More than Hype ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | September 14, 2025 1 John Series, Part 1: More than Hype 1 John 1:1-4 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY In the opening message of a new series on 1 John, Michael Shockley introduces us to the incredible journey of John the Apostle - from a barefoot boy splashing in the Sea of Galilee to the last living eyewitness of Jesus Christ. Through the colorful backstory of "Johannan" (John's Aramaic name), discover how a hot-tempered fisherman's son became known as the "Apostle of Love." This message establishes that our faith isn't based on hype, legend, or secondhand stories, but on the real, tangible experiences of people who lived with Jesus daily for three years. John's opening verses in his first epistle emphasize what he personally heard, saw, looked upon, and touched - making the case that the Gospel is more than hype, more than history, but the very Life of Jesus living in believers today. Core Message: The Gospel is more than hype, more than history — it's The Life of Jesus in us. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Story of John the Apostle - Born as "Johannan" in Bethsaida, son of Zebedee and Salome - Growing up as a fisherman with calloused hands and stormy nights - Transformation through John the Baptist's preaching and baptism The Call to Follow Jesus - John the Baptist pointing to Jesus as "the Lamb of God" - The moment John's spiritual compass found "true North" - Jesus choosing both John and James as disciples despite their rough edges - The nickname "Boanerges" (Sons of Thunder) for their fiery tempers - Jesus' correction when they wanted to call down fire on Samaritans John's Special Relationship with Jesus - Being part of the inner circle with Peter and James - Witnessing the Transfiguration and Jesus' glory shining like the sun - Sitting beside Jesus at the Last Supper, asking bold questions - Being the only disciple to stand at the foot of the Cross - Receiving the personal mission to care for Mary, Jesus' mother From Death to Resurrection - John's heartbreak at Jesus' death, not understanding the promise of resurrection - Sprinting to the empty tomb on Easter morning - Seeing and touching the Risen Christ for forty days - Receiving the Great Commission to spread the news worldwide - Becoming "a man on fire for the mission" after Jesus' ascension A Life of Persecution and Ministry - Multiple arrests and beatings for preaching the Gospel - Watching his brother James become the first apostle martyred - All other apostles dying violent deaths for their faith - Moving to Ephesus to father the local churches - Writing the Gospel of John to record previously untold stories Exile and Final Years - Surviving execution by boiling oil through divine protection - Exile to the rocky island of Patmos for his continued witness - Receiving and recording the visions that became the Book of Revelation - Returning to Ephesus in frail old age but with powerful words - Writing three epistles recognized as Holy Spirit-breathed truth The Credibility of the New Testament - Written by eyewitnesses and those who interviewed eyewitnesses - Composed within decades of the actual events, not centuries later - Authors gained no earthly advantage - only persecution and death - Hundreds of people could have disputed fabricated details - The ultimate test: would you die for something you knew was false? The Reality of Jesus as "The Word of Life" - John's emphasis on tangible, physical experience with Jesus - Not debating an idea but introducing a Person he knew intimately - God becoming physical reality because humanity couldn't reach God - The Life and Salvation of Jesus "manifested" - made real and obvious - Jesus putting on humanity, sandals, and walking dusty roads The Purpose of John's Writing - To share what he literally saw and heard with his own senses - To bring others into fellowship with Jesus and the family of believers - To continue the declaration started by all the apostles - To help people connect with Jesus and avoid doing life alone - That readers' "joy may be full" - complete joy found in Jesus Modern Eyewitnesses and Testimonies - We may not have literally seen Jesus like John did - But we can testify to His miracles and power in our lives today - Brokenness made whole, addiction overcome, selfishness transformed - Bitterness replaced with forgiveness, anxiety with unexplainable peace - The biggest miracle: people coming out of darkness into Light Understanding Joy That Is Full - Joy isn't dependent on pleasant circumstances or material possessions - People with easier lives often complain more than those with struggles - Family and good things bring limited joy that can be broken - True joy cannot depend on what we have or what happens - Fullness of joy CAN be found in fellowship with Jesus ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "The Gospel is more than hype, more than history — it's The Life of Jesus in us." "The compass needle found true North." "Jesus wasn't like any Rabbi Johanan had ever known." "The Kingdom of God would be built with love, not vengeance." "Only the one who did not run from death escaped death." "The Son of Thunder became the Apostle of Love." "He outran Peter to the tomb, outlived all the others, and outlasted exile to bring you this message." "Joy cannot depend on what we have or what happens. It depends on Who Jesus Is." "Just like a healthy plant drops seeds that are able to sprout and grow new plants, a healthy believer spreads the seed of The Good News." "I have seen Jesus. I have heard Him. I have touched Him. And it changed me forever." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: 1 John 1:1-4 - Key Theme: Eyewitness testimony to the reality of Jesus Christ - Historical Context: John writing as the last living apostle - Emphasis: Physical, tangible experience with Jesus ("heard," "seen," "looked upon," "handled") - Purpose Statement: Fellowship with God and complete joy in believers - Connection: The Word of Life manifested in human form ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You Question Whether Jesus Really Existed: - Consider the historical evidence from multiple eyewitness accounts - Remember these weren't legends written centuries later - The apostles gained nothing earthly and died for their testimony - Ask yourself: would you die for something you knew was false? - Examine the transformation in the lives of the eyewitnesses If You Feel Like Your Faith Is Just Ideas or Rules: - Understand that Christianity is relationship with a Person, not a system - Know that Jesus became physically present because we couldn't reach God - Remember that faith is about knowing Jesus personally, not just knowing about Him - Allow the reality of who Jesus is to transform your daily experience - Let His life live in you rather than trying to follow external rules If You Feel Alone in Your Spiritual Journey: - Recognize that fellowship is a core purpose of John's message - Church isn't just a Sunday event but a family of believers - Connect with people who know your name and walk with you through struggles - Don't try to do life alone - God designed us for community - Find or create spaces where genuine spiritual fellowship can happen If Your Joy Feels Incomplete: - Understand that joy doesn't depend on pleasant circumstances - Remember that even good things like family have limitations - Don't base joy on what you have or what happens to you - Ground your joy in who Jesus is rather than temporary things - Seek the fullness of joy that comes through fellowship with Jesus If You Haven't Shared Your Faith Recently: - Ask yourself why you don't feel a nudge to share what you've experienced - Remember that healthy believers naturally spread the Good News - Consider what Jesus has done in your life that others need to hear - Be an eyewitness to His power and miracles in your own experience - Share your story of transformation and hope with others ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you've always thought of Jesus as just a historical figure, a good teacher, or even religious hype. But John's testimony calls us to something far greater - a personal encounter with the Living Christ. The same Jesus who walked dusty roads, ate with tax collectors, calmed storms, and rose from the dead is available to you today. Not as an idea to understand, but as a Person to know. Not as history to study, but as Life to experience. The little boy who splashed in Galilee became an old man who could say, "I have seen Jesus, heard Him, touched Him, and it changed me forever." Today, Jesus offers you the same life-changing encounter. Will you let His life live in you? ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Have you moved beyond seeing Jesus as just a historical figure or religious concept to experiencing Him as a living Person? What testimony do you have of His work in your life that others need to hear? The Gospel is more than hype, more than history - it's the Life of Jesus available to live in you today.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!This Celebration Sunday—also known as Vision Sunday—Pastor Billy Waters preached from Matthew 28 on the Great Commission. He reminded us that Jesus' command to “make disciples of all nations” is not optional but the central calling of the Church. Programs, praise, and property are good gifts, but without true discipleship, we miss the heart of our mission.Looking to Psalm 1 and Jesus' parables, Pastor Billy emphasized that deep roots in God's Word and presence always lead to greater fruit. Over the past year, we've seen this lived out in powerful ways: 40 baptisms, growing youth and children's ministries, more than 50 discipleship groups, and God's abundant provision through generosity.As a church, we are entering a new season with a refreshed vision statement: “Here as it is in heaven.” This captures our call to live out deeper roots in Jesus and greater fruit for Jesus—so that our homes, neighborhoods, and city reflect the reality of heaven.

We're great at sitting, but Jesus told us to go. From his passion for the gospel, family hunting stories, and even a bar room encounter that changed everything, Willie Robertson shares how the call of Jesus moves us out of comfort and into the Great Commission. Matthew 28 is not theory, it is movement: make disciples, baptize, teach. In Acts 18 we see a church on the move as Priscilla and Aquila opened their home, Apollos was corrected and sent, Paul heard God say “Do not be afraid, I am with you,” and whole households believed. He challenges us to run three checks that push us forward: check your pulse, check yourself, and check your stories. This is not about watching a few people on mission but about all of us moving together. What is one move you will make this week to share the gospel with a real person by name?

When you hear the phrase "The Great Commission," what is your initial reaction? There can be a tendency in the church to relegate the carrying out of this command to those who are "called," or perhaps to those of a certain personality type.

In this episode of Side Notes, Josh and Arch explore what it means to live out the Great Commandment and Great Commission. From behind-the-scenes stories and moments of levity to practical examples like explaining communion, baptism, and student ministry events, they show how faith is put into action every day. Reflecting on the church's roots in the neighborhood, they discuss how honoring the past shapes the future—equipping people to love God, love others, and make disciples in their schools, workplaces, and communities.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Andrew explains that we are called to be living witnesses in a divine courtroom, reflecting God's character to the world. Using Jesus as our perfect example, we are encouraged to live out the Great Commandment and Great Commission. The challenge is to move beyond just holding the title of Christian to living an authentic testimony. Despite the church's historical successes and failures, we, like a cracked mirror, can still reflect Jesus without being perfect.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49486935   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/ef3d3a6e   ☞ NEXT STEPS

Dr. Luke wove the stories of two cities named Antioch in his New Testament narrative. But each church chose a different response to God's compelling structure for the spread of the Gospel worldwide.

This sermon explores the church's mission to make disciples as commanded by Jesus in the Great Commission. It outlines Community Baptist Church's vision, mission statement, and core values, emphasizing the importance of being word-centered, reflecting Christ, and actively engaging in disciple-making. Pastor Joe Fant discusses how these principles guide the church's activities and future direction, rooting everything in biblical authority and the pursuit of spiritual growth.

Why is the Great Commission such a central theme in the life of a believer—and what makes it so "great"? In this episode, Scott MacLeod dives deep into the final words of Jesus in Matthew 28, unpacking the power, purpose, and promise behind the call to make disciples of all nations. Whether you're a seasoned missionary or just beginning to explore your faith, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to see the Great Commission not as a burden, but as a bold invitation into God's global mission.

In the third installment of our dive into game call makers, today we are joined by the co-owner of Black Label Game Calls. Russell Andrews is also a National Champion caller in many levels including the 2025 NWTF Gobbling Champion and the 2025 World Gobbling Champion. He also shares his testimony of how God has helped him through a trying time in his life.    Russell Andrews, Co-Owner and Operator of Black Label Game Calls, has been a consistent disrupter in the wild game call industry since July of 2022 when he and his partner, Jesse Martin, took their passion and transformed it into a product. When Russell's father was senselessly killed in May 2024 (article featured in “The Call” NWTF magazine), Russell's entire approach to cultivating his business shifted from being sales-focused to using turkey calling to spread the Gospel. Russell turned to his turkey calling family through all of the grief and anger, and poured his efforts into preparing for turkey calling contests, winning the Gobbling division of both the 2025 NWTF Grand National Calling Contest and the 2025 World Turkey Calling Contest. Russell's mission is very simple now — carry out the Great Commission using the platform that Black Label Game Calls has built.     www.blacklabelgamecalls.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

In this episode, Senior Executive Pastor Dr. Ben Lovvorn continues our Go! Make Disciples series with a lesson from Acts 8. This chapter focuses on a character we don't often hear about—Philip. He was obedient to the Holy Spirit's prompting and eager to take every opportunity to share the gospel, even with those who were outcasts or who seemed unapproachable. Philip truly took advantage of every opportunity to live out the Great Commission!  We would love for you to partner with us to support the mission of First Baptist Dallas, which includes creating biblical resources like this podcast, by giving online here: firstdallas.org/fbdgive.

God's heart has always been for ALL people. From the promise to Abraham in Genesis 12 to the Great Commission of Jesus in Mark 16, Scripture makes it clear: the gospel is for everyone, everywhere. In this powerful message, we explore how Jesus entrusted His mission—not to the flawless—but to the stubborn, faithless, and doubting disciples. And He does the same with us today.

Does studying classical philosophy have any relevance for missions today? In this episode, Alex and Scott talk with Dr. David Talcott, a philosopher and faculty member at New Saint Andrew's College, to discuss the intersection of philosophy, culture, and missions. They ask the famous question “What hath Athens to do with Jerusalem?”—whether philosophy and Scripture can meaningfully interact. Drawing from Acts 17, they explore how Paul's intellectual preparation and knowledge of Greek culture allowed him to engage with Stoic and Epicurean philosophers, modeling how missionaries today should understand and address the intellectual frameworks of their host cultures. The discussion broadens into how classical philosophy, particularly Plato and Aristotle, still speaks into modern challenges such as relativism, skepticism, and materialism. Dr. Talcott emphasizes that philosophy provides categories and arguments that can prepare hearts and minds for the gospel, acting as a kind of “preparatory grace.” Key Topics Covered: The question: “What hath Athens to do with Jerusalem?”—philosophy and theology in harmony Acts 17 as a model for missionary engagement with culture and thought Relevance of classical philosophy for confronting modern ideologies (materialism, relativism, skepticism) The role of “common grace” in pagan philosophies and cultures The movement to retrieve classical theology and its value for missions today Being a godly husband and father isn't about one big heroic act, it's about showing up every day. Men need a simple, practical plan to stay faithful in the daily grind. How To Lead Your Family is a no-nonsense guide, from author Joel Beeke, that gives the biblical foundation, Christ-centered encouragement, practical advice for men to purse the high standards that God calls them too.

When you've been transformed by God's love, you can't help but want others to experience the same grace and freedom. But how do you share it without scaring them away or offending them? For most Christians, “evangelism” is an intimidating word that suggests handing out tracts to strangers or doing other awkward things. But what if there was a more organic, more authentic way to share your faith with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers? Dave Ferguson shares five simple, straightforward practices that will allow any believer to do just that. And by consistently living them out, you can affect not just individual lives but your entire neighborhood and community—one person at a time.

Sunday evening message from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

Matthew 28:18-20Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

In the first message of our "Welcome to The Ridge" series, Pastor Josh takes us back to 1985, when Chestnut Ridge Church began with a small group of people who simply wanted to love God and love their neighbors. As we look at Jesus' Great Commandment and Great Commission, we're reminded that the foundation of our church has always been Christ—and that His mission is still what leads us forward today. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

Many churches treat evangelism and discipleship as two separate steps, but Jesus gave one seamless mission: make disciples. In this episode, we unpack the Great Commission in its original language, explore how Jesus modeled disciple-making before His followers fully believed, and clarify the difference between discipleship (becoming like Jesus) and disciple-making (helping others begin and continue that journey). You'll discover how connection, conversation, baptism, and teaching all fit together — and how every believer is empowered to live as an everyday missionary.

In credobaptist traditions, we baptize new Christians upon their profession of faith in Christ. But what happens when, a few years later, a new experience of God's grace makes me question my prior baptism? How can we separate our subjective experiences of God's promises from the objective nature of those promises? In this episode, we respond to a listener question and discuss how the Reformation tradition understood baptism, what the animating force of baptism is, and the connections between baptism and discipleship.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Why We Love Our Listeners(2:46) Can/Should I Get Re-Baptized?(5:57) Who's Speaking in Baptism?(13:31) Differences Among Paedobaptist Traditions (20:22) What "Conversion" Is and Isn't(25:34) Coming Back to the Great Commission
