Pastor Sam Paschall teaches how the church's mission is to reflect the purpose for which Jesus was sent into the world. (Scripture passages: John 17:15-26, 20:19-23)

Pastor Sam Paschall kicks off the "Jesus Loves CA" series by looking God's desire to seek and save the lost through various passages in the gospel of John.

In this episode, Sean takes a brief departure from our open hand series to talk about an important question that a friend asked him this week. “I know Jesus loves me but does he really like me?” enjoy this fascinating teaching around Jesus live and how he loves us all just the same.

So many of us have deleted ourselves off the list of those Jesus loves and cares for because of the lives we've lived, just like the woman in Luke 7. After an encounter with Jesus, though, that can all change, as it did for her. We can begin to discover the truth that we are all worthy of love.

Jesus loved children. Though they may be small, and though they may not be grown up like adults, children matter much to the Lord and He takes a very special interest in them. This episode is for those who are young and young at heart.

Our new Youth and Young Adults Director Emily Welty teaches on the hymn 'Jesus Loves Me'. Welcome to the team Emily!

Do you see the Church as central to the purposes of God in the world? He certainly does, and he will use his Church to accomplish his ends.

To love God supremely is the fundamental duty of man, as well as the foundation of true salvation, obedience, and Christian living. From John 15:9 and other scriptures, the Bible teaches that Christ loves His people as the Father loves Him, and He told us to "continue in his love." Real love is not merely emotion, religious zeal, loyalty, or words, but a life that gives itself to God in obedience and sacrifice. Love is not love unless it puts to death the selfish, self-centered heart, and esteems God and others more than ourselves. Do not be deceived by your emotional feelings toward God if you are living in disobedience to his Word. Love lives only in deeds, and the kind of love God commands from us is not feelings and emotion, but recognizing his greatness and goodness and laying down our lives for Him.

What if the deepest truth about you isn't how well you love Jesus, but that you are loved by Him?In this overview of the Gospel of John, we meet the eyewitness behind the story, discover why he wrote it, and trace the heartbeat of his Gospel: see Jesus for who He truly is, believe in Him, and receive the Life He came to give.John began as a hot-tempered “Son of Thunder,” but after a lifetime of being loved by Jesus, he came to describe himself simply as “the disciple Jesus loved.” That's what grace had done to him. He was loved, and that love transformed him.If you've ever felt like you should be further along, have more answers, or try harder to become who God wants you to be, this message is for you. Come and see the Jesus John knew...the One who moves toward confused and imperfect people, loves them right where they are, and transforms them by His grace.What if we learned to see ourselves the way John did?The one Jesus loves.FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION:1. John didn't define himself by his successes or failures, or even by his love for Jesus. He defined himself by Jesus' love for him: "the one Jesus loved." How do you tend to see yourself? And what would change in your everyday life if you saw yourself first and foremost as loved by God?2. Matt drew a line between advice ("try harder, do more, maybe God will be pleased") and news ("something already happened"). Where have you lived in the exhausting, advice version of Christianity, where you're never enough and neither is God's grace?3. John was a Son of Thunder who wanted to call down fire on a village, and he ended up the old pastor whose whole message was just love. Grace did that to him, not nagging. Where have you seen the difference between being pressured to change and being loved into it?4. Every "I AM" names a hunger we're already trying to fill somewhere else: bread, light, a door, a shepherd. Which one lands on a place you've been striving to satisfy on your own? What would it look like to receive Jesus there instead of chasing it?5. Almost nobody in John's Gospel understands Jesus the first time, and he keeps moving toward them anyway. Comprehension isn't the price of belonging. How does it sit with you that you don't have to have it all figured out to belong to him?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

Can we really share the gospel by starting with Jesus loves you? Pastor Jeff Durbin said that walking up and telling people that “Jesus loves you” is not what the Apostles taught and so naturally it isn't something that we should be doing when we share the gospel. We contrast that with a recent interaction with ESPN star Pat Mcafee and a street evangelist starting off his conversation with Jesus loves you. Who is correct and how we should we as Christians evangelize Jesus Christ to those around us?

Our culture is all about taking, but Jesus takes special notice of givers.

In this episode of Reimagine Childhood from the Early Childhood Christian Network, host Monica Healer talks with author and jesusloves.org founder Tara Hackney about rewriting the classic song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" after adopting a traumatized two-year-old from India and realizing the original lyrics felt outdated and incomplete. Tara shares how her experiences in global ministry and adoption awakened a deeper passion to help children understand they are purposefully made, personally known, and perfectly loved by Jesus, and how diversity reflects God's grand design. They discuss practical ways educators can honor God's image in every child through respectful interactions, creativity, empathy-building experiences, and cultural exposure, while connecting everyday actions to God's love. Monica also highlights upcoming ECCN conferences in Georgetown and McKinney, Texas. 00:00 Welcome to Reimagine Childhood 00:50 Meet Tara Hackney 02:07 Why Rewrite the Song 03:12 Adoption Sparked the Change 04:58 Gods Grand Design in Diversity 09:01 Purposefully Made Personally Known 10:54 Practical Classroom Mindset Shifts 15:01 Creativity Justice and Reasoning 16:42 Let Kids Create and Learn 19:24 Do Overs and Childlike Mercy 22:30 Quick Story Break Setup 22:43 Conference Season Preview 23:49 Keynotes and Registration 25:06 Teaching Kids Gods Love 27:46 Culture and Classroom Differences 30:43 Immersion and Empathy Activities 35:15 Worship Creativity and Discernment 40:05 Reimagine Teachers as Missionaries 42:27 Purposefully Made Reflection 44:46 Final Challenge and Farewell Connect with Tara at her website www.jesusloves.org where she also has a really cute shop with merch for you!

John Mark Eager serves as Executive Director of The Mailbox Club, a ministry founded by his father to help children grow in their understanding of the gospel through long-term discipleship. Although John Mark trusted Christ as a child, a season of spiritual renewal during his school years deepened his walk with the Lord and gave him a lasting burden for missions. Over the past several decades, God has used that calling to expand The Mailbox Club far beyond its original model, opening doors to partner with churches and local Believers around the world. In this conversation, John Mark shares how God has grown the ministry from reaching millions of children to discipling more than 17 million annually across 110 countries, while keeping the focus on evangelism, discipleship, and stewardship. He discusses the importance of empowering indigenous leaders, investing in young people who are discipling the next generation, and refusing to limit what God can do through ordinary Believers. Along the way, he offers practical wisdom on leadership, generosity, and trusting God to provide for opportunities that seem far beyond human capacity. Listen to discover how God is using children, youth, and local churches to advance the gospel in some of the world's most strategic and least reached places. Major Topics Include: Embracing a child-focused Great Commission Pairing evangelism with long-term discipleship Empowering indigenous leaders for Kingdom growth Releasing authority and trusting capable teams Refusing to limit what God can do Balancing data-driven stewardship with Spirit-led dependence Developing youth leaders through active ministry Building scalable systems without losing mission focus Prioritizing unreached children and frontier regions Involving families and children in ministry exposure QUOTES TO REMEMBER “The most unreached people group is children.” “We celebrate what God's done in the past, but we're forward thinking and we push ourselves and each other.” “Children make great missionaries. Children are the most responsive to the gospel.” “We really can't have a conversation about world evangelization without talking about children.” “I think we can track numbers and pursue excellence in stewardship and be led by the Holy Spirit. I don't think those are competing ideas.” “The Mailbox Club is just a vehicle for the gospel.” “I think we're supposed to reach kids. I think we're supposed to reach kids anywhere and everywhere for Christ.” “I'm ultimately serving Christ. And that's the highest honor we can have, to be a bondservant of Jesus Christ.” “God delights in impossibilities.” “I do believe in simple faith that God isn't bringing these opportunities just to frustrate us.” “My job is just to advocate on behalf of kids.” “We're stewards of everything we have to reach the world for Christ.” “If He can use me, He can use anybody.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW John Mark Eager, Executive Director of The Mailbox Club (see our past interview here) Child Evangelism Fellowship Operation Christmas Child, the shoebox ministry of The Samaritan's Purse ROI Ministry (see our interview with founder, Tim Barker) MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Psalm 71:15-16 | God's Boundless Salvation “My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.” Matthew 28: 16-20 | The Great Commission Matthew 9:36-38 | The Laborers Are Few “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'”  Matthew 19:14 | Jesus Loves the Little Children “But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'” John 14:12-14 | Greater Works  “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

Romans : The Power of Grace | Week 18: God Is For Us, Jesus Loves Us | Jerry Gillis

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon speaks about being a “church on fire,” contrasting religion with a transformative relationship with Jesus that gives purpose beyond oneself. Using Psalm 67:1–2, he explains that God's mercy and blessing are meant to shine through believers so others can know His way and find salvation. He recounts the Welsh Revival as an example of prayer and fasting igniting widespread spiritual change and urges the church not to become lukewarm or let the flame go out like churches that became museums. Citing Mark 16:15, Luke 19:10, Acts 1:8, and Acts 2, he emphasizes the Holy Spirit's power to make believers bold witnesses, calls for praying and fasting for the lost, shares personal testimonies of evangelism, and ends with an invitation to surrender to Jesus in prayer.

Jesus Loves the Worst of SinnersPastor Nate Kassulke

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon explains from John 10 that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and believers can know His voice through time with Him, surrender, and obedience, contrasting yielded “sheep” with resistant “goats.” He then teaches that God calls people to be planted in a local church, using Psalms 92 and Jeremiah 17 to show that being rooted and watered by God's Word produces flourishing, stability in trouble, and fruitfulness even in drought. He warns against offense, convenience-driven drifting, and rebellion, emphasizing biblical loyalty built on truth, love, accountability, sacrifice, commitment, and shared vision. The sermon highlights that Jesus loves the church as His bride, is washing and preparing her for the marriage supper of the Lamb, and calls people to repent, return, and surrender to Christ.

Sermon by Tim Rich at 10:00 a.m. on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Readings: Isaiah 65:17–25, Psalm 118:1–2, 14–24 and Luke 24:1–12. Watch the sermon on YouTube here.

In this Church on the Move sermon, Pastor Troy Smothermon uses Ephesians 5:25 as he argues that people cannot fully love Jesus without loving His bride, the church, and explains that the local church builds and sharpens people (Proverbs 27:17), combats loneliness through relationships, and teaches integrity, responsibility, sacrifice, and servant leadership. He calls older believers to disciple younger believers (Titus 2:2–8), urges members not to be the “missing piece” in the body (1 Corinthians 12:18), and challenges listeners to encourage a believer and share Jesus with someone who doesn't know Him.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Romans 15:5-87Send us a comment!Support the show

Pastor Troy Smothermon explains why he loves the church—especially the local church—reading a letter about how refreshing church community is, sharing his testimony of being saved after trying to pull his brother from what he thought was a cult, and teaching that the local church is God's house, a pillar of truth, and essential for salvation, discipleship, and transformation. He ends with an invitation to surrender to Jesus and a congregational prayer of salvation.

 Pastor Troy launches a new series, “Why Jesus Loves the Church?”, while honoring mothers on Mother's Day with a message from Sally Green. Sally shares her experience of waiting 13 years for children, warning not to “waste the waiting,” rejecting lies about identity, and encouraging trust in God through daily prayer and the Word, including Galatians 6:9. She highlights motherhood beyond biology, the power of correction and forgiveness, and Mary's servant-hearted example. Pastor Troy teaches that the church is God's people, unstoppable even under persecution, and that Jesus loves the church because He purchased it with His blood, calling believers to value, unite, and belong to the church.

 When Jesus came into this world, he established an eternal community called "the kingdom of God." Anyone in heaven or on earth who has submitted to King Jesus is a part of that kingdom, and the values & priorities of his kingdom are drastically different from those found in this world. #MoRealJesus  

On this episode we talk about a topic I think a lot of people struggle with...Does God love me or simply tolerate me? Let's dive into this very deep topic all from the driver seat of my wife's car!

When it comes to God, doubt is a really big deal because there's so little we can prove. We are people of faith. We worship and serve an invisible God. We believe in another realm after we die, but no one ever sends postcards from there… So many of our beliefs are unseen and unprovable. By the time we're done today, I don't want you to be comfortable with your doubts, but I do hope you'll know what to do with them.Learn more about Mountaintop Church at: https://mountaintopchurch.com

Life is a process. We know that if we've lived very long at all. And this week, we're talking about the process of trusting God.John 16:24 says, “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”Could Jesus meet our needs by just giving us something instantly? Of course. He made everything! And sometimes He does that; the miracles he performed that are recorded in the New Testament tell us that he often instantly met a person's need.But He doesn't always work that way. That's because Jesus loves to teach us.In the book of John, He is telling us the steps necessary to trust Him for provision. First, we ask. Then we learn to receive His good gifts. Finally, we feel real joy, because we know exactly where it came from.This process is designed to teach us faith and then to be genuinely appreciative to the Lord for meeting our needs. All through the Bible, we are told that He delights in helping us, in loving us through tough times. The older we get, the more we are able to look back and see that He and He alone brought us through.There is usually no other explanation.And that is called a miracle.Let's pray. Lord, we are dependent on you for everything, and we are blessed that you are our Source. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

How does discipleship shape the way we make sense of pain and suffering in our lives? Why is Scripture so important—not only for our own spiritual growth, but also for the growth of our children?As a military wife, Hunter Beless began to recognize her own need for deeper discipleship amid the challenges and constant transitions of military life. She started seeking out conversations with those who could disciple and encourage her in her faith. Eventually, she decided to share those conversations with the women in her own circle and beyond through her podcast, *Journeywomen*. What she couldn't have anticipated was how essential those spiritual investments would become when she faced the sudden and tragic loss of her father to cancer. In that season of deep suffering, the roots of her faith helped sustain her.Hunter has not only pursued discipleship in her own life, but she has also spent significant time thinking about how to disciple her young children. In her most recent book, Jesus Loves You More, Hunter helps kids understand the depth of Christ's love for them as they grow in their desire to know Him.In this episode, Davey and Hunter talk about the profound role discipleship plays in the life of a believer, how we can wrestle with and trust in the sovereignty of God during seasons of suffering, and practical ways we can teach our kids Scripture so that when they face hardship, they know where to return—to God's truth and His love for them.If you are longing for relationships that will stir your affection for Jesus in the midst of pain, this conversation will encourage you to seek out people who can speak into your life and help strengthen your faith as you follow Him.
