Bible Reading: Romans 8:35-37; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; 1 Peter 4:12–14Alisha ran inside the house. "There's a butterfly outside!" she exclaimed. "I got a picture on my phone. Do you want to see it?" she asked Devin, her older sister."Sure." Devin inspected the photo. "That butterfly is beautiful," she said as she cut into a mango. Alisha frowned as juice hit her phone. "That mango juice is getting everywhere."Devin shrugged as a piece of mango flew across the kitchen. "I'm trying to keep it from splashing all over the place, but mangos are messy."Alisha sat down at the counter and watched her sister. "Why eat mangos then? If they're messy, you could just not buy them." Devin popped a piece of mango into her mouth. "Because they taste really good, and I think it's worth it." She gave Alisha a smile. "It's kind of like your school problem." Alisha blinked. "Your mango is like people being mean to me at school because I believe in Jesus?" she asked doubtfully. "Kind of. Being a follower of Jesus can be messy. The Bible even tells us that--it says others might make fun of us or try to make life harder for us, like the kids at school who are mean to you. But you haven't stopped trusting in Jesus, have you?" Alisha looked shocked. "Why would I do that? He died for my sins so He could be with me all the time, and someday I'll be able to spend forever in heaven with Him."Devin smiled. "See? Knowing Jesus is worth it. Just like the mangos." She cut into a second mango. Alisha ducked so no juice would hit her. "I don't care how messy following Jesus is! Just like you don't care how messy your mango is." She thought about that for a moment. "I guess that makes sense. Kids at school make fun of me, but I know that Jesus loves me and died to save me, and that's worth whatever mean stuff people say." Alisha shrieked as a piece of mango hit her arm. "But those mangos are not worth it at all. I'm getting out of here!" –Kimberly BrokishHow About You?Has anyone ever been mean to you because you believe in Jesus?* Maybe they've called you names or said Jesus isn't real. The Bible tells us that being Christians doesn't protect us from all hardships--in fact, sometimes we will experience difficulties because we follow Jesus. But the Bible does tell us that Jesus will always love us and be with us. Take comfort in knowing that Jesus will be with you no matter what happens. He is worth any difficulties that come with following Him. *If someone is being mean to you, talk to a trusted adult so they can help.Today's Key Verse:That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (NIV) (2 Corinthians 12:10)Today's Key Thought:Hardships come when we follow Christ

We can so easily have a gospel that is a white-washed tomb. Knowing Jesus in light of his full sacrifice is where we overcome.

Jesus said He is the Good Shepherd.  What did He mean? Is there more to His statement? Scott Westbrook April 27, 2025

On this fourth Sunday of the Lenten season, Pastor Kara continues the sermon series "Turn Your Eyes: Renewed Devotion to Seeing and Knowing Jesus"

On this fifth Sunday of the Lenten season, Pastor Kara continues the sermon series "Turn Your Eyes: Renewed Devotion to Seeing and Knowing Jesus"

Knowing Jesus changes how we think and what we focus on.

Knowing Jesus changes how we think and what we focus on.

In this sermon, Doug unpacks the 'Emmaus Encounter' - where Jesus appears to the disciples while traveling to Emmaus after Jesus' crucifixion, but they fail to recognise him - and illustrates how a personal encounter with the resurrected Jesus through the lens of scripture ignites a transformative and passionate faith.

Knowing Christ's character, who He is, and how much He loves you will produce healing in your life. This will walk you through His character and the many benefits there are to knowing Him. Healing is one of the many benefits!

Knowing Jesus should lead to a burning passion for Jesus. To celebrate Palm Sunday, Pastor Jeff Little of Milestone Church joins us to help us learn about 3 principles we discover when we have a true encounter with Jesus.

There are so many benefits to knowing Jesus! You can choose to renew your mind to the truth of the Word and begin to live healed and forgiven!  Those are only two of the many benefits!

Divine peace is a guardian of the heart and mind, characterized by four key attributes. Knowing Jesus is presented as the key to experiencing this profound and lasting divine peace. Created using Notebook LM

We can't escape God's call. That might sound unsettling, but the truth is God is sovereign—He reigns over the world and over our lives. When God calls us, there's no running away from Him, even if we try. That's because the Creator of the universe loves us deeply. He wants a personal relationship with us, no matter where we are in life. Listen in as we explore what it means to be called by God and why His invitation is inescapable.

He wants a personal relationship with us, no matter where we are in life. Listen in as we explore what it means to be called by God and why His invitation is inescapable.

"The Way, The Truth, and The Life" – Power and Promise In this message, Pastor Matt explores Jesus' declaration in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Set during Jesus' final moments with His disciples before His crucifixion, this sermon reveals how Jesus used Jewish wedding customs to illustrate His relationship with believers. Just as a Jewish bridegroom would prepare a place for his bride and return for her, Jesus promises to prepare heavenly dwellings for His followers and come back for them. Key Insights: * Jesus doesn't just show us a path—He IS the destination * Christianity isn't about religious performance but about "knowing, growing, and walking closer with Jesus, our eternal Savior" * From our first breath of faith to our final earthly moment, our relationship with Christ should be growing more intimate * Jesus patiently addresses His disciples' confusion and questions, showing us how He meets us in our uncertainty Key Scripture: John 14 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.14.NIV) This message concludes with an invitation for believers who haven't yet been baptized to take this first step of obedience in their Christian walk. As Jesus tells His troubled disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will deepen your understanding of what it truly means to follow Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Are you willing to let Jesus open your eyes? Without Christ, we live in spiritual blindness—searching or longing for something we may not fully understand. Yet, when Jesus meets us in our brokenness, He meets us exactly where we are and offers His transformative power. The key is our willingness to acknowledge our need for Him. Only then can we receive His gift of sight and salvation. Join us as we reflect on the story of the blind man in John 9, exploring how Jesus opens our eyes—both spiritually and miraculously.

Knowing Jesus changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. This perspective shift is necessary for living as Kingdom Citizens with Kingdom attitudes towards our self and others. God gives us wisdom whenever we ask Him and helps us to see our own sins and to know how to walk in wisdom towards outsiders. (See Colossians 4:5-6 with Hebrews 4:14-16)Prepare for this week's teaching by reading Matthew 7:1-6 with 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

3Finally, my brothers,[a]rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. 2Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.3For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God[b]and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh4though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;6as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,[c]blameless.7But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.8Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith10that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,11that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

On this second Sunday of the Lenten season, Pastor Zach continues the sermon series "Turn Your Eyes: Renewed Devotion to Seeing and Knowing Jesus"

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Does the busyness of your daily life make you feel like you should just get away? Perhaps it's a weekend away with friends or with your spouse. You want to recharge from the anxiety you feel in the daily grind of work and home. I wasn't sure, but I had a hunch there would be articles about vacation anxiety. I was right. While the benefits of getting away include lowering stress, improving heart health, boosting creativity, strengthening relationships and keeping you healthy, it seems we need more rules of the road to take a good vacation these days. Taking this time away can add anxiety—financial, the care of your children or pets, leaving projects at work, and countless others. The truth is none of the things that cause you daily anxiety will disappear. They will be there when you come back. How can you incorporate the ultimate peace into your getaway, so it isn't just a runaway from your daily stress and anxiety? You know what I mean. How can you include Jesus in this time? How can you draw closer to Jesus in faith? Jesus is a proponent of getting away. “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place (Mark 6:31-32). You know the feeling of coming and going—days of no leisure and nothing to eat! We have all had these days. Knowing Jesus invited his disciples to recharge, you can be encouraged he wants this for you too. Be mindful of how you consider this time. It isn't an escape, but it can be a time to rest and be in God's Word. If you are spending the time to get away, make sure it is time spent reconnecting with your peace, Jesus. The only real escape for us in this world is Jesus. Abiding with Christ can give us a foretaste of the glory we will have in heaven. We know in heaven Jesus has prepared a space for us, and the Father's house has many rooms. One of the descriptors I love is in Revelation 4:6. … in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal (Revelation 4:6). If you have ever been near still and serene water, you will know why this is so striking. It feels so calm. I am in awe knowing heaven has a sea of glass that I can enjoy for eternity.

Have you ever put Jesus in a box? It's easy for us to shape Christ into the Person we have in our minds, but in doing so, we'll fail to see Him for who He truly is—the great I AM. Jesus is not someone we can mold to our liking; He is the living Savior who deserves our full reverence and trust. By His grace, let's open our hearts to the true Jesus, allowing His nature to shape us—not the other way around. Join us as we discover how God's people can rightly know Jesus.

Knowing Jesus produces a counter-cultural, single-minded passion to know Him more. This is at the heart of the Lenten season. 

This week, we’ll hear from Jay Lowder, an evangelist who has spent more than two decades traveling the globe, sharing the message of the gospel with audiences ranging from NFL teams to prison inmates. Early in his life, Jay struggled with depression which led him to medicate with alcohol, but ultimately brought him no peace from his pain. Feeling like giving up, Jay considered suicide, and he shares about the series of events that led him to finally find the peace he was looking for. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Riley Kehoe, an influencer and author, who shares the harrowing story of how her family survived a tsunami in Thailand when she was just a little girl. Riley recounts the terrifying events of the day, how her family stayed to help those who lost everything, and how she leaned on scripture to deal with the aftermath of such a traumatic event.

I didn't have a connection because I didn't have a relationship to Christ.” - Jay Lowder “I was in such a dark place that I questioned, Was God real? Was everything that I was ever told going to church authentic? Was that real? And I really didn't know the answer to that.” - Jay Lowder “The next thought that goes through my mind is, If God could forgive those Roman soldiers [who crucified Christ], maybe He could forgive me.” - Jay Lowder “I've never been the guy that says, ‘Well you know, if you come to know the Lord, all your problems are going to fade away.’ The truth is if you give your life to the Lord, there may be a season where things get worse.” - Jay Lowder “Knowing Jesus goes way beyond just going to heaven. It even goes beyond being forgiven. It goes to a Friend that's closer than a brother that wants to walk with you, lead you, and guide you. And it goes back to the verse that I heard the night I met Jesus. Christ said, ‘I came to give you not just life, I came to give you an abundant life.’” - Jay Lowder “We would go and do missions work wherever we would land—my family would just find somewhere or someone to love on.” - Riley Kehoe The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami hit the coast of Southeast Asia and with it took 230,000 lives. We were among the few that were survivors.” - Riley Kehoe “I was so confused at the moment, Why are we not leaving this island as quickly as we can? I want to just get back to my life in New Zealand. I want to snuggle my pony and be in my bed. My mom told us, ‘Hey, girls, we're going to stay. We need to have courage to care for others right now, and we need to help these people who have lost absolutely everything.’” - Riley Kehoe “I just want to encourage anyone that there is light and that Jesus will redeem, and He will be with you in your pain and your suffering. He promises to be close to the brokenhearted.” - Riley Kehoe ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

On this first Sunday of the Lenten season, Pastor Kara launches a new sermon series "Turn Your Eyes: Renewed Devotion to Seeing and Knowing Jesus" and begins by exploring the story from Luke 4:1-13

Hi everyone, and welcome! In this podcast, we're joined by Justine Roberts.This recording follows a recent session she had with Steve, where they ran out of time before fully resolving a particular memory. In the days that followed, Justine took time to sit with the unresolved part, creating space to explore the barriers that still needed to be confronted. In that moment, Jesus met her with a beautiful word and picture—one that continues to work its way through her heart and mind.This is so important because we don't want people to become dependent on us to facilitate every encounter with Jesus. Instead, we want to equip them to face the dark places where only the Lord can bring His transformational, experiential truth.CrossCounsel WebsiteCrossCounsel on Facebook

Leslie continues the He Is series with an exploration of Jesus as our Wisdom. We often reason according to human logic, but Heavenly wisdom reasons according to an entirely different pattern. The modern Church is filled with subtle error, so we must apply Heavenly wisdom to every message or idea we encounter. As Leslie explains in this episode, Jesus Himself is the Wisdom of God. Knowing Jesus, walking with Him and being rooted in His Word is what equips us to proactively protect our souls against the enemy's insipid lies and walk in His Heavenly wisdom.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.
