To read Ps. 22 is to join Jesus on the Cross.  There are many descriptions of this unfortunate death embedded in Ps. 22. Of note today, even the bad guys around the cross tell us that Ps. 22 is about Jesus. It is in Ps 22 we find Jesus entrusting, conversing, and recalling His relationship with the Father. Join me there for 7 minutes. https://youtu.be/HWyvR9JcaMc

Lead Pastor Adrian and Creative & Tech Director Erik talk about the upcoming sermon series: Joining Jesus on His Mission.

What does it mean to follow Jesus outside the camp? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Hebrews 13:15–16 to show how the Calvary Road calls us to forsake comfort to meet others' needs.

Listen to Pastor Gawel's sermon for January 26, 2025, taken from Luke 4:14-21. The post Joining Jesus on His Extraordinary Mission – Sermon for January 26, 2025 appeared first on St. Andrew Lutheran Church.

At the heart of Jesus' last words were for there to be unity in the church, as this is the proof the world needs to believe that God sent His Son to the earth to reveal to mankind the love of the Father. Unity in the church, by demonstrating our love for one another is the vision Jesus has for the church.

In this sermon, Matthew Dowling explores the title "Messiah" and what it means to claim Jesus as the true, anointed Savior. Drawing from scripture, he contrasts the false claims of people like Rev. Sun Myung Moon and others throughout history who have declared themselves as messiahs. He highlights three key roles that Jesus, the true Messiah, fulfills: Prophet, Priest, and King. Jesus the Prophet: Anointed to proclaim the good news and liberate the oppressed. Jesus the Priest: Serving as the mediator between God and humanity, confirmed by His resurrection. Jesus the King: Reigning eternally as the promised King who brings unity and victory to those who trust in Him. The sermon calls believers to understand Jesus' unique role as the only one who fulfills God's promises and urges us to live in response to His mission through salvation, service, and worship. Pastor Matthew reminds us that no false claimant can fulfill the promises that only Jesus can keep. 5-Day Devotional: “He is the Messiah” Day 1: The Anointed One – Jesus as Prophet Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Reflection: Jesus was anointed to preach the good news and liberate the oppressed. As the ultimate prophet, He speaks God's truth into our lives. Reflect today on how Jesus' words of truth bring you freedom. Prayer: Lord, help me to listen to Your voice and apply Your Word to my life. Give me the courage to proclaim Your truth to others. Day 2: Jesus, Our Great High Priest Scripture: Hebrews 7:16 Reflection: Jesus, through His resurrection, became our eternal priest, serving as the mediator between God and humanity. Take time to reflect on His sacrificial role in your life. Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be my perfect mediator. Help me to rest in His finished work, knowing that my salvation is secure in Him. Day 3: Jesus the King Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:12 Reflection: Just as David was anointed as king, Jesus is the true and eternal King. Consider how Jesus reigns in your life. Are there areas where you need to submit to His kingship? Prayer: King Jesus, I surrender my life to You. Teach me to honor You as my Lord in everything I do. Day 4: Victory in Jesus Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:57 Reflection: Jesus gives us victory over sin, death, and the powers of darkness. Meditate on the victory you have in Christ today and how that impacts your daily life. Prayer: Lord, thank You for the victory You have given me through Your resurrection. Help me to live each day with the confidence that I am an overcomer in You. Day 5: Joining Jesus on His Mission Scripture: Romans 10:8 Reflection: Jesus invites us to join Him in His mission to bring salvation and serve others. Reflect on how you can be part of His work in the world. Prayer: Jesus, use me to share Your message of salvation with others. Give me a heart of service and a spirit of worship as I walk with You each day.

Welcome to Divine Savior Church in Doral, FL! In this message, Pastor Caleb Schmiege explores how integrating faith into daily life is key to becoming an active member of the body of Christ. Jesus, our ultimate Disciple-Maker, asks us, “Do you trust me with your life?” As we grow in Christian maturity, we learn to live less for ourselves and more for Him and others. By keeping Jesus as our guide, we can trust the Holy Spirit to work through us, making disciples and changing lives. Join us as we delve into what it means to truly live for Jesus and embrace the call to discipleship.

Integrating faith into daily life is essential for becoming a contributing member of the body of Christ, supporting one another like family. Jesus asks, “Do you trust me with your life?” As our master and Disciple-Maker, He guides us to grow in Christian maturity, living less for self and more for Him and others. Jesus is the ultimate disciple-maker, using us to make disciples. We strive to be more like Jesus by keeping Him as our DiscipleMaker and trusting His Spirit to work through us in discipling others.Support the Show.~ Changing lives with Jesus!

Points of Discussion: Melinda emphasizes the importance of prayer and surrender to God, highlighting that your LGBTQ identified child's same-sex attraction itself isn't a sin, but acting on it is, and her main prayer is for her daughter's holiness rather than heterosexuality. Melinda emphasizes that a parent's responsibility is to love, pray for, and support their child, but not to control or fix them, as transformation is God's role. The conversation covers practical steps for parents, such as setting boundaries with love, having open and honest conversations, and not compromising biblical truths, while still showing unconditional love and support to their children. Melinda shares her personal experiences and the transformation in her relationship with her daughter, advocating for the pursuit of Jesus and intimate prayer as key elements in walking this difficult journey. The show notes include resources, as well as Melinda's links where you can purchase her book, sign up for her newsletter, follow her podcast etc. If you sign up for her newsletter you can find out where she's speaking next and the various events that are available for parents dealing with similar situations.  Podcast Intro: My guest Melinda Patrick is multi-talented on many levels. She is a podcast host of two podcasts, one of which is The Bridge Between Us: Loving Your LGBTQ Identified Child Without Compromising Truth. Melinda is a writer, an international speaker and she recently added author to her writing credentials in early 2024 when she published, The Daring Rescue: Joining Jesus Christ in His Pursuit of Your LGBTQ Identified Child's Heart. What I believe makes Melinda successful at connecting with people and loving them well is her passion to love Christ first and foremost; to discover His heart and to willingly make her own heart transparent so that the Lord can write His love story with her, onto/into her own heart. I'm going to try and make this intro super short because I want to get right into all the information and insight that Melinda has to share but I am excited about everything she shared so hopefully I can contain myself. May you have ears to hear all that the Holy Spirit shares through her. Listen to this episode a couple of times because you don't want to miss anything. From practical advice, deep wisdom, a parent's insight, knowledge of how to navigate this sensitive topic with God, you simply do not want to miss anything. Here are just a few of the questions she addressed:  What is the parent's responsibility? Is it our job, the parent's job, to save our child? Is there any hope for relationship if our child doesn't want to be saved? What is the difference between desiring our child to change vs our child being transformed? How do we navigate hard conversations? Melinda says we need to define some words as the basis of hard conversations. I think we can all agree that in this particular time and culture, words have been hijacked and they no longer mean what they used to mean.  My biggest take away from our conversation was personal. I loved how her experience of allowing God to challenge her heart, her fears and her pride was in line with what I am discovering about the Lord myself. Taking our emotions, fears, lie based thinking and all the ways we feel/believe that God should/would/could answer our prayers and we pause. We bring Him our pain and our hard questions, expose what our heart believes, we get real about our motives with the One who thoroughly knows these things about us.  God's not afraid of our emotions. He gave us emotions and I personally believe they also serve as an alarm system of sorts. Emotions let us know when we need to engage the heart of God for His truth and healing. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, the word says, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  In short, we bring God our pain and we allow Him to speak His truth/His Word into that pain and it redefines what we've built our false belief system on. I can't express to you the level of freedom, peace, truth, love that is available to you through this process of trusting God with our pain. Actually, here's a perfect example. Let's jump into my conversation with Melinda! What you see, in this case what you hear, is what you get in real life with her.  Listen in and be encouraged by her passion for the things of God because He's doing a deep revelatory work in this woman's heart and you get to glean the wisdom.

Many denominational traditions make themselves the portal of salvation. “Join us. Go to our church. That's where it's at.” But true Christianity is not anywhere but outside the city gate, at the cross of Christ. Have we met Jesus there, or are we religious? Let's go to Him, outside the gate, willing to bear the disgrace He bore for us.

MARK 6:1-13In today's gospel, Jesus comes home with power, authority, love, and healing, and he offends everybody. This passage is meant to wake us up: Jesus will always offend in one way or another. How is he offending you now?
