Mister Rogers made it famous, but Jesus said it first: "Love your neighbor." You can't change the world by minding your own business, and Jesus never intended us to keep love at a distance. When we step across fences, sidewalks, and comfort zones to love our neighbors, we not only look more like Jesus - we just might change the world.
"Acting Like Jesus" Pastor Daniel Kraft 11.2.25
Sunday AM Worship - 11/02/2025
Everyone has hopes and dreams for the future, but James reminds us in James 4:13–17 that life is uncertain and brief, and our plans must include God. Too often we live as if we control the future, separating faith from daily life. Instead, we're called to say, “If the Lord wills,” trusting His sovereignty in everything we do. Like Jesus, we should focus on what God has given us to do and live each day with humility, urgency, and purpose—using our time to bring glory to God.
November 2, 2025 SHINE - Philippians Series Live A Humble Mindset Like Jesus Philippians 1:27-2:11 Pastor Jim Rutherford
As Jesus taught His disciples, He used Himself as the one they should model themselves after. They were to love others as He loved them. Seven coordinating blogs begin here: https://lightofchristjourney.com/?p=19740 A video of this story can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/qAg8bHJJaS0
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
God didn't just tell you what he wants you to do—he showed you how to do it. When it comes to ministry, Jesus gave us the perfect model and then promised a personal coach: the Holy Spirit, living inside you. In this series, Pastor Rick shows how Jesus not only explains the assignment—he works through you to accomplish it.When Jesus began his public ministry, he made it clear who he came to help—the poor, the brokenhearted, the imprisoned, the blind, and the oppressed. In this series, Pastor Rick challenges us to help these same people, following the example Jesus set.The poor come in many forms. Some lack the money to meet basic needs, others lack a moral compass, and still others are spiritually poor—unaware of the hope and salvation Jesus offers. In this message, Pastor Rick calls us to meet each type of need with compassion and truth. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1103/29

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.

After all, there were no immediate incentives—no promises of instant and lasting health; no promises of a life of exorbitant happiness; no promises of immediate and continued wealth and no promises of adoring popularity. There were, however, plenty of deterrents. In fact, anyone who became a Christ follower back then could expect a largely negative response from others. So, what in the world convinced them to make such a commitment? Surprisingly, it was the people in the church. And unsurprisingly, it is the same thing today. That's what we want to explore in our new series which we are calling, “Stand Out.”

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.

Thanks for tuning into the “Encouragement Expert Podcast” Wes Daughenbaugh speaks on Blind & Deaf Like Jesus.
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.
