How are you saved? Is being a good person enough?Most of us have some kind of spiritual scoresheet. We look at the good we've done, the mistakes we have made, how often we go to church, or how our lives compare with everyone else. Some look at the score and think, "I've done enough." Others look at it and wonder, "Could God ever want someone like me?"But what if both are looking in the wrong direction?In this sermon from Ephesians 2:4-10, Pastor Jason Barnett explores what the Bible says about salvation, God's grace, faith in Jesus, and good works. Paul's answer is surprisingly freeing: salvation isn't something we accomplish or earn. It is God's gift, and the good things we do come after God makes us alive in Christ, not as a way of convincing Him to save us.Whether you're exploring Christianity, new to following Jesus, carrying regrets from your past, or have been in church your entire life, this message invites you to consider one important question: When you think about whether you are saved, are you looking at what Jesus has done or at what you have done?Put down the scoresheet. You are not saved by what you have done, but by what Jesus has done for you.Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

The Nazirite Vow was a special vow for a special time. We learn a lot from this vow even for the New Testament believer today. Jesus was a Nazarene, not a Nazirite - but He is the substance of the vow.
Why would Jesus craft a whip and flip tables? How does convenience turn into corruption? As we look at John chapter 2 we discover why Jesus was so passionate. This message is for those who need to clean up their lives.

“What are the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus and why are they significant?” These ancient manuscripts play a crucial role in understanding biblical texts. Additionally, the discussion touches on why some view Genesis as mythology versus literal history, and the levels of heaven as described in scripture, providing a rich exploration of these theological topics.

You believe in Jesus. You know the Bible stories. Maybe you can point back to the moment you first gave our life to Christ. But when was the last time your faith actually moved you?In "Pick Up the Hammer," Pastor Jason Barnett closes the Faith in Work Boots series from James 2:20-26, where James points to Abraham and Rahab as examples of a faith that didn't stay safely on the shelf. Their trust in God became visible through obedience.This isn't a message about doing more church stuff, earning God's love, or proving you're a good Christian. It's about the uncomfortable gap between saying, "I believe" and actually following Jesus when He asks us to move.If your Christian faith has become routine, if most of your stories about God happened years ago, or if you've been waiting for somebody else to do what God may be asking of you, this message is for you.What is the next thing Jesus is asking you to do? You don't have to do everything. You just have to trust Jesus enough to take the next step.Living faith leaves footprints, and you cannot leave footprints until you move.Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

When Prayer Meets the Road #RTTBROS #Nightlight"And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived." Genesis 25:21Back in October of 2002, folks in the Washington, D.C. area were living under a cloud of fear that's hard to describe if you weren't there. For three weeks, somebody was shooting people at random, gas stations, parking lots, ordinary errands, and by the time it was over, ten people were dead and three more wounded. People pumped their gas crouched down behind the car door. Schools kept kids inside at recess. Nobody knew where the next shot was coming from, and that kind of not knowing wears a body out.In the middle of that fear, a group of truckers did something simple. Somewhere near Baltimore, dozens of them , men who spent their lives crisscrossing the country in eighteen-wheelers, pulled off the road and gathered to pray. Among them was Ron Lantz, a driver from Ludlow, Kentucky, and the men's ministry director at his Church of the Nazarene back home. They prayed for the families of the victims. They prayed that whoever was doing this would be stopped. About a week later, Lantz was driving through Maryland, pulled into a rest area near Frederick sometime after midnight, and had the radio tuned to a trucking show describing the suspects' car, a blue Chevy Caprice with a specific license plate. He looked up, and there it sat, right in front of him. He called 911, and along with another trucker, blocked the exit so nobody could leave. Not fifteen minutes later, law enforcement showed up, and the two suspects were taken into custody.Now Lantz never once called himself a hero. When people talked about reward money, he said he'd rather see it go to the victims' families. He just figured he did what anybody ought to have done.I'm too soon old and too late smart, but here's what I've come to believe about that story. God didn't need one dramatic moment to answer fifty tired truckers' prayers. He used an ordinary radio broadcast, an ordinary rest stop, and an ordinary man who happened to be listening at just the right time. Isaac's prayer for Rebekah worked the same way. Scripture doesn't make a big production of it, it just says he pleaded with the Lord, and the Lord was entreated of him, in His own time. That's usually how it goes. We want the lightning bolt, and God gives us a rest stop off the interstate instead. The angel of the Lord "encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them," Psalm 34:7 tells us, and sometimes that deliverance looks exactly like an ordinary Tuesday night.Maybe you're praying for something right now and you can't see a bit of progress. Keep praying anyway. History is just HIS story, and He's still writing chapters we haven't read yet.Let's pray. Father, You hear us even when we can't see what You're doing with our prayers. Thank You for the quiet, unremarkable ways You protect and provide, often through people who never set out to be noticed. Give us the faith to keep praying while the answer is still on its way. In Jesus' name, amen."Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5#BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust #RTTBROS #Nightlight
Most of us would never say we believe some people matter more than others. But what happens when our actions reveal a seating chart we didn't realize was there?In James 2:1-13, James confronts favoritism in the church and challenges the way Christians judge people by wealth, reputation, family, appearance, and status. His words are uncomfortable because he doesn't dismiss favoritism as personal preference or harmless bias. He calls it sin.But this message isn't only for those who have judged others. It is also for anyone who knows what it feels like to be judged, overlooked, or made to feel like the wrong kind of person. The answer James points us toward isn't more judgment, it is mercy.What does loving your neighbor actually require? How should the mercy of Jesus change the way Christians see and treat people? And what if some of our hardest judgments reveal places where we still need Christ's mercy ourselves?People who receive mercy don't add to the load; they share it.In this message from the Faith in Work Boots series, Pastor Jason explores James 2:1-13 and what it teaches about favoritism, Christian judgment, church hurt, mercy, holiness, loving your neighbor, and a faith in Jesus that changes how we treat people around us.Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

It is easy to see the cracks in someone else's life. Their bad decisions. Their anger. Their compromises. Their sin. But what if James wants to inspect a different house?In this sermon from James 1:13-15, Pastor Jason Barnett explores where temptation really begins, why our desires make certain bait attractive, and what happens when the cracks within us are ignored. James challenges us to stop blaming God, the devil, our circumstances, or the people around us long enough to honestly examine our own hearts.But recognizing what is broken isn't the end of the gospel. Jesus offers more than better behavior or stronger willpower. Through the cross, resurrection, and transforming work of the Holy Spirit, we can receive forgiveness for sin and experience real transformation from within.Faith does the hard work of confronting what is broken within. What crack has God shown you're finally willing to let Him repair?Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

AUG 9 | Who Is This King? | Mark 14:53-72 ...They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.'” Yet even then their testimony did not agree.Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”“I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”They all condemned him as worthy of death. Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said.But he denied it. “I don't know or understand what you're talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” Again he denied it.After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don't know this man you're talking about.”Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-0723db.mp3 Listen to Bible reading Through My Bible Yr 03 – July 23 Acts 26:1-18 Acts 26 1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense. 2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate that I am going to make my defense before you today concerning all the things about which I am being accused by the Jews, 3 especially because you are an expert in all the Jewish customs and controversies. Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently. 4 “All the Jews know the way I have lived from the earliest days of my youth, among my own people and in Jerusalem. 5 They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest party of our religion. 6 “And now I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, 7 the promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve God night and day. I am being accused by the Jews concerning this hope, O King. 8 Why does it seem unbelievable to any of you that God raises the dead? 9 “I too was convinced that it was necessary to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus the Nazarene. 10 And that is what I did in Jerusalem. After receiving authority from the chief priests, I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. 11 I often tried to make them blaspheme by punishing them throughout all the synagogues. Because I was so insanely angry with them, I even pursued them to foreign cities. 12 “That is how I came to be traveling to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 At noon along the road, O King, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew dialect, [1] ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' [2] 15 “Then I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?' “The Lord replied, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 16 Now get up and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things you have seen [3] and to the things I will reveal to you. 17 I will rescue you from your people and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you. 18 You are to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive the forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' Footnotes Acts 26:14 Or Aramaic. The Greek word is Hebrew but likely refers to the Aramaic dialect spoken by the Jews at that time and place. Acts 26:14 Goads are pointed sticks used to urge or direct an animal. To kick against the goads means to resist stubbornly. Acts 26:16 A few witnesses to the text add of me.

Scott Hatch grew up Methodist, but learned about DIY music at his college radio station. When he started his label, Burnt Toast Vinyl, in 1996 he put out bands that had a similar background to him- fellow youth group kids. One of those youth group kids was Randall Stephens. He grew up Nazarene, but was inspired by bands like Pavement and Guided By Voices to start the band Jetenderpaul in the early 1990s. After releasing three albums and a handful of singles for Velvet Blue Music and Burnt Toast Vinyl, Stephens went on to become a respected academic who researches the intersection of Christianity and rock music. His book, The Devil's Music, is essential reading on the topic. This year Burnt Toast Vinyl re-released Jetenderpaul's second album, The Woolen Spires on vinyl for the first time. --Do you have a Christian rock story to tell? Want to respond to this episode?
