Message by Chris Brown on March 14, 2026. Today we need to call a timeout in our Surrender series just to reminder ourselves who Jesus really is. Most people would define Jesus by His time lived on earth between the manger scene and an empty tomb. Today we are going to find out that there is a much, much bigger Jesus in the Bible than just those 33 years.

Who is the authentic Jesus? In a world full of opinions, cultural interpretations, and personal versions of Christ, it's easy to lose sight of who Jesus truly is. In this sermon, Pastor Doug explores what the Bible actually reveals about Jesus—His identity, His authority, and why understanding the real Christ matters for your faith.Rather than reshaping Jesus to fit our preferences, Scripture calls us to encounter Him as He truly is. This message challenges believers to move beyond cultural ideas of Jesus and rediscover the authentic Christ revealed in God's Word.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

As we move into the book of Exodus we hear about Moses and all the plagues that God set against their gods. This leads to the final one that begins the practice of Passover and and therefor we learn how and why the Jewish people do this.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

In this message from Mark 4, Pastor Eric explores the story of Jesus calming the storm and the deeper question we all ask in crisis: God, don't you care? Through the chaos on the Sea of Galilee and the power revealed at the cross, we see that the real Jesus is limitless in power, wisdom, and love.

If we keep faith with our God we will see how the hard things in our lives can cause some good to come of it.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

Message from Morgan Powell on 01/03/2026

In Week 4 of The Real Jesus, Pastor Sean Klein challenges the idea that “ignorance is bliss” and reveals how, spiritually, ignorance can actually become a prison. Walking through Mark 2, we explore three powerful images, The Doctor, The Bridegroom, and The Gift, to uncover how the Pharisees misunderstood Jesus, religion, and even their own need for grace. This message invites us to confront where religion has distorted our view of God and rediscover the healing, joy, and freedom found in a real relationship with the God-King.

Send a textIn part 3 of "The Real Jesus," we look at some of the secret teachings of Jesus. In the beginning of His ministry, Jesus spoke openly and plainly to everyone – like His Sermon on the Mount – but, later in His ministry, Jesus began to speak in parables. Parables are meant to both reveal and conceal. They reveal truth to the people of God, and conceal that truth from those who aren't. What are some of the secrets of the Kingdom of God that Jesus reveals in His parables?!Thanks for tuning in!

“I had a testimony…but I didn't know God.” Hear John's raw story from LDS worthiness and good works to a born-again faith rooted in grace.A family finds meaning, structure, and visible change inside the Latter-day Saint community—until a quiet conversation about road rage and repentance opens a fault line. John Williford joins us to share how a “testimony” built on belonging and answers gave way to a born-again faith grounded in grace, Scripture, and a holy God who sees the heart. No debates, no shouting matches—just the piercing honesty of a brother who took sin seriously and the transforming relief of meeting Jesus as Lord rather than a ladder to climb.We trace John's path from cultural Mormonism to a born-again faith, moving from external worthiness to a deep grasp of sin, grace, and the identity of Jesus. The story wrestles with testimony, truth claims grounded in feelings, and how doctrine shapes life.• family's entrance into LDS and early “testimony”• sincerity and structure versus heart change• feelings as proof and the limits of experience• sin as offense before God, not just others• temple recommend culture and worthiness framing• contrasting Jesus in LDS teaching and historic Christianity• doctrinal shifts, prophets, and internet scrutiny• “proper translation” claims and scriptural authority• good works, brand, and what truly distinguishes faith• grace, new heart, and the fruit of repentanceWe walk through the early pull of LDS life: the tangible history, the warmth of community, and the confidence that every question had a tidy reply. Then we test those replies. Can feelings certify truth when two opposing testimonies collide? Does visible fruit—good works, kindness, disaster relief—prove theology, or can a system be coherent and still misname God? John contrasts an external “worthiness” culture with the biblical claim that sin is first against God, not merely a breach of social optics. That shift reframes everything: repentance replaces image management, and grace replaces a lifelong audit of merit.From there, we examine key doctrinal tensions: the nature of Jesus in LDS teaching versus historic Christianity, the move toward softer branding and strategic silence, and the common refuge of “proper translation” when Scripture cuts against the grain. We don't caricature; we let first-hand experience, primary sources, and Scripture set the terms. The result is not a checklist but a call: trade the shelf of unanswered doubts for the living Christ who invites questions, convicts the heart, and grants a new one.If this conversation challenged or encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest question about truth and grace.

This week we hear about how the suffering and sacrifice of Job is a scriptural foreshadowing of Jesus The Messiah and the price He paid for us.  We hear how God "sees us" in our suffering and is "with us" in our suffering.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

In this message from The Real Jesus, we explore what our deepest wishes reveal about our hearts, and how Jesus often meets us in ways we don't expect. The paralyzed man's friends came hoping for healing, but Jesus first offered something greater: forgiveness, fulfillment, and a restored relationship with God. This sermon invites you to ask, "What do you really want?" and to see that Jesus doesn't just grant wishes; He fulfills them.

Throughout the all the terrible things that befell Joseph in his life, he never blamed God or lost faith.

Send a textAs Scripture tells us, Jesus voluntarily limited His divinity and confined Himself to His Human flesh. One exception was when Jesus performed miracles. In this episode, we look at some of the miracles Jesus performed while He was on earth. What was the miracle? What was it's purpose? What was the symbolism of it? What is the application of it for us? Are the miracles like those in the New Testament  still happening today? And finally, is Jesus still gifting people to perform them?Thanks for tuning in!

In Romans 7:1-6, Paul presses into a truth that changes how you relate to God, how you live, and how you obey: you don't belong to rules and guidelines—you belong to Jesus Christ. Using the metaphor of marriage and the simple legal principle that death ends obligation, Paul shows how union with Christ releases believers from the Law's condemning jurisdiction—not so we can drift, but so we can bear fruit for God and serve in the new way of the Spirit. This message confronts both legalism and license, and calls you into the freedom you were made for: belonging wholeheartedly to the Real Jesus.5 things you'll learn from this message:· Why Paul says the Law is good and useful—but not your Master, Judge, or Justifier· How the marriage illustration explains jurisdiction and why “death ends obligation” is the key to Romans 7:1-6· What it means to “belong to Another,” and why that belonging produces fruit for God· How legalism and license are two opposite ways of missing the gospel—and how Romans 7 diagnoses both· What “serving in the new way of the Spirit” looks like in real life when you're accused, tempted, or even trying to obeySupport our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

In this sermon from Mark 1:16–34, Pastor Kelly explores the authority of the real Jesus—the One who calls ordinary people, silences darkness, and brings healing where brokenness lives. Through powerful stories of discipleship, spiritual resistance, and Jesus' unmatched power, we're invited to examine the rival authorities competing for our trust. Ultimately, this message asks one defining question: will we give Jesus our yes and crown Him as King over every part of our lives?

Send us a textThere's only one real Jesus, but there sure are a lot of fake replicas! The difference in whether you have a rock-solid foundation or a foundation built on sand is whether your hope and faith is built on the real Jesus or an some imitation of Jesus. For both our life here on earth and for the day when either Jesus comes back or we face Him after our death, we need to make sure that we're standing on the solid rock of Jesus – the real Jesus. In this episode, we begin a three part mini-series on The Real Jesus. We begin fleshing out what it means that Jesus is both fully God and fully Man. How exactly does this work?Thanks for tuning in!

Message from Matt Sweetman on February 8, 2026

Pastor Eric kicks off a brand-new series through the Gospel of Mark by calling it “the greatest introduction of all time”—an opening that reveals Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Lord who has come near. In Mark 1, we meet John the Baptist as the forerunner, witness Jesus' baptism and the Trinity on display, and hear the first words Jesus speaks: “The time has come.” This message is an invitation to course-correct toward the real Jesus, the God-King whose good news changes everything.

God makes a covenant with Abram that sounds incredible but Abram has faith in God and does as he's told.

Seeing how wicker His creation had become, God decided to wipe them from the earth. He set loose a flood the covered the whole world destroying everything save Noah and his family who were instructed to build an ark and collect a certain amount of all the forms of life on the earth.   They were the only ones that still followed God.  Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

William Taylor - Man-made and imaginary agendas for Jesus all fail because they fail to take seriously the condition of humanity. Jesus insists that it is only through his death, resurrection, and enthronement that eternal life can be made available. And that eternal life only comes by his Spirit and through his word. The problem for us is that the concept of a crucified Messiah is, and always has been, deeply offensive.

William Taylor - Some presentations of Jesus and of what it means to follow him are quite simply fake. They bear no relation to who he is and what he offers. Jesus exposes these as he defines his real identity and true work.

Counterfeit Christ | Who Is the Real Jesus? | Jonathan Moynahan

William Taylor - It is easy for us to shape our own views of who Jesus is such that he becomes a comfortable figure who fits nicely into our agenda for him. In John 6 Jesus challenges such ‘plastic Jesus' images. He is greater and more wonderful than anything we could invent…and less cosy!
