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)

In this powerful message from Calvary, Pastor George Sawyer unpacks one of the most profound accounts of restoration in Scripture—the story of Mephibosheth from 2 Samuel 9. Discover how God's restoration not only heals brokenness but multiplies blessings beyond their original state. Through the kindness King David showed to Mephibosheth, we see a picture of how Jesus extends grace to us, restoring identity, purpose, and relationship with Him. This message challenges us to embrace spiritual hunger, remain in God's presence, and extend restoration to others.

From the early days of Jesus' ministry, He was disdained by the Jewish authorities (Mk 2:7, 16, 24, 3:2, etc.), and He was even discounted by His very own family members who tried to persuade Him to end His ministry (3:31–25). While He grew in popularity in the regions He visited, there always remained a sad reality that those who should have been closest to Him did not receive His teaching in faith. Mark 6:1–6 recounts how Jesus dealt in the face of opposition from the very region who should have embraced Him as their own. How will you receive Jesus?
One of the greatest challenges to God's pure love is a heart and mind stuck on self. Jesus once went to a dinner to confront those very kinds of hearts and minds. Listen along to how the lessons from Jesus call us to a lowly life, and a humble love. Can we help you with your walk with God? We'd love to hear from you! https://www.thebibleway.com/contact/send-a-message.
Why does Jesus sit with tax collectors and sinners? Message by Pastor Eddy Melendez
Micah Klutinoty in Week 44 of the Behold The Lamb series | John 12:44-50
The love that we are called to as moms is not easy. I was reminded of this as I spent most of the past month sick and yet still had three kiddos to care for. The temptation to whine and complain and get frustrated was real! In the middle of it, the Lord drew me to the example he set before us of his servant love. And he showed me that not only am I called to that towards my kids, but that is how he treats me. As we are pouring of ourselves onto our children, Christ is pouring of himself unto us.

In this powerful message, Pastor Josh McPherson continues the Church on Fire series by diving into 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, reminding us that true faith is built not on human wisdom or eloquence, but on the power of God. Paul's message to the Corinthians was simple yet profound: Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Pastor Josh warns against modern-day distortions of the gospel that diminish the necessity of Christ's sacrificial death, highlighting the importance of the cross as the centerpiece of our faith. Christ came to die.Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.
How does Jesus seek and save lost sinners. God decreed the plan of salvation from before man was created. Using scripture, Travis explains how the plan of God finds sinners and saves them from His wrath. Do you ever wonder if you have done too many terrible sins to warrant and receive God's forgiveness and salvation. Did Jesus really die for ALL… The post Jesus Came to Seek and Save the Lost, Part 3 | Jesus Seeks Lost Sinners appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.
What does Jesus mean when He says, He seeks lost sinners? Jesus came on a rescue mission to search, find, rescue, save, and deliver the people the father gave to Him. Jesus, as the Christ, continues to seek and save sinners. Travis gives scriptural refences to support what Jesus meant when He says, He seeks lost sinners. _________ Series: Jesus Seeks Lost Sinners… The post Jesus Came to Seek and Save the Lost, Part 2 | Jesus Seeks Lost Sinners appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost. The mission of the Messiah was to seek sinners and offer salvation. Jesus' mission has not changed. Scripture says, “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” That is everyone, past, present, and future. Jesus came to save people from the gravest danger known to man. It is the fate… The post Jesus Came to Seek and Save the Lost, Part 1| Jesus Seeks Lost Sinners appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.
Pastor Mike Abendroth preaches Ephesians 2:1-10 - Why Jesus Came to Earth, Part 3
Gospel Reading: Luke 19:1-10At that time, Jesus was passing through Jericho. And there was a man named Zacchaios; he was a chief collector, and rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaios, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today." So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." And Zacchaios stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."
