Grace & Truth: A new heart and spiritPastor Steve PooleTEXT: Ezekiel 36:22-36GRACE: God will save, restore, forgive, bless and establish His people.TRUTH: God restores and blesses His people to bring glory to His name.LEV & RUAKH“...Character, personality, will, mind are modern terms which all reflect something of the meaning of ‘heart'...” (Banwell)“...ruakh is used to talk about humans, it describes their breath and core qualities.” (Schlimm)GRACE: God offers a new heart and His Spirit to ALL who believe in Jesus.NEXT STEPS1. Believe in Jesus and receive a new lev and ruakh by God's grace.2. Consider how God has changed your heart (lev) since your salvation and share a story of God's faithfulness with someone.3. Continue reading Ezekiel, following this guide to interpret and apply God's word to your lifeGO DEEPERA Brief Guide to Apocalyptic ProphecyBooks like Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation are filled with weird symbols and visions. The authors reveal divine truths through imagery that invites us to pay attention to several layers. Remember this:Focus on the historical context. The first layer is always the message the author wanted the immediate audience to grasp.Next study the symbols and imagery as they are used throughout the Bible. The meaning of these symbols remains consistent throughout the Bible. The next layer is to understand what these passages teach us about God. And in particular, how these prophecies are fulfilled in Jesus. The final layer asks how these prophecies might be fulfilled again today or in the future.Be Careful:Don't lose the big picture of the battle between good and evil and God's ultimate victory over evil.Avoid over-interpreting every detail; instead, focus on the prophetic themes of hope and the establishment of God's kingdom. Do not interpret symbolic language literally. The authors describe complex ideas in terms that would have been understandable to the original audience. Resist the temptation to get carried away by elaborate schemes that assign a specific modern meaning to every symbol. When we read these books we take the authors at their word when they explain what they hope to tell us. Ezekiel is clear in chapter 1 verse 1: “I saw visions of God.” John is clear in Revelations 1:1 “The revelation of Jesus”

In chapters one through four the Apostle Paul revealed the Gospel of Christ. The two great revelations Paul made in Romans 1:16-18. First, the righteousness of God can only be attained through faith. Second, the wrath of God is revealed on all ungodliness and unrighteousness. A vivid picture is painted of man's ungodliness and how he is a slave of sin. We are taken to the courtroom of the Almighty where everyone is guilty before God. Beginning in chapter 3, verse 21, we are introduced to the righteousness of God. This righteousness can only be attained through faith in the provision God has made. We are introduced to several legal terms: Grace: God's unmerited favor Righteousness: God's standard of perfection Redemption: a price that is paid Justification: a judicial act of declaring debts forgiven Propitiation: satisfaction that a debt is paid Imputation: an accounting term meaning something was given Chapters five through eight introduce us to what God does in and through the believer once he is saved. A key word is RECONCILIATION. The believer is no longer an enemy of God but has begun a new relationship with his Savior. "Therefore, having being justified by faith...." We now see the great blessings that come from this justification.

The Law of Death vs The Word of Life ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | August 31, 2025 Esther Series, Part 8: Esther 8 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY What happens when victory feels incomplete and the threat still remains? Through Esther chapter 8, Michael Shockley explores how God's salvation works when evil laws can't simply be erased. Starting with a creative poetic recap of chapters 1-7, discover why Haman's death didn't solve everything - his genocidal decree was still legally binding in the Persian Empire. Watch as Mordecai rises from death row to Prime Minister, and learn how the king's solution - a counter-decree allowing Jews to defend themselves - points to a much greater story. From irrevocable Persian laws to God's perfect justice, explore how the Law of Death (God's righteous standards we can't meet) is overcome by the Word of Life (Jesus taking our place). Through humor, biblical insight, and practical application, understand the difference between justice, mercy, and grace, and why authentic faith matters more than religious identity. Core Message: The Law of Death is real, but The Word of Life is greater. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED Creative Story Recap - Poetic summary of Esther chapters 1-7 in rhyming verses - Queen Vashti's refusal and removal from the throne - Esther's rise through the beauty contest and divine positioning - Haman's genocidal plot and Mordecai's refusal to bow - The fasting, banquets, sleepless night, and ultimate justice - Setting up chapter 8 as the resolution to lingering problems The Incomplete Victory - Why Haman's death didn't solve everything immediately - The genocidal decree still legally binding throughout the empire - Esther's continued pleading with tears for her people's safety - The irreversible nature of Persian law - no decree could be repealed - How apparent victories can still leave underlying threats Mordecai's Incredible Reversal - From death row to Prime Minister in a single day - Receiving Haman's signet ring and estate as rewards - The waterboy-to-coach comparison for this promotion - Being dressed in royal robes and crowned by the king - The people of Shushan rejoicing over righteous leadership The Counter-Decree Strategy - King Ahasuerus explaining the legal limitations of Persian law - The solution: writing a new law to oppose the first one - Empowering Jews to band together and defend themselves - Allowing them to do to attackers what was planned against them - The king's revenge plot vs. God's heart for breaking cycles The Spreading Good News - Mordecai's first act: sending couriers to all 127 provinces - The message traveling from India to Ethiopia across the empire - Jewish families celebrating and coming together in unity - The birth of what would become the ongoing holiday of Purim - How good news transforms fear into celebration The Phenomenon of Conversion - Many people throughout the empire "becoming Jews" - Genuine spiritual conversion vs. political convenience - How demonstrated divine power attracts people to God's team - The advantage of being identified with those who have God's favor - Modern parallels of cultural Christianity without authentic faith The Danger of Identity-Only Faith - People claiming Christianity for social or political advantage - The difference between Christian identity and Christian reality - Family pressure vs. personal conviction in spiritual decisions - The importance of authentic, personal spiritual journeys - Warning against going through religious motions without heart change The Gospel Parallel - How Esther's story reflects the greater story of salvation - All people under condemnation from God's righteous law - The impossibility of meeting God's standard of perfect obedience - God's law revealing unrighteousness rather than righteousness - The need for a solution that upholds justice while providing mercy The Higher Law of Grace - God's inability to simply revoke or lower His standards - Jesus as the "counter-decree" who fulfills rather than cancels the law - The Cross as God's answer to the problem of justice and mercy - Christ taking the place of the unjust while upholding righteousness - Romans 8:1: "No condemnation for those in Christ Jesus" ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "The Law of Death is real, but The Word of Life is greater." "It's not coincidence, it's providence." "If somebody predicts His Death and Resurrection and pulls it off exactly how He Said, I want to be with that Guy!" "We are super excited to help you on your journey to Jesus and with Jesus, but it has got to be YOUR journey." "God's Law does not reveal us to be righteous, but unrighteous. All of us." "God issued a second Decree. This one is GRACE through Jesus." "Justice is getting what we deserve. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we do not deserve." "Justice writes the speeding ticket. Mercy tears it up. Grace fills your tank and sends you on your way." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 8:1-6 - Key Supporting Verse: "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1) - Old Testament Law Context: "There is none righteous, no not one" (Psalm 14:3; Romans 3:10) - Theme: Divine solution to irrevocable condemnation through a higher law - Historical Context: Persian legal system and the irreversible nature of royal decrees - Gospel Connection: How the Cross fulfills rather than cancels God's justice ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Dealing with Lingering Consequences: - Remember that God's solutions often work differently than human fixes - Trust that apparent victories may still require ongoing faith and action - Know that God can turn death sentences into promotion opportunities - Understand that His deliverance often empowers us rather than removing all challenges If You're Questioning Your Faith's Authenticity: - Examine whether your Christianity is identity-based or heart-based - Make sure your spiritual journey is genuinely yours, not just family expectation - Seek God personally rather than going through religious motions - Remember that authentic faith matters more than religious performance If You Feel Condemned by God's Standards: - Recognize that God's law reveals our need rather than our righteousness - Understand that perfection, not comparison to others, is God's standard - Know that the law's purpose is to point us to our need for a Savior - Trust that Jesus fulfilled the requirements we could never meet If You're Struggling with Justice and Mercy: - Justice: getting what we deserve (condemnation for sin) - Mercy: not getting what we deserve (being spared from hell)   - Grace: getting what we don't deserve (adoption, eternal life, joy in Christ) - See how all three work together perfectly at the Cross If You Haven't Put Your Faith in Jesus: - Consider what you're waiting for when the solution is available - Remember that salvation comes by grace through faith, not performance - Know that you don't have to understand every detail to experience transformation - Trust that the same God who orchestrated Esther's deliverance offers yours ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you feel like you're under an irrevocable sentence - condemned by past mistakes, current struggles, or the weight of not measuring up to God's perfect standards. Maybe you've tried to be good enough but realize you fall short of perfection. Maybe you've been going through the motions of faith without the heart reality. This much is true: the Law of Death is real - we all fall short of God's righteousness and deserve condemnation. But the Word of Life is greater. Jesus didn't come to lower God's standards or pretend our sin doesn't matter. He came to fulfill those standards perfectly and take our condemnation upon Himself. At the Cross, justice fell on Jesus who took our place. Through faith in Him, we receive mercy (escape from condemnation) and grace (adoption into God's family). The counter-decree has been written in His blood. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Is your faith identity-only or heart-reality? Have you trusted in Jesus' counter-decree of grace, or are you still trying to escape condemnation through your own efforts? The Law of Death is real, but The Word of Life is greater - and that Word is available to you today.

The Christian Life is empowered by Grace - God doing in us what we could never accomplish by ourselves - all because of His love and kindness given freely to everyone, without regard to their "worthiness" to receive such an amazing gift from God.

There will be no unrighteousness in heaven. Therefore, only those who are righteous will go there. Paul has established the fact that "the is none righteous, no, not one" (3:10). All the world is guilty before God (3:19). Beginning in Romans 3:21, Paul introduced to us the way a person can be declared righteous. He has introduced several terms: Grace: God's unmerited favor Righteousness: God's standard of perfection Redemption: a price that is paid Justification: a judicial act of declaring debts forgiven Propitiation: satisfaction that a debt has been paid

The Christian Life is empowered by Grace - God doing in us what we could never accomplish by ourselves - all because of His love and kindness given freely to people who don't deserve it.

From Romans 1:1 to 3:20 Paul reveals the wrath of God upon all ungodliness. It is firmly established that we are all ungodly. Beginning in 3:21, and through the rest of the epistle, Paul expounds on the remedy, the good news of redemption in Christ Jesus. This good news is proclaimed to all, both Jew and Gentile, who believe. "But now" (3:21) God reveals His righteousness and how it can be attained by all who believe. There are several terms Paul introduces and expands upon in the following chapters: Grace: God's unmerited favor Righteousness: God's standard of perfection Redemption: a price that is paid Justification: a judicial act of declaring debts forgiven Propitiation: satisfaction that a debt was paid There is one more important word that Paul will introduce. Forgiveness of sin has been paid through the shed blood of our Savior. A child of God is forgiven, but he is not innocent. Then, how does one become "righteous?" The answer is IMPUTATION! "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted (imputed) to him for righteousness" (4:3).

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon NotesPT story: Overusing wrong muscles, learning what the right ones feel like.Spiritual parallel: Faith is our central muscle group.Often atrophied → we rely on self-reliance, control → strain.Goal: Learn what faith “feels like” and strengthen it.Faith grows in response to grace (10:19–22)Sequence: Grace → Faith.Grace = God's free kindness in Christ; Faith = saying “yes” to it.Ongoing: Grace sustains faith for life.When faith feels weak: Seek grace, not just “more faith.”Means of grace: Scripture, fellowship, worship, Communion, prayer.Faith sees that which is unseen (11:1)Assurance of future promises; conviction of present spiritual realities.Not irrational—like belief in love.Faith = “organ to see the invisible order” (F.F. Bruce).Example – Moses(11:26–27)A. In TemptationTurned from Egypt's visible wealth by looking to unseen reward in Christ.Application: Resist visible false promises (wealth, status, sex, control) by seeing greater unseen reward.B. In SufferingEndured Pharaoh's wrath by “seeing Him who is invisible.”Application: Fix eyes on unseen love, power, promises of God.Faith in suffering = visible witness to invisible grace.Discussion Questions:How would you define grace? What about faith?In Eph 2:8, Paul says we are saved by grace through faith. What does he mean? How are grace and faith linked?Give examples of something real that you can't see.Temptation and suffering are often the context in which faith is used and strengthened.  How so?In what way is someone's faith amid personal suffering a benefit to the whole community? Can you give examples of where you have seen this?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

Grace & Truth: Isaiah 46Pastor Steve PooleTHEME – Is your god a burden?TRUTH - Worshipping anything but the one true God burdens us and leaves us in bondage.GRACE - God carries those whom he chooses to salvation and gives them His righteousness.NEXT STEPS1. Receive deliverance and salvation in the name of Jesus.2. Spend some time this week in prayer and reflection asking God to reveal any idols in your heart and root those out.3. Confess any idolatry in your life and embrace God's truth and grace more deeply in that aspect of your life.ISAIAH 461 Bel bows down; Nebo stoops; their idols are on beasts and livestock; these things you carry are borne as burdens on weary beasts.2 They stoop; they bow down together; they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity.3 “Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb; 4 even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.5 “To whom will you liken me and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike? 6 Those who lavish gold from the purse, and weigh out silver in the scales, hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; then they fall down and worship! 7 They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.8 “Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, 9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,' 11 calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.12 “Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, you who are far from righteousness: 13 I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off, and my salvation will not delay; I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory.”

Join us in today's sermon podcast as we delve into the profound teachings of the Apostle Paul and explore the parable of the wedding banquet from the Gospel of Matthew 22. Through this message, discover how God's invitation extends beyond the initial invitees, reaching out to those in the highways and byways, calling them to a divine celebration. We journey through biblical history, from the call of Abraham and Sarah to the prophetic insights of Isaiah and Jeremiah, culminating in the mission of Jesus. This episode highlights God's unwavering mission to restore humanity's relationship with Him and invites us to participate in His divine plan. As we embrace the righteousness of Christ, we are called to share this grace with others, ensuring that all have the opportunity to join in the great wedding banquet. Let's reflect on how we can partake in God's mission and share His love with the world. With Pastor Mike Curry. ---- GOD'S MISSION AND MY PURPOSE Matthew 22:1-14 Introduction: The Bible tells a very simple story of a loving heavenly Father working tirelessly to restore relationship with his lost children. God invited Abraham and Sarah to join in his mission. (Gen. 12:1-3; Heb. 11:8-10) God chose Abraham to be a man of great faith who became the father not only of an earthly nation (Israelites) but also of a spiritual nation (the church) God invited the prophets to join in his mission. All the prophets gave puzzle pieces to God's people of faith to give them hope for the coming Messiah. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joel III. God sent his Son, Jesus, to plainly declare his mission. (John 4:27-38) “My food,” Jesus said, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work” (John 4:34). God invites you to join in his mission. (Matthew 22:1-14) Our purpose in God's mission is to invite friends, family members, and everyone in our realm of influence to come to God. Conclusion: From the day God created humanity until today, he has been on a mission to live in vital, personal relationship with every person. God invites us to participate with him in that mission.

Forgiveness is total or not at all. Can we let go of all attachment to grievances and wanting things to be different than what we are given? The best way to let go of what we do not want is to stop fighting it, and focus on the good conditions of Grace that hold out the peace and joy of God for us. Can we "completely let go?" Total forgiveness lets us receive the Grace God has in store for us. As we enter into the realm of the Silent Mind, Grace comes rushing to us. Then we are certain that Life Takes Care of us. We must completely forgive everyone and everything to receive this total, Divine Care.  Our mistakes have no conesequence when we let Forgiveness rest upon all of them. We see the face of Christ in us and others instead of our mistakes. We cannot blame others for getting results we deem undesirable. These results are Lessons we would learn to release and forgive. Grace is our natural inheritance. But we have to put in our diligence to master complete forgiveness. AMEN. 

GRACE:  God's  Riches At Christ's ExpenseFor God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21Continuing in the message series, “Words that Heal My Soul"   We are going to look at Jesus and the final statements He made while on the cross— really meaningful words that are deeply healing to hear. Words, that when truly understood and absorbed change our lives.  Let's listen.Support the show IN NEED OF PRAYER?

Numbers 15: Historical Facts and Keywords Historical Context & Summary Numbers 15 takes place after the Israelites' rebellion in Numbers 14, where they refused to enter the Promised Land and were sentenced to wander in the wilderness for 40 years. Despite their punishment, God still provided laws and instructions, showing His ongoing relationship with them. 1.Laws on Offerings (Verses 1–21): •God commanded the Israelites to present grain, drink, and burnt offerings alongside their animal sacrifices when they entered the Promised Land. •This law applied to both Israelites and foreigners living among them, emphasizing that all people under God's covenant should follow the same worship practices. 2.Sin Offerings (Verses 22–31): •Distinction was made between unintentional and intentional sins. •Atonement could be made for unintentional sins through sacrifices, but high-handed (defiant) sins were punishable by being cut off from the community. 3.The Sabbath-Breaker (Verses 32–36): •A man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath, violating God's command. •God instructed Moses to have the man stoned by the community, reinforcing the seriousness of obeying divine laws. 4.Tassels on Garments (Verses 37–41): •God commanded the Israelites to wear tzitzit (tassels) with a blue cord on their garments as a visual reminder to obey His commandments. •The tassels symbolized holiness and devotion to God, preventing the people from straying after their own desires. Key Themes & Keywords •Obedience – Following God's laws was essential for both individuals and the community. •Holiness – The tassels served as a physical reminder of Israel's calling to be holy. •Judgment – The Sabbath-breaker's punishment showed that willful defiance had consequences. •Grace – God still provided ways for forgiveness through sacrifices for unintentional sins. •Covenant – The laws reaffirmed the Israelites' unique relationship with God. Numbers 15 highlights God's expectations for His people and the importance of living in obedience, even in the wilderness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

To get a clearer picture of God, we need to understand His unearned, undeserved favor toward us. His grace goes far beyond simply forgiving our sins; it is His way of dealing with those who receive Christ. Grace provides assurance, stability, and direction in the lives of believers. It is not something reserved for when we eventually get to heaven; it immediately begins working in our daily lives the instant we believe and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The beauty of grace is that it is based not on what we do, but on what Jesus already did and our faith in that. We are forgiven, holy, and righteous not because of our efforts, but because God said so. Knowing and accepting our right-standing with God changes our entire lives.

Both CS Lewis and RC Sproul asked, "If you could boil down take Christian theology and boil it into one word, what would it be?" Love? Faith? They answered that the one word would be Grace. Grace is like a huge bank account and faith is the account number to get access to it. God provides the grace, and we respond to it with faith. Another way to look at it is to contrast 3 words and what they mean: Judgement - getting what you deserve Mercy - not getting what you deserve Grace - getting something that you don't deserve Grace is something that costs everything for the Giver (Jesus) and nothing for the recipient (you and I). John 1:14 tells us that, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, ...full of grace and truth." Today we're studying Matthew 20:1-16.

God's grace is not just a concept to understand but an experience to live. Drawing on biblical accounts, it highlights how God's grace is active, personal, and transformative, offering forgiveness, love, and adoption into His family despite our shortcomings. The call to actions is to seek a deeper, experiential relationship with God, anchored in His unchanging grace and truth. 

Today we delve into the Christmas story from Luke 2, uncovering the authentic love displayed by both God and His people. We see examples of man's love for God through Mary, Joseph, Simeon, and Anna - each demonstrating devotion despite challenging circumstances. However, the heart of the message reminds us that Scripture ultimately reveals God's love for man. His pursuit of humanity, from Abraham to Jesus, shows that our love is merely a response to His initiating love. This realization challenges us to move beyond simply returning God's love to loving Him for who He is. As we grow in our faith, our goal shifts from seeking blessings to becoming more Christ-like, even when it's uncomfortable. This Christmas, let's reflect on how we can let our good deeds shine not for our glory, but so others may praise our heavenly Father.If you want help in starting this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out!If you want to talk to someone about going deeper in your faith or starting to walk with Jesus on a daily basis, please reach out to us at office@graceva.com

In this message, we explore how God's grace is displayed through the imperfect people in Jesus' family tree. Despite their flaws, God used them to bring His plan of salvation to fruition, showing that no one is beyond His redemption. God's grace isn't about earning, it's about receiving—and no one is too far gone to be part of His plan.
