The post “Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.'” appeared first on Key Life.
In this sermon, Pastor Jim elaborates on the purpose of Jesus Christ's coming and how God is proud to call us His children through the righteousness of Christ.
In our new sermon series, The Life God Has Always Wanted For You, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how Jesus isn't offering a weekly visit; He's offering a permanent home, including: 1. Jesus Came to Give You Abundant Life, 2. Spiritual Disciplines Are invitations, Not Requirements, and 3. Abiding Means Making Your Home in Jesus. Spiritual disciplines are not about proving something to God. They are about exploring what it means to live with Him. The scripture text is John 10:10; 14:1-6; 15:1-11. This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, June 8, 2025.
Jesus came for Levi, Levi's friends and for sinners!
Pastor Paul Roberts & Pastor Brandon Westmoreland lay out the new vision for the At The Table Podcast along with diving into what is means to live & act with a sense of urgency for the Gospel. What does it look like to live on mission in our Church, neighborhoods, workplaces, and families.
SERMON: JESUS CAME TO HELP - LET HIMSCRIPTURE: Hebrews 2:10-18 SERIES: HOLDING ON TO THE GREATER
Message given by Apostle David Kaufman at Holy Life Tabernacle Church on 05/252025.
In this study we look at what was going on in the world when Jesus arrived and how understanding the cultural context helps us understand the Scriptures. Can we help you with your walk with God? We'd love to hear from you! https://www.thebibleway.com/contact
Jesus Came To Seek & Save The Lost!Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”I felt led to share with you this morning a quote from our new Pope. It was one week ago today that the Holy Spirit chose a new Pope. Tony was asking me last week about the Pope. What do we know about him and his beliefs? What kind of Pope will he be, etc. I explained he had only been Pope for a few hours, and we should maybe let him get settled in a bit before we start trying to decide what kind of Pope he will be. The other day, I read this quote on Facebook, and I fell in love with it. This is exactly the message I feel the Lord wants to get out there. This is the message I think He wants us all to share. One that many may not like. Here is what Pope Leo XIV. said:" Brothers, sisters…I speak to you, especially to those who no longer believe, no longer hope, no longer pray, because they think God has left.To those who are fed up with scandals, with misused power, with the silence of a Church that sometimes seems more like a palace than a home.I, too, was angry with God.I, too, saw good people die, children suffer, grandparents cry without medicine.And yes… there were days when I prayed and only felt an echo.But then I discovered something:God doesn't shout. God whispers.And sometimes He whispers from the mud, from pain, from a grandmother who feeds you without having anything.I don't come to offer you perfect faith.I come to tell you that faith is a walk with stones, puddles, and unexpected hugs.I'm not asking you to believe in everything.I'm asking you not to close the door. Give a chance to the God who waits for you without judgment.I'm just a priest who saw God in the smile of a woman who lost her son... and yet she cooked for others.That changed me.So if you're broken, if you don't believe, if you're tired of the lies...come anyway. With your anger, your doubt, your dirty backpack.No one here will ask you for a VIP card.Because this Church, as long as I breathe, will be a home for the homeless, and a rest for the weary.God doesn't need soldiers.He needs brothers.And you, yes, you...are one of them."Robert Prevost (Leo XIV)I felt like the Lord wanted me to read this to you today as a reminder that God is merciful. His mercies never end. God wants us to call back His children. He wants them to know His love. He wants them to know how special they are. He wants them to know how much they are wanted. We live in a culture that always wants the newest and the best things. We live in a throw-away culture. We live in a world that thinks it is ok to sell people. Men, women, and children are stolen and sold into slavery. Marriages and families are under attack. Our children are sold drugs. Children at younger and younger ages are vaping nicotine. Before they are even out of middle school, they are addicted to Nicotine, and they don't even want to stop because they are in love with the flavors, cotton candy, and sour apple.The world is searching for God. They just don't know that He is the answer. The world is searching for love, and yet they can't seem to find it. We need to show them the love they are searching for. We need to show them the unconditional love that God shows us. The love that does not judge. The love that accepts them for who they are, right where they are. This is what we are called to. We are called to be the face of Christ to those we meet. Are we doing this? Are we letting those who are not perfect know that they are welcome at church? Are we letting those who are struggling know that God is with them through it all?Do we let others see our flaws? Are we real with people? Sometimes we don't want others to see that we aren't perfect. We put on a good front. We let others see only the very best of us. We never let others see that we struggle. We never let anyone know that we have questioned God, or that we wrestle with some of the teachings of the Church. We don't let anyone know that there have been times when we have felt abandoned by God, or that He wasn't hearing our prayers.Jesus didn't have a perfect life. He didn't have an easy life. Sometimes I think we can get caught up in thinking that we have to be a perfect example of a Catholic in order to be an example of Christ. We have to show everyone how much we pray and how much we go to church and how religious we are, so that they can see we love Jesus. People don't need to see our perfect lives to know we love Jesus. They need to see that we can still love Jesus when things are hard. They need to see that we can turn back to Jesus when we mess up, when we fall away, when we do things we are not proud of.People need to know the church is not full of perfect people, but that it is filled with people who are trying to be better. People who get back up when life knocks them down, not because they are strong but because God lives inside of them and He is their strength. They need to see that even the priests struggle with trusting the Lord, or understanding His plan. They need to see that even people who go to church every single day still go to confession because they still sin. They are not getting it all right.One thing I love that the Pope said that I think a lot of people might not like is, “I'm not asking you to believe in everything. I'm asking you not to close the door. Give a chance to the God who waits for you without judgment.” We can sometimes get caught up in what those around us believe or don't believe. We can nag them about not believing what we believe. We do this with the best intentions. We do this because we want them to be up there in heaven with us. We do this because we love them. I love how Pope Leo is giving us permission to not worry so much if our loved ones believe all the things that the Catholic Church teaches. He is giving us a starting point to reach out to them and just show them love. That statement can be an open door.Maybe your loved one doesn't believe all that the Catholic Church, or any Church, teaches. That's ok, but can they at least open the door to the possibility that there is a God that loves them? Are they open to learning more about a God who loves them and waits for them without judgment? Is there a way that instead of harping on the things we wish our children were doing right in the Church, we could focus on just reassuring them that God loves them? He loves them even if they aren't going to church. He loves them even if they are living with their boyfriend or girlfriend before marriage. He loves them even if they are drinking too much or doing drugs. He loves them even if they are in prison, have hurt people, or have done terrible things. God still loves them and is waiting for them without judgment.What if we all looked at how we are living our lives, how we are interacting with others, and asked ourselves if we could change anything we have been doing to be more open to others? Is there anything we could do differently to help others know that we are not perfect and they don't have to be either? What is one thing you can do today that will show someone how loved they are by a God who is waiting for them without judgment?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening. Lord, thank you so much for giving us a new Pope to take over for Pope Francis. Lord, you are so good to us. Please help us to be your face to others. Help us let others know how loved they are by you. Help us to make people feel welcome at church. Help us to be real with people so they can be real with us. Help us to help people see that you are waiting for them without judgment. You love them just as they are and you meet them right where they are. We love you Lord and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in October 2024 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Jesus didn't come to condemn us—we were already condemned. He came to save. John 3:17–18 explains that judgment is our default, but salvation is God's gracious offer through faith in Christ. This message highlights that believing in Jesus isn't about religion or good deeds—it's about receiving the only remedy for our lostness.

Homily - 5th Sunday of Lent - Jesus Came to Save, Not to Condemn
Send us a textIn Week 3 of our Jesus Is ___ series, we explore Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem through the lens of Matthew 21:1–17. This moment isn't just a parade—it's a proclamation: Jesus is on a mission to reclaim His throne in Jerusalem and in our hearts.Back then, Rome said you could worship Jesus—as long as you obeyed Caesar. But Jesus made it clear: He's not just a teacher or prophet. He is Lord and King.There can't be more than one ruler in your life.

Did you know that many people of Jesus' day missed it? Expecting a political king, they overlooked the signs. Jesus came not to conquer Rome but to save souls. He healed, taught, and fulfilled prophecy, yet many rejected Him. With only three weeks until Easter, this week, we'll explore why Jesus came—and ensure we don't miss too.

Jesus Followers Are Sinners Who Have a Savior Because “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners . . .”; Is Jesus Your Savior Too? MESSAGE SUMMARY: We are all sinners, but we now have a Savior – Jesus. As Paul tells us, in 1 Timothy 1:15-16, that the Gospel provides Salvation for all followers of Jesus, including the worst of sinners -- Paul: “The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.". Also, Paul, in 1 Timothy 2:3b-6, further points out that God wants all of us to be saved by His Grace through Jesus if we only, as sinners like Paul, reach out to bring Jesus into our lives: “God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.”. It is only because of Jesus the Christ that we receive the healing that we need. “I am a sinner who now has a Savior – do you”? TODAY'S PRAYER: Abba Father, I open my clenched fists to surrender everything you have given to me. Reestablish my identity in you — not in my family, my work, my accomplishments, or what others think of me. Cleanse the things in me that are not conformed to your will. By faith I unite my will to yours so that the likeness of Jesus Christ may be formed in me. In his name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 85). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Loneliness. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Presence. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

In Part 3 of The Way, we explore what Jesus truly offered: a path to becoming like Him. Many of us have adopted a version of faith that focuses on behavior, beliefs, or rituals—but Jesus called His followers disciples, and that word meant something powerful. It wasn't just about learning; it was about becoming.Timestamps:3:39 - Jesus Came to Offer a Way to Follow10:16 - Who Are You Becoming?19:02 - The One Thing That Defines a Disciple27:02 - How We Are Being Formed (And Why It Matters)
