Paul lands in Athens alone, walking a city drowning in idols, and what rises in him is a settled burning, the same grief God has over a place that has everything except him. In Acts 17 that burden turns into conversation. He doesn't open with Genesis. He finds an altar the Athenians built out of an old fear, quotes their own poets back to them, and tells the Epicureans and the Stoics where each of them is right before he shows them where they're wrong.We spend time on what that asks of us. Everyone has an Athens: an office, a campus, a group chat, a street. And every Athens has an altar, whether that's the pursuit of self, the pursuit of wealth, the phone we can't put down, or the wounds we've quietly built our lives around. We also look at the line between contextualizing the gospel and compromising it, because a Jesus who affirms everything and asks nothing of us is a Jesus who never called anyone to repent.Acts 17:16-34
QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?”~D. Martin Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981), Welsh minister and medical doctor “Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), German theologian “The central basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.”~Tim Keller (1950-2023), American pastor and author “To preach the gospel to yourself, then, means that you continually face up to your own sinfulness and then flee to Jesus through faith in His shed blood and righteous life. It means that you appropriate, again by faith, the fact that Jesus fully satisfied the law of God, that He is your propitiation, and that God's holy wrath is no longer directed toward you.”~Jerry Bridges, American authorSERMON PASSAGEPsalm 103 (ESV)1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6 The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children,18 to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. 20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word!21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will!22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

What happens when you grow up hearing about Jesus but don't see the life-changing power of the gospel around you? In this episode of Reconcile Stories, Sebastian shares his journey from growing up in church and becoming angry at God after moving overseas, through a season of substance abuse, brokenness, and spiritual searching, to discovering forgiveness, faith, and ultimately a calling to ministry. Sebastian talks honestly about the questions that shaped his view of God, including why suffering and injustice made him angry and how a difficult season in his life eventually led him to seriously consider what he believed. He also shares how a mentor helped him begin pursuing truth and understanding forgiveness, and how God used brokenness to draw him toward a deeper faith. The conversation then turns toward Sebastian's experience at Reconcile Community Church and what he has learned about ministry in a community that is different from the one he grew up in. What does it actually look like to serve people outside the Christian bubble? Will and Sebastian talk about why ministry takes time, why success can't always be measured by numbers, and why simply being present and building relationships can be more important than trying to immediately fix someone's problems. They also discuss the tension between cultural assumptions and biblical values, the importance of learning from people with different backgrounds, and why getting outside of your comfort zone can give you a fuller picture of how God works. Finally, Sebastian shares what he wishes other churches and people in Greenville understood about Reconcile—including the ways economic and cultural assumptions can unintentionally make people feel like the gospel isn't for them. This is a conversation about brokenness, forgiveness, faith, calling, relationships, ministry, and what it means to bring the gospel into the real world. ————————— In This Episode: - Growing up in church and struggling to see genuine excitement about God - Moving to Thailand as a child and becoming angry at God - Wrestling with suffering, injustice, and the goodness of God - A season of substance abuse and spiritual searching - Returning to church and realizing he actually missed it - A traumatic experience that forced Sebastian to confront deeper questions - The role of a mentor in his journey toward Christ - Learning about forgiveness - Recognizing brokenness and the need for spiritual zeal - Discovering Reconcile Community Church - Leaving the Christian bubble - Why ministry moves at the speed of relationships - Why ministry success can't always be measured by numbers - Learning to listen instead of assuming you already know what people need - The importance of simply being present - Choosing a ministry calling over money and comfort - Why Christians should expose themselves to different walks of life - Learning to distinguish cultural values from biblical values - How different communities can expand our understanding of God's work - Why churches can unintentionally create cultural barriers - Communicating the gospel in ways people can actually understand ————————— Key Takeaways: - Ministry isn't about fixing people or manufacturing results. - It's about faithfully showing up, building relationships, listening, sharing the gospel, and trusting God to do what only He can do. - Ministry moves at the speed of relationships. ————————— Please visit our website at reconcilecc.org for any questions.

Today's Bible Verse: "For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!" — 1 Corinthians 9:16 1 Corinthians 9:16 reveals Paul's deep sense of calling and responsibility to share the gospel. For Paul, preaching was not simply a career, personal achievement, or opportunity for recognition. He understood that God had entrusted him with the message of Jesus, and he felt compelled to faithfully share it. This verse challenges us to think about what God has entrusted to each of us. We may not all be called to preach from a platform, but every believer has opportunities to reflect Christ and share the hope of the gospel through our words, actions, relationships, and everyday conversations.

In week two of our Multiplying Church series, Pastor Jim Essian teaches from Exodus 14 on what it means to preach the gospel — to ourselves, to one another, and to the world.The Israelites were already free when God pinned them between the Egyptian army and the Red Sea. They were redeemed, but they hadn't learned how to live free yet. Most Christians know the same thing to be true of themselves: we know our sins are forgiven, but our past, our performance, and our fear are what's actually playing in high definition.Every other religion sends back military advice — you're going to have to fight for your life. The gospel sends a messenger with news: the war is already won. The Lord will fight for you, and you only have to be still.Scripture: Exodus 14Preached by Jim Essian at The Paradox Church in Fort Worth, TX—We saturate Fort Worth with the glory and grace of Jesus, even unto the nations — by praying heaven down, preaching the gospel, planting churches, and pushing back darkness.Plan a visit: https://www.theparadoxchurch.com/sunday-gatheringsGive: https://www.theparadoxchurch.com/giveTake your next step: https://www.theparadoxchurch.com/nextsteps#TheParadoxChurch #FortWorth #Exodus14 #Gospel #MultiplyingChurch #Sermon

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to preach the gospel to others, yet forget to preach it to yourself?Many believers know the gospel is the power of God for salvation, but often live the Christian life as though it depends on their own performance. When we fail, we feel condemned. When we succeed, we become prideful. In both cases, we've drifted from the finished work of Christ.In this episode, Brian opens Galatians 2:20 and discovers why the Apostle Paul rooted his entire life in the gospel. Together we'll explore what it means to be crucified with Christ, to live by faith in the Son of God, and to rest daily in the love of the Savior who "loved me and gave Himself for me."Drawing from Scripture and the timeless truths found in Milton Vincent's A Gospel Primer, this episode will encourage you to stop trusting your performance and start resting in Christ's perfect work. The gospel isn't just the message that brought you to faith. It is the message that strengthens, humbles, comforts, and transforms believers every single day.In this episode, we'll discuss:Why Christians need to preach the gospel to themselves daily.What Galatians 2:20 teaches about our identity in Christ.How union with Christ changes the way we fight sin and pursue holiness.Why the Christian life is lived by faith from beginning to end.Practical ways to remind your heart of the gospel every day.Whether you're battling guilt, pride, discouragement, fear, or simply feeling spiritually dry, this episode will point you back to the only place lasting hope is found: the finished work of Jesus Christ."The same gospel that saved you is the gospel that will sustain you. Don't just preach it to the lost. Preach it to your own heart every day." - Galatians 2:20

Did Jesus and Paul preach the same gospel? In this classic panel discussion recorded at TGC13, Don Carson, Kevin DeYoung, Tim Keller, and John Piper discuss whether Jesus and Paul agreed on the gospel. They respond to the trend among mainline scholars to pit Jesus's preaching on the kingdom against the gospel of salvation by grace through faith. Carson counsels that if others are abusing the doctrine of the kingdom in a reductionistic way, the response of evangelicals should be to preach the biblical view of the kingdom better and more often, for the glory of God.

When Culture, Protest, and the Gospel CollideIn recent news from Ukraine, a Pride march in Kyiv has once again drawn attention —not only from the public, but also from Christians wrestling with a deeper question: How should believers respond?Pride parade held in Kyiv this past weekThis isn't entirely new. Pride events in Ukraine have existed for years, growing steadily after 2016. But the full-scale invasion in 2022 disrupted much of public life, including social movements. In recent years, as parts of Ukraine have regained a measure of stability, public demonstrations, including Pride events and counter-protests, have reemerged. For Christians watching this unfold, especially in places where cultural shifts are happening rapidly, the question becomes urgent: should the Church respond with protest, with political action, or with something else entirely?The temptation to fight on the wrong battlefieldIt's easy for believers to assume that the most faithful response to cultural change is confrontation. If a public movement promotes values that conflict with Scripture, the instinct can be to organize counter-marches, raise banners, and enter the public square as political opponents. But Scripture repeatedly calls Christians to something more careful and more radical. When Jesus stood before Pilate, He made a striking declaration:My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place. - John 18:36That single statement reframes everything. The mission of Christ was never centered on political dominance or cultural enforcement. His kingdom does not advance through pressure, protest, or coercion but through transformed hearts. This does not mean Christians stay silent about truth. It means they must be clear about what kind of battle they are actually in.1. What kingdom are we building?The first question every believer must ask is simple: Am I investing more energy into an earthly cultural victory or into the eternal kingdom of Christ? Political and cultural movements may shift laws, influence societies, and reshape norms. But they cannot regenerate the human heart like the Gospel.Even if a society aligns externally with biblical ethics, it does not guarantee spiritual transformation. The kingdom of God is not built through legislation but rather through redemption.2. What gospel are we preaching?Paul writes:But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles. - 1 Corinthians 1:23The message of the cross has always been offensive to human systems of power and ideology. It disrupts every political alignment, because it calls every person, not one side or the other, to repentance.If the gospel we preach comfortably fits into one political framework while alienating none, we may have quietly replaced Christ with ideology. The gospel is not primarily a call to cultural reform. It is a call to surrender, repentance, and new life in Christ.3. What example are we showing?Jesus was famously criticized for His relationships:Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. - Matthew 11:19He did not avoid people considered morally distant from God by society's standards. But neither did He affirm sin. Instead, He brought truth wrapped in presence, compassion, and invitation. This creates a tension modern believers must learn to hold: truth without hostility, and love without compromise.The most effective witness is rarely a shouted message across a protest line. More often, it is a conversation across a table, a relationship built over time, and a life that reflects hope.A better way forwardThe real question isn't whether Christians should care about moral issues—Scripture is clear that truth matters. The question is what that concern is aimed at: winning cultural battles or seeing lives transformed by Christ. Only one produces lasting change.In times of tension, the Church is pulled toward silence or confrontation, but the way of Christ is neither. It is faithful witness—speak truth clearly, live with conviction, and keep the goal in view: not winning arguments, but seeing lives changed by Jesus Christ.

Luke 15:11-24
Paul and Barnabas continue the 2nd portion of this first missionary journey, where we see the message go out more to the Gentiles. Opposition is increasing and accelerating. Will the apostles cave and stop their mission? Or will they continue to preach the gospel? This passage shows us how through adversity, the message continues boldly, and breakthrough takes place with a mass conversion of Gentiles.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 16th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of Mark 16:15. Jesus says: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” I've written in the bottom of my Bible here, ”A great privilege. Thank you, Jesus, for this great honour. Please help us to preach with great power.”Early this morning, I got sent a little clip, and it has made me cry, and I have to share this with you. This year is the 20th anniversary of the making of the movie ”Faith like Potatoes.” I hope you've seen the movie. If you haven't, you need to see it, but it's all about ordinary people, just like you and me, but this clip was sent to me from bonnie Scotland. It is made in the south side of Glasgow, a tough area - beautiful people, coming from a tough background and living life in a tough way, but the salt of the earth. The video shows an Englishman going into a little shop that is selling potatoes. The Englishman walks in and is impressed by the state of the shop, and he says to the young man, ”I see you've got a book here on the counter. It's called, Faith like Potatoes.” The shop owner says,“Yes, sir.” He says, ”This South African came across, he wrote this book, and his father is in the book as well.” The Englishman is running a food blog, talking about food, nothing about Jesus at all, and he asked about the book. He said, ”You see sir, I was in a rehab. I had a problem, and God touched me, and now I'm doing this for Him. If you look at the walls of this shop, you'll see Scriptures everywhere, and this book is a story about a farmer who also trusted the Lord and believed God in a drought time, that He would get potatoes, and he planted potatoes, seed potatoes, and he reaped a crop.” And this Englishman is enthralled by this young man's story.What I want to say to you today is, we love the church, but what is happening is, God is moving outside the walls of the church in a very powerful way, and by the way, he's got a whole lot of extra shops now, all over Glasgow, and that's all he's doing. He's selling these beautiful cooked potatoes but he's got the word of God on the counter! He's got Scriptures all over the place and he's making no apologies, and this young Englishman is captivated.Today, use what you've got for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!God bless you and goodbye.
Thank you for listening to this sermon. We continue with Part 3 in our series on The Lord's Prayer; “your kingdom come, your will be done.” Date: 3/8/26 Speaker: Pastor Will Broadus Passage: Matthew 6:9-13 - The technique of prayer is not the main focus. The desire of prayer is what's important. - Prayer is the gap between how things are and how things should be, - Praying for the kingdom of God to come is praying for the expansion of the gospel.

By Gary Beam - From the apostles to us today the mission is to preach the gospel and make disciples from all nations. And the challenges remain the same throughout the ages as many are called but few are chosen.
