How can I reach my neighbors for Jesus (without being weird)?Many of us interact with our neighbors weekly, if not daily, yet it can be hard to know how to introduce faith topics in a way that doesn't feel awkward or forced. We know sharing the gospel is important, but we just feel stuck. Join Heidi Zimmerman and Dan Gulnac as they talk about practical, natural ways we can disciple our neighborhoods with Jesus.

How do you respond when someone hurts you?Our natural reaction to conflict is often to run away, fight back, hold a grudge, or become bitter. But when Stephen faced rejection, hatred, and ultimately death, his response looked remarkably different. He looked like Jesus.In this final message from Acts 7, Pastor Matt Shackelford concludes the Dwell series by examining Stephen's response when the pressure was at its highest. Rather than retaliating against his enemies, Stephen spoke truth, remained at peace, loved those who hated him, and even prayed for their forgiveness.Through Stephen's example, we see what can happen when a life is filled with the Holy Spirit and focused on Christ.You'll discover how to confront sin without becoming hateful, why the gospel is the only solution for a hardened heart, how preparation produces peace when pressure comes, and how forgiven people can forgive even those who have deeply hurt them.When the pressure is on, the question isn't simply what will you do—it's will you act like Jesus?Scripture: Acts 7:51–60 Series: DwellIf this message encouraged you, subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible teaching from Central Church.

This episode I would have PAID to have in my ears years ago. I was a little confused about some things back then. I had heard that God wanted all people well, but I didn't know how to practically reach out for my healing or how to help others walk in their health.Today we are diving into the Gospels, studying together what Jesus actually said to people to help them get well. You'll hear: 1.     Where in the Bible it tells us we have dominion over our bodies and authority to cast out demons and heal diseases and sickness2.     How to practically speak to our bodies (and the bodies of others) like Jesus did3.     Times I've spoken to my hurt body and even weather, to get it to do what I wanted 4.     Why you don't have to be afraid of crossing paths with a demon and what to do5.     Why even just the presence of you (with Christ inside) is enough to make darkness flee6.     Stories about raising the dead, finding freedom from period pain, deaf ears being opened and MORE!⁠Free PDF mentioned on Believers Authority book⁠Connect with Nyla:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nyla's IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nyla's website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nyla's Christian business podcast On the Job with God⁠⁠

To Become More Like Jesus | Together is the Way | Rick Atchley by The Hills Church

This message walks through the final words of James and asks a simple but serious question: Does our life show what we say we believe? James calls believers to live with real faith, honest repentance, patient hope, powerful prayer, and love that goes after those who have wandered. This is not about being perfect. It's about being changed by Jesus and letting our actions, words, and choices reflect Him every day.

Friendship can be easy when life is convenient, but biblical friendship calls us to something deeper: loyalty, intentionality, vulnerability, and sacrificial love. The relationship between Ruth and Naomi offers a powerful picture of faithful friendship rooted in a shared devotion to God. In this devotional, Emily Rose Massey explores how Ruth’s commitment to Naomi reflects the kind of steadfast love and loyalty Christians are called to demonstrate. Jesus gives us the ultimate example of faithful friendship. He invested His time, attention, affection, and ultimately His life in His friends, showing that genuine love is active and sacrificial. As we pursue Christ and allow His love to shape us, our friendships can become opportunities to encourage others, grow in faith, and point one another toward God. Highlights Discover what Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi teaches us about biblical friendship. Understand how loving God enables us to love others more intentionally. Explore why apathy—not hatred—can be one of the greatest obstacles to meaningful friendship. Learn how Scripture’s “one another” commands help us grow in Christlike relationships. Find practical ways to deepen friendships through conversation, shared activities, meals, and studying Scripture together. See how Jesus modeled sacrificial, selfless, and faithful friendship with His disciples. Consider how your friendships can ultimately glorify God and point others toward Christ.

Full Transcript Below: Becoming a Faithful Friend like Jesus By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading: “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you” (Ruth 1:16-17). “Biblical friendship exists when two or more people, bound together by a common faith in Jesus Christ, pursue him and his Kingdom with intentionality and vulnerability. Rather than serving as an end in itself, biblical friendship serves primarily to bring glory to Christ, who brought us into friendship with the Father. It is indispensable to the work of the gospel in the earth, and an essential element of what God created us for.” -Jonathan Holmes We see evidence of faithful and committed friendships like that in the scriptures: Paul and Timothy, Jesus and His disciples, David and Jonathan, and Ruth and Naomi. Let’s look at an example of loyalty in the life of Ruth in Ruth 1:16-17: “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” John MacArthur calls these verses Ruth’s “hallmark expression of loyalty and commitment to Naomi.” These verses (verses 16, 17) are commonly read at wedding ceremonies to express the depth of faithfulness and commitment in the union of marriage. While there is nothing necessarily wrong with using these verses to express loyalty and love in a marriage relationship, the proper context is rooted in the friendship between these two women, Ruth and Naomi, but it is interesting to note that their friendship was a very intimate one, a soul-quality one- the type of commitment that one would find in a Biblical marriage because it’s foundation is the same, love for God. I believe it’s important to understand where Ruth’s ability to love and be loyal comes from. By God’s grace, Ruth turns away from the paganism of Moab and turns to Yahweh. This response is evidence of her repentance (a turning away from) and her faith (a turning towards) the One, True God. Her conversion to becoming a follower of God is where it all begins. By God’s grace, she becomes a lover of God and receives His love for her and then pours that out on Naomi. Oh, may we do the same! Intersecting Faith & Life: If we love God and we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, God’s love will be evident in our lives by how well we show His love: for Him, most importantly, and for others. If you are born again, God’s love is abiding in you through the Holy Spirit. If that is true for you, is God’s love being perfected in you? How well are you loving others… how purposeful? How intentional are you with reaching out and showing the love of Christ to others? My pastor recently said that the opposite of love is not hate, but apathy. If your love is being perfected, it is growing; it is not apathetic and idle. We can see how God’s love is being perfected in us by how we treat one another. The “One Anothers” in scripture help us to become better friends because they help us love like Christ! There are almost 60 of these verses in the New Testament. Clearly, the most common phrase in the list of “one anothers” is “love one another,” but really all of the verses are about loving one another—because love is an action, and because all of God’s commands can be summarized as loving God and loving your neighbor. Living out these verses in community is how we can love—and be loved—by one another. Ultimately, we must be committed to glorifying God in our friendships, which is a Christ-enabled commitment to love God and love one another. Some practical ways we can grow in our friendships are to look for shared activities that provide an opportunity for us to talk because it is conversation that will deepen the friendship: work days at church, beach days, working out together, shopping together, play dates, and shared meals. Meals slow things down to become people-oriented instead of task-oriented. Conversation is engaged sharing and engaged listening. Let’s find a good balance between the two! If conversation is difficult for you, especially if the friendship is new, think about what to ask your friend on the way to meet with them so you have a fruitful topic you both can talk about casually and openly. Another idea would be to study a book together and use that as a way to start a dialogue. Jesus is our perfect example of how to love others well. How did Christ love His disciples? Jesus taught that friendship is the greatest expression of love. Jesus sacrificed not only by pouring out His life in His devotion to His disciples, His friends, by giving them His time, affection, and attention, but also by literally laying down His life. He laid His life down for His friends. He sacrificed it all, ultimately, in obedience and love for the Father who sent Him, but also because of His great love for His own. By God’s grace, may we all learn how to be sacrificial, selfless, faithful friends just like Jesus!

A Jerk Like Jesus Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 15:21-28Jesus left that place and went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Just then, a Canaanite woman from that region came to him and cried out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” Jesus didn't answer her at all. His disciples said to him, “Send her away from here. She keeps shouting after us.” Jesus replied, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But the woman came, and kneeling before him, said, “Lord, help me.” And Jesus replied, “It is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.” The woman replied, “Yes, Lord. But even dogs get the crumbs that fall from their master's table.” Jesus said, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed, instantly. I make it a point not to compare myself to Jesus – for so many reasons. But I found myself doing just that this week when I sat down to wrestle with this difficult Gospel reading. This one hit differently, for a change, and not in a good way.What I mean is, like we just heard from Jesus, I was sort of a jerk to a couple of people who needed my help this week. I wasn't as mean as Jesus, honestly – I didn't call anyone a “dog” – but I was kind of a jerk, nonetheless. But first, I'd rather talk about talk about Jesus.He and the disciples are spreading the Word, their working miracles, their feeding, healing, and teaching. I'm sure they're still talking about how Peter walked on water, which we heard about last week. And then along comes this woman – a Canaanite woman; a Gentile woman in the land of Gentiles; and she wants to talk to Jesus. She wants his mercy and his blessing and his healing for her sick daughter and she has the nerve to ask him for it.I say “nerve” because she was a Gentile, a Canaanite. She was not a Jew, like Jesus and his disciples. She was NOT one of the “lost sheep of the house of Israel,” as Jesus puts it. And because of that, she wasn't on his agenda or in his plans or on his list of priorities. Even though they were in her neck of the woods – the region of Tyre and Sidon – neither Jesus nor his disciples wanted anything to do with her.“Send her away,” the disciples say, “she keeps shouting after us.” “Lose her before she makes a scene.” And Jesus tries to brush her off, himself: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” “I really am only here for the Jews. Not for Gentiles. Not for Canaanites. Not for the likes of her.”But she doesn't give up. She keeps after him. She persists, like any good mother would, who really wanted help for her sick child. And, even after hearing all of this, she kneels before Jesus, utterly humbling herself, and she begs him … simply … “Lord, help me.”And it gets worse before it gets better. If there's any doubt that Jesus didn't want anything to do with this lady, listen when he says, “It's not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.” That is as bad as it sounds. He compares her to a dog – unworthy of receiving the same blessings he came to share with his fellow Jews; with “the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”*** Now, a little sidebar here. I have preached and taught about this text several times over the years and usually take the same tack … to make it about race, for instance; or ministry to the “other,” for example; or about doing away with the social and cultural divisions that separate people from each other – like how Jesus and his disciples saw themselves as separate from – maybe better than – that Canaanite woman. I like to talk about how even Jesus was influenced by his culture and community and about how even he had to learn and be persuaded to see God's grace as deeper and wider and more all-encompassing than he was first inclined. And I think that is quite a compelling lesson to be learned here. But I've been there and done that – as far as sermons go – so this time around it hit differently, as I said. ***Whatever it was that made Jesus rebuff, dismiss, and ignore the needs of this woman, this is hard to hear because either he meant it, which can't be good. Or because he was messing with her to test the fortitude of her faithfulness, which isn't great, either. Or maybe, like me this week, Jesus was just tired and feeling rushed and put upon and taken for granted by people who needed their emergency to become his emergency at a time when he just didn't feel like he had it in him. (For me it was phone calls and requests from some folks outside of the congregation – none of you, in other words. One was from a guy who needed help at the food pantry – NOW; another was someone looking for marriage counseling; and another was a woman who had a sick child, was out of work following surgery, and who needed help with her rent … IMMEDIATELY.)For what it's worth, like Jesus, I ultimately helped two of them and I plan to call the third. I just wasn't my best self along the way or in my heart of hearts … I was a little slow on the uptake, a little frustrated in the meantime, I was cynical, suspicious, and skeptical about the “need” of their “need.” I dragged my feet and I thought some thoughts, if you know what I mean.So, while I don't like experiencing or seeing or admitting to this side of myself – or to this side of Jesus – bear with me for a minute. To not see this side of the story is to miss something significant; something practical; something holy.Because what we see – for my money – is one of the greatest examples of Jesus' humanity. Even Jesus could put up barriers. Even Jesus had blinders on every now and again. Even Jesus, it seems, had trouble feeling the pain, understanding the need, recognizing the desperation of those who weren't like him. And even Jesus struggled to acknowledge the difference his kind of GRACE could mean for some people.It's not the picture I've painted of Jesus in our heart of hearts, for the most part. It's not the gracious response we've come to expect from our Lord. It's not the open arms and the open heart and the open mind I'd rather tell you about. And if this was true for Jesus from time to time – shouldn't each of us imagine … wonder about … consider deeply ... acknowledge – that it might also be true of us in more ways than we are always able to recognize or willing to admit?And, as hard as it may be to see in Jesus or to acknowledge about ourselves, we should, because I believe what happens next for Jesus, and by God's grace, is the point in all of this.What happens when Jesus encounters this nameless Canaanite woman – seemingly so different from him and his kind – is that he learns something about her, about himself, and about the power and potential of his ministry. This annoying, persistent, desperate woman – searching for her daughter's cure – pushed Jesus and his ministry to a new level. What she showed Jesus and what she shows us is that we can open ourselves up in surprising ways. We learn from Jesus that his ministry – and ours – is for those we don't always understand or “see” and who experience the world differently than we do.The guy who got help from the pantry was humbly grateful for it this week, as he always is. The woman whose rent I paid could barely contain her great joy and sincere gratitude when I called to tell her I was on the way to deliver it – she wept with gratitude and raised a few “hallelujah's.” Her landlord told me I didn't even know the kind of blessing I was able to be for her this week. (Which wasn't me, by the way. I just got to deliver that blessing, thanks to the funds you all contribute to our Pastors' Discretionary Account for such occasions.)So for me, the Good News in this morning's Gospel is found in the humanity we're allowed to see in Jesus – and allowed to acknowledge in ourselves, because of it. The even better Good News in this morning's Gospel is that Jesus, in spite of that humanity, makes a change.And the best news of all in this morning's Gospel is that it's a call to invite that kind of change in ourselves – to slow down and to see people more clearly, more fully, more patiently; for the sake of grace … for the sake of mercy … for the sake of the world our God so loves.Amen

In a world filled with “bruised reeds” and “smoldering wicks,” Jesus shows us what true gentleness looks like. Gentleness is not weakness—it is strength under control, expressed through compassion, patience, and love toward people who are hurting, broken, or losing hope.In this message, we learn that becoming gentle begins by coming under the yoke of Jesus, surrendering control to Him, and allowing Him to carry the weight we were never meant to carry. As we learn from Jesus, pride and self-righteousness give way to compassion, enabling us to see and care for the people around us the way He does.We also discover that gentleness does not mean avoiding discipline, boundaries, or difficult conversations. Like Jesus, we are called to walk alongside others, help carry their burdens, and lovingly train them toward maturity.No matter how bruised, weary, or hopeless you may feel today, Jesus invites you to come under His yoke, learn from Him, and find rest for your soul. His yoke is easy, His burden is light, and He is gentle.

In this episode of Bible Reading and Coffee Drinking, we dive into Philippians 2, where Paul gives us a powerful picture of what it looks like to live like Jesus. We're called to put aside selfish ambition, value others above ourselves, and follow Christ's incredible example of humility and obedience. Paul also challenges us to shine like lights in a dark world and live out our faith in a way others can see. Grab your Bible and coffee, and let's talk about what it really means to have the mind of Christ and live differently because of Him.Also, use the code "Podcast20" to get 20% off our entire store.

Take a few quiet minutes to pray through Matthew 28:20b.In the final words of Matthew's Gospel, Jesus gives his followers this promise: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”This promise is not only for the first disciples. It is for every follower of Jesus. It is for the whole church. It is for you.In this prayer episode, we confess the ways we forget Jesus is near, the ways we worry like we are alone, and the ways we run after things that cannot satisfy. Then we remember the truth: there is nowhere we can go where he is not with us.This Month's Memory Verse:“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”—

In this episode, Jesus washes his disciples feet and tells them that they should follow his example of service!

Pastor Brittany Park unpacks John 13:34–35, inviting us to consider what it means to love one another in the same way Jesus has loved us.

Winning the Mind Games - Part 6 - See the World Like Jesus (Matthew 6:24-34)  Pastor Ron Laney, Pleasant Grove Church, Carthage, MS.  www.PleasantGrove.info  

The film A Hidden Life tells the true story of Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter during World War II. Sickened by Nazi atrocities and believing only Jesus is Lord, Franz refuses to swear allegiance to Hitler and is arrested. The rest of the film shows the anguish this brave stand brings him. Franz’s village treats him with contempt for opposing Hitler’s agenda. Cellmates ridicule his faith, and even some priests think he’s being foolish. “God doesn’t care what you say, only what’s in your heart,” one person says, tempting Franz to “hail” Hitler without meaning it to save his life. “My rock, my fortress,” Franz prays, feeling pressure to recant, “give me strength to follow You.” Psalm 31 is the prayer of a person facing evil powers. “Be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me” (v. 2), David pleads in the face of his own tyrants (vv. 4, 11). His life in anguish and suffering the contempt of his neighbors, David longs to stay faithful under pressure (vv. 3, 10–13). “Into your hands I commit my spirit,” he prays (v. 5), words later echoed by Jesus on the cross (Luke 23:46). Our God never leaves costly faithfulness unrewarded. Franz Jägerstätter stayed faithful to the end. Like Jesus, this faithfulness cost him his life. But just as Jesus was raised from the grave, so Franz will rise one day too.

The Lord has many options for reaching us in a time of need. Certainly one of the most obvious and most important is the local church. In a crisis, help may be as close as the church down the street.

Throughout the Being Human series, we have explored what it means to be created in God's image and restored through Christ. This final message turns our attention to who we are becoming. As we behold Jesus, the Holy Spirit steadily transforms us into His likeness, shaping not only what we believe but who we are. Real discipleship begins in His presence, where our hearts are renewed before our hands are ever called to serve. And as His love takes root within us, it naturally overflows into humble, faithful service toward others. Loving God and loving our neighbor are never separate pursuits. They are the fruit of a life being formed by Christ, leaving behind a legacy that points the next generation and the world around us to the hope found in Him.

You might be the very first credible glimpse of Jesus a person ever encounters. Discover how the Holy Spirit wants to transform us into His living body: displaying His love, seeing with His eyes, and becoming a reflection of Him to a world in desperate need. “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” ⁃ Ephesians 1:22–23 (NIV) If you would like to partner in the work we are doing locally and globally, please visit https://myLOH.church/GIVE

Respond Like Jesus // 1 Peter (Part 4) // Ro Remedios by The Grace Church

Ben had bought pirated computer software for years, simply because it was cheaper. Even though it was illegal and broke copyright laws, he didn’t fell that it was morally wrong. After all, everyone did it, and why should he buy expensive original software? Who would check? After hearing a talk on daily examples of living by God’s standards, however, Ben, a new believer growing in the faith, began to wonder, What does it mean to do the right thing? Ben decided to replace all his software with original versions. It cost a lot more, but, as he explained to his friends, “God knows. And He calls us to do what’s right, right?” In Amos 7, God reminded the Israelites that His standards were impartial and absolute. There was to be no compromise: they applied to all, including His favored nation. His laws and moral standards were like “a plumb line” (v. 8)—a weighted line used by builders to ensure structural integrity by showing if a wall wasn’t being built perfectly vertical. While He may extend mercy, God can’t compromise His justice—which is why He sent His Son Jesus to die in our place as payment for our sin. The Bible shows us whether we’re walking in His way or not. By His grace, God helps those who believe in Jesus to live in a way that pleases Him and brings honor to Him—to do what’s right.
