This Sunday, we studied the call of Jesus in John 15:1-17 to abide in him. The Lord says these words in John 15:9, “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.” One of the great challenges that we continually face as Christians is not drifting carelessly from a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. MariAnne and I were just in Florida with three of our grandchildren. One day, we were at the beach and we were all in the water when suddenly there were flashing lights and sirens. A rescue jeep went flying past on the sand. A rescue boat with flashing lights when flying past us in the water. They were headed to a location about a quarter mile down from us. Someone was in distress. One of the common things that happens down there, or relatively common, is that people get caught in riptides. They are playing in the water, having fun, and then suddenly they realize that they have been and are being pulled out into the deep. Drifting into spiritual danger is a constant for every Christian. Growing in grace takes conscientious intentionality. Christ's call to abide in Him is crucial for every believer. As we head into all the busyness of the Fall season, I think this will be an incredibly helpful passage as we begin to wrap up our summer series on the biblical doctrine of God's love. Pray that God might meet all of us powerfully this week. See you Sunday at 9 or 11 a.m.

Dr Thurman Hayes Jr. Preaching on John 13:1-38, Sunday June 29, 2025 at First Baptist Church of Suffolk, VA.
In a world shaped by online personas, it's easy to mistake what looks good for what really is and emotion for identity. We have been conditioned to scroll through the highlight reels of others' lives, unaware of the building loneliness and pain that is masked by the doom scroll of online life. But the truth is that social media is not truly social, a fact we must remember because while it promises connection it usually delivers isolation. That is the work of a follower of Jesus in the digital landscape.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
The Rev’d Ethan Magness, Rector
In John 21 the resurrected Jesus, the King of the universe, the one with all power and authority is sitting on a beach serving breakfast. His presence on that shoreline, his radical love and hospitality, sets the stage for the restoration he brings. It's a story that puts God's character front and center; it confronts our misconceptions and fears and invites us to experience the restorative love of God.

Pastor Rob McCoy delivers a heartfelt message from John 15, honoring the legacy of 102-year-old congregant Jim Mather, whose vibrant faith and servant heart inspired generations. Reflecting on Jim's refusal to grow “old” despite life's subtractions, Pastor Rob challenges believers to reinvent themselves through selfless service, drawing from the example of Bob and Jessica's courageous stand for truth. He unpacks Jesus' call to love one another through obedience, transitioning from servants to friends of Christ by embracing His commandments. Amid cultural battles and rising anti-Semitism, Pastor Rob urges unwavering commitment to truth and love, illustrated by stories of Navy SEAL teamwork and Charlie Kirk's defiance, encouraging a life of worship and impact that echoes eternally.Verse References: John 15 verses 9–17, Matthew 20 verses 20–28Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Sunday Morning Expositional Message
Because He Lives, We Live Lives of Lavish Love (John 13:34-35) - 05/18/2025 by Divine Grace Lutheran Church
SERIES: Because He LivesIf someone saved you from a horrible death, what would you do to thank them? Probably just about anything they asked, because that's how grateful you would be! Jesus not only saved us from eternal death in hell, but he won for us an eternity in paradise. What shall we do to thank him? He asks for just one thing: love. He asks us to demonstrate to others the same selfless love he has shown to us. That is how we thank him - we lead with love.
On the night that Jesus was betrayed, he told his disciples that he was going to be glorified, that they could not go where he was going, and that they were to love one another just as he had loved them, all in quick succession. What does he mean by all of this? How does this help us walk in the faith he has betwoed upon us? Are we capable to receive such things?Image: Carl Bloch, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Location: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bloch-SermonOnTheMount.jpg

Live Sunday Worship Service Mother's Day A Fragrant Offering of Love John 12 @ BBC Pastor Rhodes - trimmed by Patrick Rhodes
In this message, John speaks to those facing anxiety and heartbreak, urging them to “not let your heart be troubled,” because love—true, sacrificial love—is the only way to live with peace in a troubled world. Rooted in Jesus' command to “love one another as I have loved you,” John draws on Scripture, personal stories, and cultural references—from Inside Out and Saving Private Ryan to ancient Roman values—to show that the most transformative kind of love is the one that suffers willingly for others. Unlike Greco-Roman ideals that reserved sacrifice for the worthy, Jesus offers a love that dies for the unworthy, changing the meaning of suffering and friendship forever. Whether through a friend's call, a stranger's kindness, or Christ's death on the cross, we are invited to live in love and be shaped by it.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

A @Christadelphians Video: **[Revealing] The Atonement – A Life-Changing Biblical Truth ✝️** **Video Description:**
Matthew 12:46-5046 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him.47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” 48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers.50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”John 3:3–8Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.'8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-2219 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.Hebrews 2:10-12For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation, I will sing your praise.” 2 Corinthians 5:20"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us..."
