As we walk away from the idolatry of the cross, we must build within us again the desire to express our worship of God. Not only this, but what exactly is supposed to represent God's work through Jesus upon the earth. Therefore, we must understand this in the context of whom and what Jesus really is. In this, we can better appreciate the devilish work of Satan exchanging the tree of life for dried, dead wood. Jesus and His work is not a cross upon a wall, it is a tree of life given to all who will eat of it through obedient faith. In this study, I hope to walk us away from the idolatry of the cross in our hearts and mind, and arrive upon the solid ground resting under the tree of life that is Jesus. Then we will become living branches sharing His life-giving power to a dying world.

Represent Jesus | Pastor Matthew Medick | 3/16/2025 by Redeeming Love Church
Such Good Lives: Love Always 1 Peter 2:9-12 YOU have a ROLE to PLAY in what Christ is doing through his church for the sake of the world. Wherever there is a task, there is an opportunity to REPRESENT JESUS. Baptism is not only LIFE-SAVING and LIFE-CHANGING, it is LIFE-DETERMINING. God loves HIS PEOPLE. He TREASURES and CHERISHES you. This is NOT our forever home! ABSTAIN from sinful desires. Beware of two extremes: ACCOMODATION and ISOLATION Good/beautiful lives can turn ACCUSATION into ADORATION. We live with an “EVEN IF” resolve . . .
Jeremiah 29:7 - Jesus was incredibly political, but He focused on the Kingdom of Heaven and not the cities of men. God calls us to be ambassadors of His Kingdom in the world. His Kingdom is one of unity, love, and obedience to God. Represent Jesus well during this election. Vote this week to help God's Kingdom and your country prosper.

We had an assassination attempt and the bowing out of a presumptive nominee within 8 days. What will happen next? With a title like this, you might expect we are talking about end times. But, God is king over all the nations, including ours and he is doing just what he said he would do. He fulfills his word, sometimes in the usual way, sometimes in extraordinary ways. We have watched it in real-time. NOTES: Daniel 2:20-22 Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. Isaiah 40:22-24 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; who brings princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness. RECAP/TAKEAWAYS Don't read more into events than is there. You don't know for sure what God is doing until after the fact. Don't let historical events change your conduct. Unusual events do not call for panicked or un-Christian responses. Represent Jesus in your conduct. 1 Peter 1:14-19 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 1 Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. Avoid partisan passions.Do not interpret these events through the lens of your preferred outcomes. If the other team wins, it does not necessarily spell doomsday. Beware of a desire for more drama. The news can be addicting, especially when it is so unusual. Pray. Pray for President Biden and his family, Donald Trump, and Kamala Harris. Pray for the election results to be such that the church can live quiet and godly lives in Christ Jesus. GET IN TOUCH: We'd love to hear from you.

Jesus is sending out the disciples to do what they've seen him doing for some time now. But there's a danger here in taking his words too casually. When we put them within the context of the whole of chapter 10, they begin to carry a bit more weight. So if we read these words a little more deeply - and NOT a simply casual reading - here are some things I think we'll notice: 1) Jesus people are meant to do their Jesus thing from the margins. Now, I'm certain that this would come as a surprise to a lot of Jesus people today. We're used to being in the center. But this wasn't the case for the earliest disciples. They were sent out as vulnerable outsiders - people on the margins. What does this mean for us? Well, maybe we need to reexamine our yearning to cozy up to people in power. Maybe we need to rethink how we operate and instead operate out of a posture of extreme humility. 2) The small things become big things in the kingdom of God. Notice, it's the small things that get rewarded. Jesus doesn't care about our hierarchies - like, at all. We don't tend to glamorize the small little behind the scenes work. But that seems to be the work that God cherishes. Small things become big things. It's why Jesus talked about seeds and yeast, etc. 3) We represent Jesus whether we like it or not. This is staggering. What Jesus is offering his disciples and us is his reputation - his character - his standing in the world. Whoa. What if we took this literally? How would this change the way we act, speak, think? This idea could and SHOULD change everything. The church in our world has a lot of rethinking to do - maybe it starts in a little place like this and others like it. Speaker: Aaron Vis Scripture: Matthew 10:40-42 http://bible.com/events/49278279

Ambassadors of Jesus must represent Him well. Paul returns to the theme that a comfortable life does not affirm God's power or work in our lives. Instead, it is the way He enables us to persevere, despite distress, that shows us as legitimate ambassadors.
The way we treat others should clearly mark how we love Jesus. If we treat people poorly yet proclaim a transformed heart from Jesus, the world will struggle to believe us. Represent Jesus love well!

Colossians 2:7 NLT Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. When we are rooted, we don’t just survive, we can thrive. Colossians 3:1-2 NLT Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. Colossians 3:17 NLT And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. Represent Jesus in all we do and all that we say! Who are you wearing? Colossians 3:5-9 NLT So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. 6 Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. 7 You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. 8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. When you are rooted in Jesus, then the fruit of your life represents Jesus. How can we represent Jesus? 1. To represent Jesus, we need to put to death the old life. If we don’t put sin to death, sin will put us to death. James 1:14-15 NLT Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. 15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. When we are rooted in Jesus we will look more like Jesus. Colossians 3:10-11 NLT Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. 11 In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. 2. To represent Jesus, we need to put on the new life. Colossians 3:12-13 NIV Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:14-15 NLT Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body, you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. John 13:35 NLT Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” As followers of Jesus, we don’t dress to impress, we dress to make an impact. Matthew 7:20 NLT Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.

This Podcast is about How Christian Riders share their Faith. Many Christian Riders are intimidated by the idea of sharing their faith. Jesus never intended for the Great Commission to be an impossible burden. God meant for us to be witnesses of Jesus Christ through the natural outcome of living for him. So I wanted to talk about How to Share Your Faith in God With Others We make evangelism complicated. We think we must complete some 10-week course in apologetics before getting started. God designed an easy evangelism program. He made it simple for us. Here are five practical approaches to being a better representative of the gospel. First, Represent Jesus in the Best Possible Way Or, in the words of a pastor I know, "Don’t make Jesus look like a jerk." Try to keep in mind that you are the face of Jesus to the world. As followers of Christ, the quality of our witness to the world carries eternal implications. Unfortunately, Jesus has been poorly represented by many of his followers. I”m not saying that I am the perfect Jesus Follower—I am not. But if we, I talking about those of us who follow the teachings of Jesus) could represent him authentically, the term "Christian" or "Christ-follower" would be more likely to give a positive response than a negative one. Second, Be a Friend by Showing Love Jesus was a close friend to hated tax collectors like Matthew and Zacchaeus. He was called "Friend of Sinners" in Matthew 11:19. If we are his followers, we ought to be accused of being a friend of sinners too. Jesus taught us to how to share the gospel by showing our love to others in John 13:34-35: --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christian-rider-ministry/message

The world represents where they came from so well. How do believers represent God?
Pastor Mike Anderson -- Last week we looked at the parable of soil and the seed. As we are fertile soil and respond and not resist God’s word, Jesus can create great results through us. This week in Mark, Jesus sends the twelve apostles out to be his ambassadors in the world. They were going out on behalf of Jesus and they needed to represent him well. So, what does an ambassador of Jesus look like? And how can we be Christ’s ambassadors in world filled with so much darkness?
God has people for you to impact! This week we are talking about representing God everywhere you go.
Jesus was the most powerful man in the universe, yet He treated others with gentleness, not judgement and condemnation. We can do no less than represent Him to the world with His gentle touch.- Pastor Kristen
We as The Church and individual Christians are commanded by our Lord Jesus to be making disciples. When we are faithful in this the kingdom of God is spread and Jesus is represented well.
When we gather together as The Local Church we should be seeking to do what is pleasing to God and what represents King Jesus well.

Being able to freely express our feelings through Social Media is a gift given to us by God. That’s why we as Christians are expected by the Lord to always conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the calling He has placed our lives. Today, God is reminding us not to imitate the world & exercise self-control whenever we go online. We need to realize that we are living in challenging times where we will be constantly tempted by the enemy to react impulsively & speak negatively. Our Father wants us to always remember that "we are His children" & if we really want to win the world for Jesus, make a difference & have a blessed life, we need to represent Him well. [ "Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.” -Proverbs 13:3 ]

The enemy will always try to destroy our testimony by tempting us to react negatively in a difficult situation. We should not fall for it. Instead let's ask the Holy Spirit to give us the power to resist the temptation. Pray that He will give us a huge awareness of our role as Christians, as representatives of our Lord Jesus Christ here on earth. "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace..." -Colossians 4:5-6
