Big Idea: Is faith merely a crutch for weak people?1 Corinthians 1:26-31I. Embrace the demotion1 Corinthians 1:26-27Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. II. Kill your pride 1 Corinthians 1:28-29God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence.III.    Make Jesus famous1 Corinthians 1:30-31It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us—our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption —in order that, as it is written: Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.Next Steps:  Believe: I need Jesus to give me new life today.  Become: I need the Holy Spirit to help kill my pride this week. Be Sent: I will put Christ's strength on display this weekDiscussion Questions:  How would you respond to someone who claims that faith is a crutch for weak people?  How often did you reflect on yourself compared to thinking about God yesterday? Provide a ratio.  In which areas of your life are you most likely to take pride?  How can you surrender that area of your life to Christ?  Does boasting in Christ mean you cannot feel good about your successes?  When did you have the opportunity to make Christ famous last week? How did it go? Pray for the Holy Spirit to teach us humility this week.

Maximizing Your Talents for God's Kingdom | Disciple Makers Podcast In this enriching episode of the Disciple Makers Podcast, hosts Jason and Josh take a deep dive into the Parable of the Talents and how it relates to our daily lives. They explore the concepts of using our gifts, time, and resources for God's glory and discuss the motivations behind our actions. The episode emphasizes not wasting the opportunities and blessings given by God, but rather actively using them to further His Kingdom. Through personal anecdotes and scriptural insights, they touch on themes of joy, guilt, motivation, and the ultimate goal of sharing in the Master's happiness. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that challenges listeners to evaluate their own lives and take actionable steps toward being true disciples.

They kick things off with lighthearted banter—Jason recalls their past conversations, and Josh humorously brings up the Tyson fight. This playful start eases into a thoughtful and relatable discussion on the parable's significance. Josh introduces the Parable of the Talents, also known as “Bags of Gold,” and invites Jason to unpack its meaning. Jason explains how the master entrusted three servants with varying amounts of gold based on their abilities—five, two, and one—and draws parallels to modern life, even coining the term “five bagger,” likening it to bowling. Their playful humor adds accessibility to a serious topic. The conversation transitions into a deeper reflection on the parable's lessons about accountability and faithfulness. Jason highlights how the first two servants doubled their gold and were praised for their diligence, while the third buried his out of fear, earning the master's rebuke. He shares how fear or laziness can lead us to "bury our talents," offering examples from his own life. Josh chimes in with personal anecdotes, including how distractions like video games once consumed his time until his wife's observation convicted him to refocus on his family. Jason ties this to a Charles Spurgeon sermon titled “Gone, Utterly Gone,” which underscores the irretrievable loss of wasted time. He shares how the message moved him deeply, urging listeners to recognize the value of time and seize opportunities to serve God. The hosts then explore practical takeaways, encouraging listeners to assess their motivations and align them with God's purposes. Josh emphasizes the joy that comes from pleasing God, contrasting it with the fleeting satisfaction of human approval. He highlights the example of Jesus sending out the 72 disciples and rejoicing in their success, pointing to the joy God feels when His people faithfully engage in His mission. Josh and Jason strike a balance between worship and active ministry, challenging listeners to wisely use their time, talents, and resources for God's glory. The episode wraps up with a call to action: evaluate your God-given gifts, take intentional steps to use them, and seek accountability from trusted friends. The hosts also mention an upcoming discipleship forum in Houston, Texas, and direct listeners to resources at discipleship.org. Josh signs off with a heartfelt message of encouragement, reminding listeners that they are supported on their journey to becoming faithful disciple-makers. This episode blends humor, personal stories, and profound biblical insights with practical applications for living a productive and faithful Christian life.  

Send us a textWelcome back to you all back to the Tat2dPreacher Podcast for its first episode of 2025. After taking a much-needed holiday break, I'm excited to share what I believe God has put on my heart for the year: 'Make Jesus Proud.' I'll be discussing how this theme can guide our actions and attitudes throughout the year, and I'll draw parallels between our mission today and that of John the Baptist, positioning us as modern-day forerunners for Christ's second coming. We'll also dive into Bible reading plans and the powerful role social media plays in spreading the gospel.

Pastor Mike Ascher

This message was delivered during our Sunday morning service on November 3, 2024. The text being expounded is Luke 19:28-40.

What is actually important? Is it our hobbies, what we do with our free time, what we enjoy, or how much time we spend with God. Hobbies, interests, and other activities are good, but they are NOT living water. Jesus is the only one we can turn to for that. Alex and Jeremy are here to share about the mindset we need to consider when looking at our activities and hobbies. We need to take time to evaluate what in our life we may be putting more importance on that our relationship with God.

Fr Mike Delaney emphasizes that simple acts of kindness and connection, guided by the *WEST* principles—Welcoming, Encouraging, Saying Sorry, and Giving Thanks—can have a profound impact on others.

In this new message series, Pastor Jason Huffman dives into the theme of "Make Jesus Known." Drawing from Ephesians 4:11-16, he explores how Christ equips us for works of service and calls us to grow into spiritual maturity. Pastor Jason emphasizes that before we can effectively make Jesus known to others, we must first know Him ourselves!Pneuma Life Church with Pastors Jason & Jessica Huffman in Saint Johns, Florida.  Join us live for services each Sunday at 10AM4100 Race Track Rd.

As we continue through this current series called “Send,” we look at what it means to make Jesus visible in our communities. When we, as believers, step outside of the church walls and take the gospel to the streets, we have an opportunity to point people to the One who does great things!Join us as Pastor Thomas New brings us through the end of Acts chapter 13, as we learn how we, like Paul and Barnabas, can make Jesus visible in the face of opposition.

In this podcast, Coach Tom interviews friend, author, speaker and Kingdom trainer, Rob Reimer.  You will hear of God's work of healing in his own life, and through him to others around the world.Some key concepts:Finding God's fit for you will bring more fruit and more fun.God wants access to your heart and soul...often that is achieved through pain.There is no power without the cross.  Impartation requires character and intimacy to sustain it.  We must die to live.Apart from God you can do many things, but you can do no Kingdom work without abiding.Not every need is your assignment.The secret to success is to find out what God wants of you and do it, no matter the personal cost...and there will be personal cost.__________________________Dr. Rob Reimer's passion is to see the Kingdom of God advance through spiritual renewal. Rob began Renewal International to assist pastors, leaders, and churches globally to equip the people of God to live in freedom in Christ, and to walk in the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit.Passionate about Jesus, personally transparent, and saturated in the Word, his books including Soul Care, River Dwellers, Spiritual Authority, Deep Faith, Pathways to the King, The Soul Care Leader, Calm in the Storm and The Tenderness of Jesus incorporate lessons God taught him over the years through life, marriage, and ministry. During conferences, Rob not only teaches these lessons, but provides activities for participants to begin working them into their lives. These transformativeexperiences challenge people to walk in the light with God and others and help people to practice hearing from God and accessing His power for ministry. Without Jesus, we have nothing to offer!In addition to his work with Renewal International, Dr. Reimer has served as Professor of Pastoral Theology at Alliance University in NY, NY, and as the founding and lead pastor of a church in New England.Explore more of Rob's resources, view his itinerary, or invite him to speak atwww.renewalinternational.org__________________________You can connect with Coach Tom at:https://greaterformation.com/Email: Tom@GreaterFormation.com P.S. ...

Colossians 1:18 tells us that Jesus should be preeminent in everything. Jesus shouldn't just be a priority in our lives. He is supreme over all things, including: God's creation, our deliverance, and our spiritual growth. Because of Jesus' preeminence, He brought the fullness of God into human form and died on the cross, and shed his blood to pay for our sin; and through that payment, He has reconciled us to God.

Sermon Notes:Admit that you're a sinner.Look to Jesus.Make Jesus your Savior and LORD.Scripture References:Numbers 21:4-9James 5:16John 3:14-17Romans 6:23Hebrews 12:1-2Proverbs 3:5-7

What is Pentecost? Why is it important to us today? Rabbi Schneider shares that the Jewish people had already been celebrating Shavuot for 1500 years. But when the Spirit of God came, it fulfilled Shavuot as it had been prophesied 1500 years prior. Jesus didn't come to create a separate religion, but to fulfill through the Jews as had been promised. Christianity is not a different belief. Jesus fulfills the Jewish expectation of the Messiah. Pentecost is the birthday of the living church with access to God through the Holy Spirit. When we celebrate Shavuot and Pentecost, we joyfully acknowledge that God gave us His Spirit. The Holy Spirit will help you through any trial and tribulation. The Holy Spirit is a gift that lives within us for our enjoyment, to experience God, and to be the power to obey Him and be His witnesses. Make Jesus relevant to the people around you.   Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com

Wednesday bible study. Pastor Harold Marshall.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a Super Bowl commercial that's been getting a lot of attention - and no, it's not the DunKings. It was a commercial from “He Gets Us,” depicting a montage of somewhat unusual pairings of people washing feet. It concluded with “Jesus didn't teach hate. He washed feet. He gets us. All of us.” This ad has sparked a lot of controversy among Christians in particular. But should it? Episode Links With each commercial that has aired since 2022, the goal has been to drive people to the “He Gets Us” website, which you can find HERE. In fact, following the ad during the Super Bowl, more than 700,000 people visited the site in the first 18 hours. Those visitors spent twice as long as normal on the site, with thousands subscribing to Bible reading plans and joining small groups. But many Christians have had a lot to say about it. Here are some articles that were mentioned in today's episode that you may want to check out: Maria Baer, “$100M Ad Campaign Aims to Make Jesus the ‘Biggest Brand in Your City,'” Christianity Today. Bob Smietana, “‘He Gets Us' Super Bowl Ads Part of Billion-Dollar Campaign,” Christianity Today. Jessica Lea, “‘Heretical,' ‘Beautiful,' ‘Conversation Starters'—Christians React to He Gets Us Super Bowl Ads,” Church Leaders. Kristine Parks, “'He Gets Us' Jesus Super Bowl Ad campaign welcomes criticism over polarizing ads: 'Very reassuring,'“ Fox News.

In this week's episode, we discuss our unique engagement strategy at Believers church. We explore a range of strategic approaches - from Program Oriented to Great Commission & Commandment-Based. We also discuss the integral roles that Hub 757 and Oak & Lily play in our church's vision. Hear us discuss the importance of fostering great environments and why our primary mission is to Make Jesus #1, One Person at A Time. Delve into the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues, a point of curiosity stemming from our recent look at the church in Corinth. Join us as we reassess our mission statement and consider ways to keep our Church community approachable, grounded, and focused on our spiritual mission.

In this episode of This is Kingdom, Grace, Talon, and T.J. engage in a deep discussion about seeing the best in others and making Jesus feel familiar through love and belief. Drawing from personal experiences and the insights shared in the talk "Seeing God's Family through the Overview Lens," by Sister Tamara W. Runia, the hosts explore the profound difference between worrying for someone and truly believing in their potential. They emphasize the transformative power of recognizing and speaking to a person's true essence rather than their actions. The episode invites you to view others through the lens of their highest potential and how genuine love and belief can create positive change. Join the conversation and discover how to make Jesus feel familiar to those you care about.

Today we're discussing the 'He Gets Us' campaign, as promised! The $100 million advertising campaign seeks to promote Jesus and Christianity through TV spots in prime time, billboards, and social media feeds. These ads portray Jesus as a refugee, an activist, and an influencer, among other characteristics, and aim to communicate his relatability to modern problems (ultimately leading people to the "He Gets Us" site). Two of these ads ran in last night's Super Bowl and made big waves among Christians and non-Christians. One of the problems with the campaign is its claims about Jesus, which are not entirely accurate and/or are missing important context. The campaign does not align with any specific denomination or doctrine, but rather seeks to partner with churches and organizations who can use its resources for outreach. We discuss the major concerns of the campaign, but also highlight some of the good that can come from it. It's exciting to see a campaign like "He Gets Us" put big money behind helping people connect with Jesus, and we've already heard good stories of people hearing the gospel, but we can still remain wary of some of the campaign's messages that lack context and historical accuracy. --- Timecodes: (02:14) Super Bowl national anthem(s) & Rhianna (07:25) Super Bowl commercials (11:40) He Gets Us --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.
