This Sunday we appreciate the people in our church who give their gifts and time to help Asbury be the wonderful place it is. We get to hear from laity member Teresa Cunningham as she shares the message, “Can We Walk Like Jesus?” Scripture: Matthew 22:35-40; 28:18-20

In this passage, Jesus gives the church a vision of how we are called to co-labor with Him for the great harvest He is bringing into His church.   Scripture: Matthew 9:35-38

Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20Resources for a life of following Jesus, every day, everywhere, with everyone.

When Jesus said, “Behold, I am with you always,” He wasn't offering a farewell—He was giving a forever promise.In this message, Dr. Tito Sotolongo unpacks the final words of the Great Commission and shows how one small word—“Lo” or “Behold”—reveals the greatest source of power a believer can know: the presence of Christ Himself.God's presence is His promise, not a performance we feel through music or emotion. The Spirit doesn't need a soundtrack—He needs surrender.Discover how the Holy Spirit empowers us to PUSH UP in strength, PUSH IN to God's Word, and PUSH OUT with the gospel to a world that desperately needs Jesus.If you've ever felt tired, stuck, or burned out in your faith, this sermon will remind you that you don't push alone—the One with all power is pushing with you.Scripture: Matthew 28:16–20 (focus on verse 20b)

Ephesians 6:10-20THE BATTLE IS REAL, BUT IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINKFor our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12Your real enemy isn't your boss, your ex, or your circumstances—it's much more dangerous than that."We modern people are too materialistic to believe in spiritual warfare, yet too superstitious to deny that evil exists. We sense something is wrong but misidentify the enemy.The enemy wants you to fight the wrong battlesWe exhaust ourselves fighting people instead of praying.We blame circumstances instead of recognizing spiritual oppositionWe try self-help solutions for spiritual problems"You can't fight a spiritual battle with physical weapons."This is why all our cultural solutions—therapy, politics, education, technology—while good in themselves, never quite deliver the peace and transformation they promise. They're addressing symptoms, not the disease."You can't win a spiritual war with a worldly weapon."APPLICATION: Stop blaming people for problems that have spiritual roots.DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, PUT IT ON!13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:13Notice Paul doesn't say "forge your armor" or "earn your armor." He says, "Put on” God's armor. This is grace. Christianity isn't about making yourself strong enough for battle; it's about clothing yourself in Christ's strength.The Belt of Truth (v. 14a)“Truth isn't just something you believe—it's something that holds everything else together."Jesus Is the Truth, Put on the Gospel! His perfect life, Atoning death, and resurrectionThe Belt Holds the Armor TogetherThe Breastplate of Righteousness (v. 14b)Your heart is protected not by your goodness, but by His."This is not your righteousness. Put on Jesus' righteousness.Shoes of the Gospel of Peace (v. 15)You can't stand firm if you don't know where you stand."Roman soldiers wore special boots with hobnails for traction. The gospel gives us traction in slippery circumstances—we're stable because we know we're loved, forgiven, and secured by grace.You also need these to march. Can you follow your orders from the master?The Shield of Faith (v. 16)"Faith doesn't make the arrows disappear—it keeps them from destroying you."Flaming arrows" are doubts, temptations, accusationsDistractions from the main thingThe Helmet of Salvation (v. 17a)"What you think about your salvation determines how you live."Your head (your mind, your thoughts) must be protected) Rom 12:2Assurance of salvation keeps you from despair and pride.Without this helmet, every failure makes you think you've lost your salvation, and every success makes you think you've earned it. The helmet reminds you: you're saved by grace, kept by grace, and will be glorified by grace.The Sword of the Spirit (v. 17b)"The only offensive weapon God gives you is His Word."Jesus defeated Satan with Scripture (Matthew 4)In our culture, we think arguments, protests, and power moves change things. But God says His Word, spoken in the Spirit's power, is what advances His kingdom. We've traded the sword for pop psychology and cultural commentary—and wonder why we're losing ground.WE PUT IT ON THROUGH PRAYER"Wearing the armor isn't enough—you must stay connected to the Commander."Paul ends this armor passage not with "Now go fight!" but with "Pray constantly." Why? Because the armor isn't magic—it represents our relationship with Christ. Prayer is how we stay connected to the power source.Paul asks for prayer himself"If Paul needed prayer support, what makes you think you can fight alone?"Prayerless Christians are like soldiers who show up to battle but never talk to their commanding officer."4. IT MUST BE RECEIVED

The rich young ruler looked like he had it made. He's characterized by moral excellence and he's financially wealthy. He's got it so together that he even admits he doesn't have it all together—that there's still something he lacks. He isn't sure what it is. He's gotten to the top and realized, “I've almost made it.”  So he comes to Jesus and says, “I just need that one more step.” And Jesus gives him an outrageous, strong answer. Jesus tells him he's on a completely wrong road—that he's totally outside the kingdom of God. Unless we understand why the rich young ruler went away from Jesus grieved, we might be in danger of also being sent away. The rich young ruler went away grieving because 1) he talked to the real Jesus, 2) Jesus smashed two of his basic assumptions about how religion works, 3) Jesus got personal, and 4) he didn't understand treasure in heaven.

SCRIPTURE- Matthew 6:12“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”REFLECTION- Sr. KathleenMUSIC- "Perceptive" by Ravndala- "Taste and See" (Ps 34) by St. Francis de Sales Parish Choir, Ajax, ON- "2-Minute Prayer Background" by Harrison Dano- "Kyrie Eleison" by Dan Gibson's SolitudesNOTES-Forgiveness is not a feeling.  It's a choice.  And one Jesus tells us to do.It does not minimize or reduce the damage done to you.  It does not mean you need to be in a relationship with that person.It does not mean there will be no consequences for their actions.Forgiveness does mean you are letting them go to God, and in the Name of Jesus, who died for everyone's sins, you are forgiving them in His Name.  All of this is done in the context of prayer:1. Call to mind someone you need to forgive. Or God may bring someone to mind.2. What, specifically, did they do?  Specifics is very important, not generalizations.  For example, "they hurt me" is a generalization.  How exactly they hurt you, is the specific.  There may be a long list of behaviors you need to forgive them for, name them one by one, (you may want to write them down)  or it may be just one action. You don't want to re-live the offense, just name it   3. Then say aloud, or quietly:Lord Jesus, in YOUR NAME, I forgive Name, for name the offenses, and I bring them to the foot of your cross to deal with as you will. I release them of all my anger, bitterness, expectations, and any other negative feelings that keep me bound,  and I ask you to set me free.  AMEN.     PRAYER OF LETTING GOTo You do I belong, O God, into Your hands I surrender my life. Pour out Your Spirit upon me that I may love You perfectly, and serve You faithfully until my soul rests in You.

In this passage, we'll look at Jesus' compassion for our hurting world, his recognition of desperate faith, and his ultimate power over death itself as seen in the healings of Jairus' daughter, the bleeding woman, and three disabled men.   Scripture: Matthew 9:18-34

After he broke his promise to Jesus, Peter wept bitterly. Peter was an absolutely broken man in the profoundest possible way, and yet within weeks he was poised as the leader of a new movement, about to become one of the most influential leaders in the history of the world. What broke Peter like this, and then what restored him so quickly? The answer is the same: promises. Promises are the reason he was broken, and promises are the reason he was restored. And the case of Peter tells us more about the power of commitments than, I think, any other incident in the Scripture. Let's look at what Peter learned: 1) how promises make us, and 2) how we can make promises. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 12, 1995.

This week Pastor Jesse spoke about finding Joy in the power of repentance.   Main Points & Scripture: Matthew 4:17 2nd Samuel 11:2-5 Psalms 51:1 Mercy is when we do not get what we deserve! Grace is when we get what we do not deserve! Because God's love and mercy run deeper than your greatest failure, you can still repent! Psalm 51:3-4 In Davids confession, he recognizes: I know I have Sinned I know I sinned against God I know God is right to judge me Psalm 51:7-10 I have found JOY in the God of my salvation!   *This episode was recorded on 10/05/25

What does it really mean to be a peacemaker?In this sermon from our Grounded series, Pastor Jeremy Duncan unpacks Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”We'll explore: • The difference between peacekeeping (avoiding conflict) and peacemaking (creating transformation) • How Jesus' teaching on turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and walking the extra mile reveal a radical third way of nonviolent resistance • Why following Jesus invites us to courage, honesty, and reconciliation in our relationships, our communities, and our world

In English, the word Immanuel has only eight letters. Yet I tell you it is heavier than the heavens and the earth. In that one word, Immanuel, you have the most offensive and the most comforting, the most repulsive and the most attractive message the world has ever heard. It means “God with us.” Let's see how this message 1) is the most repulsive because it says Jesus Christ is God, and 2) is the most attractive because it says Jesus Christ is God with us.
