A 22-minute audio guided meditation in Mark's Gospel, in the contemplative Christian tradition. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.' Mark 1:14-15 We pray with this very short section of text today, because I was struck by the dramatic tension between John’s arrest and Jesus launching forward into his proclamation of the good news, the good tidings! That the kingdom of God is at hand. It is a tiny foreshadowing of the Paschal mystery, that new life follows all our deaths, unfathomable as that may be. I wonder what this co-mingling of treachery and hope have to say to you today? What signs that the Kingdom of God is at hand are apparent to you, as you pause to attend the Spirit today? Blessings Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God's love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.

From “In the Beginning” to Amen // The New Testament Jesus Came to Set Captives Free… Luke 4:17-21 (NLT)“The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord's favor has come.' He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. Then he began to speak to them, ‘The Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled this very day!'” Jesus Came to Defeat the Works of Darkness… John 10:10 (NIV)“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” Colossians 2:15 (NLT)“He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities.”  1 John 3:8b-10 (NLT)The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God's family do not make a practice of sinning, because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning, because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God. Jesus Came to Take Upon Himself the Sin of the World… 1 John 3:5 (NLT)“Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.” Hebrews 9:28 (AMP)“So, Christ, having been offered once and once for all to bear [as a burden] the sins of many, will appear a second time [when he returns to earth], not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly and confidently waiting for Him.” Jesus Came to Take Authority Over and Ultimately ‘Destroy' Death…  2 Timothy 1:10 (NLT)“And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News.” Hebrews 2:14-15 (NLT)“Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” How Does It Work in Community and Culture? Revelation 22:17, 20-21 (NLT)“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.' Let anyone who hears this say, ‘Come.' Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.  He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon!' Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's holy people.” Revelation 21:3-5 (NLT)“I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, ‘Look, God's home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.' And the one sitting on the throne said, ‘Look, I am making everything new!' And then he said to me, ‘Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.'”

If you were to be asked to write on a piece of paper just one brief statement about why Jesus came to earth, what would you write?  Many valid reasons could be given, but what if you had to list only one?  Today's message gives us some insight of what happened one day "When Jesus Came to Jericho."  This will shine a bright light on the real purpose of why he came.

Guided Question Have you merely acknowledged Jesus as Savior, or have you truly received Him as King—and what would change in your life if He were fully reigning? Summary This episode explores the significance of the genealogy in Matthew 1, revealing that the long list of names is far more than a record of ancestry. In Jewish culture, genealogy carried tremendous power. A person's ancestry could determine his eligibility for the priesthood, his rights within the covenant community, and his claim to Israel's throne. Matthew therefore begins his Gospel by identifying Jesus as “the son of David and the son of Abraham,” establishing both His Jewish heritage and His royal credentials. The sermon examines Matthew's genealogy alongside Luke's, showing how the two genealogies emphasize different aspects of Jesus' lineage. Matthew traces the royal line through David and Solomon, while Luke traces another branch of David's family through Nathan. The discussion then addresses the curse placed on Jeconiah, whose descendants were disqualified from sitting on David's throne. Through the virgin birth and Joseph's legal adoption of Jesus, Christ receives the legal rights of the royal line without inheriting Jeconiah's cursed bloodline. Luke's genealogy is then understood as tracing Jesus' physical lineage through Mary, establishing that Jesus is both legally and naturally connected to David. Matthew's genealogy contains another striking feature: the inclusion of four women—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Their stories include immorality, foreign ancestry, and complicated family histories. Rather than presenting Israel's history as a story of flawless people and glorious kings, Matthew exposes the sin running throughout the royal lineage. Matthew also organizes the genealogy into three groups of fourteen generations. The first period, from Abraham to David, can be characterized by impurity; the second, from David to the Babylonian deportation, by idolatry; and the final period, from the deportation to Christ, by obscurity and bondage. Israel's history reveals a people who repeatedly failed to live out God's purposes and ultimately needed salvation from their sins. The sermon then turns the genealogy toward the listener. Beneath the appearance of successful and respectable lives can lie the same patterns of impurity, idolatry, and bondage. People may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with sin, pursuing status, worshiping possessions or accomplishments, and eventually becoming controlled by the very things they once thought they controlled. Without Jesus Christ, humanity follows a similar trajectory to Israel. Jesus came not merely to be acknowledged as Savior but to reign as King. True transformation occurs when a person receives Christ, bows to His authority, and allows Him to take the throne of his or her life. The invitation of Jesus is not simply to wear the label of Christian but to become a child of God through genuine surrender and faith. The episode concludes with the picture of believers being brought into Christ's royal family. Those who truly receive Jesus become heirs and offspring of Abraham, part of His royal lineage, and children of the living God. The genealogy that begins Matthew's Gospel ultimately becomes an invitation: Jesus is the King—receive Him, submit to Him, and let Him reign.   Episode Outline 1. Why Matthew Begins With a Genealogy Genealogy carried enormous significance in Jewish culture. Ancestry could determine priesthood, covenant privileges, and royal legitimacy. Matthew uses Jesus' genealogy to establish His identity as King. 2. Jesus' Royal Credentials Jesus is the Son of Abraham and Son of David. The Davidic covenant promised an enduring throne. Jesus is presented as the legitimate Messianic King. 3. Matthew and Luke's Genealogies Matthew emphasizes the royal line through Solomon. Luke traces another branch of David's family through Nathan. Together they demonstrate Jesus' legal and physical connection to David. The curse of Jeconiah makes Jesus' virgin birth and adoption especially significant. 4. The Unexpected People in Jesus' Lineage Matthew includes Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Their stories expose immorality, foreign ancestry, and human failure. The genealogy challenges pride in Israel's supposedly glorious heritage. 5. Israel's Threefold Pattern Abraham to David — Impurity David to the Deportation — Idolatry Deportation to Christ — Obscurity and Bondage Israel's history demonstrates its need for salvation from sin. 6. Our Own Spiritual Genealogy Outward success can hide inward sin. Impurity can lead to idolatry and eventually bondage. Without Christ, people can become controlled by the things they once sought to control. 7. Jesus Came to Be King Jesus offers more than forgiveness or religious identification. Receiving Christ means embracing His authority. Genuine Christianity produces a changed lifestyle, not merely Christian rhetoric. 8. The Invitation of Royalty Those who receive Christ become children of God. Believers become heirs and offspring of Abraham. The King who fulfills David's promise invites us to let Him reign in our lives. Key Takeaways The genealogy establishes Jesus' royal credentials. Matthew identifies Him as the Son of David and Son of Abraham. Jesus is uniquely qualified to be the promised King. His legal and physical connections to David establish His claim to the throne. Israel's pedigree did not make them righteous. Ancestral privilege became distorted when people relied on heritage rather than faithful obedience. The genealogy exposes Israel's sin. Impurity, idolatry, and bondage characterize much of Israel's history. The genealogy includes unlikely people. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba demonstrate that God's purposes operate through imperfect and unexpected people. Respectability can hide spiritual bondage. A life that looks successful outwardly may contain hidden impurity, misplaced worship, and growing enslavement. Jesus came to restore and liberate. He came to save His people from their sins and bring them into genuine freedom. Christianity is more than acknowledgment. Receiving Christ means embracing Him, submitting to Him, and recognizing His authority. Jesus must occupy the throne. A transformed Christian life comes when Christ becomes King rather than simply being an acknowledged religious figure. Believers become part of God's royal family. Those who receive Christ become children of God and heirs of the promises associated with Abraham and David.

Genesis 12:1–3 — God's promise to Abraham includes blessing the nations. 2 Samuel 7:12–16 — God promises David an enduring throne.

Jesus Came To Save | Matthew 1:21Before we dive into the words of Jesus, we need to understand who Jesus is and why He came.In this special prelude to our new Red Letters sermon series, we turn to Matthew 1:21 (NIV) and discover the purpose behind Jesus' coming: He came to save.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus spoke words that challenged, encouraged, confronted, and transformed the people around Him. And those same words still have the power to transform our lives today. But before we explore what Jesus said, we first have to understand who He is and what He came to do.Jesus didn't simply come to be a teacher, moral example, or historical figure. He came to save His people from their sins.As we begin Red Letters, this message lays the foundation for everything that follows. The words of Jesus matter because of who Jesus is—and His mission was always centered on bringing salvation and restoration to a broken world.“And you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” — Matthew 1:21 (NIV)This is where the story begins. Jesus came to save.Join us as we begin Red Letters and discover how the words of Jesus can still speak into our lives, transform our hearts, and change the way we live today.If this message encouraged you, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear the good news of Jesus.#RedLetters #JesusCameToSave #Jesus #Salvation #Matthew121 #Gospel #ChristianSermon #RiverviewChristianThis week's message is from our Lead Pastor, John Letterman.Let's Connect: http://bit.ly/3XbRE9TFree Access To RightNow Media:https://app.rightnowmedia.org/join/rccreadingSocial Media:@riverviewchristian on Facebook and InstagramWebsite:riverviewchristian.churchSupport the show

Guided Question Do I truly know Jesus and experience His presence in my life, or am I simply trying to live by Christian rules without experiencing the new birth He came to give? Summary This episode explores Matthew 1:18–25 and the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. Dr. Robert Lewis emphasizes that Jesus' birth is unique not simply because a baby was born, but because God Himself entered humanity. Matthew presents Jesus as both the Son of David, with a legitimate claim to the throne, and the divine Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit. The story begins with Mary and Joseph, whose response to God's extraordinary plan demonstrates remarkable submission. Mary does not understand how God's promise will be fulfilled, yet she responds, “Be it done to me according to thy word.” Joseph likewise obeys God despite the personal shame and potential consequences of taking Mary as his wife. Their lives demonstrate that God's greatest works are often entrusted to people who are humble and willing to submit to His truth. Dr. Lewis then emphasizes the importance of believing the virgin birth as a literal work of the Holy Spirit. He argues that Christianity cannot be separated from biblical revelation: religion without revelation leaves people with nothing more than subjective beliefs and human imagination. The sermon then turns to the name Emmanuel—“God with us.” Jesus did not merely come to point people toward God or give them a better moral code. He came to make a relationship with God possible. He is not merely a teacher of truth; He is the truth, and He calls people not simply to follow His teachings but to receive Him. Finally, Dr. Lewis explains that the birth of Jesus points toward an even greater miracle: the new birth. Jesus was born so that people could be spiritually reborn. Christianity is therefore not merely about keeping rules, attending church, or proving ourselves worthy before God. It is about receiving Christ, being forgiven of sin, and experiencing His presence within us. The message closes with a personal invitation to respond to Christ. Just as Mary and Joseph submitted themselves to God's Word without fully understanding what He was doing, listeners are challenged to surrender themselves to Christ, receive Him, and experience the new life He came to give. Outline 1. The Uniqueness of Jesus' Birth Matthew introduces Jesus' birth as an extraordinary beginning. Jesus is both the Son of David and the divine Son of God. His conception by the Holy Spirit makes His birth unlike any other. 2. Mary and Joseph: Submission to God Mary faces an impossible and potentially shameful situation. She responds with trust and submission to God's Word. Joseph obeys despite the personal cost and public consequences. Their humility makes them examples of responsive faith. 3. The Virgin Birth and Biblical Revelation Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. The virgin birth is presented as a foundational truth of Christianity. Faith must be grounded in God's revelation rather than personal preference or imagination. 4. Jesus Came to Save from Sin Israel expected the Messiah to deliver them from Roman oppression. Jesus came to address the deeper problem: humanity's bondage to sin. True deliverance begins when we stop focusing on everyone else's problems and allow Christ to deal with our own sin. 5. Emmanuel: God With Us Isaiah's prophecy points forward to Jesus. Jesus is the greater fulfillment of “Emmanuel.” He does not merely point the way to God—He makes relationship with God possible. 6. The Greater Miracle: The New Birth Jesus' birth prepares the way for our spiritual rebirth. Christianity is more than morality, religious activity, or following rules. We must receive Christ and experience His indwelling presence. Jesus was born so that we might be born again. Key Takeaways God works through humble people who are willing to submit to His Word. Faith does not require us to understand everything before we obey. Jesus came to deliver us from sin, not merely from difficult circumstances. Jesus is Emmanuel—God with us. Christianity is about a relationship with Christ, not merely religious rules or moral behavior. The miracle of Jesus' birth points to the greater miracle of the new birth. Receiving Christ means surrendering ourselves to Him and trusting His promise to transform our lives. Scripture References Matthew 1:18–25 — Jesus is conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to Mary. Luke 1:26–38 — Mary receives God's announcement and submits to His Word. Isaiah 7:10–16 — The sign of Emmanuel points to a greater future fulfillment. Philippians 2:5–8 — Christ humbles Himself and takes on human form. Hebrews 1:1–3 — God speaks fully through His Son. John 3:1–8 — Jesus teaches the necessity of being born again. Matthew 1:21 — Jesus comes to save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:23 — Jesus is Emmanuel, “God with us.” Recorded 12.19.82

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: Jesus announces his mission clearly: to bring good news to the poor, liberty to captives, and freedom to the oppressed. Frank Pavone reflects on why that mission necessarily challenges Christians to defend unborn children. If Christ calls his followers to stand with the vulnerable and free the oppressed, we cannot overlook those who are completely defenseless in the womb. The fight to free the unborn from abortion belongs at the heart of Christian mission.

Our priorities can steer our lives. If we put God's desires first, we will end up in different places than if we put our desires first. By Pastor Shawn Lyons.

We cannot borrow someone else's faith, and there are things others may ask of us that we cannot or must not give. By Pastor Shawn Lyons.

Uncle Si lets slip the very Si-like thing he says whenever he catches his reflection in the mirror. Jase, Al, and Gordon happily promote Si to elder statesman of the Robertson clan while they trace James' warning about gossip, slander, bitterness, and the unruly tongue. Gordon recalls the church hurt that consumed him until the Lord's Prayer forced him to reconsider forgiveness and the way he viewed the man who wounded him. The guys discover how remembering that every person bears God's image can transform relationships, unite unlikely people in Jesus, and replace the fear of death with real freedom.

The wise person works to make the most of every opportunity for God. By Pastor Shawn Lyons.

Discover the transformative power of God's grace through the Apostle Paul's incredible testimony in 1 Timothy 1:12-17. This powerful message explores how God chooses the most unlikely people to display His mercy and grace. Learn about Paul's honest confession of his past as a blasphemer and persecutor, and how God's appointment transformed him into a powerful minister of the gospel. Understanding grace, Christian testimony, biblical transformation, and God's mercy are central themes that will encourage anyone who feels they've gone too far from God. The message examines the difference between ignorant and willful unbelief, showing how God's patience extends to those who oppose Him out of misunderstanding. Explore the concept of divine appointment and calling, discovering how God places each believer in His will for specific purposes. Paul's declaration as the chief of sinners reveals the ongoing struggle with sin that every believer faces, while his transformation serves as hope for others. The rescue mission of Jesus Christ demonstrates that salvation isn't about helping ourselves but about God completely rescuing us when we're incapable of saving ourselves. This biblical exposition on grace and redemption shows how God uses our stories of failure and restoration to encourage others and display His transformative power. Whether you're struggling with past mistakes, questioning your worthiness, or seeking to understand God's grace more deeply, this message provides biblical insight into how God's mercy operates in unexpected ways. The passage concludes with Paul's burst of worship, demonstrating that understanding God's grace naturally leads to grateful praise and living as displays of His redemptive power.

The day Jesus returns, is not the day to decide to get ready for His return.  Starting living your life READY.  By Pastor Shawn Lyons

What does it mean that Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh? What is the meaning of Romans 8:3-4?

What is the Church? Is it simply a weekly gathering, a religious institution, or something far greater? In this episode, Joseph Mattera explores the biblical nature of the Church as God's covenant family, Christ's Body, and His primary instrument for advancing His Kingdom in the earth. Discover why Jesus didn't come merely to establish another religion, but to build a people who embody His life, reflect His character, and transform the world. If we misunderstand the Church, we will misunderstand our mission.

Jesus came to reveal the Father's love, bring salvation, and restore humanity to God. In this message, explore the purpose of Christ's coming and the life-changing hope found in Him. Be encouraged to embrace His mission and live in the fullness of His grace and truth.

In these verses, John tells us that Jesus came to rescue us from our sinfulness and to destroy the work of the devil.

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 NotesJesus Defines His Mission"I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:32)Jesus Did Not Come to Call the RighteousThe spiritually self-sufficient do not hear the Gospel call.Christianity is not for people who think they have it all together.The Pharisees believed they could be righteous apart from Jesus.Grace begins when we recognize our need.Jesus Came to Call SinnersJesus called Levi, a tax collector, to follow Him.No one is beyond the reach of God's grace.Those who know their need are ready to hear His call.Jesus welcomes broken people into relationship with Himself.Jesus Calls Sinners to RepentanceRepentance means a change of mind and direction.It is part of God's gracious gift.Repentance leads to life, freedom, and flourishing.Following Jesus means leaving behind the old way of life.Discussion Questions1. Does everyone need forgiveness of sins to be saved? Are there any truly righteous people?2. If someone is not convinced of their need for forgiveness of sins (perhaps they don't identify as a sinner), how might you help them understand the gospel?3. Define repentance.4. In what way is repentance still part of God's gift of grace?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

Division is inevitable when Jesus returns because some will simply not believe in Him.
