Acts 5:1-11
There are moments in Scripture when God is doing something entirely new and in those moments, something happens that catches us off guard. God pauses the story He brings what is hidden into the light. He purifies the foundation before anything is built.
Acts 4:32 - 37
There are moments in Scripture - and in life - when the gospel stops being an idea and becomes something you can actually see. Not just hear, not just believed, but seen.
Acts 4 is one of those moments.
Join us as we journey with Jesus toward Jerusalem in a special sermon series that invites us to slow down, pay attention, and let His path shape our own. Each week we’ll walk alongside Christ as He teaches, heals, confronts, and ultimately offers Himself for the life of the world. This is a season to reflect deeply, to rediscover the heart of the gospel, and to allow the cross —and the love that carried Him there—to form us as His people. As we follow His steps, may we find renewed faith, deeper surrender, and fresh hope in the One who leads us to resurrection. This journey is also an opportunity to widen the circle. Many around us are longing for hope, community, and a place to belong—especially as Easter approaches. We encourage you to extend a warm invitation to friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members to join us for this series and to experience the joy of Resurrection Sunday at Parkside. A simple invitation could open the door for someone to encounter Christ in a life-changing way.

Scripture: Psalm 16:11
•
All Christmas long we looked at the arrival of Jesus as the arrival of real and lasting Joy. Not temporary happiness that is only as deep as comfortable circumstances. True joy that comes from God is deeper and stronger than any difficult circumstance we can encounter. As we get ready to head into a new year let’s remember that God is the ultimate source of Joy. Unlimited. Unshakeable Joy.

Scripture: Luke 2:10,20
•
Finding joy, real joy, in the midst of the holidays can be challenging enough, but how do we share it with all the people we come in contact with during the Christmas season? It can seem like an unending receiving line of people, some we like, others we tolerate, and then there are others who we do not see anymore that we desperately wish that we could. Not to mention that we still have to find time to get our work done during the month of December. It can be frenetic, stressful and emotionally exhausting. On the very first Christmas, the shepherds were out working the late shift, punching the time clock like they always did, and their night was interrupted by an unexpected joy, that their people had been waiting a long long time for. It overwhelmed them in the best way possible and after witnessing it themselves, they couldn’t help but share that Joy with every person they encountered.

Scripture: Isaiah 35:10
•
Jesus brought real joy for all people when he arrived in a manger in Bethlehem. It wasn’t momentary and it wasn’t superficial. It was for all people for all time and it was a deep well of real joy. For the Israelites it had been long awaited. The world itself had been longing for it since the fall of mankind. Jesus brought refreshing joy to the spiritual desert of earth. This long awaited joy is available to you and I every day of our lives. In the midst of our struggles and hardships let’s embrace the Joy of Jesus.

Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-20
•
Jesus said in the Gospels that our battle is not against flesh and blood. In the verses leading up to this week’s section Paul makes it clear that we are supposed to serve each other in our relationships, not fight them. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a war to be waged. The battle is against the forces of evil. In this battle against unseen forces, we don’t fight with physical weapons either. We use the tools God has given us for these battle and we use them not just to protect ourselves, but each other too.

Scripture: Ephesians 6:1-9
•
Most social observers categorize our relationships into 4 categories: family, friends, work, and community. Paul in Ephesians 6 addresses pretty much all of them. He says in all of our interactions we need to consider God an active part and focus of that relationship. In all of our interactions with others we need to act as if we were serving God not just someone in one of those social spheres.

Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-33
•
Our behavior impacts our relationships and the strength of our relationships shapes our lives. The reality is that strong relationships come from submitting to people we know love us and we know we can trust. A real relationship does not force the other person to submit or love them. A committed friend or a committed partner takes the first step. As followers of Christ, we take the first step to honor others because of our love for Jesus.

Scripture: Ephesians 4:32-5:14

Your old habits and haunts can be hard to give up. They can sneak up on you and before you realize it you’ve slipped right back into destructive behavior. Once that shadow has crept up on you again, it can be hard to shake it even if you know that it doesn’t fit with your new way of life. As followers of Jesus, now each of us walks in the way of love and we pursue the things we know make God happy.

Scripture: Ephesians 4:17-31
•
Behavior modification. We aren’t talking about court mandated probation or some re-education camp from a dystopian novel. This is changing our behaviors to benefit ourselves and others. And it isn’t a means of controlling or restricting any of us. Instead, the way we experience purpose and freedom flows through resisting some of our old habits, to learn a new way of living that God has for us.

Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-16
•
As Paul writes about how the church accomplishes our mission he uses the same metaphor he uses when he wrote to the church in Corinth. He says the church is like a body. Each of us connected to each other, each of us has work we need to do. When we work together it helps each other grow to be more like Jesus and it accomplishes our mission. What works of service have you been equipped for and how are you at work in using them?

Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21
•
Have you ever witnessed someone using a tool, but not exactly understanding what the tool is actually supposed to do? Prayer is an incredible tool we have been given from God. It’s a supernatural way for us to connect with him. Prayer is powerful too. Sometimes though we don’t use it quite like it was intended. Paul, as he writes the church in Ephesus, is in jail. He isn’t praying for his freedom in this letter though. Instead he is praying for the spiritual growth and well being of the Ephesians. That they would fully experience the presence of God in their lives. What would happen in our homes, in our neighborhoods, and in our city if we prayed for each other to experience the power of Jesus on a personal level?

Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-12
•
Every good breakout movie has a plan. Whether we are talking about Shawshank, Alcatraz, or The Great Escape they all have a hidden plan waiting to be put into motion. If it’s going to be successful it can’t be discovered too soon. In Ephesians 3 Paul repeatedly mentions a mystery. A plan that God has for rescuing mankind. This plan was hidden for generations, but now it's been made known to us through Jesus. The mystery becomes our mission too. It isn’t a mystery anymore, through Jesus we can be reunited and restored with God.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22
•
The city of Ephesus was filled with people from different places, cultures, and beliefs. One of the greatest unifying features wasn’t a shared faith or belief, it was their shared economical benefit from the multitude of religions practiced in the region. Paul told the church in Ephesus all Jesus followers are united in community in an even more meaningful and powerful way. God has united us together in spite of a multitude of differences through the blood of Jesus.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10
•
Admitting our failures is painful. For the most time, the only time people do it, is either in recovery, or to highlight how far they’ve come. For Christians our testimony is worth celebrating, but it forces us to acknowledge our brokenness. Before Jesus redeemed us, we were all on spiritual life support. We were as good as dead. But then Jesus rescued and redeemed us. All of us have a powerful story about how God’s grace has transformed our lives. What is your story of Jesus resurrecting you?

Paul tells the church in Ephesus that he is continually doing two things as it relates to them. He is consistently giving thanks to God for their faith and he hasn’t stopped asking God to help them know Jesus better. As a church we can consistently give thanks for our spiritual family and commit ourselves to praying that each of us would recognize more deeply the power we have access to through Jesus Christ.

Scripture: Ephesians 1:1-14
•
When Paul wrote the book of Ephesians, the city of Ephesus was in the midst of its Golden Age. The temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, wasn’t just a center for worship, but also the regional commerce and banking center. This encapsulates so much of what had shaped the city into the thriving hub that it was. A multitude of deities were worshipped there which created great opportunities for local businesses to capitalize on those religions. The book of Acts says that the word of the Lord prevailed mightily there. This created a great deal of friction between the culture of the city and the mission of the church. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reminded them of their spiritual reality in spite of their present circumstances. We too need to hear Paul’s words and be reminded of our spiritual reality.

Scripture: Revelation and Other Unusual Stops
•
It doesn’t matter how many roadtrips you’ve been on. At some point along the road, you start talking about what the NEXT road trip might look like. Sometimes it is focused on a return trip to someplace you love, and other times it’s a journey to completely new location. At the end of Scripture, the last book shares of a final road trip. It involves a return trip, and a new destination all at the same time. Revelation promises Jesus’ return, and for his followers to go on a new journey to a place he is preparing for us in heaven.

Scripture: Hebrews to Jude
•
As a follower of Jesus it’s important to not suffer from short term memory. The early church had just experienced the most amazing connection between God and man in the history of the world, and its leaders didn’t want anyone to forget about it. They wrote each other time after time reminding them that no matter WHAT or WHO you are comparing Jesus too, Jesus is still always the best. Knowing that Jesus is the greatest can get us through even the toughest parts of our journey.

The road trip is all about the journey, but the best part is reaching the destination. When it comes to Jesus, we didn’t reach the destination, he reached out to us. He’s arrived at our destination. He came for us. The start of the New Testament tells the history of the life of Jesus and the start of another road trip. After his life on earth, Jesus gave his disciples a new mission that was full of road trips to come.

The original Route 66 connected small towns all across the country. Small towns don’t make small people. They produce tight knit communities with strong values. At the end of the Old Testament, there is a collection of books called minor prophets. These small books are not small on truth. They foretell of Jesus’ arrival, warn of the consequences of our choices, and also provide wise direction for life’s journey.

When you go someplace special, it's not a simple trip. If it was, then everyone would go there right? God’s people found their journey taking them unexpected and difficult places.

Scripture: John 13:1-17
•
Earlier in the series we talked about how Jesus served because his heaven Father instructed him too. The Gospels make it abundantly clear that this was not a small part of his purpose, but a core part of Jesus’ nature. He came not to be served, but to serve. He came to give his life for the people he was serving. In his final moments with his disciples he made the full extent of his love apparent by serving them once again. He washes their feet and tells them to serve others in the same way.

Scripture: The Book of Esther
•
The book of Esther is an excellent case study in the motivations for serving. The three main characters of Esther all serve in different ways but with different motivations. Mordecai serves the King and saves his life because it is the right thing to do even if he doesn’t get credit. Haman on the other hand serves only to make himself look good and does even that at the expense of others. Finally, Esther has very little control over her life and situation, but still chooses to serve God for the sake of her people. When your moment arrives, how will you serve?

Scripture: Judges 4-5
•
Sometimes God calls us to serve in a bold way. We might take a look around and not like our chances of success. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t serve, it means we should lean all the more on the strength God has given us. Are we willing to boldly trust that God goes before us when we obey him? In a culture when men were often the ones in power, God used the boldness of two separate women to deliver the Israelites. Serve God boldly and he promises to go before you.

Scripture: Genesis 6-7
•
If you want to be a great servant, it isn’t a one and done sort of thing. Faithfulness is a key attribute of any of God’s Servants. Community Service projects are great, but committed servants are just getting started when most everyone else is punching their time card and going home. The Bible says that Noah faithfully walked with God in a time when the rest of the world could care less. He didn’t just do what was right, he built an ark under God’s direction day after day, year after year even if nobody else paid attention. Can we serve faithfully like Noah?

Scripture: Ephesians 2:8
•
All over Scripture, we are told to ‘serve the Lord.’ In Psalm 100:2, it says to ‘serve the Lord with gladness.’ Deuteronomy 10:12 says, ‘Serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.’ Joshua says, ‘As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord’ (Joshua 24:15). And Paul in Romans 12:11 also tells us to ‘serve the Lord.’ In Mark 10:45, Jesus says, ‘The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve.’ Christians throw around the phrase ‘serve the Lord’ but what does that phrase mean and why is it important as a follower of Christ? We don’t get right with God because we serve, we serve because Jesus saved us and made us right with God.

It’s true that Jesus’ disciples were not expecting him to die or even to die on a cross. It is especially true that they weren’t expecting him to come back to life. Everyone who had fought with death had lost. All of humanity ended up swallowed in the grave, never to return. Jesus broke the jaws of death and emerged victorious. His triumph over death brought us a victory over sin and death as well.

Scripture: Luke 11:28-32
•
One of the reasons that Jonah didn’t want to go share God’s message with the Ninevites was because he didn’t like them. They were sinful, they were scary, and the list could go on. God still had a message for them. God still wanted them to obey him. It’s interesting that in Jesus’ ministry he actually references the story of Jonah and the Ninevites. He tells a crowd that is showing up looking for miracles that the only sign they’ll get is the sign of Jonah. He goes even further and tells them that the Ninevites will stand up at Judgement and condemn this generation. What is he saying? He’s challenging them to not miss God’s message and call on their lives. Don’t wait for a sign. Respond to Jesus’ words in your life right away.

Jesus didn’t select most of his disciples from the shores of the sea of Galilee. They also did a lot of their ministry around it and spend significant time on it. While traveling across the sea a storm threatened to wreck their small boat. As the disciples despaired, Jesus woke up and calmed the storm. Even in the trouble of the storm, the disciples were safe with Jesus in the boat. Recognizing you are safe in the midst of a struggle when God is with you isn’t easy at all. Once we do though we also begin to see his power.

The story of Jonah revolves around God’s chosen prophet, Jonah, not wanting to go to the people he was sent to. It led to him being swallowed by the fish. The life and story of Jesus on earth was almost the complete opposite. In Matthew 4 one of Jesus’ first recorded conversations was telling his disciples that he would teach them to be fishers of men. Where Jonah chose to run away, Jesus chose to run towards. He pursued what he cared about the most.

Criticism comes more naturally clemency. Judging others is far more comfortable than forgiveness. When we call prey to this tendency we develop spiritual short sightedness. We fail to see the world as God sees it and in turn also suffer from a diseased heart. The build-up of negative and judgemental feelings in our heart, creates a blockage that prevents us from letting God’s grace flow through us. We should rejoice when anyone turns to God. We are messengers of hope.

Scripture: Jonah 3

Repentance has a bad reputation, partly because of self-righteous people smacking others over the head with it, and partly because it's just an uncomfortable thing to do. No one likes to be told they are wrong, and no one likes to admit they are wrong. Still, repentance isn’t just a good thing. It’s a gift from God. It isn’t easy to recognize that repenting can make us healthier, happier, and stronger, but when we do it will do us a world of good.

Even in the depths of the ocean Jonah knew that God had provided for him and rescued him from himself and his troubles. Not many of us would consider being swallowed up by a fish as God’s provision in our lives, but Jonah recognized it for what it was. In the ancient world the sea was a symbol for death. Even trapped in the depths of ‘death’ Jonah knew that God could hear his prayer and his salvation could only come from God. I hope none of us ever get swallowed by a fish, but I do hope all of us know that God’s rescue story for mankind is the best news ever.

Connecting to God is only the beginning. Christianity is a relationship and not a religion. Relationships take effort, time, investment, and discipline. God doesn’t want us to know about Him, He wants us to KNOW Him. Healthy relationships are growing relationships. And for that to happen we must spend time with God through His Word and prayer daily. We need to use the resources God has given us, like the Bible, the Church, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.

There’s some really good news that we have to tell you, but before we tell you the really good news, there’s some bad news that there is just no avoiding. We are all in a more perilous situation whether we realize it or not. We’ve missed the mark in life and its created a dividing chasm between us and God. Most of the time we drift through each day unaware of the dire predicament we are in. In the back of our mind, in every single heartbeat, and deep within our gut there is an aching longing to be made whole. To be reunited with God and restored. That’s where the good news of grace comes in. Through the cross, Jesus has made it possible for us to be ALL IN on grace. Because Jesus went ALL IN for us he can bridge the separating gap and reunite us with God.

It led the shepherds to rejoice, and the wisemen broke out in worship. The same journey is before each of us. If we follow in their steps it will lead us to rejoice and worship as well.

Scripture: Hebrews 2:17
•
Two millennia ago the hope of all mankind arrived in the most unexpected way in a little town just a few miles outside of Jerusalem. In Bethlehem, in a manger meant for feeding livestock a mother placed her newborn child. This little one would go on to heal the sick, walk on water, and even bring the dead back to life. This child would go on to give his life for all of us. His arrival to earth takes us on a journey. A journey to the town of Bethlehem to once again look upon the face that would redeem us all. A journey to the manger that would lead us to the cross.

Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18
•
Two thousand years ago, the God of the universe decided to put on skin and become a human, born in a manger in the town of Bethlehem. He decided to go on that journey and descend to earth long before that. All the way back to the creation of the world he knew that man would need to be rescued, and he decided to do the heavy lifting himself. From the pages of Genesis, all the way up to the straw-filled manger you can see his footsteps to earth. Whether it is foreshadowed in the lives of the leaders in Israel's history, or in the words of their prophets, it was clear that Jesus was coming to rescue us all.
God calls us to use what we have to protect and care for those around us.

Scripture: Luke 2: 1-7, Matthew 1:18-25
•
After it was decreed that a census would be taken, Joseph had to make an unexpected journey with his new wife who was about to give birth. That wasn’t the only unexpected journey he was going on though. If things had gone according to his plans, he would have divorced her quietly and moved on with his life. She had wound up pregnant before they had gotten married, and he wasn’t the father. God had other plans though. There was something much bigger going on and God wanted Joseph watch over and care for Mary in the midst of this turbulent journey.

Scripture: Luke 1:26-56
•
The best estimates say that Mary was somewhere between 15 and 16 years old when she gave birth to Jesus. Roll back the clock just a little more than 9 months before that. Think about that season in Mary’s life. She was going to be married. Her life was arranged neatly out ahead of her. There would have been excitement for the wedding just around the corner, the hope for a family down the road after that. Then an angel comes to her and tells her of a much different journey that is in store for her. An exceptionally special one for sure, but one that erases much of the future she thought she had ahead. As Mary began her journey to the manger, she was also coming to grips with the loss of the life she thought was about to arrive.

Scripture: Romans 3:23-24

What brings us back to the manger year after year? Each of us might celebrate our own birthday each year, but no other birthday brings so many people together every revolution around the Sun. Time after time we go on a journey that leads us back to a manger, with a little Israeli boy in it that would go on to change the course of history. We come to the manger, because we need it. More than most of us even realize. We need the grace, redemption, and adoption into God’s family that it holds. We need the savior that was born in that manger.

Then you will be prosperous and successful.” If we want to be ready for whatever life brings our way, effective in the mission we’ve been given, and dangerous against the enemy we need to memorize and meditate on the word of God. This isn’t homework or mindless school memorization. This needs to be a passionate and spirited process of tattooing God’s word in our hearts and placing his truth on banners in our minds.
In the New Testament, believers were told not to worry about having the right words when they were dragged before public officials or asked to testify regarding Jesus.

At the start of the book of Nehemiah it says that when he heard how bad things were back in Jerusalem that he wept, fasted, and prayed. Those prayers weren’t your everyday prayers. He was crying out to God for the needs of his people. He was a part of the royal court of the Persian empire. His prayers weren’t for himself, they were for God’s people and God’s city. How do we pray when God breaks our heart for the needs of others? What should those prayers lead us to do?

Title: Be Joyful, Be Prayerful, Be Thankful
Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
•••
Paul closes his first letter to the Thessalonians with a benediction challenging them. In it, it says Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Our joy, prayers, and thankfulness should not fluctuate with our circumstances. While that might be easy to say, it's hard living out sometimes. Be joyful, be prayerful, and be thankful- often goes against our natural inclination. But when we consciously decide to do God's will, we will begin to have a new perspective on these things.•••

Disciple is a word that we use to refer to Jesus’ followers. It doesn’t just refer to his closest group of followers though. In his last conversation with his followers he told them to go and make all people disciples. We are supposed to become disciples of Jesus, who help others follow Jesus too.
That word, Disciple, also means to be a student. So the picture Jesus draws for us is each of us being his student, and at the same time teaching others to be students of Jesus too. Many of us have the desire to be a student of Jesus. We know he has a lot to teach us. There aren’t many of us though that feel like we have what it takes to teach others about him. Jesus would disagree though. He wants us to come alongside people in life in simple ways to share simple truths about him. If we do that, we can become followers of Jesus who lead others to follow him too.

Many of us have the desire to be a student of Jesus. We know he has a lot to teach us. There aren’t many of us though that feel like we have what it takes to teach others about him. Jesus would disagree though. He wants us to come alongside people in life in simple ways to share simple truths about him. If we do that, we can become followers of Jesus who lead others to follow him too.

Next day delivery has changed how most of us function. We click the BUY NOW button and expect to be able to almost simultaneously hear the package hit our front porch. None of us have much patience to wait for anything. If it doesn’t get delivered over the course of a couple days, we think something is seriously wrong.
When Jesus was born, he surprised almost everyone, because Israel had been waiting for so incredibly long, that most people had stopped waiting altogether. He showed up and instantly started fulfilling prophecies from hundreds of years earlier. Still some people wanted to call customer service because he wasn’t what they expected. Other’s saw what the rest were missing. He was exactly what the prophets had told them to be waiting for. He was exactly what we all needed.

Christmas Eve is a day of anticipation and longing, but what are we all waiting for? Most children are eager for the arrival of gifts under the tree on Christmas morning, while adults may long to be with family or to be with those that are no longer with us. What are you waiting for? Before Jesus’ birth, the world longed for a Savior and unexpectedly, He was delivered. And little has changed because our souls still yearn for something more. They long for our Savior – Jesus.

Peace of Mind sounds incredible. The tranquility of a quiet stream on loop in your brain. That peace feels like the golden ring on life’s carousel; always just out of reach. There is the average day to day struggles of life, but so many of us also combat mental illness in our lives, and the lives of those we care about. It leaves us feeling isolated, inadequate, and broken. Life doesn’t feel like a peaceful river; it feels like we are drowning in a flood.
Jesus calls all who are weary to follow him. He promises us rest. He doesn’t tell us to pray harder to find mental peace or health, just like he doesn’t tell us to pray harder that our broken arm would heal itself. When Jesus rescued us, he placed us in a spiritual family. All of us are going to experience sickness both physically and mentally. God promises he is with us in those struggles, and he has also blessed us with our faith community, and professional resources to navigate those challenges. Don’t struggle alone, and don’t believe the lie, that if you only tried harder or had more faith, then you’d find peace of mind.

Jesus told his disciples that he was gentle and humble of heart. Humble and gentle is not what you’d expect from an all-powerful being. Jesus took it even further though. He said we should be humble too. Reaching all the world with the love of Jesus doesn’t require us going big or being exceptional. To reach our world with the love of Jesus we have to be willing to be exceptionally small.
An apex predator elicits fear and respect from their prey. They are big, fast, strong, and dangerous. Our instincts would tell us if we want to make it in life we have to eat or be eaten. It seems that to be exceptional, we’ve gotta go big. What if exactly the opposite was true? In the New Testament we read that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness.

In Matthew 9:35-39 Jesus tells his disciples that there is a harvest waiting to be brought in but the workers are few. He asks them to pray that God would send workers out to bring in the harvest. At Parkside we want to be God’s workers in the harvest. It doesn’t matter who plants the seed or who waters it. God is the one doing the miraculous work of making things grow. All of us need to be using our time, talent and treasures generously so that God’s harvest, His Church, grows in our community.

I think all of us at some point in our high school education heard the phrase, "Why do I even need to learn this? I am NEVER going to use it anyways!" For some of us, it was in Math class, others Algebra. Why learn something if it's never going to be necessary in the real world? During the month of August, we will be memorizing scripture together. It's not just empty work though. The Word of God is effective and powerful when we apply it to our lives. Let's memorize these verses together so we can be ready for whatever life might bring our way.

God is no stranger to rescue. He rescued Jacob and his family from famine and drought when he used the pain of Joseph to provide for them in Egypt. After that miraculous rescue they stayed as aliens in a foreign land for over 400 years. In that time, their small family grew to the size of a nation and became oppressed and enslaved. They once again needed rescue and God sent them a deliverer. His rescue was even more miraculous. But just because you have been freed does not make you free. They still needed to discover the land, the purpose, and the identity God had for them.
We are his people, raised up for the adventure we were made for. It is for freedom He has set us free (Gal. 5:1). Are we living in the land, the purpose, and the identity God has spoken over us or are we still living in the wilderness? We are no longer slaves but free children of God, blessed with the dreams from our Father. God’s church should be no stranger to rescue. He calls each of us to step boldly into the wild.

God is no stranger to rescue. He rescued Jacob and his family from famine and drought when he used the pain of Joseph to provide for them in Egypt. After that miraculous rescue they stayed as aliens in a foreign land for over 400 years. In that time, their small family grew to the size of a nation and became oppressed and enslaved. They once again needed rescue and God sent them a deliverer. His rescue was even more miraculous. But just because you have been freed does not make you free. They still needed to discover the land, the purpose, and the identity God had for them.
We are his people, raised up for the adventure we were made for. It is for freedom He has set us free (Gal. 5:1). Are we living in the land, the purpose, and the identity God has spoken over us or are we still living in the wilderness? We are no longer slaves but free children of God, blessed with the dreams from our Father. God’s church should be no stranger to rescue. He calls each of us to step boldly into the wild.

Before Jesus’ death, his teachings, miracles, and conversations were powerful enough that many were willing to crown him king of the Israel. His conversations after his death left his followers calling him the one true God. Jesus’ conversations with his followers show us he is the ultimate authority on all of existence. We were more desperately in need of being rescued than we ever realized, and Jesus let his followers know that His rescue mission brought hope for us all.

Before he died, Jesus spoke to his earthly mother, his disciple, a criminal, and his heavenly Father. His words revealed the immense physical and spiritual pain he was experiencing. But they also revealed his commitment to fulfill his mission of redeeming all people. Finally, his words on the cross let us know that he succeeded in that mission.

Week 10: Who Was Jesus Talking To? Speaker: Randy Adams Originally Aired on 4/10/22
•••
We’ve all experienced an accidental conversation. You hear someone and think they are talking to you, but really they are speaking with a friend on their Bluetooth headphones. Or maybe you are in a crowded place, and someone shouts your name, but they are talking to someone else with the same name. Sometimes even in your own home someone can be talking for a long time before you even realize they are talking to you.
In the gospel accounts of Jesus’ life, Jesus spends time talking with religious leaders, blue collar workers, friends, soldiers, the sick, the possessed and more. How does who he is talking to change what he is talking about? Where might we find ourselves in those conversations? Maybe Jesus has been talking to us more than we even realize.
