In this sermon entitled "The Engine That Drives Behavior," Pastor Brandon unpacks the bold message of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:5–12, calling the nation of Israel to genuine repentance. But repentance wasn't just about sorrow or surface-level change—it was a radical call to change their thinking about the deeply ingrained teachings of Rabbinic Judaism. John confronts the false assumptions that had taken root: - That being Jewish guaranteed entrance into the Kingdom. - That the Messiah would affirm their traditions. - That external law-keeping was enough for righteousness. - That salvation could be earned or inherited by Israel through "the merits of the fathers." - That Gentiles had to convert to Judaism and keep the Noahic laws to be saved. - That there were multiple ways to be spiritually reborn and none of them included how Jesus explained it. John's call to repentance challenged Israel to abandon these theological distortions from the rabbis and recognize their need for Messiah—the Lamb of God. This repentance was not theoretical. In Luke 3:10–14, John outlines what true repentance looks like: justice, integrity, generosity, and contentment—right belief producing right behavior. True change doesn't start with action—it starts with conviction, with the truth renewing the mind. This message explores how belief (change of one's mind in relationship to truth) is the engine that drives godly behavior, and how embracing God's truth transforms not just what we believe—but how we live.

Our journey through Philippians this week reminds us that if you have lost joy or have grown tired, that our hope in Jesus bring us joy again and again. Through chapter three, Paul encourages us that we are not under the law anymore but are under love. We are not bound by our flesh but free to live life according to Christ's love for us and for others. That if there is anything to boast in, it isn't found in our flesh or accomplishments, but all in Christ and His work on this Earth and the cross. Pastor Brandon shows us through Paul's writings that you can keep keep having joy if we know Jesus and aim to keep knowing Him, keep growing closer to Him, and look ahead at where following Him is taking you. - Key Verses // Philippians 3 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

We live in a culture that hates waiting, but God often does His deepest work in the seasons we want to skip. In James 5, we're commanded not just to endure, but to be patient, to work, trust, and stay faithful in the middle of the wait. Real growth doesn't happen when life is easy, but when we surrender to God's timing and trust that He's in control.
