Week 3 of our Jesus Is King series continues with a powerful message from Pastor Mandy rooted in Mark 1 and 2. In Mark 1:45, we see that although Jesus could no longer openly enter towns, people still came to Him from everywhere. The crowds were drawn to Him—but this week's message challenges us to ask: what do we really need? In Mark 2:3–5, four men carried their paralyzed friend to Jesus, refusing to let obstacles stop them. Pastor Mandy reminds us that we really need faith-filled friends—friends who don't just comfort us in crisis but carry us toward our deliverance. When Jesus saw their faith, He forgave the man's sins, revealing that our deepest need goes beyond physical healing. The religious leaders in Mark 2:6–8 had information about God, but their hearts were unmoved. Information isn't transformation. Proximity to Jesus isn't the same as surrender to Jesus. Just as physical paralysis happens when the brain sends signals but the body cannot respond, spiritual paralysis happens when truth reaches the mind but never transforms the heart. Knowledge without obedience stops movement toward God. James 1:22 reminds us: “Do not merely listen to the word… Do what it says.” The paralyzed man couldn't move. The religious leaders wouldn't move. And in both cases, Jesus revealed the greater issue—sin. Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. As Charles Spurgeon wrote, “Our Lord did not first heal the man's body, but His soul; for the disease of sin is deeper than the weakness of the flesh.” Healed circumstances without healed hearts will not last. Jesus shows that He has authority over both our physical condition and our spiritual state. What you really need isn't just better circumstances, more information, or even stronger community—you need a Savior. Watch Week 3 of Jesus Is King and discover how Jesus meets our deepest need.

You need Jesus. And you need His body. This message reminds us that faith was never meant to be lived in isolation—real life, real healing, and real love happen in community.
Have you ever found yourself yelling, "Stop yelling at each other!" or responding to your child's snarky comment with some snarkiness of your own? I know that I have. Sometimes I stand there wondering who is more the child, them or me! Paul's words to the Jewish believers in Romans 2 really challenged me in this--to beware of the trap of judgement, but also to remember that we are all in need of Jesus. Our kids as well as ourselves. And because of that shared need, we can respond to and even correct our children with humility and grace.

Honestly, I Think We Just Need Jesus!Acts 2:40 “And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, 'Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”I chose this episode to replay for you today for two reasons. The first is because if you are listening to this on the day I released it, then we celebrate Jesus' coming into the world in just four days, and we need Jesus more than ever! The second is because there was a loss in our family last Thursday, and so many people are hurting, and they just need Jesus right now to help them through it. There is a song that I have heard on the radio more and more recently, and these last few days, it has been running repeatedly in my mind. I can't seem to get it out of my head. I am not sure I want to get it out of my head, as the words that are running through my head are. Honestly, I think we need Jesus by Terrian. Since I can't seem to shake this song, and then I read the verse above this morning, I think the Lord wants me to share it with you. I will place a link for the song in the show notes, as she does a much better job singing it than I do. I also love that she is young and yet can still see that we need more Jesus. I will go over the lyrics of the song with you today.The song starts with:I got a front-row seat to the madnessI pick up my phone every mornin' out of habitI've been fiendin' for the drama, yeah, I said itI'm addicted to the rush, need a medicHow many of us pick up our phones or turn on the news first thing when we wake up? How many of us want to know what is going on in the world before we even stop and spend our time with God? I use my phone for an alarm, so I would turn off my alarm, and then I would check my messages, emails, and Facebook before I would sit down with the Lord and spend time with Him. I have gotten better; now, I just check my messages, mostly to make sure my kids got home safely. Sometimes I still check my emails, but I am getting better and usually save that for later.I love how the songwriter points out that we usually pick up our phones out of habit. This isn't just the first thing in the morning. We do this all throughout the day. I bet we all spend more time than we would like on our phones. I also like how they bring our attention to the fact that we are “Fiendin' for the drama” and “addicted to the rush.” It seems we are drawn to the conflict and the drama more than the good things that are happening. I don't know if that is because we crave drama or because that is all the news tends to show us. Either way, there is good and bad going on in the world, and it is up to us to choose which we seek out and focus on.The song goes on to say:When I take a step back, I can see itAll the pain, all the fear we've been feelin'Losin' sight of the thing that we're needin'That we're needin' This is a great reminder that sometimes we need to take a step back. When we do, we see that we are focusing on all of our pain and fear that we are feeling instead of focusing on the one who can take all that pain and fear away. When we watch the news or listen to all that is going on in the world, we tend to get overwhelmed. We can also start to feel a sense of hopelessness. We can feel a sense that the world is going crazy, and there is nothing we can do about it. However, we are never hopeless because we are children of God, and we can always turn to Him, and He can save us. There is nothing too hard for God to handle.Next, the song says:Honestly, I think we just need JesusHonestly, I think we just need JesusHave we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?What used to be wrong, we say that it's rightHonestly, I think we just need Jesus This is the part that gets stuck in my head. I can't think of a truer statement. I can see how our country is falling apart because we keep removing God from more and more things. This country was founded with God. He was a part of the government; yes, Church and State were separate, and yet God and State weren't. God was invited into the Constitution; he was invited into the pledge of allegiance. He was invited into our courtrooms. God was welcome everywhere. Now, it seems He is welcome nowhere.I also love how the song says, “Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds? What used to be wrong, we say that it's right.” We have all thought this for a long time now, and it is nice to hear it in a song, so we know we aren't the only ones who think it. This world does seem to have gone mad, and it does seem like we are all losing our minds. Some of the things that seem to be ok in the world today still shock me. I think this song points out very real and honest questions. Have we all gone mad? Have we all lost our minds? Take a good, long look in the mirrorSearch my heart and soul, make it clearerHelp me take your love, trade the bitterLeave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord I think it would be a great idea if we all stopped and took a good look in the mirror. What are we doing? Not what is the world doing, but what are we doing? Are we staying true to God in this crazy world? Are we staying above all the drama and walking in the light of Christ? Are we showing love and hope to everyone we meet? We are all called to be “little Christs” to all we meet. Are we doing so? Are we loving everyone, even those who aren't like us? Even those who aren't living their lives the way we think they should? Even those whom we don't like. God said to love our enemies. Are we doing that?The next line says, “Search my heart and soul, make it clearer.” Do we want God to search our hearts and souls? What would He find? I do like how it says to make it clearer. With all that is going on in this world, and all this world says is ok, the water we wade into can get muddy. I don't think the world makes it easy or clear how we should live our lives. We need to focus on God and ask God to help make it clear to us what He wants from us and how He wants us to live.It also says, “Help me take your love, trade the bitter. Leave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord.” It can be easy to become bitter. We live in a broken world, and people offend us all the time. Things aren't fair, and sometimes good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people. This can make us bitter. We need God to come in and replace our bitterness with His love. We need His help to walk away from the bitter and leave it in the dust. We've been preachin', we've been drinkin' in the vanity (in the vanity)Now it's got us questionin' our sanity (sanity)And we wonder how we get all this anxietyIt's clear to me Yep, I think we have all probably questioned our sanity at some point over the last few years. I definitely think there is a lot of vanity in this day and age as well. With everyone having phones and taking photos every moment of every day, we have become obsessed with how we look and what we have. We want to make sure our life looks as good online as everyone else's life does. This leads us to do and say things that aren't always true. We act online like our lives are perfect, and yet so many of our children and adults are hurting inside, but don't reach out and get help because everyone else seems like they are doing so well. This definitely makes us question our sanity because our lives are falling apart, and everyone else seems to have it all together. I love the line that says, “And we wonder how we get all this anxiety.” Exactly!! All of the things I just talked about, along with the news, the decline of our country, and the division in our country, we wonder why everyone is so anxious.After the song repeats the chorus about us just needing Jesus, it goes on to say:We turn away (we turn away)We're running back to you (oh-oh)Covered in grace (covered in grace)God, You can make us new (make us new) Yes! We are like a revolving door. We turn away from the Lord and then turn back to Him, then we turn away, and then we turn back. I love how the author of this song understands that even when we do this, we are covered in grace. God will always accept us back in. He is not angry with us that we have turned away. He is happy that we have turned back. God is always there with open arms, waiting for us to turn back to Him. God is the only one who can make us new. We may think we have done too much, we have really messed up this time, and there is no hope for us. There is always hope in the Lord. He can make us new, He can make our country new, He can make our world new. We just have to invite Him in and ask Him.The song ends by repeating the chorus. I will leave you with those words.Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus (we need You, oh)Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?What used to be wrong, we say that it's rightHonestly, we need, we need You, JesusOh, Jesus, Jesus, JesusWe need You, Jesus, JesusOh, JesusJesus, Jesus (we're running back)(We're running back to You) JesusWe're runnin' back to You, oh (Jesus)Yeah, Jesus, JesusMake us new Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we love you, and we are sorry we turned away; please help us to turn back. We are sorry our country is falling apart. Please show us how we can help to bring you back into our country. Please put in our hearts what you are calling us to do. Please help us to stop searching for the drama and start searching for you. Help us to be your love and light to others instead of spreading the drama and the worry. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Zachary Cargill shares a challenging message on our desperate need for the presence of God in our lives and in our church. Christ did not die on the cross to be an add-on to our lives, but gave His all so that we, in response, would give our all to Him. It can be easy to fall into Christian activity without a true hunger and desperation for the Lord's presence. Yet God is calling His Church to place the utmost value on His presence and to seek Him first in every aspect of our lives. Now is the time to come out of complacency and empty religion and return to wholehearted devotion to Jesus.Our heart at Celebration Church Rarotonga is that this message will greatly bless your walk with Jesus and help bring you closer to Him. We pray that you would be stirred to live a life that is passionate about loving Jesus!We would love to hear from you!

“It's Okay to Need Jesus” based on Luke 1:26-45 and Psalm 80, given by Pastor Ryan Landt on December 14, 2025 at Cornerstone Church in Pella. Continue reading The post It's Okay to Need Jesus first appeared on Cornerstone Church.
In this Christmas series opener, Dr. John explores a foundational question: If people walked with God before Jesus came, why do we need Him? Drawing from Galatians 3:15-18, he examines God's covenant with Abraham and the promise that all nations would be blessed through Abraham's "seed." Through Israel's turbulent history, Dr. John reveals that the promised blessing didn't come through a nation, but through one person: Jesus Christ.Christmas From Galatians: This Christmas, Dr. John takes an unprecedented approach to the season by exploring why Jesus' coming was absolutely necessary. Through the book of Galatians, this series traces God's plan from Abraham's promise through the giving of the Law to the arrival of Christ. Discover why the Law was never meant to save us but to diagnose our condition, how Jesus fulfilled what we could never accomplish, and how Christmas opened the door for all people to become sons and daughters of God.
Recent government hearings have made UFOs and aliens front-page news, and now a Catholic priest says he'd baptize extraterrestrials if asked. But I think before agreeing so quickly to the idea, this priest needs to be asking some really big theological and spiritual questions.SERMON TRANSCRIPT…https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-alienbaptismWeird Darkness® and Church Of The Undead™ are trademarked.

In Luke 8, we encounter a woman who had been suffering for twelve long years with a relentless illness—bleeding that never stopped. Day after day, it was a constant burden, a painful reminder of her struggle. She searched for answers everywhere—within herself, from doctors, and from those around her—but nothing could bring relief. Yet in a single moment, everything changed. The moment she encountered Jesus, her story was rewritten. Instantly, what had defined her for years no longer had power over her. She was no longer known by her bleeding; she was known by her healing. And the same is true for us today—when we recognize our desperate need for Jesus above all else, the subject of our lives shifts. Who we were is no longer the story; the testimony of what Jesus has brought us through becomes the defining theme of our lives.

In Luke 8:22-25, the disciples followed Jesus into the boat, and a storm hit them out of nowhere—bigger than anything they could handle on their own. Isn't that life? Problems show up suddenly, pressures rise, and we realize we don't have the power to fix it. But here's the truth: before the storm ever started, Jesus had already given the answer—“Let's go to the other side.” If He said it, He'll see it through. The storm may be bigger than you, but it's not bigger than Him.
This week Nic brings us a message based on James 4: 10-12. He explains that we as a church are called to unity, not uniformity. We need biblical humility in knowing who we are in Jesus, beloved forgiven children of God and flawed people. It is from this posture that we can engage with different opinions. Nic provides some great insights including: The way we tackle difficult issues is important Jesus came to fulfill the law, he is our atonement. He both contracts and expands the law giving us the greatest commandment, loving the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbour as you love yourself. If you wish to jump straight to the message it starts at: 10:45 Follow along each week of the GRIT series:
In Mark 9:21–29, we meet a father who desperately wanted to see his son healed but carried doubts after repeated disappointment. He had already tried everything and even watched Jesus' disciples fail to bring deliverance, so when he turned to Jesus, all he could say was, “If You can.” And honestly, who could blame him? But while others couldn't, Jesus could—and He did. Many of us know what it feels like to face situations that seem impossible, ones we've tried to fix on our own but couldn't. The truth is, without Jesus, it really is impossible. But with Jesus, the story isn't finished. No matter how hopeless it seems, it's not over yet.

This message unpacks what it truly means to be a Christian—more than a title, it is a supernatural encounter with God that brings new birth, repentance, and transformation from within. Through Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, we see that to follow Christ is to be born of the Spirit, given a new heart, and made alive to God's kingdom. Christians belong to Christ, living as people of His kingdom, which is not political or geographical but spiritual and present wherever Jesus reigns in hearts. The name “Christian” should reflect holiness, devotion, and Christlikeness, as our lives bear witness to the reality of God's rule within us. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In this message from Isaiah 64:1-7, we explore a powerful post-exilic prayer of lament from a weary and spiritually discouraged people longing for God's presence. Surrounded by ruins, wrestling with sin, and desperate for renewal, Judah's cry reveals both their brokenness and their deep desire for God to move as He had in the past. This sermon challenges us to examine the distractions and idols that dull our hunger for God and calls us to aggressively “lay hold” of eternal life with focused resolve (1 Timothy 6:11-12). In seasons of transition and spiritual dryness, desperation for Jesus is not weakness but an act of faith. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”Ephesians 6:12
Do Jews need Jesus? It's an age-old debate with eternal ramifications. If Jesus is not the Jewish Messiah, if He is not the savior of the world, if He is not the promised redeemer God sent to restore Israel and redeem the nations (Isaiah 49:6), then bringing His message to the Jewish people is a grave threat to their security. Join us as Avi Synder teaches us that believing in Jesus isn't apostasy; it's obedience, and it leads to eternal blessing.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech to talk with students about faith, morality, and the Gospel. Todd emphasizes Christian teachings, using questions to explore concepts of creation, evil, conscience, and salvation through Jesus Christ. Segment 1: • Jose, a mechanical engineering student, wonders how the universe began—leans toward random chance. • Todd argues design demands a Designer, comparing creation to Jose's sesame chicken. • Jose admits he's agnostic but open—he wants “proof” before accepting a Creator. Segment 2: • Todd walks Jose walks through the Ten Commandments and Jose admits guilt, agreeing he'd be judged guilty. • Todd presents the gospel: Jesus took Jose's punishment, offering forgiveness through repentance and faith. • Jose is intrigued but unsure, doubting whether humans can truly know what's true. Segment 3: • Robert identifies as Machiavellian, believes people are mostly good despite moral failures. • Todd highlights Robert's sin (e.g. 5,000 lustful thoughts), arguing goodness isn't enough. • Robert believes Jesus died for sinners but hasn't repented—he admits it's worth pondering. Segment 4: • Student asks: “What's the point of life?” Claims moral living is enough without religion. • Admits to sin but believes intentions and regret soften the guilt. • Todd explains the gospel and challenges him to investigate if it's true—eternity is at stake. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!
