THE JESUS WHO FOLLOWS ME | Catholic Homily You can believe in Jesus. Love Jesus. Call Him Lord. And still spend your life trying to lead Him. In this homily for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Jim Chern reflects on one of the most jarring moments in the Gospel: only moments after Peter correctly identifies Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” he begins telling Jesus what His mission should—and should not—look like. Peter wants Jesus. He just wants Jesus according to Peter's plan. And that raises an uncomfortable question for every Christian: Who's leading whom? We can ask Jesus to bless our plans, our relationships, our ambitions and our picture of the future—but discipleship means leaving Him enough room to interrupt those plans, redirect us, challenge us, and sometimes ask us to surrender something we never expected to give up. Because if Jesus can never tell me no, never redirect my plans, never challenge me, and never ask me to let something go… “I've created a Jesus who follows me. And that Jesus cannot save me.”
Our love for Jesus grows as we remember his compassion, power, truth, and saving grace.► Gather with us live online and in person every Sunday at 9:30a and 11:00a: https://live.fbcw.org/► Watch/listen to our services: https://fbcw.org/worship-with-us/► Give to help our mission: https://fbcw.org/give/
Can you genuinely love Jesus and still feel stuck? Yes—and admitting it isn't failure. It may be where freedom begins.In Week 1 of The Pursuit of Freedom, Pastor Clint Lamberth teaches from Luke 4:18–21, where Jesus announces that He came to set captives free. But some prisons don't have bars. They can look like shame you can't shake, fear that controls your decisions, anger, unforgiveness, unhealthy habits, a need for approval, or wounds caused by what someone else did to you.Jesus didn't come simply to make bad people behave. He came to rescue people who cannot rescue themselves.In this message, you'll discover:Why you can love Jesus and still struggle to live freelyHow hidden chains can quietly control your lifeWhy willpower alone cannot produce lasting freedomHow honesty with God becomes the beginning of healingWhy Jesus—not better behavior—is the source of true freedomTake a moment and ask yourself:What have I been calling normal that Jesus may be calling captivity?What's still holding me back from living free?If this message encouraged you, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe for more messages from Oasis Church.
Start With Love Psalm 63:1 “O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” When I read this verse, I thought it did a great job explaining our yearning for God. We all need God in our lives. We are desperate to have him in our lives. This verse shows this in a way I don't think I could. It also helps me realize how much I need God. Have you ever read something and then realized that was exactly how you felt, and you didn't really know it before you read it? I knew I loved God, and I knew I longed for God. However, I couldn't describe it until I read this verse. My soul thirsts for Him. My flesh faints for Him as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. There is no water if God is not in my life. My life is a dry and weary land when I don't call upon God. Carrie Underwood has a song called “What I Never Knew I Always Wanted.” I have not heard this song before, and yet I found it today while looking up something. This song was not written about Jesus. I believe it was written about her child, judging from the other words. However, the chorus speaks to how many of us feel about Jesus. The chorus says: I finally found what I never knew I always wanted I couldn't see; I was blind 'til my eyes were opened I didn't know there was a hole Something missing in my soul 'Til you filled it up with your love I think so many people are walking around this world right now, and they don't know God is what they have always wanted. They know they have a hole; they know something is missing in their soul, and yet they don't know what it is. I like the line; I couldn't see; I was blind 'til my eyes were opened. How can we help them open their eyes? The next line in this chorus might be giving us the answer to that very question. I didn't know there was a hole, something missing in my soul, ‘till you filled it up with your love. What if we worked on filling people up with love? What if we showed people so much love that they realized that it was what they had been missing in their lives? We can't fill them up with our love, though. Our love is broken and judgmental. Our love is not perfect love; it is flawed, and it can hurt others, even when we don't want to. However, if we filled them up with God's Love, the love of Jesus, they would feel an unconditional love that would fill the hole in their soul. I know you are already asking yourself, how do I do that? How do I love with Jesus' love and not my own love? I know you are asking this because I am asking this, too. We are all called to be a reflection of Jesus. We are called to love like He loved. How did Jesus love? We can't be expected to love like Jesus if we don't know how He loved. The best way to know this is to look back at scripture. Jesus Christ set a perfect example of kindness and love. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus showed His love for others by blessing and serving the poor, the sick, and the distressed. Jesus did not run away from the leapers as most people did at the time. He touched them, and He healed them. He did not turn away anyone who needed help. How can we show Jesus' love to others like this? How can we bless and serve the poor, the sick, and the distressed? Some people listening to this can go out and volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food pantry. Maybe you would rather volunteer at a hospital or somewhere you can help out with people who are sick. Maybe you would like to be a hospice volunteer and sit with those that are dying and have no one to be with them. However, others are listening, and you are thinking your days of helping the poor or the sick are over because you can't get out of the house to volunteer anywhere. I assure you, your days of helping are not over. They have just changed. Now, instead of going and doing the volunteer work by hand, you can pray for those in need, and you can pray for people to answer God's call to go and help. St. Terese of Lisieux is the patron saint of missions, even though she was never healthy enough to go on one. She didn't let her health stop her from praying for everyone who could go on missions. Jesus also showed his love for others by not making people feel bad for their actions or who they were. God didn't condemn the tax collectors or the Roman soldiers. He didn't condemn the woman who was caught in adultery or the woman at the well who had been married several times and was living with a man she was not married to. In the beginning, the Love Jesus had for everyone brought people to Christianity. People found a love they had not known before when they found Jesus. They were used to rules and judgment. They were used to following God, which required so much of them. They found this new religion fascinating. A religion where God just wanted to love you and to be loved. He did not require much on your part. People could come as they were. They were not expected to be perfect because Jesus set the bar when he said in Mark 2:17, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.” The apostles were not going out and only talking to the Jewish people who knew God and were already following the laws. They were talking to everyone who would listen, and they were preaching about God's love. Who doesn't want to be loved? Who doesn't want to be accepted? I think we have lost this idea of talking about God's love somewhere along the way. Somewhere along the way, we started talking more about the legalistic side of Christianity, especially Catholicism, than we do about the love Jesus had for everyone. Yes, there is a right and a wrong way to live. God tells us what the right and wrong way is in His Scripture. However, we will never get a chance to show people the benefit of living God's way if we don't start loving them right where they are at first. People want to be accepted for who they are, and they want to be met where they are at. Jesus didn't tell the tax collectors He would have dinner with them when they changed their lifestyle. He loved them while they were sinners and told them He had so much more for them. If people feel loved and accepted, they will be open to hearing what you have to say. We want people to know all the things Jesus says. We want people to live according to God's ways, and we want this because we care about their souls. This is a great thing. I am not saying we are wrong to care about the way people are living their lives. I am saying if we want to save their soul, we need to start with loving them just as they are. The way to get people to want to save their own souls, which is the only way anything will change, is by being a reflection of God's love. Love them as Jesus does. Love them in all their imperfections and all their messiness of life. Do not continually tell them they need to change who they are; shower them with so much love, tell them about Jesus and how much He loves them, just as they are, and pray for them. Your prayers will do so much more than your nagging will. If people feel judged, they will not ask questions; they will not be open to hearing anything we have to say. I believe what God needs most from us is not us judging others and trying to talk them into changing their behaviors. What He needs most from us is our loving others like Jesus did. He needs us to love them so much they ask themselves, “How can I love as much as that person does? How can I love so unconditionally? How can I be so accepting of people? How can I love so freely?” When they ask those questions, then they will be open to hearing about the Gospel and about a God who loves them completely. Can we do that? Can we love others like Jesus did? Can we lead with love first? Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we long for you just as the verse says. Our souls thirst for you as one would thirst for water in a dry land. Lord, we love you, and we want to bring others into a personal relationship with you. Help us do this. Please help us to understand how to love others as you did. Show us where in our lives we are falling short of this, Lord. Give us the strength to hold our tongue and to not nag our loved ones to do what we want them to do. We are coming from a loving place, Lord; we want to save their souls. Yet we know you are the only one to do that, Lord. Help us to learn to say less to the person and pray more to you. Help us to truly turn them over to your loving care, Lord. You care more about their souls than we ever could. Help us, Lord; we are trying. We are so grateful for all you do. You give light to our lamps, and you brighten the darkness about us. You are the word of God, and you are the word of life. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name. Amen.

In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, renowned singer, songwriter, worship artist, and author, Christine D’Clario, opens up about her battle with postpartum depression, suicidal thoughts, and the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly within Latin American culture and the Church. Christine shares what her darkest seasons taught her about faith, asking for help, and finding hope when God feels distant. We also dive into her newest book, Healing in the Desert: Finding Your Voice on the Journey from Brokenness to Freedom, and the powerful reminder that our deserts don’t have to be the end of our story…they can become the places where God restores our voice, heals our wounds, and leads us toward freedom.

Join us as Pastor Chris continues our summer series, titled The Upper Room.
Religion celebrates the ones who never left. Jesus celebrates the ones who come home. The lost sheep did not find its way back on its own. It froze, hid, and waited in silence until someone came looking. That someone was the shepherd. And when he found it, there was no lecture. Just joy. Who in your life is hiding in a thicket right now, waiting for someone to come after them? The Kingdom of heaven is not built on counting sheep. It is built on carrying them.
What happens when a church moves beyond talking about its mission and begins praying for it? In this unique message, Don invites Cary Alliance to put its vision into practice through corporate prayer. Rather than another sermon, the church pauses to seek God together—praying over worship, discipleship, fellowship, outreach, and missions. Don reminds us that the church is more than a collection of individuals; it is the body of Christ, called to love one another, serve its community, and proclaim the gospel to the nations. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by Cary Alliance's mission to "Love Jesus and Reach People," this service challenges believers to align their hearts with God's purposes, depend on Him in prayer, and become a people whose lives reflect Jesus. Discover why prayer isn't just part of the mission—it is the foundation that empowers everything the church is called to do.
Send me a Text Message!In John 15 there is a serious call to love God's Words, to make them an always-there part of our hearts. Jesus uses the word, "remain." Remain in me. Let my words remain in you. Remain in my life. Remain. What we will find in this episode is that there is a connection that goes beyond metaphor into the land of mystical, a connection between Jesus, who is called "The Word" and the Word which we call our Bible. It's almost like God speaks and every time God opens his mouth, Jesus comes out. Here's the point, "I can't love Jesus, if I don't love the Word!

How Do We Love Jesus?Andy Rodgers walks through John 21:1–22, and three simple truths about what loving Jesus looks like. It starts with receiving his love, loving the people he loves, and following him to the spaces and places he calls you to. (Even when it's painful because he is good and wants good for us.)
In this homily given on the 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time (June 28, 2026), Father Mathias preaches on one of the most difficult teachings of Jesus: whoever loves parents or children more than him is not worthy of him. The human race is divided on its response to Jesus. Some accept him and follow him, others do not. That creates tension in families and causes temptations to compromise and love family members more than Jesus. Father Mathias offers two reminders to help renew our minds that can help us love Jesus more than our children and parents. 1) Remember that your love for your children/parents is merely a faith echo of how much God loves them. 2) Your children/parents do not belong to you; they are gifts of God entrusted to you for a short time. He ends the homily exhorting us to renew our faith in Jesus as our first love when we receive him in Communion.
In this episode of the Hear My Heart Show, Sarah I. Fox shares her powerful journey of navigating mental illness while holding onto her faith.As a mental health advocate and host of the globally ranked Rough Edges Podcast, Sarah opens up about what it means to be Black, Bipolar, and Christian, and why faith and mental health don't have to exist in separate conversations.We discuss healing, hope, therapy, identity, faith, and the importance of creating space for honest conversations about mental wellness in Christian communities.This conversation is for anyone who has struggled silently, questioned their healing journey, or wondered if they can love Jesus and still need help.
Prayer, Bible reading, and spiritual leadership are all good things, but what happens when faith becomes a source of tension instead of connection in marriage? In this episode, Dr. Kim tackle the unhealthy spiritual dynamics that can quietly create distance between spouses: spiritual superiority, spiritual withdrawal, and using faith as a weapon. While most couples don't intend to hurt each other spiritually, it's easy to fall into patterns that leave one spouse feeling judged, inadequate, or alone. He discusses why spiritual loneliness can be so painful in marriage, how comparison and pressure shut down connection, and what it looks like to pursue spiritual intimacy in a way that invites both spouses closer to God and each other. If you've ever felt frustrated that your spouse isn't where you'd like them to be spiritually, or if you've ever felt like you could never measure up, this conversation offers practical encouragement and hope for building a healthier, more united spiritual foundation. Episode Highlights: When Faith Creates Distance Instead of Connection The Hidden Damage of Spiritual Superiority and Withdrawal Moving from Weaponized Faith to Shared Faith Quotes from This Episode: God designed marriage as the most intimate of all earthly relationships. There's a oneness God intended for marriage that touches every aspect of life. When one spouse longs to pray together and it never happens, it doesn't just feel frustrating it feels lonely. Loneliness can turn into resentment or even despair. Nothing will shut your spouse down faster than feeling spiritually inferior in their own home. The spouse that feels like they can never measure up will stop engaging. When scripture becomes a sword instead of a shared foundation something has gone badly wrong. Spiritual growth cannot be forced. You can model it. You can invite. But you cannot drag your spouse into a deeper faith any more than someone could have dragged you. God does that work. Time to Talk About it: Are you feeling disconnected from your spouse spiritually? If you are, have you approached your spouse honestly with your concerns? Ask them: How can we use our faith to encourage each other rather than pressure, correct, or compare one another? Mentioned in This Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!

If we truly love Jesus, it will show in the way we keep His words, seek to please Him, and live for His honor. We know that Christ has gone to prepare a place for us, that He is coming again, and that our love for Him should make us faithful, obedient, prayerful, and rejoicing people. We must know Him as He truly is—not as the world imagines Him—and examine whether our lives prove real love for Him or only a shallow profession.
Ohhh how we LOVE Jesus as Savior...but what about Jesus as LORD? I think most Christians just settle for Jesus being "house help."

Send me a Text Message!As we come to the end, I'll go back to the beginning to summarize. John 1. Jesus is the Word. Don't miss this, the connection between Jesus and the Word. It's a connection that goes beyond metaphor into the land of mystical. It goes beyond symbolic into the land of supernatural. There is a connection between Jesus, who is called the Word, and the Word which we call our Bible. It's almost like God speaks and every time he opens his mouth, Jesus comes out. We can't love Jesus, if we don't love the Word.

What if someone asked you point-blank: Are you holy? Would you hesitate? Laugh it off? Maybe cringe a little? You're not alone—and that reaction reveals a deeper belief many of us carry without even realizing it. Somewhere along the way, many of us have come to believe that holiness is reserved for heaven—that here and now, “trying our best” is enough. But what if that's not true? What if holiness isn't just the goal… but a present reality for the believer? In today's episode, we're unpacking a powerful and often overlooked lie: holiness is something we strive for, but never actually live in. Join me as I interview Tasha Calvert, author of Set Apart for More.
