes everything. The hosts unpack themes of faith, pride, desperation, and redemption through Simon's struggle to fix his problems by his own hand, contrasting his self-reliance with Eden's steadfast faith and Jesus' divine timing. They draw powerful parallels between biblical archetypes and modern life, analyzing Simon's journey as a portrait of every person who must surrender control before experiencing true transformation. From John the Baptizer's radical defiance of religious authority to Nicodemus' curiosity about miracles, Ashe and Ghost illuminate how faith challenges the rational mind and redefines power itself. A moving, cinematic reflection on obedience, grace, and the moment when belief becomes action.

In this powerful message, Pastor Tony launches our new series “The Good Shepherd” — exploring what it truly means to know Jesus not just as Saviour, but as the Shepherd who leads, protects, and calls us by name.From John 10, we see Jesus declare, “I am the good shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep.”This sermon reminds us that:We are led by voice, not by voices — in a world full of noise and confusion, only the Shepherd's voice brings peace, truth, and direction.The Good Shepherd never abandons His sheep — even when we wander or feel broken, He draws us near, restores us, and makes us whole again.True disciples recognize His voice, follow His leading, and rest in the assurance that we are never alone.

In this week's message, Pastor Putnam challenges one of the most popular messages of our culture—the call to “find your why.” With clarity and compassion, he reminds us that before we can ever discover our why, we must first discover the Truth. From John 14:6 to John 8:32, Pastor Putnam declares that truth is not a concept or a philosophy—it is a person, and His name is Jesus Christ. Through vivid stories of Nicodemus, the woman at the well, and the Apostle Paul, we're reminded that when we encounter the Truth, our confusion gives way to clarity, our searching gives way to purpose, and our bondage gives way to freedom. In a world obsessed with self-discovery, Pastor Putnam calls the church to rediscover Christ-discovery—to surrender rather than self-seek, to follow rather than “find ourselves.” For when we know Jesus, we not only know the Truth, but we finally know who we are and why we are here. If you've been searching for meaning, struggling with identity, or longing for direction, this message will lead you to the only One who can truly satisfy the soul. When you know the Truth—you'll know your why. To hear more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

In this episode, we explore the warnings of Scripture about false teachers, deceptive spirits, and empty religion that denies the power of God. From John's urgent reminder of the antichrist spirit to Paul's warning about itching ears and empty faith, these passages remind us of the danger of counterfeit Christianity and the need to cling to the true gospel of Christ.

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, September 21, 2025 Jesus was never sinfully triggered by the truth, but many of the things He said and did triggered others.

Every season comes with its own demands—and the harvest season is no exception. In this episode, we dive into the biblical principles of recognizing, working, and stewarding your harvest. From John 4:35 to Proverbs 10:5, we uncover why harvest time requires urgency, diligence, and discernment. You'll learn how to identify your harvest season, why procrastination and slothfulness can cause you to lose what God has prepared, and why collaboration is essential—because no one harvests alone.  We also explore the dangers, responsibilities, and opportunities that come with increase, including the call to generosity, sowing for the future, and honoring God with your first fruits. Harvest is a season of both work and worship. Are you ready to recognize your moment and reap with wisdom?

In this message, Pastor Steve continues our study through John 16, where Jesus prepares His disciples for the world's hatred and the reality of persecution.   This week's message is especially heavy as we reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a man who boldly proclaimed his faith in Christ. His life—and his death—remind us that the world is not our home and that following Jesus comes at a cost.   From John 16:1-15, we see three truths in Jesus' words:   1. His warning prepares us so we do not fall away.   2. His warning reminds us that we have work to do as witnesses of the Gospel.   3. His warning reassures us that the Holy Spirit will equip us to endure life's challenges.   The Spirit of God convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—and empowers believers to live boldly for Christ, even in the face of suffering.   May Charlie's legacy and Jesus' words remind us to live with eternal purpose and to trust the Spirit's power in our lives.   —

What does this perspective mean to you, and how might it change the way you read the Bible? Nahum's prophecy against Nineveh comes 100 to 150 years after Jonah's. How does the contrasting message between these two prophets reflect God's justice and mercy? In what ways did Nahum emphasize both God's power and his goodness? How do you see these two aspects of God in your own life? The description of Nineveh's fall is vivid and devastating. Why do you think the Bible includes such detailed imagery when depicting the consequences of turning away from God? Jesus' statement in John 5:39, "You study the Scriptures diligently... yet the Scriptures point to me," is highlighted in the episode. What are the risks of focusing on religious rules without embracing the person of Jesus? The host mentions that some people missed God's love because they were consumed with control, rules, and judgment. What are some modern-day examples of missing God's love in similar ways? How does Jesus' healing at the pool of Bethesda challenge the religious leaders' views on the Sabbath? What message do you think Jesus was trying to convey through this act? The prayers at the end of the episode emphasize being instruments of peace, forgiveness, and love. How can these prayers inspire the way you interact with others today? The episode encourages listeners to recognize God's love already present in their hearts. What practices or habits can help you become more aware of God's love in your everyday life? Reflecting on today's readings and the discussion, how can you move from simply knowing about God to truly experiencing and living in God's love? Feel free to use these for group discussion or personal reflection! Absolutely!

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the struggle of life, then the solution. So little back story on this topic. Recently John met a brilliant guy that is in the field of maximizing brain health. He read John's book and had a candid suggestion for John on how to improve the book. He said there w was not enough explanation of the struggle that people go through in life. He said that before we give them the solution, we have to get them to buy in that I understand their struggle. That's a very valid criticism.So during this podcast Kelly talks about her struggles earlier in her career. The struggles really began for her in her mid-30s. As she was launching into being an entrepreneur. She felt like she wasn't playing to her potential. There was more gas in the tank. And John experienced the same thing is 30s and 40s. He worked harder than all his friends. But why weren't his results matching his efforts. John had the naïve perception that he deserved big success because he was working harder than his friends. How unenlightened is that.Then for both John and Kelly, things shifted when they learned how the human mind works. From John discovering the secret of think and grow Rich. Which gave each of them immensely more control over their lives. John then goes on to talk about your subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or it is your greatest nemesis in life. It's your choice. If you do nothing, your subconscious mind remains your greatest nemesis. Because it's innately wired for survival. Causing you be fear-based and reactive. Alternatively, you can stop winging life and do the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology. That gives you control of your subconscious mind. Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

If we celebrate our freedoms as Americans, how much more should we be living out and celebrating our spiritual freedoms as Christians. Sadly, most in the church don't understand what it means to be spiritually free and don't understand what they have been set free from.

This story gives us some insight into the types of dads the world needs today if we are going to withstand the attacks and onslaught of a lost culture.

In today's episode of Sanctified-ish, Reagan and Victor take on one of the most important questions in all of Scripture...  Did Jesus actually claim to be God? We dive deep into the Scriptures, unpacking the verses where Jesus doesn't just imply His divinity—He outright declares it. From John 8:58 ("Before Abraham was, I am") to John 10:30 ("I and the Father are one"), we walk through the I AM statements, the miraculous signs, and the reactions of the religious leaders who knew exactly what He was saying. This isn't just a theology class—this is about why the divinity of Jesus matters for your everyday life. Because if Jesus really is God, then everything changes. Grab your Bible and get ready to wrestle with the text—because the question isn't just “Did Jesus claim to be God?” …it's “What are you going to do about it?”
