We've all wondered it: Does God have a special assignment for me, and if so, how do I know if I'm actually accomplishing it? The Bible doesn't record Nehemiah ever receiving a prophetic dream or vision from God, and yet, he has a divinely placed burden that moves him to act. In this week's message from Nehemiah 2, Pastor J.D. shows us how to narrow down what God might be calling us to do for his kingdom. Not everything that comes from heaven has your name on it, but something does.

We begin a five-week journey through the book of Jonah—a story not ultimately about a storm, a fish, or a city, but about a merciful God who pursues resistant hearts. In this opening message, we see how subtle disobedience, misplaced comfort, and misunderstood grace can lead us to run from God's call. Yet even in our rebellion, God's pursuing mercy meets us—sometimes through the storm.Are you sailing toward your own Tarshish, or surrendering to the King who loves you too much to let you run?Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

God: The Holy Spirit - God IN You | John 16:7 | J.D. Greear ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: This week, Pastor J.D.

In this message, Pastor J.R. explains that God works through people and that personal stories are powerful tools for impact. He reflects on Jesus crossing into unfamiliar territory and encountering the demon-possessed man, emphasizing that Jesus did not avoid storms but moved through them with purpose. The message highlights how people struggle with things they can't fix—like anger, fear, and habits—and how true freedom comes from Jesus. Pastor J.R. points out that while Jesus brings healing, it can be disruptive, but it also leads to transformation and mission. He concludes that believers are messengers, called to share what Jesus has done in their lives, because someone's eternity could be changed by their story.

In this message from Romans 15, Pastor J.D. challenges us to lift our eyes to the ends of the earth. When Jesus left his disciples, he promised that his gospel would go to every nation, tribe, language, and tongue. That task isn't finished. And God is calling many of us to follow him to the most unreached parts of the planet. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it dangerous? Yes. Is he worthy of it? Absolutely.

In this message from Luke 15, we begin our Rhythms of Grace series by exploring Jesus' parable of the prodigal son — a story not just about rebellion, but about pride… and a Father who pursues both.One son ran away.One son stayed home.Both were lost.Both were invited in.As we enter the Lenten season, this sermon calls us to repentance — to come home to the heart of the Father and join the celebration of grace.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

The Bible is full of stories of God using ordinary people to do amazing things by putting his vision into them, and the book of Nehemiah is no exception. In this week's message from Nehemiah 1, Pastor J.D. gives us helpful principles for discerning God's call on our own lives. The truth is, Nehemiah wasn't someone of particular privilege or position; he had simply heard from God and was burdened to act. And when he did, God used him to change history. How might he choose to use you?

If there’s one myth surrounding marriage that has been perpetuated by our society, it’s that marriage is what completes you. Of course, Jesus refuted this idea over and over in his teachings. In this message from Mark and Luke, Pastor J.D. shows us the importance and implications of considering the church as family. When we take this seriously, we will realize that faithfully investing in this family will yield a harvest far beyond what we could ever imagine.

Throughout history, there have been countless songs, poems, and books written about love. Yet, we know that turning to pop culture for advice on finding love is not the wisest course of action. In this message, Pastor J.D. reminds us from Song of Solomon 1 and 2 of some foundational truths about love that are helpful in navigating singleness, dating, and marriage. In the end, these earthly forms of love are intended to be a signpost, pointing us to the much greater love that God has for us.

Pastor Jerry Madden gives a response to some social media posts regarding South Carolina Church of God properties and ties the conversation in to his current read "Atomic Habits." Take a few minutes and enjoy the conversation

In this message Pastor J.R. urges believers to identify people in their life who are stuck or hurting and commit to praying for them and bringing them to Jesus. Using the story in Luke 5 of the paralyzed man whose friends lowered him through the roof, he highlights bold, inconvenient faith that refuses to give up when obstacles stand in the way. He emphasizes that Jesus first forgave the man's sins before healing him physically, showing that spiritual restoration is the deeper miracle. The message explains that many people today are “paralyzed” by things like sin, addiction, shame, or anxiety and often won't come to church on their own, so they need others to carry them through loving intervention. Pastor J.R. challenges listeners that while they are not responsible for the miracle, they are responsible for the effort of “carrying the mat” by inviting, helping, and persistently bringing people to Jesus.

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.

Sure! Here is the complete description, ready for you to copy and paste:Podcast Episode TitleMidday Bible Study: Isaiah 58:1–14 | From the Hypocrisy of Religion to the Hope of RelationshipEpisode DescriptionAre we just going through the motions, or are we truly seeking the heart of God? In this power-packed midday study, Pastor J dives deep into Isaiah 58, a chapter that serves as a divine "wake-up call" for every believer.We often confuse religious activity—like fasting and ritual—with true righteousness. But God is looking for more than just a bowed head; He is looking for a broken heart that leads to a transformed life.In this episode, we explore: * The Mask of Religion: Identifying the "form of godliness" that lacks real power. * The Fast God Chooses: Understanding how true worship is tied to justice, compassion, and breaking the chains of the oppressed. * The Promise of Restoration: How transitioning from "Religion" to "Relationship" unlocks the promise of being a "watered garden" and a "repairer of the breach."If you've been feeling spiritually dry or wondering why your prayers aren't hitting the mark, this study is for you. It's time to move past the outward show and step into the authentic, life-changing hope found in a genuine relationship with the Father.

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.

In the final week of For the One More, we turn to Acts 2 to see what happens after grace is received. When the gospel pierces hearts and Christ is trusted, God doesn't just save individuals — He forms a people.This sermon explores how repentance leads to new life, how the Spirit shapes a gospel culture, and how a church marked by truth, fellowship, joy, and sincerity becomes the means through which God continues to save the one more.The Lord is still adding. The question is: will we be a people shaped by the grace we've received?Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

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.

In this message Pastor J.R. uses the story of the woman at the well in John 4 to talk about how people chase things they think will finally satisfy them, only to still feel empty. He explains that the Samaritan woman's shame, broken past, and isolation didn't stop Jesus from engaging her with compassion instead of condemnation. The “living water” Jesus offers is described as the only thing that truly satisfies the deep spiritual thirst people try to fill with relationships, success, approval, or other temporary fixes. Pastor J.R. highlights that Jesus exposed the truth about her life not to shame her, but to free her, showing that He already knows people's stories and still pursues them. The message ends as an invitation to stop returning to the same “wells” and to trust Jesus as the source of real, lasting fulfillment and new life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
