Why do self-defense classes exist? Because we live in a world where danger is real and people need to be prepared.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, Elect Exiles, from 1 Peter. In this message, Paul unpacks what he calls “defensive, Christological thinking”—a mindset rooted in Christ that equips us to face suffering, resist temptation, and live in light of coming judgment and eternity.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.
Once we become Christians we are only supposed to act like babies for so long until we begin to grow and mature. Too often Christians allow malice, envy and anger in their hearts that prevent them from growing. Baby Christians need to find someone to feed them pure milk, and then, letting go of certain sins in their heart, grow from there.

Pastor Kyle Young delivers a sermon from Acts 6, kicking off our series "Summer of the Spirit." Sermon originally recorded on July 13th, 2025.
Sermon preached by Andrea Reinhardt at The Table's worship service on July 13, 2025 (Fifth Sunday after Pentecost)
“If I Be Lifted” by Dr. Bobby Allen, centers on the profound meaning of Jesus's statement in John 12:32, emphasizing that His elevation, particularly on the cross, serves to draw all people to Himself. The sermon explores the prophetic nature of Jesus's crucifixion, highlighting it as a divinely orchestrated act of redemption, not merely an act of suffering. It also addresses the purpose behind this lifting, explaining that when Jesus is exalted, hearts are drawn, chains are broken, and reconciliation occurs. Finally, the text stresses the ongoing call for believers to "lift" Jesus through worship, witness, and obedience, asserting that this act of exaltation leads to the drawing of "all men" and impacts eternity.

All throughout Scripture, you encounter stories that make you pause and say, “Only God.”Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul unpacks the birth and rescue of Moses and shows how, through ordinary people and circumstances, God accomplishes extraordinary things for his glory and the good of his people.To hear more from this Exodus series, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.
The Old Testament spoke of multiple temples that were built over different time periods used to worship the Lord and hold His presence. Now that through Christ we are offered salvation and relationship with God, our bodies become the temple of God where His Spirit resides. We must now walk through this dark world to bring light and rescue the lost.
For our final Talkback of the summer on July 9, we were excited to focus on a theology of worship and stewardship. Our lives are marked by the things we worship – for better or worse. One way we can assess whether we're rightly ordering our Christian life is by looking at how we steward our time, talents, and resources. For this gathering, we had a chance to hear from elders, pastors, and lay members about what it means to keep Christ at the center of it all. ABOUT TALKBACKSOur Talkbacks are great opportunities to see how our faith engages with the world around us. This summer, we're excited to have four evenings that discuss how the gospel changes how we think about race, politics, the world, and our stories.Each Talkback, we get a chance to hear from a speaker for about 45 minutes before spending about 45 minutes in a Q&A. We encourage you to come with questions! MORE INFOFor more info, visit rccbirmingham.com/talkbacks

Sermon by J Wesley Adcock All of These Things Are Against Me www.ihconvention.com
Lament Honestly. The “Sermon on the Plain” is noticeably more grounded than Matthew's version. Jesus here attends to the material condition of his followers' lives, and dares to speak the truth about that. He says God knows it's true, and has in mind a reversal of fortune that will honor the truth of their daily experience of lack.

Following Jesus’ challenging teaching in Matthew 10, Jesus answers a question from the disciples of John the Baptist and then speaks to the crowds about John the Baptist. Jesus’ words here teach us that he uniquely promises blessing to those who follow Him – who don’t stumble over Him because of His teachings.

Have you ever felt like life just isn't fair? Like you're stuck… waiting for something to change?In this week's message, Pastor Kevin challenges us to rethink what we believe about healing, fairness, God's will, and divine timing. We ask the hard questions:• What do we do when God doesn't move the way we expected?• What if it's not about the right time, place, or effort—but about God's presence?• And what happens when Jesus looks you in the eye and asks, “Do you want to be well?”This message is for anyone who's ever felt forgotten, overlooked, or stuck on the sidelines. If you've been “at the pool” and haven't seen your breakthrough yet, this word will encourage and challenge you._______________________________________________Today's Message Notes: http://bible.com/events/49460762Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143For more information on our campus, email us at searcy@newlifechurch.tv or visit newlifechurch.tv.

How can a sinful person be accepted by a holy God? Justification is a judicial act of God, in which He declares a sinner righteous, not because of the sinner's merit, but because of the righteousness of Christ. By God's grace, this righteousness is imputed to the sinner by faith alone in Jesus Christ. This justification, this Great Exchange, is only possible because the perfect life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Dan Jarms // Romans 11:33-36 Sermon notes
Josh Hussung preaches from Philippians 2. In Philippians 2, Paul emphasizes the importance of unity among believers. He teaches that true unity comes when the church adopts the mindset of Jesus—one of humility and selfless service, ultimately seen in His death on the cross. When local congregations reflect this same attitude by humbly serving one another, their unity brings glory to God and becomes a powerful witness to the transforming power of the Gospel. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

Prayer isn't just about asking — it's about aligning. In this message, we explore what it means to seek God's will over our own. Drawing from Matthew 6:10, we're reminded that true prayer begins with surrender: “Thy will be done.” Learn how to pray not for what you want, but for what He desires.
Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from our ongoing series in the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Benjer McVeigh leads us through one of the most familiar — and dangerously misunderstood — teachings of Jesus: the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). But before we tune out with a “been there, heard that” mindset, Benjer challenges us to slow down, lean in, and let the Word do surgery on our souls. What if we've misunderstood this parable all along? What if the point isn't about identifying who our neighbor is — but realizing we are the neighbor God has sent? This message begins by confronting the deceptively small definition of “neighbor” held by the expert in the law, a man who — like many of us — sought to justify himself by asking Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” But Jesus doesn't answer with a list of who qualifies. Instead, He flips the lawyer's question on its head and tells a story where the most unlikely character — a Samaritan, despised by Jews in that time — becomes the model of true neighborly love. As Benjer unpacks the cultural and religious background of the text, he reveals that the priest and Levite in the story weren't merely callous — they were likely busy with temple duties, constrained by religious expectations. Yet their roles, deeply tied to the law, couldn't produce the compassion needed in the moment. It is the Samaritan — the outsider, the one least expected — who sees, stops, and sacrifices. He is moved by compassion, not convenience. He loves with open hands, at great risk and great cost to himself. And this, Jesus says, is what it means to be a neighbor. The message digs deeper, applying this radical vision of love to our daily lives. Who have we disqualified from being our neighbor? Who have we labeled in such a way that excuses us from loving them? Whether it's someone we disagree with politically, someone whose lifestyle we don't understand, or someone we believe “deserves” the consequences they're facing — we are reminded that the teaching of Jesus leaves no room for exclusion. We don't get to decide who deserves love. We simply get to extend it, because Jesus first loved us. And the message gets personal. Benjer shares how a group of teenagers at church camp, willing to sit under the Word of God with seriousness and humility, stirred his own heart. Their willingness to listen, respond, and be transformed by Scripture became the catalyst for this week's call: to slow down, stop crossing to the other side of the road, and live as the kind of neighbor Jesus modeled. By the end, the parable turns into a mirror. It's not just a story about someone else. It's a story about us. And if we take it seriously — if we dare to pray the dangerous prayer, “God, who are you calling me to be a neighbor to today?” — we might discover that Jesus has already answered. He calls us not to love from a distance or with conditions, but to love incarnationally. To see, to stop, to bind up wounds, to take risks, to pay costs, to walk with the hurting until they heal. This is the call to become a people — and a church — marked by the extravagant compassion of Jesus. A church where no label can override the title “neighbor.” A church that reflects the Good Samaritan who saw us lying in the road, broken and far from hope — and didn't pass by. Instead, He stopped. He loved. And He gave everything.
Proverbs 2 Printable Outline: 7-13-25 Sermon audio: 7-13-25 Sermon video:
In this heartfelt sermon from Rev. Ryan Gawrych, the congregation is invited into the deep affection and Christ-centered joy the Apostle Paul expresses for the Philippians. Drawing from Philippians 1:3–11, Rev. Gawrych explores how gospel partnerships create lasting spiritual bonds marked by gratitude, prayer, and mutual encouragement. He emphasizes that Christian fellowship isn't merely social, but spiritual—rooted in our shared participation in the grace of God.Rev. Gawrych also unpacks Paul's confident prayer that God will complete the good work He began in His people. Through this lens, listeners are challenged to see themselves and others not as unfinished projects to be judged, but as beloved co-laborers in whom God is faithfully working. The sermon concludes with a call to pray for one another with affection, asking God to grow our love in knowledge and discernment so we may walk in holiness and bear fruit to the glory of Christ.
