The next sermon in our summer series is by John MacArthur from Shepherd's Conference 2018 at Grace Community Church. In this message, he addresses the need to not only preach the gospel, but to also guard it with courage and boldness in a world full of false doctrines that try to add works to salvation. True salvation is only by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.For more information on Shepherd's Conference or to hear more messages from the conference, visit https://shepherdsconference.org

This is week five of our summer sermon series on Heaven called "The Truth About Heaven (Our Real Home)", explore the awe-inspiring vision of the New Jerusalem from Revelation 21, a city radiating God's glory and serving as the eternal home for believers.

The next sermon in our summer series is by Paul Washer from the 2021 Fellowship Conference in Texas. In this message, Paul Washer reminds us that pastors are people too and will often study and preach on the very issues they are wrestling through in their own souls. No matter how perfect someone looks on the outside, we all sin and need to repent. In addition to addressing functional perfectionism, Washer also turns to Scripture to provide four keys to spiritual growth.For more information on the Fellowship Conference or to hear more messages from the conference, visit https://illbehonest.com/fellowship/

The next sermon in our summer series is by H.B. Charles on the sufficiency of Scripture from Shepherd's Conference 2022 at Grace Community Church. Many Christians would rightly say they believe the Bible is the Word of God and is not a book full of errors, but do we live like it's “enough” and trust it as “enough” for life, decisions, and living out God's will for our lives? For more information on Shepherd's Conference or to hear more messages from the conference, visit https://shepherdsconference.org/

The second sermon in our five-week summer series is by Voddie Baucham. In this message, he delivers truth that is sorely needed in today's world and covers the topics of manhood, womanhood, and God's glorious design.

Summer Sermon Series: Hebrews - Week 3

Welcome to the Compassion City Church podcast, and we are so thankful you're here! This is week one of our summer sermon series on Heaven called "The Truth About Heaven (Our Real Home)", and this message is delving into the rich symbolism of Jewish wedding traditions, where we uncover the beautiful analogy of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, as described in Revelation 19:7-9. This biblical teaching illustrates the betrothal and preparation period, mirroring the Church's current state as we await the return of Jesus, our bridegroom. The Marriage Supper signifies the consummation of the relationship between Christ and His followers, marked by joy and the fulfillment of God's promise. As believers, we are called to live a life of righteousness, actively preparing for this event by inviting others to partake in the joy of salvation and celebrating our faith in anticipation of the ultimate union with Christ.We are so thankful for all the support so far in this step into the world of podcasting, and for the opportunity to reach more people in our community...and beyond...with the truth and power of the gospel.We wholeheartedly believe we are living in a time where being a part of a faith-filled community and close to Jesus is more important than it's ever been (even though it's ALWAYS been important), and we hope you find that community, either with us, or with another body of believers in a local church.If you would like to follow along with this message in the YouVersion Bible App, here is the link with the scriptures, points, and a place to take notes, so you can take your studying to the next level!https://www.bible.com/events/49288770Hosted by Ausha.

In this first sermon of our summer series, Austin Duncan helps us see how the right truth can still be delivered the wrong way, and at the wrong time! With wisdom from the book of Job, we'll learn lessons about counseling others with discernment, gentleness, and truth. Biblical counseling is an important part of Christian discipleship, but we need to make sure we don't pull a “Zophar” (Job 11).

In the second installment of our Summer Sermon Series, Pastor Michelle explores the the idea of needing others. Our society has conditioned us to believe that being able to 'handle things ourselves' is what makes us strong. God, however, teaches us to think differently. There is more strength in community, in helping each other, indeed on relying on each other.

Summer Sermon Series

Today I am sharing one of my last messages for our Summer Sermon Series.  We will be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week. Thanks for switching gears a bit to allow us at The Parable Podcast a little space to enjoy these last few days with our kids before school starts. This message was a previous message I shared at our home church of West Ridge.  I hope you enjoy this message today and it encourages you wherever you are.Message Notes“Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.” Exodus 22:22Tamar harbored deep resentment toward her father-in-law because she knew by this time that Shelah had grown up, but she had not been given to him in marriage as Judah had promised. Genesis 38:1413… Tamar learned that her father-in-law would be coming to Timnah to shear his sheep, 14 she took off her widow's clothes, put on a veil to conceal her true identity, and sat down at the entrance to Enaim along the road to Timnah. … 15 When Judah passed by and saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had her face covered. 16 He decided to proposition her. Genesis 38:13-16It was the owner of these items who made me pregnant. Please, take a close look and tell me whose personal seal, cord, and walking stick these are. Genesis 38:25“Jesus: Let the first stone be thrown by the one among you who has not sinned." John 8:11 1.Deny, Deny, Deny 2.Shifting Blame3.Own up to it“Tamar is more righteous than him”A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows. - Psalm 68:5“Certainly the faithful love of the LORD hasn't ended; certainly God's compassion isn't through! Lamentations 3:22   God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 5:8  Reflection Questions1. Journal about a time that seemed so obscure and out of whack in your life and looking back now you can see God's hand at work for a certain reason in your life?2. A prayer for yourself this week:God thank you that I can be saved by your unconditional Grace. I believe you love me more than I can comprehend. God thank you for sending your son Jesus so he could die for me. I lay everything at your feet and give my life to you. All I can say is thank you.

As they walked, Jesus wept; and everyone noticed how much Jesus must have loved Lazarus. John 11:33-36Sympathy is when someone is going through something and you comfort or support them.  Empathy is more than just acknowledgment, it is when we can put ourselves in someone else's shoes or we have experienced a similar situation.  We need to empathize according to their needs, not what you think they need.” Danielle Coke | @ohhappydani"I Can't Carry It For You, But I Can Carry You!" – Sam Gamgee , Lord of the Rings, Return of the KingWays to be more empathetic:1. Proximity 2. Asking 1 more question  “tell me more.”  3. Share emotionThen Jesus, who was intensely troubled by all of this, approached the tomb—a small cave covered by a massive stone. Remember, I told you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God. They removed the stone, and Jesus lifted His eyes toward heaven. Father, I am grateful that You have heard Me.  I know that You are always listening, but I proclaim it loudly so that everyone here will believe You have sent Me. After these words, He called out in a thunderous voice. Lazarus, come out! Then, the man who was dead walked out of his tomb bound from head to toe in a burial shroud.

This message was a previous message I shared at our home church of West Ridge.  I hope you enjoy this message today and it encourages you wherever you are.Message NotesIn her deep anguish, Hannah prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly. 1 Samuel 1:10“LORD Almighty, if you will only look on your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life...” 1 Samuel 1:11 “Just because we're Christians, doesn't mean we're healthy. In the same way that our bodies can fail us physically, our minds can do the same – it's the reality of a broken world. Mental and emotional health issues still happen for those of us that call ourselves Christians." - Counselor Deborah FiletaAs she prayed silently before the Eternal One, the priest Eli watched her mouth: Hannah's lips were moving, but since she was praying silently, he could not hear her words. So Eli thought she was drunk. 1 Samuel 1:12-13“just a woman with a wounded spirit. I have been pouring out the pain in my soul before the Eternal One. 16 Please don't consider your servant some worthless woman just because I have been speaking for so long out of worry and exasperation. 1 Samuel 1:15-16What is that thorn for you?“Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.” 1 Samuel 1:17"we can have confidence in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us." 1 John 5:14   “My heart rejoices in the LORD.

Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” 49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house.” 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them. 51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:43-52  As we get to a place of parenting our parents, if honor, respect, and true authority are there, your return on investment is going to be tenfold. Reflection Questions1.
