Memorial Baptist Church Jefferson City: Recent Episodes

memorialchurchjc

Memorial is a Gospel-Centered Church We believe that God places His people together in the context of a local body of believers (His church), not by accident, but for the Spirit-empowered purpose of glorifying Him through repenting and believing the Gospel of His son, Jesus Christ. Through His church we see His kingdom come and His will being done as He makes all creation right and new.

In all we do we seek to worship the Lord passionately, connect with each other authentically, grow to know the Lord deeply, and go and share the gospel boldly as One Body in Christ.

You shall not murder. Easy enough, right?

But Jesus doesn't stop at the act. He goes upstream - to the anger, the insult, the quiet contempt. And He stacks them, not because they're three levels of a grading system, but because they all come from the same root.

There's an English word for that root: contempt. Taking the judge's seat over another image bearer and declaring them worthless - with your hands, your words, or just your silence.

In this message, Pastor David traces three verdicts across the whole Bible - God's verdict, our verdict, and Christ's verdict - and shows that while Abel's blood cried out against Cain, Jesus' blood speaks a better word.

In this message:

The Hebrew rāṣaḥ - why "murder" is broader than premeditated killing
The two paths of Genesis: Cain's line and Seth's line, and where each one ends
What Dallas Willard says about contempt - and why it's more dangerous than anger
Matthew 5:21–24 - Jesus exposes the upstream root of murder in every heart
Three practices for followers of Jesus: get out of the judge's seat, see the image, move toward

Key Scriptures:
Exodus 20:13 • Genesis 1:26–27; 4:5–10; 9:5–6 • Matthew 5:21–24, 43–45; 11:28–30; 22:37–40; 26:28 • 1 John 3:15 • Romans 2:1; 8:1; 10:9–10 • Hebrews 12:24 • Ephesians 1:7 • John 3:16–18; 14:6; 20:31

We hear "honor" and think respect. But the Hebrew word is kavod — something that is weighted, heaped upon, heavy with significance.

That changes the whole commandment.

The fifth word is the hinge of the entire ten. The first four go up- how you relate to God. The last five go out -how you treat people. And right in the middle, bridging both directions, is this: honor your father and mother.

In this message, Pastor Nathan walks through what kavod actually means, why this is the only commandment that comes with a promise, how Jesus confronted the Pharisees' clever loophole around it, and what it means to honor a parent who wasn't honorable. Honest, theologically rich, and pastorally careful.

In this message:

The Hebrew kavod and what "honor" really means beyond respect
Why scholars call this the hinge between loving God and loving people
The Corban loophole Jesus exposes in Matthew 15 — and what it reveals about financial responsibility
Why Romans 13 and Titus 2 expand this command to all authority — and what that demands of leaders
What honoring a parent looks like when they weren't honorable to you

Key Scriptures:
Exodus 20:12 • Ephesians 6:1–4 • Matthew 15:1–9 • Romans 13:1–7 • Titus 2:1–8 • Proverbs 4 • Philippians 2:3

We are the most productive, connected, efficient, and exhausted people in history. We wear our busyness like a badge. We brag about how little we sleep. We're proud to break the one commandment we need most.

God built a rhythm into creation itself - work and rest, pointing to Him. But somewhere along the way, we kept the words and lost the melody. We have rest, PTO, vacation, self-care - but they send us back to our own goals and pleasures. That's not Sabbath. That's just the same song in a different key.

In this message, Pastor David walks through the fourth commandment in three movements: the rhythm God built, the melody we lost, and the Lord of the Sabbath - who stepped into His own song to become our rest.

In this message:

Why the fourth commandment is the only one that starts with "Remember" - and what that tells us
How God stitched Sabbath into all of creation: the day, the year, the Jubilee
Why refusing rest means someone always pays - and who that usually is
How Jesus healed, re-created, and set people free on the Sabbath - and what that reveals
Four beats for practicing Sabbath this week: stop, rest, delight, worship

Exodus 20:8–11 • Genesis 2:1–3, 15 • Deuteronomy 5:15 • Psalm 127:1–2 • Isaiah 58:13–14 • Mark 2:27–28; 3:1–6 • Luke 4:18–21; 13:10–17 • Matthew 11:28 • Ephesians 2:8–10

We've simplified it to: don't use God's name as a curse word.

But the Hebrew word isn't "take" - it's carry. And that changes everything.

When Moses built an altar in Exodus 17 and called it "The Lord is my banner," he was saying: God's name is what we carry into battle. Before the commandment was even given, Moses understood - the name isn't a word you say. It's a banner you bear, a life you live, a claim you carry everywhere you go.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through what it actually means to carry God's name in vain - flippantly, as a formula, to get others to do what you want, or by living a life that contradicts what you profess. And then lands on the harder question Jesus asks in Matthew 7: not whether you've said the right words, but whether He knows you.

In this message:

Why "take" is the wrong translation - and what "carry" changes
The sons of Sceva in Acts 19 - what happens when you use the name as a magic formula
The fine line between sharing what God prompted and projecting your opinion in His name
Matthew 7:21 - the people who prophesied and cast out demons Jesus says He never knew
Romans 10:9 - the difference between lip service and heart belief

Exodus 17:15; 20:7 • Acts 19:13–17 • Matthew 7:21–23 • Romans 10:9 • Colossians 1:9–14

Everybody came from a family. Some good. Some hard. Some you're still healing from.

Here's what the whole Bible keeps saying: family was God's idea first. And He has never stopped building one.

This Sunday, Pastor David brought the church together to celebrate kids and youth camp - and to show from Genesis to 1 Corinthians 12 that God has always been gathering His children. Kari (18 years in children's ministry) and Tisha (6 years leading youth) shared the vision and heartbeat of what's happening with the next generation. And a family in our church stood up and said what happens when a church actually lives this out - what it means to walk through something impossibly hard and not walk through it alone.

In this message:

The biblical flyover from Babel to Abraham - how God re-gathers what sin scatters
Why Judges 2:10 is the reason youth ministry exists - and why we refuse to be that generation
What 1 Corinthians 12 says about every member - including the youngest and the weakest
Tisha's four-word youth vision: head, heart, hands, and feet
Why your presence, your role, and your showing up matter more than you think

Key Scriptures:
Genesis 1:27–28; 12:3 • Deuteronomy 6:4–7 • Judges 2:10 • Mark 3:35 • John 1:12–13 • 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 • Ephesians 2:19; 3:14–15 • 1 John 3:1 • Colossians 2:6–7; 3:17

An idol doesn't have to be carved from wood or melted from gold. The most dangerous idol is a God made small enough to understand, control, and never be afraid of.

Israel stood trembling at Mount Sinai — fire, smoke, a trumpet blast shaking the whole camp. Then 40 days later, they made a calf. The same people. The same God. Now small enough to hold.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through what an idol actually is — including a Hebrew word used by Ezekiel that means something closer to a ball of poop — and then flips the whole conversation. Because the real question isn't just what you're worshipping. It's what you were made to be.

You were made to be God's image bearer. The Holy Spirit fills you so you can reflect His glory. You were never meant to diminish Him — you were made to display Him.

In this message:

Three Hebrew words for idol — and what they reveal about the heart behind the object
Why galal (Ezekiel's favorite word for idols) literally means a ball of dung
What the golden calf reveals about how we diminish God to something manageable
Why "God is love" can become an idol when we use it to edit out everything else
How Genesis 2, John 20, and the Great Commission are all the same story

Exodus 20:4–6; 32 • Genesis 1–2 • Zechariah 13:9 • John 14:16–17; 20:21–22 • Ephesians 2:10 • Matthew 28:18–20

Fire. Smoke. Thunder. A trumpet blast shaking the whole camp. And the first thing this mountain-shaking God says is not a command — it's a relationship.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt.

Rescue before requirement. Character before command. That's the shape of everything that follows — including the first commandment.

In this message, Pastor David walks through Exodus 20:1–3 in three movements: God's character as a Father who claims and rescues before He commands, the first commandment and what al-panai really means, and the fulfillment in Jesus Christ — who is the same voice from the burning bush, now shed in blood to rescue you from the one slavery no Pharaoh could reach.

In this message:

Why the first commandment is the floor everything else is built on
The Hebrew al-panai — four directions: before, beside, instead of, and against
Why God says "other gods" — and what the Bible actually says about whether they exist
The amnesia thread: Israel forgot, the Pharisees forgot, and we forget too
Why your sin, your shame, and your worst decision don't get to name you — only Jesus does

Key Scriptures:
Exodus 20:1–6 • Genesis 17 • Exodus 34:6 • Matthew 22:36–40 • John 8:31–34 • John 14:6 • Romans 5:8; 6:23; 10:9, 13

In the first 52 chapters of the Bible, God never gives a name. Then Moses asks — and everything changes.

I AM WHO I AM. Not a title. Not a proper noun. A verb. The only being in existence with the power and authority to completely self-identify.

In this message, Pastor Nathan walks through Exodus 3, the meaning behind Yahweh, and the moment Jesus stands in the temple and says — before Abraham was, I AM. The Jewish leaders picked up stones. They understood exactly what He was claiming.

And then Paul says: that name is now on you.

In this message:

Why God never named Himself to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, or even Enoch — and why He named Himself to Moses
The grammar behind Yahweh — and why Jehovah is actually a scribal workaround
Why Jesus saying "I AM" in John 8 caused people to pick up stones
How Peter's bold claim in Acts 4 connects directly to the burning bush
What it means that through adoption, you now bear the name of God

Every ancient culture had a creation story. In most of them, the gods are at war. Creation comes from violence. Humans are an afterthought.

Then Genesis opens. God speaks. No conflict. No chaos. He simply speaks - and calls it good.

This God is different. He speaks to His children, not as slaves, but with blessing. He gives boundaries not to cage them, but to keep them. And when they broke those boundaries anyway, He didn't go silent. He came Himself.

This is the opening message of our Ten Commandments series — and it begins where the commandments actually begin: with the character of the God who gave them.

In this message:

How Genesis 1 compares to every other ancient creation story - and why the difference matters
Why God's first words to humanity were a blessing, not a restriction
What the garden command reveals about the character of God as Father
How Jesus treated the Ten Words - and what He said they're really for
Why Jesus is not just the message of God, but the Word of God made flesh

Key Scriptures:
Deuteronomy 30:19–20 • Genesis 1–2 • Hebrews 1:1–2 • John 1:1, 14 • Matthew 22:37–40 • Galatians 2:21 • Jeremiah 31:33

When musk oxen are threatened, they don't scatter and fight alone. They form a tight, outward-facing circle — every animal protecting the one beside it. That's closer to what Paul had in mind in Ephesians 6 than anything Hollywood has given us.

Paul wasn't writing to lone soldiers. He was writing to a family- the church. And the armor he describes was never a private kit. It's God's own armor, worn together, piece locking into piece, shield overlapping shield.

In this final message of the Ephesians series, Pastor David walks through the full armor of God — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Spirit — and the vision of corporate prayer that follows it, closing out the letter on grace, peace, and love that never decays.

In this message:

Why every piece of armor belonged to God first - before it ever belonged to Rome
The belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, and gospel shoes — and what they mean for daily life
The Roman shield-wall (testudo) and why faith was never meant to be carried alone
Why the helmet of salvation defends the mind, not just the heart
How we are meant to be a family together- standing in battle as one in Christ

Key Scriptures:
Ephesians 6:10–24 • Isaiah 11:5; 52:7; 59:17 • Ephesians 1:2; 2:8–9, 14; 4:21 • Romans 12:2 • 1 Peter 5:8–9 • 1 Thessalonians 5:8 • John 14:6, 26

"There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan." — C.S. Lewis

Paul opens Ephesians 6 with a command: be strong. Not in yourself- in the Lord and in the strength of His might. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead is the power available to you right now.

But you need to know what you're up against.

In this message, Pastor David walks through three movements - the strength we need, the enemy we face, and the stand we make - and shows that the battle is real, the enemy is specific, and the ground has already been won in Jesus Christ.

In this message:

Why Paul's "finally" means "here's how you live from here on out"
The four postures of Ephesians: seated, walking, standing — and what they mean
Why the devil has titles but no name — and what that tells us
How the enemy works through people without making people the enemy
Why you're already in the evil day — and what standing firm actually looks like

Paul doesn't give us a code. He gives us wisdom.

In Ephesians 6:1–9, he addresses children, parents, slaves, and masters - not with an equation, but with a posture. A direction. A heart. And two words that sound similar but mean something very different: obey and honor.

One is for a season. One is for a lifetime.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy unpacks what it means to listen under your parents as a child - and what it means to give weight and value to them as you grow. He tells the story of his son Roman and the van. He tells the story of sneaking out to church in an Iowa winter in the back of a pickup truck. And he asks the question every person with complicated parents eventually has to answer: what do you do when honoring your parents and obeying God pull in different directions?

In this message:

The Greek distinction between obey (listen under) and honor (give weight and value)
Why Paul says obedience is just "common sense" - and why that matters
Why Jesus, Lord of Lords, was submissive to Mary and Joseph
What Proverbs says about the long-term fruit of honoring vs. scorning
Where the line is when parents ask you to go against God's word

We used to ask marriage to help us survive. Then to make us happy. Now we're asking it to complete us - without the time, investment, or foundation to carry that weight.

Paul wrote Ephesians 5:21–33 into a first-century Roman world where wives were property and household codes told everyone their place. What he said instead was a bomb detonating in that culture - and it still is.

In this message, Pastor David walks through three movements: Paul responds to the tension of his world and ours. Paul gives us a picture- the marriage dance. And then Paul pulls back the curtain on something most people miss entirely.

This passage was never just about marriage. It was always about the Bridegroom.

In this message:

Why Paul's word to husbands - love - had never appeared in a household code before
What submission and headship actually mean when you define them the way Paul does
The pastoral word on abuse - what this text does and does not say
Four pieces of marriage advice from Pastor David and Nikki
Why Genesis 2, not Genesis 3, is the foundation - and what the fall actually distorted

Key Scriptures: Ephesians 5:21–33 • Genesis 2–3 • Galatians 3:28 • Philippians 2:5–8 • 1 Corinthians 7:4 • Revelation 19 • Romans 3:23; 6:23; 10:9–10

Music is fascinating. Singing lowers cortisol, raises oxytocin, releases endorphins, and bonds strangers faster than any other group activity. God didn't invent singing for humans - He built it into the human body and wired it into every culture on earth.

And Paul says: when you are filled with the Spirit, you sing.

In Ephesians 5:19–21, Pastor David walks through what a Spirit-filled church actually sounds and looks like - four movements that are anything but random. A sound. An absolute. A name. An order.

And at the end of it all is this: when the church sings, gives thanks, and arranges itself in humility - we are not doing something small. We are rehearsing the future. Every Sunday. Every song. Every act of gratitude. Every moment of submission. We are practicing now what all creation will one day confess.

In this message:

Why God built singing into the human body before He ever commanded it
The horizontal and vertical directions of worship - and why Paul gives us both at once
Why Christian thanksgiving is not denial. It is defiance.
What hupotassō (submission) actually means - and why Jesus is its clearest definition

We live in the most entertained, most medicated, most connected moment in human history. And we are emptier than ever.

We reach for things to fill us. And they don't.

Paul saw this same pattern in Ephesus two thousand years ago - a city drunk on wine and the worship of Dionysus, chasing fullness in all the wrong places. And into that world he wrote: don't be drunk with wine. Be filled with the Spirit.

In this message, Pastor David walks through Ephesians 5:15–21 in three movements - the trajectory, the waste, and the foundation - and shows that the question was never about a line. It was always about who is in control of you.

In this message:

The ancient two-path wisdom tradition and why everyone is trajecting toward something
What kairos means — and why the wise person seizes moments instead of drifting through them
The Dionysus cult in Ephesus and why Paul's audience felt the word asōtia in their bones
Why the things we reach for to fill us — screens, substances, approval, work — hollow us out instead
What "be filled with the Spirit" actually means — and why it's reception, not self-effort

Key Scriptures: Ephesians 5:15–21 • Psalm 1 • John 6:40; 14:6 • Matthew 7:24–27 • 1 Corinthians 6:12 • 1 Peter 5:8 • Acts 4:12 • Romans 10:9–10

We live in a culture that worships sex. And honestly? So did Ephesus.

Temple prostitutes. Sensual parades. Fertility rituals. The city Paul was writing to wasn't so different from the billboards lining the highway today. And into that world, he writes: be imitators of God.

That's an impossible standard. And that's exactly the point.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through Ephesians 5:1–16 and does something most sermons on this topic don't do - he refuses to give you a line. Because this isn't about how close you can get to the edge. It's a heart issue. A worship issue.

What does it look like to imitate God in the way we treat our bodies, the words we speak, and the jokes we laugh at? And what does wisdom actually look like when the days are evil?

Why the church of Ephesus and our culture are not as different as we think
Two caveats that frame everything: no line-drawing, and this is about us - not them
What porneia actually means - and why it's bigger than most people think
Why crude joking degrades image-bearers of God (and why that matters)
What "no inheritance in the kingdom" means - and what it doesn't
How sanctification, struggle, and the gospel all fit together

Last week: put off the old self. Be renewed. Put on the new.

This week Paul gets specific. The new self has to show up somewhere - in your words, your anger, your hands, your forgiveness. It has to have a face.

In Ephesians 4:25–5:2, Paul gives a list. But this is not random moral advice. Every command is anchored to one controlling truth: we are members of one another. What you do in the body either builds it up or tears it down. And Paul drops two spiritual reality statements as bookends around the whole thing - give no foothold to the devil, and do not grieve the Holy Spirit.

There is no neutral act in community. Everything carries spiritual weight.

In this message, Pastor David walks through seven movements - from truth and lies, to anger and the foothold, to corrupt speech, to forgiveness - and shows what happens when the life of Jesus actually gets formed in a community of people.

In this message:

Why lying destroys the one thing a body runs on - trust
How unresolved anger becomes a beachhead for the enemy
Why Cain is the case study for Ephesians 4:27
The three tests for every word you speak
What forgiveness actually costs - and why the cross is the only place to find it

Key Scriptures: Ephesians 4:25–5:2 • Genesis 4:6–7 • Mark 3:5 • John 8:44; 11:33 • Matthew 5:21–26; 20:28 • James 1:20; 3 • John 13:35

Everything is technically there. Nothing is missing. But the order is completely wrong - and it changes everything.

That's the image Pastor David opens with. Socks over boots. And it's the perfect picture of what disordered desire actually does to a human soul.

Johnny Cash wrote "I Walk the Line" as a pledge to himself - play it straight, be faithful, hold the line. Then came the pills. The drinking. The unraveling. Turns out watching your own heart isn't enough. You cannot walk the line on your own.

In Ephesians 4:17–24, Paul traces what happens to a soul when desire gets inverted - from futility, to darkened understanding, to callousness, to insatiable craving for more. And then he shows the only way out: not reform, not self-improvement, not trying harder. Put off the old self. Be renewed. Put on the new through Christ alone!

You cannot fix what is corrupting at the core. You need transformation from outside yourself.

In this message:

Why desire itself is not the problem - the order is
The serpent's strategy in Genesis 3 and why nothing has changed
Paul's word for the Gentile mind: mataiotes - futility, vapor, breath
The insatiable craving that disordered desire always produces
Why "put on the new self" is not self-improvement - it's restoration to original design

We throw the word diversity around a lot. But what if we've been thinking about it all wrong?

In Ephesians 4:7–16, Paul picks up right where unity left off — and then pivots. He says: yes, we are one body. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. We're not just united. We're uniquely, individually equipped.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy traces the language of victory and spoils all the way from Psalm 68 through the Exodus to the cross — and shows how Jesus, having conquered sin and death, distributes the spoils of that victory as gifts of grace to His people. Not for our comfort. For the work of ministry.

Your gifts aren't an accident. They're a grace. And they're not just for you.

In this message:

Why biblical diversity looks nothing like corporate diversity
What "ministerial grace" means — and why it applies to everyone, not just pastors
How Christ's ascent and descent connect to the gifts He gives the church
Why fulfilling physical needs is the conduit to reaching the spiritual
How diversity of gifts is actually what produces unity in the body

What if the greatest threat to the church isn’t from the outside- but from within?

In Ephesians 4, Paul calls believers to “walk worthy” of their calling by maintaining unity in the Spirit. This message from Pastor Adam reveals why unity is not secondary- but essential to the life and mission of the church.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why unity carries weight in God’s eyes
✅ How Satan uses lies to divide the church from within
✅ What it means to “walk worthy” in everyday life
✅ How humility, patience, and love protect unity

How do you come to know something that is beyond knowing?

That's the question driving Ephesians 3:14–21. Paul kneels in a Roman prison and prays for believers to know the love of Christ - a love that surpasses knowledge. Not the kind of thing you think your way into. The kind of thing you receive your way into.

And at the center of it is one of the most intimate images in all of Scripture: Christ not as a guest who drops by, not as a landlord who checks in - but as someone who wants the deed. Who wants to move in. Permanently. And call it home.

C.S. Lewis pictured eternity as a country where the deeper you go, the bigger it gets - further up and further in, forever. That's exactly what Paul is praying for here. A love with no ceiling, no end.

Five movements in Paul's prayer:

1️⃣ The Posture - A prisoner kneels. Before a word is said, his body is already preaching.

2️⃣ The Problem -You need something you cannot generate yourself.

3️⃣ The Gift - Christ making His permanent home in you by the Spirit.

4️⃣ The Fullness - A love with four dimensions. You need the whole body to begin to see its size.

5️⃣ The Overflow - Resurrection power already at work, producing praise that outlasts history.

You'll discover:

What Paul's kneeling reveals about how he prays — and what it says about how we should
The Greek word katoikeō — what it means for Christ to "dwell" in you vs. just visit
The temple thread from Tabernacle to Pentecost to your own heart
Why C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle perfectly pictures what Paul describes in v.19
Why the love of Christ can't be fully known alone — and what that means for the church

Paul sits down to pray - and can't do it. He gets one sentence in and goes on the most theologically explosive detour in all of his letters. He can't help himself. What God has done in Christ is too staggering to skip past.

What stopped him? A mystery. Not the kind you solve with enough brains - the kind only God can reveal.

In Ephesians 3:1–13, Paul finally names it: Jews and Gentiles, insiders and outsiders, people who had no business being in the same room - made co-heirs, co-body, co-partakers of the same promise. Together. In Christ.

And here's what blows the roof off: that unity isn't just for us. Every time a divided people becomes one in Christ, the powers of darkness see it and know they've lost.

The church is God's cosmic billboard. And the secret is out.

In this message, Pastor David covers:

✅ What Paul means by "mystery" - and why no amount of human intelligence gets you there

✅ The arc from Babel to Babylon to the New Jerusalem - and where the church fits right now

✅ Three explosive Greek words Paul stacks in one verse: co-heirs, co-body, co-partakers

✅ Why your unity with other believers is a declaration of war on the powers of darkness

✅ What it means to approach God not nervously, but boldly - because of a finished work

You were far off. Now you are near.

Ephesians 2:11–22 is one of the most radical passages in the New Testament. Paul declares that the dividing wall — the hostility that separated Jew and Gentile, insider and outsider — has been torn down by the blood of Christ. And in its place, God is building something new: a temple not made of stone, but of people. His people. With Jesus as the cornerstone.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through what it means to be brought near — united with the faithful saints of every generation, sealed and adopted by God, and built together into a dwelling place for His Spirit.

If you've ever felt like an outsider, like your history disqualifies you, or like you don't belong — this passage is for you.

In this message:

✅ Why your past, your family, and your nation are not your ultimate identity

✅ How Christ's sacrifice unites believers across every generation — Old Testament saints included

✅ What it means that the veil was torn and the dividing wall came down

✅ Why the church is not a building — it's you, and the faithful gathered around you

✅ How to live boldly from a secure identity in Christ

Are you breathing but not really alive?

Paul opens Ephesians 2 with the most uncomfortable diagnosis: without Christ, we are the walking dead — not just sick, not just struggling, but spiritually dead. Cut off from the One who is life itself.

But then come two of the most hope-filled words in all of Scripture: But God.

In this message, Pastor David walks through Ephesians 2:1–10 and shows that the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead is the power that brings us from death to life - not by anything we do, but by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

You are not just saved FROM something. You are saved FOR something.

In this message:
✅ Why Paul calls the unredeemed "the walking dead" - and what that actually means
✅ The three forces pulling every person away from God: the world, the devil, and the flesh
✅ What "But God" changes for every human soul, including yours
✅ Why grace means you bring nothing - and get everything
✅ How your everyday work and creativity is part of God's restoration project

Because God has already blessed His people in Christ, Paul doesn’t move to pressure - he moves to prayer.

In Ephesians 1:15–23, Paul prays that the Father would give believers Spirit-given wisdom and revelation so they truly know their hope, their inheritance, and the immeasurable greatness of God’s power toward them - power proven in the risen and reigning Jesus, Head of the church.

In this message, Pastor David shows how Christian life is lived from grace, under Christ’s reign, and in dependence on the Spirit - not from anxiety, hype, or self-effort.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ The Father’s fellowship - prayer rooted in gratitude
✅ The Spirit’s sight - eyes of the heart opened
✅ The saints’ riches - hope and inheritance secured
✅ The Savior’s reign - Jesus exalted above every power
✅ Why Christ’s authority is exercised for the church

In Christ, we have redemption through His blood, forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance secured by the Holy Spirit.

In Ephesians 1:7–14, Paul unfolds a sweeping vision of salvation that began in eternity past and stretches into eternity future — all according to God’s wisdom and for the praise of His glory. We are redeemed, united, and sealed in Christ.

This passage reminds us that our story is not isolated — it is part of God’s larger redemptive story, fulfilled in Jesus and secured by the Spirit.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ What redemption truly means — forgiveness through Christ’s blood
✅ How Jesus stands at the center of God’s plan for all things
✅ Why salvation is rooted in God’s wisdom and sovereign purpose

Before the foundation of the world, God set His love on His people.

In Christ, we are blessed, chosen, adopted, and secured — not by our performance, but by His grace.

In Ephesians 1:3–6, Paul begins with praise, reminding believers that every spiritual blessing flows from being united to Jesus. Our adoption into God’s family reveals His sovereignty, love, and redemptive plan unfolding through Christ.

This passage anchors our identity: we belong to God, we are loved by God, and He will complete what He has begun in us.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why every spiritual blessing comes through Christ alone
✅ How God’s choosing reveals His love and sovereignty
✅ What adoption into God’s family really means
✅ Why assurance grows when we remember God’s work, not ours
✅ How praise naturally flows from knowing we are secure in Christ

Who really has power?
Who can be trusted with authority?
And what happens when Jesus enters a city built on rival names?

In Acts 19, the gospel confronts confusion, exposes counterfeit spirituality, topples borrowed authority, and provokes costly repentance. Pastor David walks us through five movements in the text:

1️⃣ Confusion — good but incomplete faith
2️⃣ True Authority — the Word of the Lord prevailing
3️⃣ Counterfeits — borrowed authority collapsing
4️⃣ Costly Revival — confession and renunciation
5️⃣ Cultural Collision — idols pushing back
6️⃣ The True Center — life in Jesus’ name alone

This passage reminds us that revival isn’t hype, formulas, or personalities — it’s when the Word of the Lord outgrows the rival names that used to run us.

🔥 You’ll discover:
✅ Why sincerity without surrender has no authority
✅ Why you can’t borrow faith or outsource allegiance
✅ How spiritual substitutes quietly replace Jesus
✅ Why idols always demand more and give less
✅ What it means to renounce rival names and follow Jesus fully

📖 Key Scriptures:

The book of Ephesians begins with some of the deepest Gospel doctrine in the New Testament and ends with some of the most practical instruction for Christian living.

This week, Pastor Jimmy opened our Ephesians series by showing how Paul writes to a church in a cultural crossroads- a place full of competing ideologies, pagan spirituality, and social tension- and equips them to live confidently for Christ through a clear understanding of the Gospel. Right doctrine leads to righteous living.

We also read the entire book of Ephesians aloud in service, reminding us that before this letter was ever dissected, outlined, or commented on - it was heard, received, and obeyed.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ How Ephesians divides into two movements: Doctrine (Ch. 1–3) & Life (Ch. 4–6)
✅ Why Gospel identity must come before Gospel obedience
✅ How God’s sovereignty, grace, and peace fuel confident Christian living
✅ Why the church must live differently from the world around it
✅ How to “walk worthy of the calling” with humility, gentleness, patience, and unity

📖 Key Themes in Ephesians:
Gospel • Sovereignty • Identity in Christ • Unity • Peace • Holiness

Guest Speaker Pastor Rob Pochek (MBC Team Leader for Prayer & Evangelism) brought a powerful message reminding us that every Christian has a story, and God intends to use it.

From John 9 and the healing of the man born blind, we learn that Jesus is on a mission to bring people to belief — and one of the greatest tools He gives us is our own testimony. If you love Jesus, you can talk about Him. Sharing your story joins Jesus in His mission.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why sharing your story aligns with Jesus’ mission
✅ How the blind man’s testimony shows the power of simplicity
✅ Why your story doesn’t require theological expertise — just honesty
✅ How God uses ordinary believers in everyday conversations
✅ Practical encouragement to talk to Jesus about people and to people about Jesus

Words are never neutral. What we speak- and what we sing- forms us.

From the opening pages of Scripture, God creates by His Word. GOD SPEAKS! Yet again and again, humanity rebels by rejecting His voice. In Jesus, the Word became flesh, fulfilled what we broke, and now- by the Spirit- dwells richly among us to form a new people.

In this message, Pastor David walks through the story of Scripture to show how God speaks, how we rebel, how Jesus fulfills, and how Christ now dwells in His church- forming us through redeemed speaking and redeemed singing.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why our words reveal what has been shaping our hearts over time
✅ How God relentlessly speaks life- even in the face of rebellion
✅ Why lasting change comes from formation, not moralism
✅ Five Christ-shaped ways of speaking: encouragement, confession, loving correction, prophecy, and restraint
✅ Why singing the Word anchors truth in our hearts and unites the church

Christmas has passed. The lights come down. The pace changes. Life resumes.
And the question lingers: Now what?

In 1 John 1–2, the apostle John reminds us that Jesus didn’t just come to be celebrated—He came to be followed. Jesus is Light and Life, given from the Father so that we may live in fellowship, joy, and honest obedience.

In this message, Pastor David walks us through what it means to follow the Light after Christmas—not drifting toward false lights, but walking honestly with Jesus in confession, community, and confident hope.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why Christianity begins with incarnation and revelation—not advice

Our culture often defines love as emotion, affirmation, or sentiment.
But Jesus defines love differently: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

In this Advent message, Pastor Nathan teaches from John 14 that true love for Jesus is not mental assent or spiritual feelings—but a life shaped by obedience, holiness, and submission to His Lordship. This kind of love is only possible because of the grace of God at work in us through Christ.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:

We live in a world filled with noise, conflict, fear, and distraction. But into that world Jesus came announcing something radical: Peace.

Not the fragile, temporary peace the world offers—
but peace with God,
peace within ourselves,
and peace with one another.

This week, Pastor Jimmy walks us through Scripture to show how the gospel brings reconciliation with God, how the Holy Spirit forms peace within us, and how believers are called to live peaceably with all.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why true peace begins with being reconciled to God through Christ
✅ How the Holy Spirit produces internal peace in anxious hearts
✅ Why peace with others requires forgiveness, humility, and reconciliation
✅ The difference between worldly peace and the peace Jesus gives

Our culture says joy is a feeling you chase or a vibe you create. But Advent reminds us: joy is a Person who came to us.

In this message, Pastor David teaches that biblical joy is being fully present with God in Jesus Christ and His people—rooted in love, sustained by the Spirit, strengthened through hope and trust, and defiant against isolation and fear.

From the angels’ announcement in Luke 2 to James’ call to “count it all joy” and Paul’s command to “rejoice in the Lord always,” we see that joy has a Source, joy has a Fight, and joy has a Path.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why joy is first announced as good news before it’s felt as a feeling
✅ How joy is rooted in the presence of Jesus, not perfect circumstances
✅ Why trials don’t cancel joy—they become the place joy is fought for
✅ A practical path from anxiety to peace in Philippians 4:4–7
✅ How to “rejoice in the Lord always” without faking it or denying pain

We live in a culture overflowing with stuff—but starving for peace.
Storage units, constant upgrades, credit-card debt, the hedonic treadmill… it all reveals something deeper: we want more, but it’s never enough.

Into that world, Jesus says,
“Watch out for greed. Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15)

This week, Pastor David exposes the Lie of Scarcity, reveals the Truth of the Father’s Abundance, and anchors us in the Hope of the Generous King—a King who became poor so that we might become rich in God.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why our culture is trapped in the “hedonic treadmill”
✅ How the scarcity story began in Genesis 3
✅ Why greed is a spiritual symptom, not a financial issue
✅ How Jesus frees us from anxiety, fear, and “bigger barn” living
✅ Why Advent begins with hope—because our King is generous

The world disciples us to crave more—more money, more status, more security.
But God calls His people to something radically different: contentment shaped by the character of Christ.

This week, Pastor Nathan teaches from 1 Timothy 6 and throughout Scripture that the Lord—not our job, not the government, not our hustle—is the true source of all provision. Because God is generous and wise, His people must be shrewd stewards and radically generous.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why Scripture commands BOTH fiscal wisdom and radical generosity
✅ How contentment frees us from envy, fear, and cultural captivity
✅ Why Jesus must define our economics—not politics, not preferences
✅ How generosity becomes evidence of the gospel transforming us
✅ Practical steps for budgeting, examining motives, and inviting accountability

True generosity doesn’t begin with guilt—it begins with grace.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy reminds us that generosity is the overflow of God’s unmerited favor. When we understand that every breath, gift, and resource comes from Him, giving becomes a joy, not a burden.

From 2 Corinthians 8–9, we see the Macedonian believers give with joy amid poverty because they first gave themselves to the Lord. Grace came down—and generosity flowed out.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why generosity begins with understanding grace, not obligation
✅ How “common grace” and “saving grace” shape our giving
✅ The difference between mercy and grace—and why both matter
✅ Why cheerful giving reveals the heart of Christ in us
✅ How to give wisely, freely, and joyfully within your means

When the family of God shows up, Jesus doesn’t just grow us—He sends us.

This message from Pastor David wraps up the Familified series by showing how those who show up, stay, and grow in Christ are called to go—as Spirit-empowered witnesses to the world.

We don’t go alone; we go together, filled with His presence, power, and purpose.

Light exposes what darkness tries to hide—and Jesus invites us out of hiding into healing.
In this message, Pastor David shows how the gospel moves us from Isolation → Invitation, Lies → Truth, Secrecy → Confession, and Spectators → Siblings through Christ’s cleansing blood and the practice of confession and prayer together.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why we hide (fear, shame, self-rescue) and how Jesus calls us into the light

We live in a world that’s crowded yet lonely—where fear, shame, individualism, and isolation fracture the human heart.

But in Christ, God doesn’t leave us in hiding—He forms us into a family that rejoices and weeps together.

In this message, Pastor David unpacks how the gospel frees us from individualism and isolation to live as one family in Jesus. You’ll see why real joy and real sorrow are meant to be shared, not shouldered alone.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why fear and shame keep us from authentic connection
✅ How confession and adoption in Christ heal isolation
✅ What it means to rejoice and weep together as God’s family

We live in a world that’s more connected than ever — and more alone than ever.
But into our chaos steps Jesus. He doesn’t just forgive sinners; He adopts sons and daughters.
He takes isolated lives and forms them into a household of love, joy, and peace in His name.

This message from Pastor David shows that God is a Family who makes family — a Father, Son, and Spirit drawing us home into His life of love.

In Mark 3:31–35, Jesus redefines family around Himself — not by bloodline but by faith and obedience.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:
✅ Why Jesus’ definition of family is radically different from the world’s
✅ How God brings order out of chaos through His presence and people
✅ What counterfeit communities can’t give you — and what Christ can

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover:

Fasting isn’t just self-denial—it’s spiritual warfare.

In this week’s message, Pastor Nathan unpacks Matthew 9:14–17 and Matthew 17:14–21 to show how fasting isn’t simply for self-improvement, but an active way believers resist the powers of darkness through Christ’s strength.

🔍 #Fasting #SpiritualWarfare #Matthew9 #Matthew17 #Discipleship #JesusIsEverything

When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He declared: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

In this message, Eric unpacks Matthew 4 to show how fasting teaches us to crucify the flesh and feast on Christ, the true Bread of Life. Fasting isn’t punishment—it’s pursuit. It’s letting go of control, resisting temptation, and finding our deepest satisfaction in Jesus.

✅ Why fasting starves the flesh but feeds the Spirit
✅ How Jesus modeled resisting temptation with God’s Word
✅ Why life is about more than food and drink—it points us to the Lord

What if fasting isn’t about conquering your body but opening your hands in submission and surrender?

This week’s sermon explores fasting not as a ritual for results but as a response to focus on Jesus. From Moses and Elijah to Jesus in the wilderness, fasting has always been about remembering God, releasing control, and hungering for the Bread of Life.

✅ The difference between fasting (food) and abstinence (distractions)—and why both matter
✅ How fasting helps us let go of control and re-focus on Jesus
✅ Why true fasting always leads to feasting on Christ, the Bread of Life.

Have you ever considered prayer as an act of love and war/resistance?

This week, Pastor David walks through Ephesians 3 and 6, showing how Paul begins with prayer for love and ends with prayer as warfare. We stand together as one body in Christ—rooted in His love, resisting the powers of darkness/evil, and declaring that Jesus is everything.

✅ How Paul calls the church to “stand firm” in Christ’s victory

What if rest wasn’t just about slowing down—but about worship and resistance?

🔵 How the “year of the Lord’s favor” points to freedom in Christ.

🔍 #SabbathRest #JoyInChrist #Isaiah58 #John15 #CompleteJoy #StopRestDelightWorship #GospelRhythms #InChristAlone

We live in a culture that celebrates busyness, praises production, and pushes us to keep going, but God offers something radically different: rest. Not just physical rest, but the deep soul rest found in Him.

From creation in Genesis to the promise in Hebrews 4, God built rest into the fabric of His world and invites us to trust Him enough to stop striving.

Jesus didn’t just teach about Sabbath—He is our Sabbath.

In this message, Pastor David explores the deep, transformative rhythm of Sabbath, not as a rule to follow but as a weekly invitation to Stop, Rest, Delight, and Worship. More than a break from work, Sabbath is a holy protest against the lies of busyness, productivity, and self-sufficiency—and a return to the truth that Jesus is Lord, and we are not.

📖 Key Scriptures:
Mark 2:23–3:6, Genesis 2:1–3, Exodus 20:8–11, Isaiah 58:13–14, Matthew 11:28–30, 1 Peter 2:24, John 14:6

🔥 You’ll hear:
✅ Why Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath
✅ How Sabbath is healing, salvation, and communion
✅ What it looks like to stop striving and trust God
✅ Why Sabbath is a weekly act of resistance and worship
✅ How to begin practicing Sabbath with joy and freedom

🙌 Weekly Practice:
This week, block time to STOP and REST—not just physically, but spiritually. Reflect on what keeps you from resting. Let go of control and trust the One who holds it all together.

Jesus often withdrew to lonely places—and so should we.

This message from Nathan challenges us to meet God in solitude, not just when it’s easy, but especially when we feel overwhelmed, tempted, or weak. In the quiet, God doesn’t shame our weakness — He strengthens us with grace.

🔑 Sermon Highlights:
• Jesus shows us the rhythm of retreating to the Father
• Weakness is not failure — it’s the doorway to divine strength
• God is not glorified by your exhaustion, but by your surrender

📖 Mark 1 • Matthew 26 • John 6 • 2 Corinthians 12 • Philippians 2

🔥 You’ll hear:
✅ Why silence is spiritual warfare
✅ What solitude really is—and isn’t
✅ How to return to the presence of the Father
✅ Why Jesus still says: “Come away with Me and rest”

What story are you living in—and is it true?

In this week’s message, Pastor David explores how the Bible is more than information. It’s the true story of reality that restores us in Christ and re-stories how we live, think, and love together. We don’t just need more content or information—we need a new map. One that leads us to Jesus.

In a world of noise, distraction, and pressure—prayer is resistance.
Not resistance by might, but by presence. It’s how we push back against isolation, performance, and spiritual drift.

This message from Pastor David walks through John 15 and 2 Corinthians 3 to remind us that Jesus doesn’t just call us to obey—He calls us to abide. To look, behold, remain, and live. Prayer is not a performance—it’s a relational, transforming presence.

🔥 In this message, you’ll learn:
✅ What is means to be PRESNT
✅ Why we are formed by what we behold
✅ How prayer is resistance to the world’s noise and performance
✅ What it means to be fully known and fully loved in Christ
✅ How beholding the glory of Jesus transforms us into His image

God is speaking—are we listening?

In a world full of noise, distraction, and distortion, Jesus calls His sheep to know His voice and follow Him (John 10).

👂 Hearing is biological. Listening is relational.

This message from Pastor David invites us to quiet the noise, open our ears, and tune our hearts to the voice of the Shepherd.

Just like a guitar drifts out of tune over time, so do our hearts. But the grace of Christ retunes us—again and again—to hear, know, and follow Him.

🔥 In this sermon, you'll discover:

✅ Why hearing and listening are different—and why it matters to your soul

✅ How Jesus, the Good Shepherd, still speaks and calls you by name (John 10:27)

✅ How the enemy distorts our identity through lies and distraction

✅ What it means to tune your heart daily to Christ’s voice like a guitar

✅ Why Scripture, Holy Spirit, and community are essential to test what we hear

✅ How to practice spiritual rhythms that lead you into relational listening

🌍 Go boldly with the gospel

Jesus carries our burdens—and calls us to carry the burdens of others.

Through His perfect intercession, we’ve been invited into a holy priesthood, standing in the gap on behalf of those in need.

This week, Pastor Nathan teaches us that intercessory prayer is not a task for the spiritually elite—it’s a call to love others with compassion, to pray like their pain is our pain, and to trust in the mercy of God.

🔥 You’ll be challenged to:
✅ See intercession as a priestly calling (Hebrews 7:22–25)
✅ Pray with the heart of Christ, not just for outcomes
✅ Make others’ burdens your own, just as Jesus made yours His
✅ Believe that God moves through His people’s prayers
✅ Pray for healing and trust in the healing through Christ alone

Is prayer really worth it? What’s the point if God already knows everything—or when it feels like He isn’t answering?

In this message, Pastor Adam helps us reframe prayer not as performance or obligation, but as an honest, ongoing conversation with a relational God- The Father. Through Psalm 73, Philippians 4, and James 5, we learn that sometimes the most powerful prayer we can pray is:

“God, change my heart.”

🛐 This message will encourage you to:
✅ Talk to God with raw honesty
✅ Keep praying even when it feels like nothing is happening
✅ Trust that sometimes prayer changes you before it changes your circumstances
✅ Believe again that prayer actually matters

When you think about God, what comes to mind? A distant judge? A cosmic boss? Or a compassionate Father who longs to be with you?

In this message, Pastor David opens our new series on prayer by showing how Jesus invites us not into performance—but into presence.

Through the aching words of the disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray,” we discover that prayer isn’t a skill to master—it’s a relationship to practice.

🔥 In this message, you’ll learn:

✅ Why prayer begins with longing, not technique

✅ How Jesus models a daily rhythm of abiding with the Father

✅ What the Lord’s Prayer teaches us about identity, dependence, and trust

✅ Why the torn temple curtain means you are welcome, not rejected

✅ How prayer is the gift of returning home again and again to God’s heart

📖 “Lord, teach us to pray…” — Luke 11:1

Jesus didn’t just die for Barabbas—He died for us. In our place.
And because He rose, the story doesn’t end at the cross—it begins there.

This Easter message, preached in two parts by Pastors David and Adam, begins with the sobering weight of our sin and ends with the living hope of the resurrection. Through the story of Barabbas, the cross, and the empty tomb, we are invited to surrender to the only One who holds the keys to death and life.

🔥 In this message, you’ll hear:

✅ Why Jesus died “in our place” (Matthew 27)
✅ What Barabbas teaches us about grace
✅ Why the resurrection is more than a happy ending—it's a new beginning
✅ What it means for Jesus to hold the keys to death and Hades
✅ Why hope in anything else will fail—but hope in Jesus transforms everything

In this message, Pastor Adam brings the Passover to life, showing how Jesus redefined it to form a new covenant for all who believe.

✅ Why rhythms, rituals, and remembrance matter
✅ How God used the Passover to form His people

📖 “Do this in remembrance of Me.” — Luke 22:19

Jesus didn’t ride into Jerusalem quietly. He came in peace—but with authority. He fulfilled prophecy, confronted hollow religion, and demanded a response.

This Pre-Palm Sunday, Pastor David walks through Matthew 21 and shows how Jesus is The King You Can’t Ignore.

🐴 Colt – Peaceful, prophetic protest

🧥 Cloaks – Costly worship, surrender

🙌 Crying Out – Praise with expectations

👑 King – The King You Can’t Ignore

🧱 Cornerstone – Rejected, then exalted

✨ Calling – The Vindicated King Sends Us

🔥 In this message, you’ll explore:
✅ Why Jesus rode a donkey to declare peace (Zechariah 9:9)
✅ The meaning of the crowd’s cries and cloaks (Psalm 118, Matthew 21)
✅ How Jesus exposed false worship in the temple
✅ What it means to confess Jesus as King in everyday life
✅ How He sends us as people shaped by His Kingdom

From the beginning, God has been building a family—not just a people, but a household. Through Jesus, we’re not just saved—we’re adopted.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks us through what it means to be “Familified”—grafted into the household of God through faith in Jesus, and called to live as brothers and sisters in a spiritual family.

🔥 In this message, Pastor Jimmy unpacks:

✅ How Jesus redefines family (Matthew 12:48–50)

✅ What it means to be grafted in (Romans 11:17–24)

✅ Why the Church is more than a crowd—it’s a family (Galatians 6:10)

A life that won’t fall apart is built day-by-day, moment-by-moment, on Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

When Jesus finished His most famous teaching—the Sermon on the Mount—He didn’t end with a benediction or a blessing. He gave a warning: Will you build your life on His words, or just admire them?

🔥 In this message, Pastor David unpacks:

✅ Why Jesus is the only true foundation (Matthew 7:24–27)

✅ How the early church practiced daily rhythms of obedience (Acts 2:42–47)

✅ How formation by the Spirit produces peace, joy, and love (Galatians 5)

From childhood, we learn to hide our mistakes—but God calls us to bring them into the light. The Bible shows us that confession isn’t about shame—it’s about freedom, healing, and true life in Jesus.

Confession is surrender leading to healing, freedom, worship—the way to true life.

🔥 In this message, Pastor David unpacks:

✅ Why confession is surrender, not punishment (Psalm 32:1-5)
✅ How hiding sin creates internal chaos (Genesis 3, Romans 3:23)
✅ The psychological & spiritual impact of unconfessed sin/secrets
✅ How Jesus took our sin so we could be covered in His righteousness (2 Cor. 5:21)
✅ Surrounded by Shouts of DELIVERANCE and STEADFAST LOVE!

📖 Key Scriptures:

➡️ Psalm 32:1- "Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."
➡️ James 5:16 – "Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed."
➡️ Romans 3:23 – "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
➡️ 2 Corinthians 5:21 – "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

Suffering isn’t what God intended, but in His mercy, He meets us in our pain. When Jesus faced the weight of the cross, He turned to the Father in honest, lamenting prayer.

His example teaches us how to bring our deepest emotions before God—without fear, without hiding, and without losing faith.

🔥 In this message, Pastor Jimmy unpacks:

✅ Why Jesus lamented in Gethsemane and how it models prayer for us (Matthew 26)

✅ How to bring our struggles to God instead of suppressing them

✅ The difference between godly lament and irreverent anger

✅ Common barriers that keep us from honest, heartfelt prayer

✅ How suffering can deepen faith instead of breaking it (James 1:2-4, Romans 8:28)

📖 Key Scriptures:

➡️ Matthew 26:36-46 – "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will."

➡️ Psalm 22 – "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Our natural desires—hunger, rest, pleasure—are God-given, yet sin twists them into appetites that can lead us away from Him. We are either mastered by our desires or mastering them through Christ.

🔥 In this message, Pastor Nathan unpacks:

✅ Why our flesh is not inherently evil, but fallen (1 Cor. 10:1-14, Jer. 17:9)
✅ How Jesus' victory in the flesh changes how we handle temptation
✅ The danger of unchecked appetites and their spiritual consequences
✅ How spiritual disciplines train us to glorify God in both spirit & body
✅ Why all of life is spiritual—not just "church things" (1 Cor. 10:31)

📖 Key Scriptures:

➡️ 1 Corinthians 10:13 – "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."

➡️ John 6:63 – "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all."

➡️ Phil 3:19-20 – "Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ..."

What messages are shaping your soul? Every day, we are either being formed by the truth of Jesus or deceived by the lies of the enemy (The Devil). The messages we consume shape our hearts, minds, and actions.

✅ The spiritual battle for your mind and identity

✅ How Jesus stood against Satan’s lies in Matthew 4

✅ Why the messages we consume shape our souls

🛑 What is shaping your soul—Jesus or Babylon?

From Cain and Nimrod to the Tower of Babel and Babylon, Scripture reveals a powerful pattern: we are always being formed—either by the world (Babylon) or by Christ.

🔹 What does Babylon symbolize in the Bible?
🔹 How did Israel become like Babylon?
🔹 What does it mean that we are a city on a hill?
🔹 How does John 15 call us to abide in Jesus rather than conform to the world?

The Spiritual disciplines are not RIGHTEOUSNESS, they are WISDOM- Dallas Willard

Following Jesus isn’t merely knowing about Him- it’s trusting, obeying, and becoming like Him as His Spirit transforms you within His Church family through abiding in Him and walking in loving obedience to His ways- that is LIFE, ABUNDANT and ETERNAL LIFE.

Be with Jesus.

Become like Jesus.

Do what He did

Abide. Truth. Freedom. What does this mean?! “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free….

"And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." -Matthew 28:18-20

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For the love of Christ compels/controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

You cannot love, you cannot truly live, if you do not receive His love and His life. He is love. He is life.

Jesus is everything!

Jesus says "all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Him" (Matthew 28:18). Here, in John 5, Jesus tells the religious leaders that He and the Father are one in will and action and that He has authority to give LIFE and JUDGEMENT. More, Jesus tells them that the bond between the Father and Son is Love.

What doe we do with this? How do we live trusting in His authority and resting in His love?

“My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.” “Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.”- Brennan Manning

May we trust in His authority- allowing Him to speak into and guide EVERYTHING in our lives- resting and trusting that HE LOVES US.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." -Matthew 28:18-20

Water is important. We need it! The Bible has so many cool things to teach us about water and how it connects to baptism!

Ever wonder about what baptism is and what it means?

"Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” - John 4:13-14

Join us tomorrow morning as we look into water and baptism in the Bible!

Water and Wind and Spirit? What is Jesus trying to tell us in John 3? Serpent lifted on rods in wilderness? "5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. … 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” - John 3:5, 14-16 Look to Jesus.

Happy Mother's Day from the MBC family to yours.

So the Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us for doing these things?" Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. -John 2:18-22

"And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." -Matthew 28:18-20

“Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you continue in my word, you really are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” …. 34 “Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever. So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.”

‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭32‬, ‭34‬-‭36

—-

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭

All glory be to Christ, our King!

What does it mean to have a right relationship with the Lord? Why does Jesus care so much about how we treat others?

"Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” - Matthew 25:45-46

The Judge's cycle of rebellion keeps getting worse and worse. Each week we keep humbly finding ourselves in such a cycle but look to Jesus in faith for His love, grace, forgiveness, and purpose in this life and for eternity.

Child sacrifice and treating the Lord like a vending machine!? Judges has many harsh stories…

Then the Spirit of the LORD came on Jephthah. He crossed Gilead and Manasseh, passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there he advanced against the Ammonites. And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: 'If you give the Ammonites into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.' -Judges 11:29-31

What does it mean to play the harlot as the bride of Christ?

No sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals. They set up Baal-Berith as their god and did not remember the LORD their God, who had rescued them from the hands of all their enemies on every side. -Judges 8:33-34

When we are weak, He is strong... What does this mean?

Join us today as we look at more of Gideon's story and how the Lord rescues them by His hand in their weakness.

We are weak. He is strong. Only through Him can we discover what it means to truly live!

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

👀 What does Jesus have to say about sex and sexual desire? 👀

Jesus cares deeply about the movies we play in our head that capture others, belittle them and use them for our own satisfaction and gratification. This is NOT what we were created for and goes against the image He created us in- to LOVE the Lord and to LOVE others.

What do we do with these desires? How are we to think about them?

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

John 14 has some powerful thoughts about loving the Lord and the Spirit helping us. He says He will make His HOME within us! Check it you!

Here is the video we refrence on NEW HUMANITY: https://youtu.be/takEeHtRrMw

Paul wants to encourage the Church to be strong in the Lord and take up His armor (the armor of Messiah/New Kingdom/New Humanity) to unify together as one in Christ wrestling against the 'rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.' Having taken up His armor WE, as one body in Christ, PRAY at all times in the SPIRIT

---.

Our temptation to be 'like God', not trust Him and the evil spiritual forces around all come together to make up all the struggle you see in the bible and the world around us.

Maybe if you believed and stopped forgetting that there are spiritual forces trying to pull us into chaos and disunity through temptation, sin and death, you would be more likely to pray for your spouse, your kids, your family, your church, your leaders, your city and your nation. Not just praying for the ideals you have in your mind about how thing 'ought to be' but praying against the disunity and chaos and praying for HIS KINGDOM COME AND HIS WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

Prayer is intentional, intimate, communication with the One who created you, knows you and passionately loves you.

Simple goal: Submit all your life to the Lord and communicate with Him in all things

Simpler Question: HAVE YOU TALKED TO GOD ABOUT IT?

3 Truths about God and prayer in the bible:

We are created to be with God and we are welcomed and INVITED into the presence of God!
Isaiah 55:1-3
Jesus comes- HIS NAME IS EMMANUEL!
Jesus says: COME TO ME! Matthew 11:28
God hears us. Take that in.
2 chronicles 7:14-15
Psalm 6:9
God invites us to talk to Him about EVERYTHING including our fears, worries and doubts!
It is comforting that others all through scripture have felt this struggle with God hearing them.
Habakkuk 1:2
Psalms 13
- Things are hard for many right now. Somethings are just AWFUL
- This prayer and so many others teach us what to do: WE TAKE IT TO GOD FIRST! LAMENT, STRUGGLE, WRESTLE WITH GOD!

“God always answers your prayers in precisely the way you want them to be answered if you knew everything he knew.” -Timothy Keller

2 main reasons people are not prying

Unhealthy fear of God- Fear of God is healthy… there is unhealthy fear of God
- We don’t think God likes us and is disappointed in us.
We don’t think we need God. Functional Agnostics. God amnesiacs
- We operate under illusion of control- We are fragile
- We feel like we are holier than we actually are and fool ourselves to believe we need God less and others need God more. Functional saviors for ourselves

Stop the guilt and shame cycle! Stop the functional agnosticism! Stop God amnesia!

Start Here:

Luke 11:1-4 - Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:

“Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”

Pray First! Ask: Have you talked to God about it?

Close your eyes right now… think of what is important to you. What you value

Have you talked to God about it?

Think about what you want right now. "Things would be great if _________ ... "

Have you talked to God about it?

What are you struggling with (sin, hurt, doubt, pain, all of the above)?

Have you talked to God about it?

“Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”

God moves in Nineveh despite Jonah's half obiedence. Jonah is forced into a position to be humbled by God.

We see God not throw up his hands, if you will, and abandon Jonah for his stubbornness. He brought on a storm of correction, but again shows His mercy after discipline by meeting his child Jonah right where he was....in a smelly fish.

What do we do with our fears and anxieties? This week we wrestle with how to point our fears and anxieties to the Lord and trust in who He is.

Sometimes having a bad reputation is a good thing. The early missionaries, Paul and Silas, we said to have "turned the world upside down." This was not meant as a term of endearment at the time.

Today, how do we as Christians change the world? How do we turn the world upside down? It may not be easy but this is only down through the knowledge and acceptance of the Gospel. It is only the Gospel that changes the world.

This Sunday was a little different as our Associate Pastor, Adam Moss, announced his call to step out into domestic mission launching The Abundant Journey Ministries.

Have you ever seen a Bible verse on a Facebook post or coffee mug and thought, "Is that really what that means?" Scripture is meant to give us life (John 6) and when we use it improperly it does not allow God to communicate to us fully. This Sunday we dive into a top-five list of scriptures taken out of context.

Love is always defined as commitment and sacrifice. God models this by providing us Jesus and His sacrifice for our sins. We always know that God is committed to us by forming and shaping us into the image of Christ. This refining process is done in Love and builds our faithfulness and trust in our Heavenly Father.

Peace is the inner settledness of our souls... but, how do we find that peace? If we are honest, peace is hard to find. There is always something to be anxious about or in need of. Our pursuit of peace must start with the only true source of peace, Jesus Christ. Join us as we learn to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Prince of Peace so that He May restore us and give us eternal peace with God, peace within ourselves and peace with others.

We may be able to find enjoyment in special events, accomplishments, and material possessions but these things are finite. We should seek joy in the eternal. In Luke:10 Jesus tells us to rejoice that our names are written in heaven. This is our joy, that we have a place prepared for us, living forever with the Lord God. Is your name written in heaven?

God is the source and supplier of our hope. We put our faith in a God that will one day make all things new, in Christ. Our struggle is that we tend to put our hope in the probabilities of life and the things we think we control. May we continue to strive together each moment to place our hope in the only one who can hold it eternally. May we hope in Jesus Christ. How are you placing your hope in Jesus this season? How can we help you?

Advent is about us proclaiming the sufficiency of Christ through the discipline of waiting. How will you and your family celebrate Advent? What specific ways are you waiting and remembering King Jesus?

Mark 15 is the climax of the Gospel narrative with the crucifixion and death of Christ. It is at Calvary, God's love shown and His justice is served, by not sparing his son Jesus. Jesus' sacrifice was the atonement for all of the injustice and sin humans have plagued this world with, but because we have a Heavenly Father that truly loves us he spared us by casting our judgment on His Son. It is through Jesus' blood we are made pure and can now stand boldly before the throne of God.

Do you follow Jesus for who He truly is or what we have tweaked Him to comfortably be? Jesus, his ways and his teachings often go against what we would expect. They are counterintuitive and often counter-cultural. In Mark 11 Jesus enters Jerusalem very differently than normal kings and goes to the temple only to flip tables and call it a den of robbers! What do these things mean and how do they apply to us?

The Lord is long-suffering with us. Even when we are failing to understand or when we choose to pursue our own desires he provides for us. In Mark 8 and 9 we witness a dramatic turn of events in a short time. Peter proclaims Jesus as the Christ and then moments later is called an enemy of God. But the Lord does not just leave him in his sin. Jesus reveals his glory to Peter along with James and John. The same glory that makes Jesus worthy to save our souls. We can always count, even in our sin, for the Lord to provide himself.

Throughout Christian history the false belief that somehow we must earn our salvation has poisoned is all. It is a dangerous and alluring thought that somehow, through our own efforts, we can overcome the corruption in our hearts. In Mark 7 Jesus teaches us about false religion and that our hearts are corrupt. Only through faith in Jesus can we be changed at heart and be made right.

When we follow Jesus sometimes things get messy. Sometimes we struggle to understand why things happen in life the way they do. Jesus challenges us to put our faith in him. We are meant to know that his goal is to save our lives and we should trust him with all!

In Mark 4 Jesus challenges us to have EARS to HEAR. In a world where evil, emotions, life circumstances and other distractions fight to control our hearts and mind, we must fight to have a posture of hearing the Word of God and taking it into our everyday lives.

Mark 2 gives us an incredible picture of faith in Jesus. We as the Church are called to carry one another as we struggle through the hard times in life. Are you connected to a church that will help carry you and you can help carry others?

We are all called to respond to the calling of our Lord's voice. The first word's we hear Jesus say should ripple through and change everything about life. We are called to repent and believe in the Gospel.

September 8th marks the first Sunday of our Fall Fellowship study through the Gospel of Mark with the Francis Chan RightNow Media video series. The Gospel of Mark opens with a description of John the Baptist, the man Jesus describes as the "greatest man born of woman." His message is one of repentance and forgiveness and he is a stark contrast to the church leaders of the day. How do we live in contrast to culture but instead live for the message of the Gospel?

Where the Gospel is spoken confrontation and division can often occur. The temptation of the church is to water down and dilute the Word, to make it more palatable for the masses. The problem is a diluted Gospel never satisfies your heart or redeems your soul.

We are saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus. Period. When we add anything more we place a load on ourselves and others that none of us can carry. Are you tired? Jesus says His load is light and He can give rest to your souls (Matthew 11:28-30).

Are you resting in Him or still trying to carry that heavy load yourself?
