A Review of Ephesians 1:1-14We have received a spiritual blessing, that is, our salvation through Jesus ChristOur salvation comes by the grace of God, not by any worth that we might bring to the table. God chose us before the foundation of the world, with the purpose of making us holy and blameless, demonstrating that we did nothing to contribute to our salvation, and God provided the sacrifice we needed to be saved and sanctified.Out of God's great love for us, he planned our adoption into his family. We now have sonship or daughtership and God as our Father. This demonstrates God's love for us, our value in Jesus Christ, and the promise of an inheritance.Also, in 1:7-10 we say the redeeming purpose of God. Through the overwhelming graciousness of God, he redeemed our lives through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.Then he promises us an inheritance that is sealed and kept by the Holy Spirit. 1. Paul is celebrating all God has done in the church of Ephesus.Ephesians 1:15–16 Giving thanks is a common theme in Paul's letters to other believers. His letters often start with warm greetings and gratitude for the work of the church or God's work in them.For these things, Paul gives thanks in his prayers, but Paul doesn't pray ordinary prayers.TWO REASONS PAUL GIVES FOR GIVING THANKS:The faith of the Ephesian Church in the Lord Jesus.Paul was not the first person to bring the good news of Jesus to Ephesus, but he found a small group of believers there already, and he found they needed further teaching and a baptism that included the Holy Spirit. The change in the Ephesian church was so radical that it led to riots in Ephesus. Throwing away their idols. Paul also had been away from these believers for some time, and now is in prison, so he is hearing updates of their faith.Saints are not a special group of believers but all of God's believers. Throughout the OT and NT, the Hebrew and Greek words for saint are used to refer to believers.Psalm 16:3, Psalm 34:9, Acts 9:3, Romans 1:6–7, Romans 8:27The love of the Ephesian Church toward all the believers.In this area of Asia Minor or what we would call Turkey - The churches depended on generosity between each other.Philippians 4:10–23 HOW DO WE AS BELIEVERS SHOW LOVE TO ONE ANOTHER?Taking care of one another.Giving to one another - benevolence, blessing box, and helping hands ministryDisaster reliefMontana and VermontGuatemala - homes, churches, and now a crusadeIndia - the church was built to be dedicated.2. Remember to whom we are praying.Ephesians 1:17 The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory . . . Again, Paul is using this title of God and Jesus that emphasizes their relationship. Piper points out that Jesus's connection to God in this way reminds us that Jesus is our mediator. Jesus makes it so that we can approach God - or the throne of Grace. The Father of Glory - the only time Paul uses this exact wording but what does it mean? Father of Glory?1 Corinthians 2:8, Romans 6:4Many people struggle with this concept of God being at the center - and being worthy of worship. But there is none greater than God. Our lives should reflect his glory.3. What is Paul asking God to do for the Ephesians Church?Ephesians 1:17-19
Similarly, Colossians 1:9–11That God would give them . . . The spirit of wisdom . . . And of revelation . . . in the knowledge of him,This wisdom is more than just factual knowledge but a sense of understanding how to apply what we know from the Bible about Jesus and our calling to live a holy life.2 Timothy 1:7 And it is how God has revealed Himself to us through His word so we can know him. General revelation v. special revelation.. . . Having the eyes of your heart enlightened . . . Open the eyes of my heart as compared to what happened in the Garden of Eden. 2 Corinthians 4:4–6, Romans 1:21–22, Romans 2:1–5, Colossians 3 . . . That you may know . . . The hope to which he called youThe riches of his glorious inheritance in the saintsThe immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe4. By God's Power He is at work in our lives, in creation, and in the heavenly places.Ephesians 1:19–23 His Great Might.He worked in Christ :Resurrection PowerPhilippians 3, Job 19:25, Romans 8:34, 1 Peter 1:3, John 11:25–26 Sovereign PowerEphesians 3:20, Hebrews 10:12–14 Paul uses language that refers to OT passages:Isaiah 40:25–26, Psalm 147:4, Psalm 8 From Adam to Israel to the 2nd Adam - God is at work bringing all things back in order under the Lordship of Christ and as head of the church. LAST QUESTION: HOW DO WE PRAY THIS PRAYER? Ephesians 1:15-23. No Ordinary Prayers: The Greatness of God in Paul's Prayer

Listeners! It's been awhile. Lauren and Rochelle are back for a powerful episode on what it means to make Jesus Lord of our life, why it's important, and how to develop hearts of worship.

In this episode, we're talking about the Lordship of Jesus—not as some abstract, future hope, but as a present, concrete reality. Too often, modern evangelicalism has reduced Christ's Lordship to the realm of private salvation, personal piety, and quiet devotion. But the Bible paints a much bigger picture.Paul tells us in Romans that Abraham was promised the world as his inheritance. Salvation is cosmic. Christ's resurrection victory is undoing sin across creation. And as Abraham Kuyper famously said, there is not one square inch of human existence over which Christ does not declare, “Mine.”When we treat Lordship as merely individual, we lose courage, we retreat into privatized religion, and we avoid confronting the idols of our culture. But when we confess that Jesus is Lord over family, church, state, and the whole created order, then our faith takes flesh. It marches, sings, builds, and leaves an imprint of righteousness wherever it goes.This is no Gnostic mantra. “Jesus is Lord” is our dogma, and it means the earth belongs to Him and His people. The spoils of His victory are not hidden away for later—they are for His church to claim here and now.Omnia et in omnibus Christus. Christ all and in all.

In this week's message, “To Be and Not to Be: It Isn't a Question” from our 1 Peter series, Pastor Ruben Hernandez unpacks 1 Peter 1:13–16 and reminds us that holiness is not optional. It's a command for every believer. As chosen exiles, our identity in Christ calls us to live differently in a world that often opposes Him. Pastor Ruben highlights three key truths. 1) We are called to be obedient children who submit our desires to God's will, even when it's uncomfortable or doesn't make sense. 2) We are to be holy rather than worldly, no longer shaped by the passions of our former ignorance but set apart for God. 3) We are to take this call to holiness seriously, recognizing it as a command that strengthens our witness and reflects God's character to a watching world. These reflection questions can help us examine our hearts: Have we fully submitted to Christ's Lordship? Does our manner of life show obedience to our Heavenly Father? Are we shaped more by the world or by Christ? Ultimately, this passage calls us to fix our hope on the grace revealed in Jesus Christ and to pursue the holiness of the One who has called us. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_22164002957944c69b89811ee84b6024.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_fc56e537d9ea44aa98f07fa54d0befb7.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

People have a lot of opinions about Jesus. But what does Jesus say about himself? In the final question he poses to the religious leaders, Jesus makes clear that he is not just the Messiah, but he is Lord. Submitting to Jesus' Lordship now will be our commendation, but our rejection of it will be our condemnation later.

We are the covenant people of God; at least that is what each of us under the Lordship of Jesus signed up for.  But like old testament Israel, have a name and having a life are vastly different.  God chose Israel but Israel did not choose God.  They chose religion.  They chose the celebrations.  They chose to be a people.  But they did not choose to be the people of God.  Why?  What was missing?  What is missing in much of the body of Christ today?  Brian Higbee explores what it means and how to be the covenant people of God.  Check it out.

As open the letter to the Ephesians, we can jump right into it without much introduction and through the leading of the Holy Spirit, we we will be so blessed by the power and beauty of this letter. But we would probably prefer at least some background information to use as on ramp tonight to the book of Ephesians.Paul is and in the early church fathers is recognized as the author of Ephesians. Practically speaking is one of the Epistles, a letter to the church similar to Galatians, Philippians and Colossians. It most similar to Colossians and some modern scholars have used those similarities to question whether or not Paul is actually the author of Ephesians. For full disclosure, the debate of Paul's authorship rises over a few issues that some scholars have made a big deal over.Some of the early copies of Ephesians that we have do not have the name “Ephesians” in the title.It was likely an encyclical letter - sent to all the churches.We know Paul used an amanuensis and copies of the letter were made at the time of writing the original.Many of the copies we have do include the title Ephesians. The letter seems to read more generically to the church and does not focus on some specific controversy or rebuke such as in Galatians or the Corinthian letters.It seems like a fake argument to me. Paul wrote letters to the churches based of the needs of those churches. His emphasis on the unity between Jews and Gentiles through the cross of Christ would have been specific to Ephesus but was probably a very common theme in many of the Greek and Roman communities where Paul preached the Gospel.Colossians has similarities to Ephesians in a way that some insist the author of Ephesians leaned on Colossians to write Ephesians.While I know that smarter men than me have studied these ideas in greater detail, I agree with the commentaries that take on these questions and recognize that there is no evidence, even with the shared similarities, that indicates which epistle was written first or why similar language between the letters would cause us to question Pauline authorship. Some of the language the author uses, vocabulary and phrases, is unique to the letter to the Ephesians.Once again, the uniqueness of some of the phrases or theological points made in Ephesians does not require a different author. We would recognize that Paul explains the gospel from different angles and does so based on his audience which would require using different words, phrases, or even different concepts that work to explain God's mystery of the Cross to us.Apostleship: An Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God. Paul has the title of Apostle. An apostle by definition is “a sent one”. And this would make Paul An Apostle of Jesus Christ because Paul encounters Christ on the road to Damascus and Jesus saves him and through Ananias, gives the call on Paul's life “he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.” Acts 9:15.There were three qualifications to be considered an apostle in the early church. A disciple of Jesus.An eye witness to the resurrection.Called and commissioned directly by Christ.We will discuss Paul's calling and ministry more when we get to chapter 3.Audience: The Church in Ephesus In modern day Turkey, ancient Ephesus was ruled first by the Greeks and then by the Romans. Paul would have been in Ephesus under Roman rule. It was a relatively large city with all of the Greek and Roman traits; wealth, multicultural community, amphitheater, temples, idolatry, immorality, etc.The Big Picture Paul's letter has been divided up into 6 chapters and there are a few different ways we can outline his letter and the main ideas that Paul was teaching.From the Bible Project: Two Main sections C. 1-3 and then C. 4-6. Chapter 1-3 are much more theological, describing how we are saved or laying out for us SOTERIOLOGY. And Paul explains our unity in Christ between Jews and Gentiles. Chapters 4-6 Paul teaches us about the church Chapter 4-6 are explaining how our salvation should then change our lives, how God calls us to serve him, treat one another in the home and our community, and the spiritual resources we have in Jesus to stand firm on our faith.One way to see how this unfolds in the book is by seeing how some of the terms Paul uses changes through the latter.The opening of Paul's song emphasizes the worship of God and reminds of the position of God the Father and Jesus the Son as well as the Lordship of Jesus and his office of Messiah. Paul is praising God in this Jewish way similar to the Schema - “Hear O Israel The Lord our God, the Lord is One. Through this prayer he has reminded us of the trinity with the role of the Holy Spirit coming just a few verses later.Spiritual Blessing in the Heavenly Places - What are the spiritual blessings we are given for which Paul is giving thanks? We were chosen in Jesus before the world was created. PLEASE DON'T PANIC OVER THE WORD CHOSEN. 2. We were chosen by his grace and not based on our own good works. It is obvious in the text that God chose us knowing that we need a Savior and subsequently with the plan to send the Savior all along. He did not pick us because of something we would do or because of our class or our potential. In fact it reads to me that He chose us because we are sinners and we would need a savior.3. We are adopted to part of God's family through Jesus. IN LOVE - The placement of this phrase could point back to “chosen” or it could point forward to predestined - either way these action are done as a result of God's love.4. We are blessed by this Salvation according to God's will, by his glorious grace, and through the Beloved - Jesus Christ.Let's pause here for just a minute - two tracks in scripture. Chosen and whosoever will. Ephesians 1:3 and John 3:16. There is no contradiction.We are called to witness, be missionaries - which is what Paul was doing - and while I am doing that work I know it is only Jesus that saves.Our salvation only comes through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Jesus went to the cross and shed his blood for us. Let's remember our Hebrews study - Jesus is the final sacrifice. He is the Lamb of God who tales away the sins of the world. But all the animals and the blood that was spilled for atonement were a shadow - an imperfect offering looking to the things ahead - until Jesus could offer the perfect, fulfilling sacrifice.It's out of the riches of his Grace! The imagery here is of wealth and opulence. But God does not here offer something that will rust be lavishes on us his Grace.  The idea of the mystery of God's plan or his will has finally been revealed through Jesus Christ. Where we can understand in part through reading the prophecies of the Old Testament, we are now on the other side of the cross and see more fully - certainly not all - but the mystery of God's plan.We have an inheritance that comes to us through Jesus Christ. In Him! Spiritual Blessing. We are heaven bound. Do you remember when you were saved? Not a date or moment. Do you remember when you heard the truth? Do you remember when you believed? It is then that you were sealed.

What do you pray when enemies surround you?Psalm 109 is raw, intense, and fiercely honest—a prayer for justice when evil strikes.David sang it. Jesus fulfilled it. The Church still needs it.Sermon Outline:I. IntroductionII. A Look at Psalm 109III. Six Imprecatory PrinciplesIV. The One Big LessonSermon Discussion Questions:1. When you're slandered, mistreated, or falsely accused, do you first run to God in prayer like David did in Psalm 109:4—"But I give myself to prayer"?2. How does your understanding of the nature of Scripture—“breathed out by God” (2 Tim. 3:16)—shape your willingness to engage with difficult texts like the imprecatory psalms? 3. Is it possible that comfort, safety, or prosperity have dulled your sense of the spiritual war raging around you?4. How do you hold together the biblical tension of praying for God's judgment upon the wicked while also longing for their repentance and salvation?5. Have you fully surrendered to the Lordship of Christ or are you still resisting Him as an enemy of God?

(John 5:1-9) At the Pool of Bethesda in John 5, a man crippled for thirty-eight years waits by a superstition for healing—hoping an angel might stir the waters. But when Jesus approaches him and asks, “Do you want to be healed?”, the man responds not with faith but with a narrative of blame and misplaced hope. He believes the problem is that others won't help him and that healing lies in the water—not in the One standing before him. Yet Jesus doesn't offer technique or sympathy; He offers Lordship. True healing, the passage shows, doesn't come through self-diagnosis, cultural remedies, or emotional management, but through surrender to the authority of Christ. This man, like many of us, wants healing without disruption, freedom without obedience. But Jesus heals by commanding—not coddling—because He is not a tool for wellness, but the Lord of wholeness. Only when we relinquish our narratives and submit to Him do we discover a deeper healing—one that outlasts trauma, transcends pain, and restores us to God.

Thank you! --- “I haven't believed enough that he is enough.” That's what Br Angelo says as a guest on this episode, and how true is it for each of us? Even when we experience God's goodness, repeatedly and in big and small ways, it can be a struggle to keep believing that God is enough. He is LORD. He is enough, and we only have to give him permission to work. It sounds simple, but it can be tough when we've faced rejection in other areas of our lives. How do we believe? How do we find the courage and take the risk—to learn he always shows up? Surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. It can be a struggle, but while we might have many struggles, this is the right one.

In the wake of John MacArthur's death, how do we avoid falling into the trap of hero worship or idolatry? How can we examine his life so we keep the good things he taught and avoid carrying forward his mistakes? Few American pastors have had a longer or more impactful ministry than John MacArthur. From his focus on sequential expository preaching to his emphasis of Lordship salvation, to his late-in-life transition from Arminian to Reformed soteriology, John MacArthur helped reform the American church in significant ways. But like any man, Pastor MacArthur was not perfect and made decisions and had practices that we should not emulate. In this episode, we discuss John MacArthur's life and attempt to unpack the aspects that should be emulated and those that should be discarded. We believe that this is a God-honoring practice that helps keep us from idolatry and worship of man. Please join us as we discuss this important topic.Listen to the audio version here: Timecodes00:00:00 Intro00:03:14 Expository Preaching00:10:22 Lordship Salvation00:26:39 Charismania00:32:54 Bible Commentaries00:36:52 Sabbath00:50:50 Dispensational Eschatology00:54:48 Cessationalism01:04:34 COVID01:07:05 Celebrity Pastor01:13:25 Money01:15:05 ConclusionProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Most people don't understand authority. It is either seen as an opportunity or a travesty, a means of personal power or a tool for the subjugation of the weak by the strong. Both of these views share the same misunderstanding of authority—-and it is into this misunderstanding that the gospel speaks. When we understand authority rightly we can live as citizens of Christ's kingdom in a way that manifests his lordship, blesses our neighbor, and glorifies our Father in Heaven. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on Colossians 3:18–4:1, sharing four truths about authority found in the text: Christ as Lord radically redefines authority; before Christ all are equal; by Christ submission is qualified; and in Christ authority is submission. Sunday Morning Worship // June 27, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: How does Paul anchor authority and submission in the Lordship of Christ? How are our understandings of authority and submission distorted by culture and experience? How are they distorted by the disordered loves of our hearts? How do Jesus' cross, resurrection, and ascension to the Father's right hand each reshape the way we understand authority and submission? What will it look like for you to exercise authority this week as an act of Christ-like service? What will it look like for you to submit to imperfect leaders, remembering Christ and honoring him as Lord? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

Someone Wants to Dominate You!"In the Christian life, we don't only face temptations and trials — we also face attempts of spiritual, emotional, and even mental domination. The Bible warns us that the enemy seeks to control us and pull us away from God's purpose.There is a spiritual warfare for the control of your soul… and you need to make the right decision for your life. Hear the Word and run to JESUS!In this message, you will discover:How to recognize when someone (or something) is trying to dominate you.What God's Word says about true freedom in Christ.Biblical keys to keep your heart, mind, and will under the Lordship of Jesus — not under the enemy's manipulation.“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32

If you are “in Christ,” the “automatic download” you receive is out of this world (literally). Key biblical phrases like “in Him,” “in Christ,” and “in the Lord” indicate the benefits you receive the moment you become a child of God under the Lordship of Jesus. Ephesians 1:11 declares “in Him we have obtained an inheritance.” But you can't partake of an inheritance until you are aware of it.

Daily Dose of Hope July 25, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 28:16-20   Prayer:  Almighty Father, Thank you for a new day and thank you that your mercies are new every single morning.  How grateful we are that we can start afresh and anew each day.  Forgive us for the many times we fell short, for when we weren't loving, for when we were easily angered, for when our patience wore thin. Today, help us represent you well.  In all things, may we be reminded who and whose we are.  We are yours.  In Your Name, Amen.   Today's reading includes the Great Commission, which we find in Matthew 28:16-20.  If you don't recall, this is when Jesus tells his follows, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”   There is a fair amount to unpack here but what I want to focus on is making disciples.  Keep in mind that Jesus wasn't merely suggesting we make disciples.  It feels much more like a command here.  As his followers, we are to make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them the ways of Jesus.  We don't do this alone, but we rest in the promise that Jesus is with us all the time, guiding and leading us through the power of the Holy Spirit.   But here is the big question: What does it mean to be a disciple?   It's fairly simple.  A disciple is an apprentice of Jesus. It is someone who actively is working/training to become more like Jesus (to do what Jesus does). A disciple is not someone who has simply said yes to Jesus, a disciple is someone who is actively training in the ways of Jesus and training others in the ways of Jesus.   Discipleship is not simply some acts of personal devotion in the morning, some bible study, prayer, and meditation. That may be a component of discipleship but there is so much more to it!  Being a disciple is not something we do at church and then set it aside as we go back into the real world. Being a disciple is about devoting our whole life to being like Christ. Our whole life. It effects every area of our life. How can it not?   Let's think about Jesus. In every area of his life, he taught about God. He taught about God's Kingdom, he showed people this new way of being human. There was never a time where he said, “No, now this part of my life, faith doesn't affect this. Leave me alone and let me do my own thing.”  Discipleship is intricately connected to Lordship. There is no part of our life that does not fall under God's reign. There is no part of our life that we don't submit to God.   But how do we make disciples?  Well, first, we have to become disciples ourselves.  We have to be training to be more like Jesus.  There is intentionality in this.  How are you training to be like Jesus?  What is your plan for spiritual growth?  Once you have reflected on this, then think about how you will teach and train others.  This is a privilege and responsibility that every single Christ-follower has.  Every one of us.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki    

The sermon explores the concept of lordship, emphasizing that it's not a one-time commitment but a continuous, daily choice to follow Christ and yield to His will. Drawing from biblical examples like Joshua, Daniel, and Abraham, the message underscores that true lordship involves surrendering one's will to God, embracing obedience over mere intellectual knowledge, and taking small, consistent steps of faith. The speaker challenges listeners to move beyond superficial understanding and embrace a life of total abandonment to Christ, recognizing that genuine discipleship requires relinquishing control and trusting in God's guidance, ultimately leading to a life of purpose and blessing.

Living in God's Will is to Live Under His Lordship

We reject Jesus because we don't want to surrender lordship of our own kingdom. We feel like we have too much to lose. The gospel teaches us that whatever we lose by surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus doesn't compare to what we lose when we fight to keep the lordship over our own kingdom. To keep lordship over our own kingdom brings death (v. 43-45), but to surrender it bring life (v. 46-50)

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Roy Salazar from Richland Hills, TX. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping bring God's Word to life—one chapter at a time. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 12:1-12: And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. When the season came, he sent a servant to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent to them another servant, and they struck him on the head and treated him shamefully. And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.' But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' And they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this Scripture: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?” And they were seeking to arrest him but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they left him and went away. — Mark 12:1-12 Jesus tells a parable—but it's not entertainment. It's a confrontation. A vineyard. A landowner. Servants. A beloved son. Each one represents something. Or someone. It's a story with layers, but one message cuts through. This story exposes the hearts of everyone listening. It exposed the religious leaders. They knew it was about them. It exposes the history of Israel, rejecting the prophets, and then the Messiah. But it also exposes us. Because we are the tenants, too. We like the blessings of the vineyard. We enjoy the freedom, the opportunities, and the fruit. But when the Owner shows up asking for a return—when the Son comes to claim what's his—something in us resists. We don't want to hand over control. We don't want accountability. We want ownership without obedience. This story reveals what's always been true: Rejection of Jesus doesn't start with violence. It starts with self-preservation. This story isn't about a land and time from long ago. It's about what Jesus finds when he steps into your heartland. Does he find surrender? Or resistance? Worship? Or entitlement? It's easy to think this is about “those” who rejected him. However, this is a story that exposes all of us, the subtle ways we push Jesus aside because we want to stay in control. So, will your life be built on him, or broken apart by resisting him? Because you can't just admire the Son. You must answer to him. You can't keep enjoying the fruit of God's goodness while ignoring the Owner's voice. Jesus is coming to inspect the vineyard. He will ask for fruit. And when he does, he won't settle for excuses. He'll be looking for surrender. So be honest today. Have you truly given him everything? Or are you just leasing space in your heart, while living like it's still yours? He's not just the cornerstone. He's the Owner. And one day, he's coming back to collect what belongs to him. #HeartCheck, #Mark12, #JesusIsLord ASK THIS: What part of this parable speaks directly to your life right now? What are you tempted to claim as “yours” that actually belongs to God? Why do we resist the authority of Jesus when we love the benefits of his kingdom? How would your life look different if you lived like Jesus truly owned it? DO THIS: Ask Jesus to search your heart. Where are you resisting his authority while enjoying his blessings? PRAY THIS: Jesus, you are the rightful owner of everything in my life. Expose the places I've closed off to you—and give me the courage to surrender them. Amen. PLAY THIS: "I Surrender."
