What if every time you saw your spouse, or your friends, or your parents, or boss or your employees, you had a thought, that if obeyed, would radically change everything? Pastor J.D. reveals one simple, transforming question, that if asked and obeyed, will change every relationship.

As we go through our days, we might notice the needs and interests of other people around us, and sometimes we're empathetic to those things. But at the end of the day, those interests of others are almost always secondary to our own. Pastor J.D. shows us just how important the interests are of those we love! We're studying Chapter 5 of the book of Ephesians.

Pastor J.D. helps us answer the question, “What are you looking for when you yearn for love and romance?” We're going to deal with our expectations in marriage and what God's plan is for singleness as we continue our study of Ephesians 5 called First Love.

Our culture often acts like romantic love is the pinnacle of human existence. From our earliest days, we read about storybook characters finding their “happily ever after” with their soulmate. But, is that really how it works? Pastor J.D. gives us a balanced, biblical view of marriage and singleness as he continues our new series on relationships called First Love in Ephesians 5.

What keeps you from giving up when following Jesus gets hard? In this week's sermon from 2 Timothy 2:8–13, we are challenged to endure in our calling to make disciples—even when it's costly. Through Paul's words to Timothy, we're reminded that our strength to keep going doesn't come from within, but from remembering Jesus Christ—risen from the dead, reigning as King, and faithful even when we are faithless.Whether you're weary, discouraged, or just trying to stay faithful in the everyday grind, this sermon will encourage and re-center you on the One who never fails.Learn more about Mission Church at www.missionlasvegas.com

“Lukewarm” isn't really a desirable trait in, well, just about anything. After all, is there anyone who actually looks forward to a lukewarm cup of coffee in the morning? But when Jesus uses this word, what he has in mind is something far worse. In this week's message from Revelation 3, Pastor J.D. takes us through John's last three letters to the churches. Though Jesus doesn't have anything negative to say to the church at Philadelphia, he has plenty to say to the congregation of Laodicea, and it begins with his visceral reaction to their halfhearted Christianity. We, of course, have to be careful not to fall into the same trap: claiming the name of Jesus with our lips but living lives that are in no way distinct from the world.

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be? Meal time was just as important to the life of Jesus as it is in our lives today. Pastor J.D. dives into Luke 14 in our new series called Come to the Table where Jesus tells several parables comparing the kingdom of God. Lost people are found, broken people are put back together, addicts are set free, lonely people find community, and sins are forgiven at Jesus' table.

Do you pray? Do you ever wonder how to pray or even feel like you're doing it wrong. Prayer is asking God. Prayer is a close conversation with our Heavenly Father. Today Pastor J is kicking off a new series about prayer. Do you know Jesus prayed? Yes, even the Son of God spent time alone with God in prayer. So we are gonna start this series asking God to teach us to pray. Let's pray together.Links to Lord's Prayer articles by Pastor J - https://www.1517.org/articles/forgive-us-our-trespassesRecorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, June 29, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)

In this powerful and challenging message, Pastor John unpacks the Apostle Paul's words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:1–7, reminding us that the call to follow Jesus is far more than a call to believe — it's a call to be transformed and to multiply.Too often, the modern church settles for attendance without transformation and service without surrender. But Jesus didn't say, “Believe in Me and carry on with your life.” He said, “Follow Me.” And to follow Him means to walk in obedience, to be shaped into His likeness, and to be sent out on mission.Through the vivid imagery of a soldier, an athlete, and a hardworking farmer, Paul paints a picture of the kind of endurance, discipline, and focus required for a life of faithful discipleship. Pastor John reminds us that spiritual growth takes intentional effort, and while the mission is great, we are not left to carry it in our own strength. We are to be continually strengthened by the grace found in Christ Jesus.Learn more about Mission Church at www.missionlasvegas.com

Sometimes it's easy to look at history and assume we won't repeat the same mistakes. We feel like we've learned from the past and look down on the actions of previous generations. But what's different about our hearts? Pastor J.D. Greear encourages us to look at our own hearts today as he continues our series called, Listen.

In our culture, we conduct business by creating agreements or contracts so that we're sure we know what we're getting or what we're owed. It's a binding relationship between parties. But how many of us extend that same mind-set to our relationship with God? Pastor J.D. teaches about the dangers of believing God owes us something and wanting him to give us what we deserve.

Have you had an encounter with God that you would describe like finding a hidden treasure? Like finding a treasure that brought you so much joy that you gladly left everything else to possess it? Many of us, if we were honest, might choose a different image - something more like a never-ending to-do list or being tied to a ball-and-chain. Today, Pastor J.D. is going to steer us in another direction so that we more clearly understand who Jesus is and what he is offering to us.

Pastor J. Bryant Lagoe Wednesday Evening 6/18/25

Jesus once told a story about two men - both of them come across something of such value that it makes everything else in their lives look worthless by comparison. Today, Pastor J.D. looks at the differences between these two men as he continues our series on Jesus' parables titled, "Listen."

In this week's sermon from our series Entrusted, we dive into 2 Timothy 1:1–7, where the Apostle Paul writes to a weary and discouraged Timothy from a Roman prison. Paul's call? “Rekindle the gift of God that is in you.” It's a deeply personal, pastoral reminder that speaks not just to Timothy, but to all of us who've felt the fire of faith flicker under the weight of fear, fatigue, or discouragement.This is a call for all believers—not just pastors or leaders. Whether you feel like your passion is burning bright or barely a flicker, God meets you not with shame, but with grace—and invites you to stir up the flame of faith through His Spirit.Mission Church www.missionlasvegas.com

Yesterday on Summit Life, we began a new series about the parables of Jesus. In these stories, Jesus reveals the beauty of the gospel, but only for those whose heart is in a posture to perceive it—only for those who truly listen. Let's join Pastor J.D. as he teaches from Matthew, Chapter 13.

Happy Father's Day! We are celebrating fathers today, but what does it take to be a good dad? If we are honest, we don't always feel good, what do we gotta do? Pastor J is gonna introduce us to a father who brings his family to Jesus. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, June 15, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

We may think that making a small compromise here and there doesn't matter. But the truth is that there is inherent danger in compromising our beliefs or morals, danger that can sometimes lead to disaster. In this week's message from Revelation 2, Pastor J.D. takes us through John's letters to the churches at Ephesus and Smyrna, showing us where Jesus both commends and challenges these congregations. Jesus' warning should serve as a sobering reminder to us today: It's possible to be faithful to the doctrines and practices of Jesus while having hearts that are cold and far from him.

Do you ever have FOMO? The fear of missing out? It can even become like a drug—needing a hit of entertainment or distraction to find satisfaction and enjoyment. Sometimes in order to be focused on what we need to be focused on, we have to say “no” to something else. Pastor J.D. shows us that distraction and the feeling of being overwhelmed and hurried often comes from being terribly out of fellowship with Jesus. He even gives us a list of super helpful and practical things we can do today, so make sure you listen to the end.

It's safe to say that our society deals with more distractions than any previous society in history. Most of us feel like we are constantly pulled in different directions. Today, Pastor J.D. talks about being a distracted people who need focus—mostly away from our phones. He's going to help us distinguish between good and bad distractions by looking to how Jesus seemed to be entirely in-distractible on the one hand but imminently interruptible on the other!

Today we begin our teaching series titled, Rest & Distraction. In this short series, Pastor J.D. will show us that those most mature in Jesus are not those working hardest for him but those resting most in him.
