Mark 6:30-56 // Nathan MillerThis sermon examines Jesus' role as the true shepherd by looking at several key events. We'll see how the feeding of the 5,000 mirrors the care described in Psalm 23, noting the green grass, water, guidance, and provision. We also explore the disciples' fear when Jesus walks on water and how he calms them. Finally, we see Jesus' compassion as he heals many who simply touch his garment. Join us as we consider how these stories reveal Jesus' care for us, even when our faith falters.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49408766PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new25.03.30

Interview with the Rev. Terry Culbertson, director of spiritual care

Do you need provisions today? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Remember, David runs to Nob, where the Tabernacle is located, and speaks with Ahimelech, the priest. Today, he asks Ahimelech for something interesting. Listen to 1 Samuel 21:8-9: Then David said to Ahimelech, “Then have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.” And the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it, for there is none but that here.” And David said, “There is none like that; give it to me.” — 1 Samuel 21:8-9 God's church is the place to find spiritual provision. David runs to the Tabernacle because he needs provisions. The Priest has no problem giving David this provision because he understands it was God's provision for David to begin with. God gave David the sword to slay Goliath, and Ahimelech understood this. This trophy was merely on loan, kept in the Lord's house for safekeeping. He understood that God was the owner and he was a mere steward of the things of God. The church should always be a place for us to find provision. Not just natural provisions (like bread and weapons) but a place for spiritual provisions. And why? Because they're God's provisions, to begin with. God is the provider of all provisions, both natural and spiritual. And we should freely give them because they were freely given to us. The church should be a place where humanity finds the spiritual provisions they need. The greatest of these needs is salvation. A provision you need that you cannot earn, for which God paid and freely gives to you. If you need his salvation, seek it; he provides it to all who call on his name and surrender to him. God, we surrender to you. We need your provision of your salvation. Amen. #GodsProvision, #SpiritualNeeds, #ChurchCommunity Ask This: Where in your life do you need to trust God more for His spiritual or physical provision, and how can the church support you in meeting that need? What provisions has God already given you that you might be holding onto too tightly rather than using them to serve others as a steward of His blessings? Do This: God provides salvation. Run to his house. Pray This: Lord, I acknowledge that all I have comes from You, and I trust You to meet my every need. Help me to rely on Your provision and use what You've given me to bless others in Your name. Amen. Play This: God Is Able.

Did you know that Gen Z has unique spiritual needs? Every generation does! Our challenge as Christians is to try and meet those needs.   Let's look at all the challenges that Gen Z faces. For instance, they face information overload and skepticism toward institutions. They are constantly bombarded with information and are often wary of traditional systems like government, education, and even the church.  Let's commit to making a real difference in the lives of today's youth by focusing on their spiritual hunger and offering them the support they need to thrive. Together, we can build a vibrant and inclusive faith community that welcomes and nurtures every generation. As a church, it's crucial for us to rise to the occasion and provide the kind of support that truly addresses these needs. Check out this message from Pastor Cory Daniels on how together, we can work to meet the spiritual needs of GenZ. #LiquidChurch #NextGen #GenZ

When the law falls heavy on those tasked with upholding it, what becomes of their hearts and minds? Jeremy Wade, a former Seattle police officer and now the guiding force behind Mission First Alliance, opens up about his transition from the front lines of law enforcement to leading an organization that heals and supports the spiritual needs of first responders. His experiences during Seattle's most volatile periods shine a light on the human side of the badge, exploring the toll that high-profile incidents and evolving department protocols take on those who serve.Policing isn't just about enforcing the law; it involves navigating a sea of policy changes, public perception, and personal trauma. Jeremy weighs in on the impact Department of Justice oversight has on officers and communities alike, dissecting the narratives of crime spikes and the struggle to maintain a robust police force. Under his perceptive gaze, we learn about the pivotal role sergeants play in morale and the support systems necessary for officers to thrive amid adversity.In our unguarded conversation with Jeremy, his transition from the force to faith-centered leadership embodies the epitome of servant leadership. The establishment of Mission First Alliance is not just the chronicle of one man's calling but a testament to the power of aligning passion with purpose. As the Alliance garners national recognition for addressing the spiritual void in first responders' lives, we're reminded that sometimes, the most profound leadership lessons are gleaned from ancient scriptures, pointing us back to the timeless wisdom of Jesus Christ.Join Our Tribe of Courageous Leaders: Get The BookGet Weekly Articles by Travis YatesJoin Us At Our WebsiteGet Our 'Courageous Leadership' TrainingJoin The Courageous Police Leadership Alliance

“Who do YOU say that I am?” Jesus asks this powerful question to His disciples in Matthew 16. It is the most important question any of us is called to answer - and make no mistake. We are all to answer it.  The question unpacks a lot about who we are, and how we define our lives. We do not get to tell Jesus who He is -only acknowledge it. But He defines us. That is true freedom.  Stephanie shares, "He doesn't need to know who he is to you. And he surely doesn't need us to tell him who he is. So, How do you feel, knowing he is actively seeking out your very own personal answer? Does it feel like it's a quiz? Is this a test of your theology? Is this a test of your bible knowledge or your relationship with Him? Is this a test you may fail? Or could it be more like an invitation to unearth one of the most meaningful treasures in the world?" Jesus told a parable one day. Matthew records it just a few paragraphs before this question, in chapter 13. Here is what Jesus says. “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.” Our understanding of Jesus' identity is like that treasure. It will change our lives. Let's go back to the context in the original text. First he asked what others were saying about him. Again, obviously he knew. He wasn't seeking information. He was seeking relationship – as always. Being Jewish through and through, he asks questions to enter into relationship, into dialogue. Who do others say He is? The disciples can answer this one easily, there is nothing personal. And the answer is rather positive, it tells us about the people's perception of who Jesus was at that point in his ministry. But you can quickly tell, this is not Jesus' goal. He is only getting started. Then he asks the real question – the other one was just a primer. Who do YOU say that I am? Now that is completely different. Now they are in the spotlight. Now it's their turn. Who we understand Jesus to be, determines who we are. Please hear this. Knowing who Jesus is, will determine the course of your life on earth, in heaven, and every moment spent here and there. Knowing who Jesus is tells you who you are. Jesus' identity defines your identity – and this cannot be said of any one else. He alone claims this level of power, authority, and utter allegiance. Who your kids are doesn't determine who you are. Who your parents or husband or best friend is, doesn't determine who you are. Your enemies or your friends or your colleagues or your neighbors or your boss don't define you. Jesus defines you. Where you were born, where you live, your ethnicity or your nationality, your income or your health, your size or your looks – these don't define you. Jesus defines you. You don't define yourself. If you are His disciple, then you have effectively renounced the right to define yourself. It means you don't get to choose the criteria that define you. None of the above. Jesus defines you. This is truly the most freeing thing anyone can tell you. Who Jesus is defines who you are, because you are IN Christ. You cannot be apart from Him. That is the whole purpose of relationship. If Jesus is truly the King of all kings, and the God of the universe who can hold everything you can see and touch and feel, and everything you can't, just by the power of His word, then being defined by Him is the most glorious thing and the highest possible calling. It is not reductive. It is enlarging. It is not confining. It is freeing. It is not limiting. It is boundless. You are who you are, because Jesus is who He is. And who He is to you, determines who you are. Ground yourself in Him. The greatest quest you can ever embark on is to take Him at His word when he promises to make Himself your greatest treasure and reward. Make sure to listen to get all the treasures and nuggets of wisdom from this episode. In this series, Stephanie takes us deep in Scripture through three powerful Greek words today. God is inviting you to capture your imagination, heart, soul and spirit through a deeper longing for Him. It is an intellectual search, a deep desire for Him, and also a need of our body. We will connect the dots and find that Jesus gives us the blueprint to answer this question the way the Father would invite us to. Let's embrace Jesus' invitation to ask, seek and knock – only to receive, find and have the door be opened.

“What do you want?” Jesus asks this powerful question on several occasions. What do YOU want? If Jesus asked you this, how would you answer? How would you feel? In the Greek and Hebrew, to “want” is a multifaceted word that speaks to the heart, the mind and the body. In Psalm 23 when we read, The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want” it means I am made whole, complete, so that I have no more need or unmet longing. It is the state of heaven – and, occasionally, heaven on earth. “What do you want?” Jesus asks. Stephanie takes us deep in Scripture through three powerful Greek words today. God is inviting you to capture your imagination, heart, soul and spirit through a deeper longing for Him. It is an intellectual search, a deep desire for Him, and also a need of our body. We will connect the dots and find that Jesus gives us the blueprint to answer this question the way the Father would invite us to. Let's embrace Jesus' invitation to ask, seek and knock – only to receive, find and have the door be opened. It is the same trio of Greek words, and it will inspire us to answer His question in the way that will bring us delight, for His glory. Support us!
