As we close our journey through the book of Exodus, we come to a seemingly anticlimactic ending—the construction of the tabernacle. You might think it strange, after all of the crescendos in the book, to end here. The burning bush, the 10 plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, Moses meeting God on the mountain … and this is the happy ending? But as Pastor J.D. shows us, the tabernacle functioned as the center of the Israelites walk with God. Not only that, but through Jesus, it can enrich our daily time with God as well.

We tend to read the story of the Israelites making the golden calf and ask, “How could they?” But we fail to realize that what the Israelites were guilty of, idolatry, is the very thing that is behind all of our other sins. Today, Pastor J.D. shows us not only the danger of idolatry in our lives, but how we can escape it. Ultimately, what is bad news for those who reject Christ is actually good news for those who follow him: You become like what you worship.

You might expect Paul's final instructions to the Corinthian church to be full of eloquent, stirring rhetoric, designed to hype them up as they faced survival in a world hostile to Christ. But what we find in reading his final charge to this congregation is strikingly different. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 12 and 13, Pastor J.D. shows us how Paul's focus was on calling the church back to the fundamentals, lived out in the context of community. His words remain essential to us today, as we navigate a world no less hostile to Christ and his message.

Pastor J. Bryant Lagoe Wednesday Evening 1/28/26

In a secular, post-Christian society like the one we find ourselves living in, the Ten Commandments aren’t exactly popular. Cries to “live your own truth” threaten to drown out the absolute truth of God’s law. But how can we expect to love each other well without parameters for what that actually looks like in practice? Today, Pastor J.D. shows us how the Ten Commandments are designed to help us flourish, experiencing God’s creation as it was truly intended to be. True freedom, it turns out, isn’t found in the absence of God’s law, but in the embracing of it.

We all have an important role to play in the body of believers. This truth, though seemingly ingrained in us now, was something that God had to intentionally teach the Israelites. Today, Pastor J.D. takes us through three foundational lessons that God taught the Israelites about life in the redeemed community. In showing them that everything wasn’t meant to be centered around one leader, the people were ultimately better equipped to serve the needs of the community as a whole.

Salvation doesn't begin with our search for Jesus—it begins with His pursuit of us. In Luke 19, we meet Zacchaeus, a man hidden in plain sight, and a Savior who stops, calls him by name, and brings salvation to his house. This message reminds us that Jesus still seeks, still saves, and still goes after the one more.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

In Disney's “Wreck-It Ralph,” a video game character named Vanellope has a frustrating glitch, making her flicker and disappear. It's a source of shame for the entire movie … until she learns that this “glitch” actually provides her with a power she could never have imagined. Her glitch was actually a feature. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 11–12, Pastor J.D. shows us a similar “glitch” in the life of Paul—and, in fact, in the lives of all believers. It's that point of pain and struggle we all wish we could remove. But as we'll learn, this “glitch” of weakness is actually the gateway to experience God's grace: God's power made perfect.

Message by Pastor J.J. Stanbridge Text: PSALM 40 The post Magnify the Lord appeared first on Flint Hill Baptist Church.

Paul's relationship with the Thessalonian church reveals what it means to stand fast in faith during life's storms. Standing fast doesn't mean avoiding challenges, but remaining steady and committed to Christ despite pressure. Gospel relationships provide deep heart connections that sustain us when we can't be physically present with those we care about. Suffering often strengthens our faith rather than indicating God's absence, as spiritual opposition frequently signals God is doing something significant. Encouragement acts as oxygen for spiritual endurance, and prayer enables ministry across any distance or barrier.https://www.ankenyfree.church

You aren’t likely to find many people who genuinely enjoy tests, but they certainly have a way of revealing where we are lacking in knowledge. Today, Pastor J.D. explains three tests that God walked the Israelites through after delivering them through the Red Sea. These tests, along with the lessons learned from them, were so fundamental that New Testament writers would later refer to them again and again. The truth is, we are no less forgetful than the Israelites, and like them, we need to be continually reminded of why God is always worthy of our trust.

The parting of the Red Sea was not only an epic moment in Israel’s history, but an event that would become the most frequent image of salvation in the Old Testament. Pastor J.D. shows us how this defining moment became a marker for the Israelites to look back on when their faith faltered. In the same way, when we are tempted to doubt God’s goodness in our lives, we can remember his faithfulness to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

In week two of For the One More, we turn to John 4 and witness Jesus intentionally pursuing one unlikely sinner at a well. Through His encounter with the Samaritan woman, we see a Savior who crosses barriers, exposes the deeper thirst of the soul, and offers living water that truly satisfies. This message reminds us that only Jesus can quench our deepest longings—and that hearts changed by grace cannot stay silent. Come and see the Savior of the world who still seeks the one more.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

There are many spiritual battles that we will face in our lives, whether related to our own growth, parenting our children, or seeing someone come to Christ. The problem is that we often try to fight these battles out of our own strength, rather than relying on the power that God supplies. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 10, Pastor J.D. shows us the importance of being properly equipped for any spiritual battle—and it begins with things like prayer, saturating ourselves in the Word, and depending on the Holy Spirit.

In this message Pastor J.R. challenges listeners to consider who they see when they look in the mirror, using a story of a student who defined herself by painful labels like insecure, unloved, and afraid. He connects this to Israel in Numbers 13, explaining how the spies saw themselves as weak and small because they were looking in the wrong mirror instead of trusting God's promises. Pastor J.R. emphasizes that many people carry similar internal labels such as “not good enough” or “too sinful,” which shape how they live and limit their faith. He teaches from James 1 that God's Word is the true mirror that reveals who we really are and calls believers to action, not just self-reflection. Ultimately, he declares that Jesus didn't just come to forgive but to rename us, urging listeners to break false labels and embrace their new identity in Christ as chosen, forgiven, and God's masterpiece.

Paul's ministry to the Thessalonians reveals what authentic Christian living looks like when following Jesus comes at a cost. His sacrificial approach, working night and day to support himself while preaching, flowed from a settled identity in Christ rather than seeking human approval. Like a father caring for his children, Paul focused on long-term spiritual formation, exhorting believers to walk worthy of God. The Thessalonians received God's Word not as human wisdom but as divine truth that actively worked in their lives. Their suffering for the Gospel wasn't punishment but participation in Christ's mission, proving they carried something powerful.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Pastor J. Bryant Lagoe Wednesday Evening 1/14/26

For many people in the world, believing in God may not necessarily be a far reach. But believing in Jesus? Furthermore, believing that it was necessary for Jesus to die in order for us to receive forgiveness of sins? That, they would say, is a step too far. In this week’s message from Exodus 11–13, Pastor J.D. takes us through the story of the Passover, showing us the mercy of God for the Israelites. Ultimately, this mercy would find expression in Jesus, the true Passover Lamb and our only hope of forgiveness.

Our obedience to God doesn’t necessarily guarantee that things in our life won’t go wrong, or that we won’t fail. And yet, that’s a hard pill to swallow—if we’re obeying God, surely everything will fall into place, right? In this week’s message from Exodus 4–6, Pastor J.D. shows us how Moses faced this very struggle in his first confrontation with Pharaoh. Ultimately, God allowed Moses to fail not because he was cruel, but as a demonstration of his saving power and unmatched glory.

In Luke 15, Jesus reveals the heart of a Shepherd who joyfully seeks the lost and rejoices when even one sinner is found. This sermon launches our new series For the One More, calling us to rediscover God's joy, resist subtle spiritual drift, and align our hearts with what heaven celebrates. As we look at the parable of the lost sheep, we're reminded that salvation begins with God's pursuit—and that those who've been carried home are invited to rejoice and make room for the one more.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

It can be tricky to distinguish a real diamond from a fake one, and it requires intentional examination to do so. In much the same way, we don't always know if someone's faith is real just by looking at them from the outside. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 6–7, Pastor J.D. provides us with some diagnostic questions to ask ourselves in order to determine if our own faith is authentic. If we want to be true disciples of Jesus, we must do the hard work of honestly reflecting on things such as our repentance and our relationships, uncomfortable though it may be.

Pastor J. Bryant Lagoe Wednesday Evening 1/7/26

When we are overwhelmed by a particular challenge or even just by life itself, feelings of insecurity can threaten to take over. In today's message from Exodus 3 and 4, Pastor J.D. walks us through Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush. Though Moses felt completely unprepared for the assignment in front of him, God provided reassurance that was rooted in his unchanging nature. This reassurance addressed what Moses needed the most, and what we need the most in the face of life’s challenges and trials: the very presence of God himself.

On the first Sunday of the new year, we turn to Psalm 1 to discover that real happiness isn't found in self-improvement or fresh resolutions—but in a righteousness none of us possess on our own. This sermon reveals how Psalm 1 points us to Jesus, the only truly righteous One, and invites us to find life, stability, and blessing by being united to Him. As Mission Church looks ahead to 2026 and our vision For the One More, we begin the year anchored in the gospel and the grace of Christ.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Rescue. Salvation. Deliverance. These words characterize the story of the book of Exodus, as God frees his people from slavery in Egypt in an amazing display of power and might. As we begin a new series through the first half of Exodus, Pastor J.D. shows us from the first two chapters what we can learn about God’s work of salvation on a broad scale, as well as in our individual lives. And often, the very aspects of our lives that we consider weak, broken, or useless are what God uses to write a beautiful story of redemption.

In this message, Pastor J.R. teaches that life without the Holy Spirit is like a lamp without oil—having structure and form but lacking true power and flame. He explains that spiritual oil requires intention, surrender, and dependence on God, emphasizing that God's work cannot be accomplished through human strength. Pastor J.R. warns that many believers are spiritually depleted, running on “low power mode” because they are working for God without walking with Him. He stresses that the Spirit fills those who are fully surrendered, and when believers are Spirit-filled, they tangibly change the atmosphere around them by carrying God's presence into every environment. He concludes with practical rhythms for staying anointed.

In this message from Genesis 32, Pastor J.D. tells the story of Jacob, a man who began his life as a deceiver and ended his life with a limp—but who, right in the middle, wrestled with God and received an unimaginable blessing. Jacob provides a model for all of us who have ever waited on God to answer us, unsure if he hears, he cares, or he will ever act. Through Jacob, we learn that many of the blessings of God are released into our lives only through persistent, unrelenting prayer.

Christmas often finds us tired, burdened, and carrying quiet fears beneath the lights and songs. In this Christmas Eve message from Luke 2, we hear the angel's announcement spoken straight into the darkness: “Do not be afraid.” Discover how true joy doesn't come from changed circumstances, but from God's gracious action—sending His Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, Messiah, and Lord. Into real fear, God brings peace. Into real darkness, God sends light.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

The Savior that was promised hundreds of years before Jesus came to earth was the Messiah an army under siege needed … not because they needed to be delivered from their enemies but because they needed to be delivered from their sin. Pastor J.D. continues today in Isaiah 7 to show us how to approach the Wonderful Counselor, who knows our sin but instead of condemnation offers us the righteousness of Christ.

One of the most intriguing elements of the Christmas story is that of the wise men, who see a mysterious star and set out on a journey that ultimately leads them to worship Jesus. In this week's message from Matthew 2, Pastor J.D. gives us a snapshot of various responses to the birth of Jesus, all of which are still seen in different degrees today. Just as God used a sign to lead the wise men to the Savior, he continues to meet us where we are and draw us to himself. The only question is if we will respond to Jesus' birth as the wise men did, with joy upon joy upon joy.

The promise of a Savior that wouldn't arrive for 700 years might not have been a great comfort to the army that received the prophecy, but God knew what they needed, and what we need today, is a Messiah who would save us from our sin. Today, Pastor J.D. is unpacking the promise of Isaiah 9 from the series “Hope Has a Name” and showing us how we should approach the Wonderful Counselor, who brings light to our darkness and gives us the gift of himself.

Have you ever been in a place of immense darkness, literal or otherwise? If so, then you know how incredibly powerful it is when you see the first rays of light beginning to break through. In this week’s message from Isaiah 9, the last in our Christmas series, Pastor J.D. shows us how Jesus is the light that the long-ago prophet spoke about. Even when darkness threatens to overwhelm this weary world, we can rejoice in the knowledge that the light of Jesus has come—a light that will never be eclipsed by darkness.

While Christmas has inspired the writing of many songs throughout the centuries, one song that is often overlooked is a biblical one—namely, that of Zechariah, whose words were inspired by the birth of John the Baptist. It talks about three ordinary objects and how they can help us better apprehend the meaning of Christmas. In this message from Luke 1, Pastor J.D. walks through Zechariah’s song to explain the first of these objects, the horn. At first glance, it may seem a curious image to use—but its rich symbolism serves to point us to Jesus, the ultimate horn of salvation.

Though the first few chapters of Acts are filled with baptisms and miracles, the pivotal point of the book—the stoning of Stephen—shows how God uses ordinary believers to display his power and accomplish his mission amidst persecution. In today’s message from Acts 7 and 8, Pastor J.D. encourages us to consider how God might be calling us to advance the mission of the gospel. It won’t look the same for everyone, of course. But the worth of Jesus and the truth of the gospel should compel us to share with a lost and dying world, whether here or overseas.

As we finish our “In Step” series through the Gospel of Luke, Pastor J.D. walks us down the path to Jesus' tomb. We've all walked that lonely path in one form or another over the past 12 months, wondering where life is headed. The bad news? It's headed to the grave. The good news? It doesn't have to stay there. Because of the resurrection, the path to true life doesn't end at the grave. It begins there.
