Serving Jesus on God’s mission sometimes requires sacrifice. Esther risked her life for her people. Join us as we look at Esther’s sacrifice and ponder what God might require of us.

Acts 9:32-43 Introduction Acts is full of excitement Sometimes we feel like Christian life should be this constant high energy pursuit to change the world That's just exhausting Luke is showing us how Gospel spread not what daily life of believer is like In midst of the excitement & amazing are glimpses…

Today we conclude our week-long look at what it means to entrust our children to God. To entrust our children to God is to completely entrust our children to God! While yes, we have been given the aforementioned responsibilities to tend, teach, and train, we cannot drag, push, or pull our kids screaming and kicking into the Kingdom of God. There is no guarantee that we will see the results that we want, in the way that we want, or in the time that we want. No, “salvation belongs to the Lord!” It is only the Holy Spirit, working in His way and His time, who will call our children to faith. We need to constantly remind ourselves of what I heard R.C. Sproul say on many occasions: “God has entrusted the ministry of the Word to us, not its results.” Our high calling is to be faithful and obedient. . . and to leave the rest up to God. Let me remind you once again, that there is no higher parental calling or privilege than to focus your time, energy, and prayers on leading your kids to love and serve Jesus.

Pastor Ricky Gravley- A sermon preached Sunday Evening, on January 12, 2025.

The Holy Spirit invites us to fully surrender everything into the hands of Jesus. Many will not make this decision and end up in hell, don't be deceived dear one.

Jesus addresses pride in his disciples and encourages and instructs them to serve in his kingdom

The Transformative Power of Serving Jesus Christ • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org Serving Jesus Christ is a life-changing commitment that brings profound transformation and abundant blessings. Understanding what happens when we serve Him is essential for living a purposeful and fulfilling Christian life. Today, we will explore ten powerful scriptures that reveal the blessings, challenges, and ultimate rewards of serving Jesus Christ. Matthew 16:24-25 (NKJV): "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.'* John 12:26 (NKJV): "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor."* Galatians 2:20 (NKJV): "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."* Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV): "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."* Philippians 2:5-7 (NKJV): "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men." Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV): "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Matthew 25:21 (NKJV): "His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'"* 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV): "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." Ephesians 6:7-8 (NKJV): "With goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free."* Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV): "For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister." Serving Jesus Christ is a journey of transformation, sacrifice, and abundant blessing. It requires denying ourselves, embracing humility, and faithfully following Him. The scriptures remind us that our service is never in vain and is richly rewarded by the Lord. Let us commit to serving Him wholeheartedly, knowing that He honors and rewards our faithfulness. May we find joy, purpose, and fulfillment in our service to Jesus Christ, for His glory and the advancement of His kingdom. Amen.

When our desires align with God's desires, and we act on them, we will have lasting joy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-john-van-gorkom/support

“Conformed vs Transformed”            Romans 12:2 Mark 1:16-20, Romans 8:29When we're just going through the motions spiritually, we inevitably begin to conform to the patterns of this world rather than seeking to be transformed and conformed more and more into the likeness of Christ. It's about becoming like Jesus.                                                                                                                 “Good Deeds vs. Serving Jesus” James 2:14-18, Matthew 23:27, Hebrew 3:6, Ephesians 2:8-10When we're just going through the motions spiritually, we may cease to serve God, or we may continue to serve, but since what we're doing is no longer done by faith, these good deeds fall short of pleasing God and the glory of seeking to build His kingdom. It's about building Jesus' Kingdom._________________________________________________Going Through the Motions (Tent Series)Our hope is to have vibrant and alive faith. Yet, try as we might, it's easy to end up going through the motions in our spiritual lives.  Sometimes, without even realizing it, we can slip into living our spiritual lives on autopilot, falling into tradition and habit, doing what we think we ought to do, what others expect from us, or simply trying to appease God rather than to really know and love Him. With this series, we'll seek to look at some of the foundational concepts of faith with fresh eyes and open hearts to avoid ending up just going through the motions.Orchard Community Church8180 Telephone RdVentura CA 93004www.OrchardVentura.orgContact us at Info@OrchardVentura.orgOrchard's Streaming and Song Select CCLI# 160190

Jul. 27 & 28, 2024 - 6 Essentials For Serving Jesus Pastor Ed Taylor Acts 20:13-24 | Study #24480 ACTS

In the early 1800s, Elizabeth Fry was appalled by the conditions in a London women’s prison. Women and their children were crowded together and made to sleep on the cold stone floors. Although they weren’t given bedding, a tap flowed with gin. For years, she visited the prison and ushered in change by providing clothes, opening a school, and teaching the Bible. But many saw her biggest influence as her loving presence and clear messages of hope. In her actions she followed Jesus’ invitation to serve those in need. For instance, while on the Mount of Olives, Jesus shared several stories about the end of the age, including one about the welcome of “the righteous to eternal life” (Matthew 25:46). In it the King tells the righteous people that they gave Him something to drink, invited Him in, and visited Him in prison (vv. 35–36). When they couldn’t recall doing so, the King responds: “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (v. 40). What a wonder that when we serve others with the help of the Holy Spirit, we serve Jesus! We can follow Elizabeth Fry’s example, and we can also serve from home, such as through intercessory prayer or writing letters. Jesus welcomes us to love Him as we use our spiritual gifts and talents to assist others.

Verse by verse study through the book of John Chapter Twelve and Verse Two

Loving the Ministry The Importance of Good Examples 1 Timothy 4:1-14 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things. Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers. I. A Good Example Warns Against Falling Away II. A good Example Creates An Understanding of the Motivation III.

Introduction Luke 9:23 Desire: “if anyone wishes to come after me” John 6:58-59, 66-69 – Many did not want to follow Jesus because of what…

We were created to worship our Creator, and our worship does not find its fulfillment in anything other than Jesus. Acts of worship can be costly. They can cost us time, money, and other resources, but these sacrifices fulfill the definition of worship: to give all of yourself for all of Jesus. 3 examples of acts of worship: 1.) Serving Jesus is an act of worship. 2.) Sitting with Jesus is an act of worship. 3.) Sacrificing for Jesus is an act of worship. Join Pastor Chad Glover as he shares examples of these acts of worship in the Bible and how we can live them out daily. ● Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: / abundantlifels Instagram: / abundantlifels ● Be a part of the Great Commission: https://livingproof.co/irresistible/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
