Who or what you're connected to shapes who you become. In John 15, Jesus calls us to stay connected to Him—the true vine—so that our lives can bear fruit. This week we'll talk about how rhythms, practices, and community create space for transformation, and how distraction can keep us from the life God wants for us.

The Commands of Jesus: Part 6

Mary of Nazareth – Mother of Jesuswe explore the life of Mary of Nazareth, the mother of Jesus. Chosen for a role unlike any other, Mary's story reveals her faith, humility, and unwavering trust in God's plan. As a young Jewish girl, she knew the Scriptures and the promises of the Messiah. When the angel Gabriel brought the news that she would give birth to God's Son, Mary responded not with disbelief, but with a heart surrendered to God.We discuss the lessons her life offers us today: faith in God's Word even when it seems impossible, humility in serving His purposes, trust in His timing, and the importance of a deep, personal relationship with Him. Mary's willingness to say, “I am the Lord's servant,” continues to inspire us to live with courage and devotion to God.Mary of Nazareth stands as one of the most remarkable women in Scripture. Chosen to be the mother of the Messiah, her life reflects deep faith, humility, and complete trust in God's plan.As a young Jewish girl, Mary would have grown up immersed in the Torah and the promises of God's covenant with His people. When the angel Gabriel appeared to her with the astonishing news that she would conceive and give birth to the Son of God, Mary responded not with disbelief, but with a heart open to God's will. Her only question—“How will this be?”—was not a rejection of the prophecy but a sincere seeking of understanding.Mary's response, “I am the Lord's servant, may it be to me according to your word,” demonstrates her humility and willingness to submit to God's plan, even though it would mean personal sacrifice, misunderstanding, and risk.Lessons We Can Learn from Mary:Faith in God's Word – Mary trusted that what God had promised, He would fulfill, even when it seemed impossible.Humility in Service – She did not seek honor for herself but accepted her role as God's servant.Trust in God's Plan – Mary surrendered her future, her reputation, and her life into God's hands.Relationship with God – Her Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55) reveals a heart full of praise, Scripture, and deep devotion.Mary teaches us that living a life of faith requires openness to God's will, courage to face the unknown, and trust that His promises are true.Mary of Nazareth podcastMary mother of Jesus Bible studyWomen of the Bible seriesLessons from Mary in the BibleChristian podcast for womenFaith and humility in the BibleTrusting God's plan podcastBible characters podcastThe Annunciation explainedMary's Magnificat teachingBiblical role models for womenChristian devotional podcastMary of Nazareth faith storyGospel of Luke Mary teachingBible study podcast on MaryMary of NazarethMother of JesusWomen of the BibleMary in the BibleFaith and humilityTrust in GodThe AnnunciationMary's obedienceChristian women role modelsBible study podcastBiblical faith lessonsMary's MagnificatJewish girl in NazarethGospel of Luke MaryLessons from Mary
“What God Says About Jesus” • Hebrews 1:4-14 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. The Apostle Paul makes a two-pronged defense of the superiority of Jesus Christ over the angels. The first argument is that Jesus is God. Jesus is the Son; angels are His servants. Christ is King; angels are His subjects. Jesus is the Creator; angels are created beings. Therefore, He is higher than the angels and deserves our praise and worship. This message was preached on Sunday, April 21, 2024.
What do you believe about Jesus? Jesus Christ is the promised messiah, the God man, the bold prophet, the compassionate healer, the bondage breaker, the perfect example, the atoning sacrifice, the resurrected Lord, the interceding high priest, the returning King. What you believe about Jesus will change your life today and tomorrow and for all eternity. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1170/29

This message unpacks what it truly means to be a Christian—more than a title, it is a supernatural encounter with God that brings new birth, repentance, and transformation from within. Through Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, we see that to follow Christ is to be born of the Spirit, given a new heart, and made alive to God's kingdom. Christians belong to Christ, living as people of His kingdom, which is not political or geographical but spiritual and present wherever Jesus reigns in hearts. The name “Christian” should reflect holiness, devotion, and Christlikeness, as our lives bear witness to the reality of God's rule within us. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

We're all changing—but who or what is shaping us? In Luke 7:36–50, we see that true transformation comes not from guilt or striving, but from the grace of Jesus. He gives us a new identity, a new freedom, and a new life in Him. Join us as we discover what it means to be changed by grace and live as a new creation in Christ.

John already knows the Jesus of the gospels, but here he is introduced to the Son of Man in full glory. Yes, we must know the Jesus of our salvation, but we must also know the Jesus of judgment and eternal reign.

Part 9 of our Sunday School Series "In Search of Jesus" with Jeremiah Young
This is a recording of a 4 week class Dr. Matt is teaching on the letter of Revelation at The Point (www.gotothepoint.com). What lenses do you read Revelation with? Revelation 1:1The letter of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ, not a revelation of fear and speculation about the the end of the world.Interpretive Assumptions and MistakesAssumption #1: Revelation is primarily about the “end times”.Assumption #2: What Revelation reveals is a chronological roadmap of the future. Assumption #3: Revelation is about us.How to avoid interpretive mistakes…Step 1: Consider the literary contextGenreEpistle (Rev 1:4, 1:11; Rev 2-3)The Bible (and Revelation) was not written to us, but it was written for us. Prophecy (Rev 1:3, Rev 19:10)17% of the time the words “prophecy”, “prophesy”, or “to prophesy” are used, the verses are in the context of a prediction. (Often about judgement events that will come if people don't repent)83% of the time the words “prophecy”, “prophesy”, and “to prophesy” refer to something else besides prediction. Prophecy does 3 things… It reveals: Who God isWhat God desiresWhat God demands from His peopleApocalypse There are 404 verses in Revelation which contain over 800 Old Testament allusions. So, we must understand the Old Testament to interpret Revelation correctly. Apocalyptic genre is like a political cartoon. It is the writing of oppressed people under the foot of the empire. Apocalypses are overtly political and are meant to critique to governments of this world and call God's people to faithful allegiance to the kingdom of God. Step 2: Know the historical context Struggle and Conflict in Revelation: Kingdom of God vs. Kingdom of Satan, Jesus followers vs. unbelieving Jews, Empire vs. The Church, Truth vs. liesTeam Lamb or Team Dragon?Revelation 1Jesus reveals God to us Jesus reveals us to usYou don't just read Revelation, it reads you!Revelation will reveal the God you worship or your cultural assumptions about God. We become like the god(s) we worshipLet Jesus unveil God and His character to us (The Jesus of Revelation shouldn't look different than the Jesus of the gospels or the Sermon on the Mount)7 Churches (Revelation 2-3)Summary:As a letter, Revelation was written to seven real churches, which implies that its message was understandable to its original readers. As an apocalypse, Revelation uses symbolic language to reveal a God's-eye perspective for the encouragement of Christians living in Caesar's empire. And as a prophecy, Revelation warns the churches against idolatry (Rev 2:14–15). This makes sense given how idols and temples peppered the Asian landscape.Revelation encourages Christians to remain faithful in trials (Rev 2:10, 13). It's no wonder that Revelation would include this, as the threat of persecution was constant.Revelation tells the story of how Satan has inspired an evil, beastly kingdom but that one day the Lamb will rescue the world from it (Rev 12–13; 17–22). That such a story is included is not at all surprising given that the message of the idolatrous empire was etched on every official document and ingrained on every temple.Revelation identifies two groups of people who have been marked out as either Lamb people or Beast people (Rev 7; 13–14). This makes perfect sense because, in the first century, there was only one choice: pledge loyalty to either Christ or Caesar.
There are two traps Christians frequently fall into. Pastor Colin talks about how to avoid acquiescing to or despairing over your sin.
When Jesus was arrested and appeared before Pilate, who was really on trial? The answer may surprise you. Our study in Mark's gospel continues today in chapter fifteen. We're all familiar with the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Today we'll consider the hearing before Pilate from a slightly different perspective. Who actually was on trial here?
Last week we read Mark 14:3-9, and we said that when Mary pour the expense fragrant oil of nard on Jesus head and feet, what she was doing actually worshipping Him. And we said that when she did that, she was doing all that she could do to show him how much she loved him, and Jesus said, "She has done what she could." And we talked about how some people may have thought it was a meager work, but in actuality it was a mighty work. This morning, we are going to continue our study of what Mary did, and we are going to find out that not only was a misunderstood and meager work, but it was also a meaningful work.
