This sermon centers on the transformative power of divine grace, illustrated through the encounter between Jesus and a repentant woman at a Pharisee's dinner. It reveals that grace uniquely welcomes the broken, exposes the hypocrisy of self-righteousness, and deepens one's understanding of forgiveness through humility and faith. The parable of the two debtors underscores that those who recognize the magnitude of their forgiveness are moved to love and worship with greater intensity. The passage challenges believers to examine their hearts—whether they are seated at the table judging others or kneeling at Jesus' feet in gratitude—and calls for a life transformed by grace, marked by genuine worship, mercy, and a posture of humility rather than condemnation. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that salvation is not earned by works but received by faith, and that true discipleship flows from a heart overwhelmed by grace.

What does it actually mean that God “rested” in Genesis 1?Most people assume it means stopping, relaxing, or taking a break. But in the ancient world, “rest” didn't mean inactivity—it meant enthronement.In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores how Genesis 1 presents God not as exhausted, but as taking His place as King over creation.That changes everything.

You can spend your life chasing success and still miss what matters most. Jesus offers a different path—one where true greatness isn’t about getting ahead, but about using your life to serve in ways that actually make an impact.

Why did Jesus come? Was He just a teacher, a miracle worker, or a moral example — or did He come for something far greater? In Episode 3 of Meeting Jesus: God With Us, we explore the central message of Christianity: the cross. The Bible teaches that Jesus came to save sinners. This episode explains the doctrine of substitutionary atonement — how Jesus died in our place, bore our sin, satisfied God's justice, and rose again for our justification. Using key passages such as Romans 3:23, Isaiah 53:5, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Mark 10:45, and Romans 4:25, we examine: The real problem of sin Why God's justice matters What the cross accomplished What substitutionary atonement means Why the resurrection confirms salvation How to personally respond to Jesus The cross is not symbolic. It is the center of the Christian faith. Without it, there is no forgiveness, no reconciliation, and no hope. If you've ever wondered what Jesus' death really means — or how to respond to it — this episode will give you a clear, Bible-based explanation of the gospel.

In ancient architecture, the cornerstone was the first stone laid, and it had to be the most perfectly cut stone and the strongest stone. Because, you see, what the cornerstone is, the house is. If the dimensions of the cornerstone are off, the house is off. If the cornerstone is true, the house is true. If the cornerstone crumbles in any way, the entire house will be compromised or lost. All of this is the background to when Peter says this about Jesus: “Come to him, to that living Capstone which is the Cornerstone, rejected by men but chosen by God, for it is written, ‘Whoever trusts in him will never be put to shame.'” This metaphor of the cornerstone tells us 1) Jesus is to be our life's foundation, 2) Jesus is our federal head, and 3) Jesus is to be the love of our life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 12, 1993. Series: Splendor in the Furnace: 1 Peter, Part 1. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-8.

We are living in an unprecedented time in history. The song “Come, Jesus, Come,” written by Stephen McWhirter and beautifully sung by Sister Nadine, serves as a powerful reminder that Jesus is the only and ultimate answer. As Brother Singh stated, we are sick to death of the evil, confusion, and corruption of this world. We long for the return of Jesus, as KING of kings and Lord of lords, and the establishment of the Kingdom of God on this planet.  Come, Jesus, Come!” Note: We apologize for the poor sound qualityat the start of this message.

The Samaritan Woman “Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water. He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” John 4:1-26 NIV Who were the Samaritans? Who was the Samaritan Woman? What is the living water Jesus offered her? “On the last and greatest day of the festival Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.” John 7:37-39 NIV “Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” They came out of the town and made their way toward him. Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers. They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.” John 4:28,29, 39-42 NIV The three-fold invitation of Jesus: Come to Jesus “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” John 7:37,38 NIV Leave your broken cisterns “Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town…” John 4:28 NIV “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.” Jeremiah 2:13 NIV Immerse yourself in the water

Greetings, my friends. Tony Williams here. Welcome to SELDI - (Summit Evergreen Leader Development Insights).God promises us "Rest". This message will encourage you and give you rest. The weight of big goals that we set with God can feel holy and heavy at the same time. We open a different way forward: "rest" as a promise, not a luxury. Guided by the words of Jesus—“Come to me… and I will give you rest”—we explore how leaders, parents, and creators can stop forcing outcomes and start living from an intimate relationship with God. The mindset shift is simple and brave: trust the One who calls you to also carry you, and let your work flow from an "overflow" of His presence rather than pressure.God gives us the details for what rest actually looks like in real life. It starts with priority—seeking God first, meeting Him in Scripture, and letting the Holy Spirit speak a specific promise into your current season. From there, execution becomes lighter, joyful, and more focused. You still plan, lead, and deliver, but you refuse the lie that God's love must be earned or results must be manufactured. Instead, you work from overflow. God reveals the truth about the myth of busyness, naming it a tactic that distracts us from the Source of our strength and clarity.When you are weary, burdened, or simply stuck in hustle mode, this conversation offers practical steps and strong encouragement: speak confessions of trust, carve a quiet space, and hold fast to the promises God highlights for you. Expect God to give you renewed peace, sharper decisions, and a pace shaped by grace. He who promised is faithful, and He will do it. If this message lifts your heart, share it with a friend who needs rest today, subscribe for more weekly encouragement, and leave a review to help others find the truth that makes us free.Send Tony a Texthttps://www.seldicompany.com/

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45 NLT) We’re a month removed from the Christmas season, although you wouldn’t know it from the number of people who still have their decorations up. Christmas is when we celebrate Jesus’ coming. But amidst the traditional readings, carols, and pageants of the season, one question that often gets overlooked is the most basic one of all: Why did Jesus come? Let’s look quickly at five different reasons. First, Jesus came to proclaim Good News to the spiritually hurting. Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor” (Luke 4:18 NLT). Not only did He proclaim the Good News, He was the Good News. He was the Messiah, the Savior the world had been waiting for. Second, Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. Medical technology has made stunning advances in pain management, but there is still no cure for a broken heart. People struggle with all kinds of heartbreaking challenges—physical, relational, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Jesus understands. He lived as one of us. He experienced pain and betrayal and grief. He knows what we feel. The psalmist wrote of the Lord, “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds” (Psalm 147:3 NLT). Third, Jesus came to set people free who are bound by sin. He came to open our spiritual eyes to our spiritual need. One of the greatest tricks the devil ever pulled was convincing people who are slaves to sin that they are free. The apostle Paul wrote, “So Christ has truly set us free” (Galatians 5:1 NLT). Jesus exposed the devil’s lie and shone a spotlight on people’s sin. He then provided a means for their sins to be forgiven forever. Fourth, Jesus came to lift up those who are crushed by life. Jesus said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT). He came to give us abundant life. Jesus came to show us that there is more to life than this. He came to give us hope. Fifth, Jesus came to give His life for us. Jesus said, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45 NLT). God is holy and just. He demands punishment for sin. That punishment is death. Only a perfect sacrifice offered in our place could save us from death. Jesus was that perfect sacrifice. He willingly took our punishment for sin. He allowed Himself to be killed so that we might live. Jesus Christ came to this earth to seek and save those of us who are lost, just as a shepherd seeks a lost sheep. Those who trust in Him will enjoy eternal life with Him. Reflection question: Which of these reasons for Jesus’ coming would resonate most powerfully with someone you know?

Does life ever feel to you like a heavy backpack that you just cannot set down? If you feel that way, if that's what life is to you, listen to this wonderful invitation from Jesus: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Following Jesus looks like handing Him each burden, one by one, and learning His gentle way. Do you want that kind of rest? You can receive it now. Pray with me, “Jesus, I am exhausted. Thank You for carrying away my sin and my fear. I give it to You, happily, take the weight—my past, my worries, my plans. Teach me Your gentle way, and give my soul real rest.” Put Your trust in Jesus. He will meet you right where you are. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Matthew 11:28 radio.hopewithgod.com

This message invites you to rediscover the good news the way Jesus actually preached it—through the story of God's kingdom breaking into the world. Instead of presenting Christianity as ideas to know or a system to master, you can invite others into a story to live under God's reign arriving through Jesus. His loving rule that is restoring both relationship and purpose. Cameron unpacks why Jesus came and introduces a Kingdom tool that helps you walk others through the big story of Scripture in a clear and meaningful way.

In this heartfelt episode of Nothing But Fine, Emily Trotter shares an unfiltered stream of thoughts about heaven, hope, and what it really means to say, “Come, Jesus, come.” Reflecting on CeCe Winans' powerful song and her own faith journey, Emily explores how our earthly need for justice and understanding fades in the light of eternity. With warmth, honesty, and wisdom, she reminds listeners that when we finally see Jesus face to face, all hurt and bitterness will melt away—replaced by peace, joy, and the ultimate embrace of love. Subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can watch this week's episode and catch up on past episodes! ---Check out the Nothin' But Fine blog and website.Follow us on social media: Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube Want everything in your inbox?
