Do your words reflect your relationship with Jesus? In Week 5 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich closes the series by teaching from Colossians 4 and reminding us that everything is spiritual, including the words we speak, text, post, pray, and use in difficult conversations. This message explores four ways our words can point people to Jesus: pray with your words because they connect you to God, engage with your words because they build bridges to outsiders, encourage with your words because they strengthen others, and honor with your words because they deepen relationships. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 5 Message: Words That Point People to Jesus Date: June 14, 2026 Scripture referenced: Colossians 3:17, Colossians 4:2-18, Luke 6:45   Connect with us: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Learn more about LIFEchurch: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give  

The Apostle Paul's radical transformation from a persecutor of the church to a passionate messenger of Christ illustrates the power of a life redirected by grace. Paul writes to the Colossians to coach them on remaining unified and focused on their mission. He reminds believers that their true identity is set apart in Christ. How can we develop a coachable spirit that is ready to grow and serve those in need? Remembering your identity, reflecting on God's faithfulness, and embracing lifelong transformation can help your community thrive.

What does it look like to honor Jesus in marriage, parenting, & work? In Week 4 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich teaches from Colossians 3:18-4:1, a passage that can feel uncomfortable in our culture. Rather than fast forwarding through difficult Scripture, this message invites us to ask what faithful obedience looks like in the roles God has given us. Rich walks through biblical submission, sacrificial love, parenting with a shepherd's heart, work as unto the Lord, and authority as stewardship under Christ. The message also makes an important pastoral distinction: Scripture is never permission for abuse, manipulation, or cruelty.

Dave took another trip to the emergency room this week — though this one wasn't for him. His daughter Bernadette and one of his boys built a foam block bridge, she went off the side of it, landed on the wall, and broke her clavicle. Clean break. When Adam got the x-ray, he zoomed in, screenshotted just the broken collarbone, and sent it to Lady Haylee with no context — let her think Adam had been out grinding, building fences, shouldering it like a tough guy. Bernadette, for the record, is doing great. Three weeks and she's back to normal. As Dave put it, if you're going to break your clavicle, do it young. Don't do it at Jim's age.A lot of life packed into this one before the topic. Adam and his boys, Luke and Jude, are going to read the Aeneid together this summer — Luke already read it at Holy Family Classical School, so he'll lead the way. Adam helped Dave harvest wheat (the invoice is coming), and the two of them talked homesteading honestly: you don't get into it to save time or money. It's a lifestyle, and the pork chop costs $400 if you're foolish enough to count your own labor. Adam also turned 40 — by the time this airs, the birthday's passed — and he spent his Substack this week reflecting on the four ten-year cycles he's got left, if he's lucky. The big lesson from 30 to 40: he had it backwards. He was making his life serve the business instead of the business serve his life. Build the habits of prayer, reading, and friendship young, because life only gets busier, and it's far easier to keep a habit than to add one.Two prayer requests worth holding. Lady Pamela's due date is this week — baby Niles number seven, two middle names this time, names not yet shared. And baby Mary is still in the NICU. They're going to try again this week to take her off the breathing tube. She's weaning off sedation — which means withdrawals, which is hard — but she's gaining weight and getting stronger. Get past the tube and the next hill is open heart surgery. Adam's grateful for every prayer, and for the guys who sent DoorDash cards. Keep praying for Mary. And a shout-out to Dan O'Brien, David's father-in-law, walking the Camino as this drops — Dan, hope the feet are holding up.This week's pour is a funny one: WhistlePig's 250th Anniversary of America 10-Year "Piggy Bank" Limited Edition Straight Rye, 55% ABV. The box is a literal piggy bank and the bottle is a chrome-plated ceramic pig. Spicier and more herbal than your Weller or Buffalo Trace — but smooth for the proof, with caramel and warm undertones. Picked up at Broken Arrow Wine and Spirits, owned by a good Catholic family from St. Benedict. Jim's yummy scale (bourbon scale): 5.87 out of 6.Then the main course: the Finding of Jesus in the Temple. Luke 2, the last joyful mystery, the only Gospel that records it — and the very first time Jesus is recorded speaking. Adam walks through it with the Catena Aurea, Aquinas's compilation of the Church Fathers edited by St. John Henry Newman. The caravan to Jerusalem split women and children up front, men in the back, and a twelve-year-old could be in either — so Mary thought He was with Joseph, Joseph thought He was with Mary. Theophylact says it wasn't negligence. A logistical blind spot. Any father who's left a kid at church after coffee and donuts gets it.The three days they searched? St. Ambrose says that's no accident — a rehearsal for the three days of the Passion, lost and then found again. The age of twelve is no accident either: right before the bar mitzvah, the Lord fulfilling the law perfectly, right on time, and twelve standing for the tribes and the apostles. Watch Mary, too. She brings her grief straight to her Son without accusation — "why have you done this to us?" — modeling how a soul carries pain to Christ: honestly, blaming no one, trusting before she fully understands. Watch Joseph, who says nothing, and pursues his mission relentlessly without drama. That's the masculine answer to adversity: very well, and you handle it. Protect, provide, establish.Was Jesus being disobedient? The Fathers say no — His higher obedience to His Father's business ran underneath the surface, and verse 51 shows Him going home and being subject to them. God first, then family, and that order doesn't fracture the home. It grounds it. And where did they find Him? In the temple. His Father's house. Which is the whole point: you can find Jesus in nature, in the car, anywhere — but you are guaranteed to find Him in the church, body, blood, soul, and divinity, in the tabernacle of every Catholic church in the world. If you want to become holy, go be with Him. Get an adoration hour. Holiness doesn't happen the way Adam's buddy Juan figured he'd "just kind of one day have a six pack." You have to do something about it. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave's daughter Bernadette breaking her clavicle falling off a foam block bridge the kids builtAdam screenshotting the x-ray and sending just the broken collarbone to Lady Haylee with no contextAdam reading the Aeneid with his sons Luke and Jude this summer — and why he's doing it men's-group styleHarvesting wheat, and the honest economics of homesteading ("the $400 pork chop")Why you never homestead to save time or money — it's a lifestyle, not a shortcutAdam turning 40 and his Substack reflection on the four ten-year cycles he has leftThe biggest lesson from 30 to 40 — making the business serve your life instead of your life serving the businessWhy habits of prayer, reading, and friendship are easier to keep than to add laterLeveraging competent friends instead of trying to do everything yourselfLady Pamela due this week with baby Niles number seven — and the two-middle-names debateBaby Mary update — another attempt to come off the breathing tube, weaning off sedation, gaining weightWhy open heart surgery is the next hill after the breathing tubeDan O'Brien walking the Camino — a shout-out for sore feetBourbon of the week: WhistlePig 250th Anniversary 10-Year "Piggy Bank" Limited Edition Straight Rye, 55% ABVThe ceramic pig bottle, the piggy-bank box, and why a limited shelf whiskey runs $250–$350Jim's yummy scale hitting 5.87 out of 6 on the bourbon scaleThe Finding of Jesus in the Temple — Luke 2, the last joyful mystery, and the only Gospel that records itThe first recorded words of Our LordReading the story through the Catena Aurea — Aquinas's compilation of the Fathers, edited by St. John Henry NewmanHow the Passover caravan split women and children up front and men in the back — and how Jesus fell into the gapTheophylact on why it was a logistical blind spot, not negligence or bad parentingSt. Ambrose on the three-day search foreshadowing the three days of the Passion and ResurrectionWhy the age of twelve matters — the year before the bar mitzvah, and the symbolism of the twelve tribes and apostlesJesus fulfilling the law perfectly and right on time, not jumping aheadMary bringing her grief to Christ without accusation — the model for carrying pain to the Lord"About my father's business" vs. "in my father's house" — the translation and what it meansSt. Bede on faith preceding comprehension — assenting before fully understandingSt. Joseph as the model father — pursuing his mission relentlessly, without drama or self-pityMary honoring Joseph's fatherhood — "your father and I" — and why spouses don't belittle each otherHow complaining about your spouse to others actually breaks your wedding vowsWas Jesus disobedient?

How do you make Jesus your priority when life is full of competing voices, habits, desires, and distractions? Rich Greene continues the Jesus + Nothing series with a message from Colossians 3. Paul moves from belief to behavior: since we have been raised to new life with Christ, we set our hearts on things above, put to death what belongs to the old life, and put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love. This message will help you examine what your life is communicating. If someone looked at your calendar, finances, phone, family, friendships, and daily choices, would they see Jesus as your priority or something else?

How do you trust God when you are suffering and cannot make sense of what is happening? Pastor Rich continues the Jesus + Nothing series with a message from Colossians 1-2 on the mystery of Christ in us, the hope of glory. Paul writes about suffering while he himself is in prison, reminding us that struggle is not evidence that God has forgotten us. In Christ, suffering can become a place where we experience His presence, depend on His strength, reject counterfeits, and focus again on what is real. This message names the ways we often reach for substitutes when we are hurting: control, blame, escape, positive thinking, busyness, and trying harder. But Jesus is not a supplement to add to our lives. He is everything. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 2 Message: Jesus Is Everything in the Struggle Date: May 24, 2026 Scriptures referenced: John 15:13, Colossians 1:24-29, Colossians 2:1-17 Next steps, prayer, and connection: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Website: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

In our message for today, Pastor Corey walks through Acts 15 to show that while the Church doesn't need to fight over everything, but it must contend for the Gospel when grace itself is at stake. The early Church faced a defining moment where tradition threatened to burden new believers, and the apostles made it clear: salvation is by grace alone, and we should never make it hard for people who are turning to God. The call for us today is to be a church that prioritizes the Gospel, welcomes outsiders with passion, and chooses relationship and unity over preferences, arguments, and unnecessary barriers.

You don't need more than Jesus; you just need more of Jesus. Discover how to stop adding your own efforts to the finished work of the cross and start living in the total sufficiency of a "Jesus plus nothing" faith.

In “Jesus + NOTHING,” Pastor Dan Belshaw continues our Mindset series through Philippians 3, asking one defining question: where is your confidence? In this message Dan contrasts confidence in the flesh with confidence in Christ. Unpacking Paul's credentials and his great reversal of profit to loss, he shows that mature faith rests not in what we do for God, but in what God has done for us. Our home is in heaven - and everything we need is found in Jesus alone.

Instead of rejoicing in the Lord, we often feel pride or shame. Let's draw close to Jesus and not let these things get in the way. Let's take our pride and our shame and leave these burdens at the foot of the cross, rejoicing instead in the Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:19-30.

Joshua Lewis with Acts 15In Acts 15, the early church wrestled with a question that still confronts us today: What does it take to get into God's family? Is it Jesus plus religious effort, moral improvement, or cultural conformity — or is Jesus enough? This message explores the beauty of grace. The Law was good, but it could never save. Only the grace of the Lord Jesus brings us in — and that grace doesn't leave us unchanged.

Instead of rejoicing in the Lord, we often feel pride or shame. Let's draw close to Jesus and not let these things get in the way. Let's take our pride and our shame and leave these burdens at the foot of the cross, rejoicing instead in the Christ Jesus. Watch Here on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/qTJF9Z5ggjA

Join us as we discuss the decision of the very first Christian doctrine council in Jerusalem-Salvation is by God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. Jesus + Nothing.

You're on a Jesus + NOTHING plan. You don't need a Jesus plus anything plan. Because in Him, you already have so much more. Don't set aside your freedom and take yourself captive again.

Jesus can accomplish and provide what we need, especially in times like this. We can be tempted to settle for something else on top of Jesus, but don't fall for those who teach a Jesus + Special Days plan. Every day belongs to the Lord.
