BUY JOBY'S BOOK: https://www.jobymartin.com/books/grace-train FOLLOW JOBY'S MINISTRY: https://coe22.com Joey Martin is the founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida. Since launching the church in 2012, he has led a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ. In addition to providing The Church of Eleven22 with vision and leadership, Pastor Joby is a national and international preacher and teacher. His latest book, Run Over By The Grace Train, unpacks the topic of grace as defined by the Gospels. Grace is one of the most important concepts in Christianity, it's also one of the most misunderstood, misapplied, and most abused. Run Over By the Grace Train explores the topic of grace: what it is, how we receive it, and how it changes absolutely everything about us. Encountering the incomparable, immeasurable grace of Jesus is like getting run over by a freight train: you're powerless against it, it takes you where it wants to, you can't do anything to stop it and it dramatically changes everything.

A sermon by Kelly Brady from Hosea 14

Whether you are a Jonah or a Nineveh, no one is too far gone for God's scandalous grace.

How can God forgive "those people" who don't deserve it? Because he can forgive people like you and me who don't deserve it.

When we hit rock bottom, Jesus joins us in the pit and brings us up and out.

The further we run from God, the deeper we sink.

03/17/2024 Paul Bang Jonah 4 Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion 4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly,[a] and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. 3 Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 And the Lord said, “Do you do well to be angry?” 5 Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. 6 Now the Lord God appointed a plant[b] and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort.[c] So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. 7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.” 9 But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.” 10 And the Lord said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”

Message from Aaron Ingle on October 22, 2023

The start of season ten! Sometimes, I can hardly believe it's been that long. And while we are still a year away from our tenth anniversary, it seems like a good time to go back and ground ourselves in some core ideas. For years now, we have included some of our foundational theological narrative on the first page of the journal. In this series, we will dive into each of the six statements that have kept us on course. And we will trust that God will help us journey even deeper into the Way of Jesus as we do. ★ Support this podcast ★

A standalone message spoken by Austin providing a calming reminder that God is not mad at you

Dr. Preston Sprinkle joins Dr. Mark Turman to discuss his book Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage, how to have uplifting conversations about controversial issues, the Bible's view of marriage, and common objections to the “historical” interpretation of marriage.    Show notes:    Dr. Preston Sprinkle covers his reasons for writing Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage, how to have a loving, respectful conversation about tough issues, and how he became an author and speaker in this field (2:42). He talks about the need for graciousness, humility, and genuine curiosity, how Gen Xers and Boomers can easily fail at this (12:40). They speculate as to why Christians, and everyone else, seem so bad as having hard conversations (21:17). Dr. Sprinkle defends his using secular psychology and why he uses the term “historical Christian view” (24:19). They turn to discuss singleness, and why life without sex or marriage is still fulfilling in the Christian worldview (34:59). Dr. Sprinkle reflects on the foundational chapters, how to have a healthy disagreement and the foundation for the Bible's view of marriage (40:06). They hone in on two conversations: could Paul have known about sexual orientation and why some people think the evangelical view is dangerous (48:19).    NOTE: We've launched our summer campaign. As a 100-percent donor-supported ministry nonprofit, we rely on believers like you to give toward our calling “to equip the saints for the work of ministry” (Eph. 4:12).

The story of Hosea is extreme, but it expresses of God's limitless love for you. God asked the prophet Hosea to do something scandalous, unbelievable, and even dangerous to reveal the good news that God passionately cares for you.

We continue our series in Joshua, which details God's faithfulness to his promises, as he brings Israel into their inheritance in the land of Canaan. In chapter 2, the story shifts to an unlikely heroine, a Canaanite prostitute named Rahab, who demonstrates a surprising faith and receives God's scandalous grace. Rahab reminds us that no one is too far for God to reach, redeem, and use for his good purposes.

In this sermon, guest speaker Lance Witt challenges your faith with thought-provoking questions urging graciousness in a divided world. Learn from King David's kindness towards Mephibosheth and reflect on your own actions. Speak gracious words and embrace God's radical grace.

Diving for Gomers. In this episode, we have a much-needed conversation about slavery to sin, Ezekiel's whore metaphor for God's relationship with his people, and why it's important that Christians not shy away from difficult conversations about how God describes sin and grace in the Bible.

Stories Jesus Told - St. Mark Houston

Jonah 4Jonah 3:10 - 4:11 // How can God be a God of mercy and justice at the same time?After God commands the fish to spit Jonah out on to dry land, Jonah reluctantly goes to Nineveh. As a Hebrew Israelite, currently experiencing the boot of the Assyrian empire, walking into Nineveh was a dangerous and life-threatening thing for Jonah to do, and yet he finally went - and began preaching a terrible sermon. Jonah wanted to see God's justice, and preached a bare-bones message of repentance with no hope of grace and mercy for Ninevah. But even through Jonah's message was weak, God worked miraculously in the hearts of everyone in Nineveh. From the king to the citizens, the city repents and puts their faith in the God of Jonah in the hope of receiving mercy from God. In Christ, we do not simply have hope that God will show mercy towards us - we have a guaranteed promise that because Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, that there is no longer any condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!Our mission is to declare the gospel with our words and display the gospel with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.

SCANDALOUS GRACE Peter's Undoing 2.12.23 Mark 1:16-17 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon (Peter) and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him. John 21:15-19 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” The most significant moments of growth and discipleship in our lives are often surrounded by brokenness and sifting. Peter's undoing would become the catalyst for his future calling and ministry.

Scandalous Grace - The Woman at The Well John 4:1-30 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. 4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. 7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” 16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” 17 “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” 19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” 25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” 27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?” 28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him. John 4:39-42 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers. 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.” 1. Invitation There is no cultural barrier or distance too far for God to find you and invite you into true life. John 7:37-39 37 On the last and greatest day of the festival,Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. 2. Revelation So often we tangle up and reorder our desires in such a way that Jesus has to confront the false wells in order to expose our need for living water. It's not about where you are coming from or what you have done on the road to get you there. The only thing that matters is your response when you come face to face with Jesus. 3. Proclamation The scandalous grace of Jesus and unexpected inclusion of one woman was the spark that lit the flame of revival in a whole town.
