This week at Shiloh, Pastor Bailey takes us into John chapter 10 — where Jesus pulls back the veil and makes it plain: “I am the Door. I am the Good Shepherd.” In this message, we see Jesus not as a distant figure, but as the bold and loving Shepherd who knows His sheep by name, defends them, and lays down His life for them. Pastor Bailey reminds us that Jesus wasn't timid about His identity — He was clear, confident, and unshakably bold about who He was and what He came to do. Through the Word, vivid illustrations, and a call to deeper intimacy, we're invited to hear His voice, follow His leading, and live in the superabundant life that only comes through Him. If He was bold about who He was, we must be bold about who we are in Him. Come rediscover the heart of the Shepherd and declare with us: No one is like Jesus. No one beside Him. He alone is worthy of all praise! Be Jesus!
In Mark 11:27–33 we learn that true wisdom sometimes means asking a thoughtful follow-up question or staying silent. Like Jesus, discern when words help and when silence speaks louder.
Luke 12:16-21
Sermon in a sentence: "If you want uncomplicated relationships, love like Jesus loves."Action Steps:1. Ask, “Who's hard for me to love right now?”2. Do one unexpected act of love3. Invite Jesus to love them through you.
Pastor Ryan Deas calls the church to move from hearing to doing. Jesus commands us to “go” and promises that signs follow believers: casting out devils, speaking with new tongues, and laying hands on the sick (Mark 16:14–20). James urges us to receive the engrafted word and be doers, not hearers only (James 1:19–25). Discipleship means teaching people to observe all Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:19–20). Like Jesus, anointed with the Holy Ghost and doing good(Acts 10:38), we live the Word daily—obeying, praying, praising, and acting in faith.

1 John Chapter 2 - "Walk Like Jesus Walked" by Mission Ebenezer Family Church
In this episode, Dr. Oord interacts with the new book from Greg Boyd and Scott Boren entitled God Looks Like Jesus: A Renewed Approach to Understanding God.In this accessible introduction to understanding the character of God, author Gregory A. Boyd, with M. Scott Boren, lays out the radical truth at the heart of this movement: the conviction that God looks like Jesus. In other words, in the life, ministry, and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, we see the embodiment of God's very essence—a love that is humble, other-oriented, and self-sacrificial.
A base camp is a necessary checkpoint needed to reach the summit. Following Jesus isn't a one-time decision but a lifelong journey with Him. The longer we follow Him, the more He transforms our lives. But sometimes we need to hit pause and make sure He's leading and we're following. In the "Base Camp" series and in our corresponding small groups, we're pausing to breathe, examine the climate we're in, repack our gear, get some nourishment, and make sure we're on the right path to reach the summit. We're taking 7 weeks to discuss some necessary spiritual rhythms so that spiritual growth happens in our lives.
Our current cultural climate is one that is marked by hatred and divisions. If our kids follow the lead of what they are seeing and learning on social media, they will be nurtured into something other than what Jesus commands in John fifteen twelve. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” In his book “Mere Morality”, the late theologian Lewis Smedes tells us that the way Jesus loves us is the norm for how we are to love others. His life is our authoritative model. Smedes goes on to share four truths about how Jesus loves. First, love moved Jesus to help people. Second, love moved Jesus to help all people. Third, love moved Jesus to help all people for their sakes. Specifically, he humbled himself and suffered the agony of human life and the cross for our sakes. And finally, love moved Jesus to help all people for their sakes without regard for cost. This is what we must model and teach if we want our kids to love others as Jesus has loved them.
This Sunday we appreciate the people in our church who give their gifts and time to help Asbury be the wonderful place it is. We get to hear from laity member Teresa Cunningham as she shares the message, “Can We Walk Like Jesus?” Scripture: Matthew 22:35-40; 28:18-20
Colossians 1v28-29 with Christian Dawson Prayer is not only something we say, it's a way we live. In this eight-week series, we'll explore how prayer shapes the whole of our lives: our identity, our relationships, and our purpose in the world. From learning to be with Jesus to cultivating daily rhythms of prayer - morning, midday, and evening. This series invites us into a life formed by prayer in every season. https://bridgetown.church/teaching
When does helping someone cross the line from compassion into condescension? In this episode, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender unpack a viral Supreme Court moment that raises tough questions about empathy, equality, and how we treat others. Learn how to teach your kids the difference between pity and Christ-like compassion—and how true love restores dignity instead of diminishing it.
What if God really looks like Jesus? Not partly loving and partly wrathful, but fully revealed in the crucified Christ. In this conversation, Greg Boyd helps us reimagine everything - our picture of God, how we read Scripture, and how we live in the world. We talk about what it means to see the cross as the center of revelation, how to wrestle with violence in the Bible, and how the way of Jesus invites us into nonviolence, humility, and love for our enemies. Greg also reflects on what it means to be kingdom people within an empire, to follow the Lamb instead of the sword, and to build communities that look more like Jesus.Greg Boyd is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Woodland Hills Church, Maplewood MN. Former professor of theology at Bethel University (St. Paul, MN) and Northern Seminary (Chicago, iL). Author or co-author of 22 books and numerous articles. He and his wife Shelley have been married for 44 years. They have three adult children, six grandchildren, and an adorable though highly eccentric dog.

Message from Tim Kallam on October 19, 2025
Jesus didn't just tolerate people—He welcomed them, especially those society ignored. When He called Matthew and dined with sinners, He did so after first noticing, listening, and drawing near. Listening creates space for relationships. James teaches that listening is essential to godly living—quick to hear, slow to speak. In our divided world, listening like Jesus can open doors the loudest arguments never could. Matthew 9:9–13 (ESV)As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”James 1:19–21 (ESV)Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

This sermon calls believers to live intentionally on mission for Christ. We experience success through three keys: prayer, conduct, and words. We are to pray continually for open doors to share the gospel, live wisely by making the most of every opportunity, and speak with grace—offering truth firmly but kindly. The message emphasizes that God places each of us sovereignly in specific spheres of influence—our families, workplaces, and communities—for gospel impact. Like Jesus, Paul, and Philip, we must see divine appointments as opportunities to share the good news: that all have sinned, Christ died for us, and through faith we receive eternal life.
Families fight - and so do churches. But that's not how it should be. In Philippians 2:1-11, we see how the reality of who Jesus is must determine the way we treat each other. The Son of God gave himself in humble service. How can this shape the way we live together as a local church? And what message will this send to the world when we put it into practice?

Jon Buck's Sermon on 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1, from October 12, 2025.
Big Idea: Just like Jesus… 1 Corinthians 15:35-49I. was transformed through death…1 Corinthians 15:35-38But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come?” You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And as for what you sow—you are not sowing the body that will be, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain. But God gives it a body as he wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.II. was uniquely a child of God…1 Corinthians 15:39-41Not all flesh is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is different from that of the earthly ones. There is a splendor of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; in fact, one star differs from another star in splendor.III. was raised with power… 1 Corinthians 15:42-44So it is with the resurrection of the dead: Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption; sown in dishonor, raised in glory; sown in weakness, raised in power; sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.IV. was eternal… 1 Corinthians 15:45-49So it is written, The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. Like the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; like the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.Next Steps: Believe: I need Jesus to transform my heart today.Become: I will let hope give me power this week. Be Sent: I will work to grow his kingdom this week.Discussion Questions: How did you demonstrate trust in God this week?In what ways can you show humility in your relationships this week?Describe what you think our resurrected bodies will look like.What is one thing that you most want changed about yourself in heaven?How does following Jesus' example shape your goals for this week?How can you show someone what your heavenly father is like tomorrow?Pray for the opportunity to push back darkness this week.
This week, we launched our new series, WWJD?—not just to admire how Jesus lived, but to learn how to live like Him. We began by asking: What would Jesus do when it comes to grief? In John 11, Jesus loses a close friend—Lazarus. He doesn't ignore the pain or rush past it. Instead, He walks straight into the moment with patience, compassion, and truth. He weeps, He listens, He comforts. He reminds us that grief and faith can coexist. And then, He reveals our true hope: “I am the resurrection and the life.” Like Jesus, we are invited to grieve honestly, wait patiently, cling to hope, and stay close to the Father. He meets us in our sorrow—not from a distance, but right in the middle of it. Missed Sunday? Catch up on this week's message from our WWJD? series — all about finding hope and next steps when grieving loss. Read the sermon notes here: Daily Devotional Grief Resources
Message from Tim Kallam on October 12, 2025
In Ephesians 5, Paul lays out the biblical framework for the relationships we have here on earth. In verses 25-30, Paul encourages husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church! Loving your spouse sacrificially and beneficially creates a beautiful connection and intimacy that reflects the love Christ has for his bride, the church.
The early church grew because ordinary people embraced an extraordinary calling—to serve. In Acts 6, we see that true servants prioritize both physical needs and spiritual mission. They step in where others step back, not to gain recognition, but to reflect their Master. Like Jesus, they reject worldly ambition and embrace humble, hands-on ministry. Servants don't just fill roles—they fuel revival. By equipping others and expanding the Kingdom, they show that the heart of leadership is servanthood. When we find our identity in serving, we step into the very heartbeat of Christ's mission.
In this episode of Bible Reading and Coffee Drinking, we explore Romans 12—one of the most practical and powerful chapters in the New Testament. Paul calls us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, and to live out genuine love in community. This chapter shows what real faith looks like in action—humility, service, and grace toward others. Grab your Bible and coffee, and let's discover how to live a life that truly reflects Christ every day.Also, use the code "Podcast20" to get 20% off our entire store.

In this episode of the Ben Barker Fitness Podcast, Ben dives deep into biblical masculinity — what it truly means to be a strong, godly man in today's world. Culture and social media may define masculinity one way, but Scripture calls men to something higher: to lead, love, and live like Jesus.
Be an effective and determined Ambassador of Christ, willing to endure the hardships, while maintaining your integrity and sincere love for others.
