Gen Z slang is rife with new words like "unalive," "skibidi" and "rizz." Where do these words come from — and how do they get popular so fast? Linguist Adam Aleksic explores how the forces of social media algorithms are reshaping the way people talk and view their very own identities.

Every Day with Jesus - Acts 2.42-47, Ephesians 4.11-16, Matthew 28.18-20

Jobey McGinty

God’s design for the local church is to gather His people regularly for daily life in Christ, to be built up, healed, equipped, and matured so that we can go out and spread the aroma of Christ and make disciples of all nations. Until that desired end and goal, we have the challenges of sin, failures, pride, pain, death, laziness, stubbornness, and a litany of other roadblocks. While the church is not perfect, nor is it easy, Jesus models how we are to enter into that messy, difficult, imperfectness, to bring healing and help. And so we submit and ask the Spirit to work through us to do the same, here and now, in our local churches.

Doctrine & Theology - Class 6: Covenant 1:39:13

för 6 hours sedan1:39:13

1:39:13

In Class 6, we explore the concept of covenants within a theological framework, emphasizing humanity's total depravity and inability to achieve salvation through works. God righteously hates sin and sinners , but simultaneously desires to show unmerited favor (sola gratia). This grace enables individuals to exercise faith alone (sola fide) to receive salvation, as exemplified by a series of biblical covenants—Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic—all of which foreshadow and culminate in the New Covenant , made possible by the Covenant of Redemption within the Trinity and sealed by the Holy Spirit. True spiritual freedom and reconciliation with God are gifts that transcend human effort, which should lead us to a profound appreciation for God's redemptive plan and a call for compassionate evangelism.…

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 9.11-22 Tyler Willis The Old Testament system of sacrifices was temporary, a shadow that could never truly cleanse our conscience. It was designed to point to something better—to Jesus, our perfect High Priest. He entered the heavenly sanctuary not with the blood of animals, but with His own blood, securing an eternal redemption for us. The blood of Jesus is far more effective than the blood of bulls and goats. It has the power to purify our conscience, freeing us from dead works so that we can serve the living God. Jesus is the mediator of a new and better covenant, and through His death, we receive an eternal inheritance. Because of this ultimate sacrifice, we are now called to offer our own bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.…

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 9.1-10 Jobey McGinty The Old Testament provided a specific way to approach a holy God, a system of rituals and regulations that were a gracious provision for a sinful people. But these were always temporary, a shadow pointing to a greater reality.Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment—the high priest, the sacrifice, and the temple all in one. The tearing of the temple veil at His crucifixion symbolized the complete removal of the barrier between us and God. He has not only removed the guilt of our past, but has cleansed our conscience, freeing us from shame and a life lived in the past.Because of His work, we are a new creation. The old has passed away, and we are now the very righteousness of God, in Christ. Live in the reality of this new identity and approach your holy God with boldness.…

Doctrine & Theology - Class 5: Sin and Satan 1:54:11

för 10 dagar sedan1:54:11

1:54:11

In this class, we reach the introduction of evil into God's perfect creation . We learn of Satan's origin as a proud angel who rebelled and became the "father of lies," leading to the fall of humanity. We then examine the consequences of sin , including the curses placed on creation, mankind, and Satan , and, as a result, the separation from God. But God remains sovereign in the midst of the sin and evil, asserting His ultimate control and purpose in all things, even suffering. Understanding sin helps us better understand our need for daily repentance and engagement with scripture.…

God created everything ex nihilo (out of nothing) through His Word , a concept linked to the Trinity's involvement (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and He called it good! By understanding God's original design for humanity, made in His image (imago Dei) as male and female, we can have a better understanding of marriage, sexuality, and the sanctity of life .…

August 10, 2025 - THE IMPERFECT TUTOR 48:56

för 13 dagar sedan48:56

48:56

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 8.1-13 Jobey McGinty The Old Covenant, with its rules and sacrifices, was never the final answer. It was a tutor, meant to expose the depth of our sin and point us to a greater solution. The Old Testament priesthood was a "shadow" of what was to come, a temporary measure that could never make anyone truly perfect. But Jesus Christ established a new and better covenant, one based on unbreakable promises. He fulfilled every requirement of the old law because we could not. And through faith in Him, we are not just forgiven, we are justified. Our sins are remembered no more, and we are given a brand new identity—from "children of wrath" to "children of God." Because of His mercy and grace, we are made alive with Christ. Now, as children of God, our purpose is to share this incredible news with a world that is still separated from His saving grace.…

Doctrine & Theology - Class 3: The Word of God 1:43:18

1:43:18

God, desiring to be known, has revealed Himself through His "Word," defined not merely as utterances but as His complete thoughts, will, and purposes. This revelation manifests in declarations, Scripture, and most profoundly, in Jesus Christ, who is described as the Word made flesh. The Word is "breathed out by God," serving as the ultimate authority, providing sufficiency for godly living, rebuking sin, offering correction, and training believers in righteousness . U nderstanding God's Word, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, is essential for recognizing false teachings, purifying one's life, and knowing Christ Himself.…

In chapters 1 & 2 of our Doctrine & Theology class we begin to explore the profound impact of the study and knowledge of doctrine can have on our lives. The truth is, everyone is a theologian and how knowing God—who He is, what He does, and His ways—leads to a healthier, richer relationship with Jesus Christ. We delve into God's self-disclosure, including the central and necessary doctrine of the Trinity , understanding Him as one true God in three distinct, co-equal Persons. We see to learn how this understanding transforms our worship and prayer, and provides a divine pattern for all relationships, fostering love, humility, and confidence in our unique roles within the body of Christ . This study aims to change you from the inside out, causing you to fall more deeply in love with God.…

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 7.1-25 Jobey McGinty Melchizedek, a mysterious king and priest from the Old Testament, serves as a powerful "Easter egg," foreshadowing the coming of Christ and assuring us that God's eternal plan is true. Jesus is our true and greater Melchizedek, a High Priest whose position is not based on lineage but on the power of an indestructible life. He is the guarantor of a new and better covenant—one that isn't a fragile deal dependent on us, but an unbreakable promise God made to Him. Because of this, Jesus is able to save us to the "uttermost." He provides a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty on our salvation, accomplishing it from beginning to end. Even when we fail, Jesus, our perfect High Priest, continually intercedes for us, making our salvation secure in Him.…

Colossians 3.1-17 Jobey McGinty As believers, made alive by God's grace and indwelt by His Spirit, we can pursue holiness not in our strength, but in His. It's time to intentionally "put off" the flesh and "put on" the fruit of the Spirit, as Colossians 3:1-17 urges. And, thankfully, this isn't dependent on human willpower. When we tap into the Spirit's power and God's Word, real change begins. So, what's the plan? Daily reading, memorization, and meditation on God's Word. Training ourselves to pray like Jesus, praying Scripture itself. And truly investing in purposeful, accountable community.…

In Zephaniah 3:14-20, we read some profoundly good news for ancient Israel—promises of an end to exile, restoration from shame, and God's very presence among them. These ancient promises find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. He embodies God's presence, brings true restoration, and ends our spiritual exile by enduring exile Himself. Through Jesus, God doesn't just tolerate us; He sings over us, smiles over us, and delights in us. His love is not begrudging but overflowing with joy. Believe this good news and find rest in the boundless, joyful love God has for you through Christ.…

2 Corinthians 3.1-18 Forrest Weiland One of the greatest joys of the Spirit's work in your salvation is knowing that He is actively writing your life story and enabling you to live for Him. You can take comfort knowing that your sanctification and growth come entirely from God, as His Spirit powerfully works within you. He provides all you need to grow and change—a foundational promise and gift of the New Covenant in Jesus Christ.Witness how, over the consistent arc of your life, the Spirit transforms you into the very image of Christ. As you behold God's beauty and glory, fixing your eyes on Jesus, you will be changed from one degree of glory to the next, all by the Spirit at work within. Though we plant and water, it is God who gives the increase; in Him we place our hope and trust.…

Proverbs 1.1-33 - Jobey McGinty Beyond mere morality or following rules, wisdom is the ability to navigate life's complex choices, even when moral paths seem unclear. A lack of wisdom, though not always immoral, can lead to disaster. True wisdom isn't just about accumulating knowledge; it's about knowing God through His Word and His Son. In fact, Christ Himself is the very Wisdom of God. We need this divine wisdom not just for ourselves, but to be salt and light, crying aloud in a noisy world, drawing others to the saving grace of Jesus.…

Romans 8:28 reminds us that for those who love Him, all things work together for good, for those called according to His purpose. Yet, do we truly marvel at Him? Or do we often worship creation over the Creator, seeking our own sovereignty, thinking our finite minds know better than an infinite God? This is the subtle deception of idolatry. God's sovereign love desires His power be known by you, for your good. We are part of His redemption story, but His glory is the point.…

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 6.13-20 Jobey McGinty The author of Hebrews uses the story of the covenant God made with Abraham to illustrate the fact that God, when He made a promise to us, likewise did so by making the promise sure by Him making the promise to Himself rather than between us. He swore by two unchangeable things: He swore by Himself (His unchangeable character and purpose), and He swore with an oath (His promise to fulfill His promise). God’s fulfilling of His promise is in Christ, not in you or me. God the Father “sealed the deal” with God the Son, and not only that, but God the Holy Spirit is the seal of this guaranteed, promised inheritance. In the meantime, while we await this heavenly hope of our future inheritance, we wait and endure patiently. We must put our hope in the fact that the promises of God are anchored down in Christ, not in us.…

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 6.4-8 Jobey McGinty Is the author of Hebrews telling us that it is possible for a believer to get to a point where they can no longer repent? This is, indeed, a challenging passage, and so we must use the whole Word of God to help in our understanding. When things are unclear in any communication or desire for understanding, we ought to appeal to the most clear information we have in order to make sense of the less clear. This helps us understand context better. And while the short answer is "no", if the Spirit of God is within you and you have been born again in Jesus, then your salvation is secure...the longer answer is that this passage, and others like it, serve as a stern warning to all those who are unsure where their faith actually lies and we should all regularly ask God to both give us assurance and point out any area in our hearts which requires repentance.…

The biggest threat to the church today is not from outside the church, but from inside. “Biblical illiteracy” is an epidemic in the church despite the fact that the Bible is carried around in our pockets each and every day.

And, eventually, a new High Priest was sent, and it was the very Son of God Almighty. But although He was the Son, He would not be given preferential treatment. He would have to go through all that the earthly High Priests would go through, even what every human would have to go through, and through this, He also became a High Priest originated from the people, with the weakness of human experience being what makes Him sympathetic and gentle.…

Whether it is “and” or “but” or “if,” all of these make a huge difference in understanding what the Lord is telling us. And in Hebrews, we see a lot of these, and in particular we see a lot of two important phrases: Because, and Therefore. Because we have a “great High Priest” who entered into the heavens on our behalf, we then therefore should hold firmly to the confession of our faith in Him. And this great High Priest actually comes alongside of us and empowers us to hold firmly to the saving truth of the Gospel.…

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 4.1-7 Jobey McGinty Rest seems quite elusive for us in this day and age. Constant demands and keeping up with the pace of life leaves us restless. But God offers us the best and most important rest necessary, and that is rest from not only condemnation and shame, but also rest from trying to earn God’s love and acceptance. The Good News is that rest is still available to anyone who still has breath. The sacrifice of Christ is sufficient to cover and pay for the sins of all who would believe in faith. And as long as it is called “today,” anyone, regardless of how “far” from the Lord they are, is able to be saved by that grace, and that grace will be sufficient for us for all eternity.…

The author of Hebrews does not want his readers to miss out on this “so great a salvation,” and he gives a warning to them of that possibility. From these verses, there are at least two things we can recognize...first, we must heed the call to “take care,” this means we must do something to prevent this hardening of heart. And, secondly, we must remember that this warning simply for those who don’t profess to know Christ, but it is a warning to people who do profess to know Christ, who have seen the work of God. We must be realistic and open about our sin, and we then must come alongside each other, in gospel community, to equip and prepare ourselves to fight against it.…

So for us, God’s Word makes it clear, we have all fallen short, and God alone is truly good. But we aren’t left with that bad news. Because of His love, God devised a plan.

Whether we always feel or act holy is another matter! But the author of Hebrews is seeing us through the lens of the completed work of Christ and he is calling us to see ourselves the same way.

God, of course, sees our sin for what it is and knows that it requires a rescue plan that is beyond our comprehension or capability. And God’s Word says that it was “fitting” that God would come up with a particular plan to exonerate us, and the plan would be preposterous. He Himself would stand in our place. And God called this “fitting." It is necessary that something/someone as amazingly perfect should be what satisfies the justice of God, because sin is itself amazingly treacherous. And because Jesus has become a human and endured all that we have, He has become a perfect, sympathetic, and faithful High Priest who ministers to us and for us.…

His goal is to help these Jewish believers rightly interpret the Old Testament in light of the events of Christ. What the author is doing here is effectively saying, “don’t take my word for it.” He wants his readers to base their beliefs not on what he claims, or on their feelings or thoughts, but he wants them to go into God’s Word.

Every Day with Jesus - Matthew 6.5-13 Jobey McGinty While any prayer truly from the heart is a good prayer, accepted and loved by God, there are also “wrong” and “better” ways to pray. Jesus gives us “do’s” and “don’ts” when it comes to praying. The Psalms also serve as a kind of prayer handbook. When we pray the Psalms, we pray from our own hearts to be sure, but we are also joining with our spiritual ancestors in Israel, church history, and using the very language that God Himself gave us and taught us so that we can best enjoy communion with Him. God’s Word is like a javelin, and your heart is the target. Praying the Psalms enlarges the target for God’s Word and God’s desires to permeate your heart.…

With Christ, if we are only “breathing in” our own thoughts, worries, or desires, we will always be one-sided, because we will only then be “breathing out” our thoughts, fears, and worries. A two-way relationship with Christ requires prayer, and while any genuine prayer is good, when we learn to respond to His Word in prayer our hearts become more aligned with Him, and like fuel (our prayers) being added to the fire (God’s Word), our prayers and back and forth relationship become explosive.…

Every Day with Jesus - John 3.1-7 Tyler Willis Just as physical exercise strengthens our bodies, spending time in the Word strengthens our souls and helps us grow in our faith. The more we make a habit of being in the Word, joyfully anticipating the ways that God will work in our hearts through His Word, we will see the Holy open our eyes and transform us from the inside out. And we know that the new heart God gives us, through the Spirit, is imperishable...not susceptible to sin's decay or death...and we rejoice!…

Every Day with Jesus - Proverbs 1.20-23 Jobey McGinty We live in an incredibly noisy world. Noisier than any other time in human history, and that is by design...some of our Enemy's greatest weapons are distraction and busyness. As Corrrie ten Boom put it, "If the devil can’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy." So how do we counter these weapons? The answer is to start simple and small...to just start building with the tools given to us by our Father: prayer, the Word, and Gospel Community. Around these things we build a trellis designed not to look impressive but simply to support the growth of a living, vibrant vine of relationship with Jesus. This won't happen by accident, though. It takes hard work and training, and a commitment to loving and following He who first loved us!…

In our society, this is more challenging than ever, with mobile technology purpose-built for distraction and consuming our attention. It's easy to feel like we just don't have time, but in reality, we have plenty of time...we just are choosing to spend it in undirected ways. This is what conformation looks like, over time. But the good news is that we are not passive victims in this process. Through the wisdom given to us through God's word and Spirit, and in supportive Gospel Community, we can begin to implement helpful limitations and daily liturgies which support the transformation we wish to see!…

Every Day with Jesus - 2 Peter 1.3-15 Jobey McGinty In Peter’s last recorded letter, he emphasizes his passion and conviction to always be reminding believers of the Gospel. It is, in some ways, a pastoral “mission statement” for all leaders to constantly be reminding those in their lives of the important Gospel truths that keep us walking with Jesus daily. We, as believers, can easily become near sighted, losing sight of the bigger, eternal picture. But, as John Owen reminds us, "So much as we see the love of God, so much shall we delight in Him, and no more." And to know God, we must know His Word. We must pray. And we must join in these things with His people.…

Psalm 107 Jobey McGinty Psalm 107 compels us to vocalize God's steadfast love, both for our own souls and to encourage the church. We see four scenarios where people encounter God's grace: the lost wanderer, the isolated rebel, the suffering sinner, and the storm-tossed soul. Whether through aimless wandering, willful rebellion, self-inflicted suffering, or life's overwhelming storms, God's response is consistent. When these individuals, at their wit's end, cried out to the Lord, He delivered them. He satisfies the longing soul, breaks the chains of rebellion, heals the afflicted, and calms the tempestuous seas. Just as we trust a skilled surgeon's knife, we should trust God's hand in our lives, even amidst trials. Let the redeemed acknowledge and celebrate His steadfast love.…

Christmas Eve, 2024 Jobey McGinty The Christmas narrative is fundamentally a declaration of war - a cosmic battle for dominion. God created a world overseen by man, but a rebellious force usurped that order, plunging humanity into a kingdom of sin and death. However, God initiated a divine rescue operation, promising a savior to redeem humanity from its self-inflicted treason. This was no vague promise; God provided a detailed profile of this liberator through numerous prophecies. The statistical improbability of one individual fulfilling these prophecies at random is astronomical, yet Jesus Christ fulfilled over 300, demonstrating the intentionality of God's plan. Jesus' mission was to conquer sin and death, offering eternal life to all who believe. The path to this salvation is through acknowledgment of sin, belief in Jesus' divine identity and sacrifice, and confession of faith in Him. This is the essence of the Christmas message: a victory won for humanity through the birth of a savior.…

Advent: I Will Draw Near to - John 1 Jobey McGinty The “Word of God” is both with God and is God. It is distinct, yet not an “it,” but a “He.” John tells us that Jesus is the Word of God, but before being revealed as “Jesus,” He was the invisible Word of God. God wanted to be known fully and intimately. Why is He the “Word” of God and not the hand, arm, or mouth? Our words come from us and are intertwined with us, revealing who we are. Other body parts don’t define or reveal our true selves; words do. Christ, as the Word of God, is the lamp to our feet, given so we don’t have to guess who God is. He was given to you to know the one true and living God, and to give you true life.…

Advent: I Will Draw Near to You - Malachi 4.4-6 Jobey McGinty At the close of the Old Testament, God leaves His people in suspense for 400 years before the arrival of John the Baptist and Jesus. During this period, significant events unfolded, such as the Maccabean Revolt led by Judas Maccabaeus against the Seleucids. And when the curtain opens on the New Testament, we again find Judea under occupation...this time by the Romans. And the Jews are desperate for a Judas Maccabaeus type of Messiah to come along and give the Romans the boot. And when Jesus entered Jerusalem they thought the time had finally come...but they were quickly disappointed by a Messiah who encouraged them, instead, to love and serve their enemies. He had come for a far greater purpose: to conquer a far bigger regime than the Romans. Just like the Jews, we often have our own expectations and desires for what Jesus "should" be...and it mostly boils down to a Santa Claus messiah who will right our personal frustrations and cater to our needs. But He has far greater plans for you and I! He is greater than Judas Maccabaeus...better than Adam, Elija, David, and all others before Him...and He is better than you and I. He stands righteous, in our place, before the Father above, presenting us washed in His blood and acceptable in His sight!…

However, God is a Holy God. Our Father is perfect in everything, in every way, always. When he comes near sin, evil, unrighteousness…it is all consumed. And we are not holy! For those who fear Him, though, we do not stand alone. Our advocate, our mediator, our savior opens the palms of His hands to reveal his wounds. The wounds we deserved. And the Judge will declare us innocent. And we respond to this certainty of future grace with righteous living, renewed eyes for the lost, endurance to live in the here and now, and hope for the coming day of the Lord!…

But God calls us to a deeper level of heart transformation. True repentance involves a reverential fear of the Lord, a fear that leads us to honor and glorify Him in every aspect of our lives.As we surrender our hearts to God, He refines us through trials and challenges, shaping us into His treasured possession. Though the process may be painful, it ultimately produces beautiful, godly character. So let's embrace the refining fire and trust in God's perfect plan for our lives.…

This message, whether coming from Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew or God through the prophet Malachi, remains consistent throughout the Bible. It serves as both a caution and a promise, a statement of fact and a guide for those seeking to draw near to God. To find where your heart truly lies, observe where you invest your time and resources. God understands that our satisfaction and contentment will only be complete when He possesses our entire hearts. We cannot fully surrender our hearts to Him if we cling to the blessings He bestows upon us. In His goodness and love, He invites us to test Him in this: by generously sharing our time and resources in our pursuit to love Him and those around us, He assures us that He will provide blessings sufficient for all our needs.…

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi 2.17-3.5 Jobey McGinty It is common to wonder about God’s apparent absence amidst tragedy, hardship, and atrocities across the globe...why evil people seem to prosper and go unpunished. We must remember, however, God's perspective and understanding infinitely more complete than ours, and while we are often very quick to focus on the evil around us that requires judgment, we are less apt to want judgement on the sin inside our own hearts. God mercifully delays His judgement and graciously blesses in the meantime, but we must be careful to not mistake the delays and the blessings as approval of sin...ours or the world's. Make no mistake, God's judgment will fall upon all of the evil in this world, in each of our hearts, and it is only by being washed clean in the cleansing, sacrificial blood of Jesus that we may be found holy and righteous in God's sight.…

It wants to thrive and be in control. So what is our response? First, we must admit our sin...to God and those trusted "iron sharpening iron" brothers and sisters God has placed in our lives.

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi 2.1-9 Jobey McGinty “Covenant” isn’t a word we often use in our relationships, but a covenant is what frames up God’s relationship with His people. It is a commitment built up on relationship, which is why we call it the “covenant of marriage.” It is not simply a contract or formal business agreement, but a relational commitment on both sides for mutual benefit. On our own, we don’t live lives that are perfectly integrated...lives in covenant relationship. We all fall short, each one of us, every day. But this is the miracle of rebirth: When we are born again, we are regenerated, and when we are regenerated, we are integrated. When we are hidden in Christ, we are integrated into His righteousness, His character, and His perfection and purity. We now walk by faith in confidence that we are in Him.…

Instead, He wants us to give Him our all, cheerfully and generously. Far too often we cling to "our" time, money, possessions, comfort, convenience as though it is ours, and not given to us by our Father. And when He asks for us to give it back to him we say, "no, that's mine!" forgetting that it all comes from Him. He's asking us to be good stewards of His blessings and to offer them back to Him in worship and service. Let's respond to God's call by opening our hands and our hearts. As we give generously, we'll experience the joy of true discipleship and the abundant life that God promises.…

What is the Conscience? - 1 Corinthians 8.1-13 Jobey McGinty The conscience is something that every person has that acts as a warning light letting us know what is right and wrong. But for every unique person, there is a unique conscience. No two consciences are alike, and no one's conscience is perfectly aligned with God's will. So what should we do with this? How do we move forward being convinced of our own convictions, yet also humbly knowing that we could actually be wrong? When (if ever) should we go against our conscience? And how do we live with others who don't share the same convictions that we do?…

April 9, 2023 - EASTER: THE BAD NEWS OF TRYING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH 41:34

för 2 years sedan41:34

41:34

Jobey McGinty "Clean enough" isn't determined by a kid cleaning his room, but by the parents' assessment. "Clean enough" isn't determined by a suspect's thoroughness in cleaning up a crime scene, but it's determined by the CSI team. Likewise, "clean enough" isn't determined by our own assessment of whether or not we are "good enough" to earn a spot in heaven, but it is determined by God's evaluation. The question "how good is good enough" ought to be one of the most important and pressing questions we should deal with in our lives, and though the bible tells us some very bad news that "no one is good" enough, the bible also gives us the best news ever: there is still hope.…

för 2 years sedan41:34

41:34

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 11.1-18 Jobey McGinty Jesus, the Prince of Peace who is entering into His city and His Temple, makes clear with His actions, “this is My house,” as He causes disruption and causes chaos with His righteous anger. But His actions point to a much larger “destruction” and “cleansing.” John’s Gospel tell us that Jesus makes a direct correlation between this cleansing and the future destruction not of the manmade Temple, but of His body, and that this “destruction” will lead to a permanent cleansing of the Temple, which is the Body of Christ. The desire of God is to have a Temple where people from all nations can come to worship, and ultimately, become living stones of the true and eternal Temple, which is the body of Christ Himself. But room must be made for them, rather than crowding them out. God desires to make room in our own hearts and topple over the tables in our hearts that crowd out true worship and true love for outsiders.…

But He welcomes the outsider and calls them His own, and this is Good News for us! In this sermon, God directs Peter to change up his views of how he sees outsiders, and begins to built in him a compassionate heart that desires to see anyone and everyone come to know Jesus.…

We can trust that God has called us into every specific circumstance in our life, and we can trust that there is some great purpose in it. We should have an open expectancy that God may even want to surprise us with something we never expected. We aren't to give in to cynicism, but we are to give in to faith.

Even when things don't go how we hope them to go, Jesus proves faithful. We may not understand it in the moment, but we can trust that God is at work in our lives, even amidst the greatest challenges and pains in life.

Tim Cain, pastor at Kaleo Church in El Cajon, California, reminds us how easy it can be to fall down the slippery slope of envying those living "the good life" in the world around us. The psalmist in Psalm 73 starts off in that direction, wondering where is God when the wicked prosper and have lives of ease, while His people suffer. It's not until he enters God's sanctuary that he is reminded that the truly good life is wherever God is...and because of the gift of Jesus, God's presences is here with us today. Even in the midst of our suffering and sorrows we can truly life the good life as we wait expectantly for the glory that is to come.…

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 7.1-16 Jobey McGinty Stephen, faced with an accusation of blasphemy, responds not by defending himself but, rather, by defending the Gospel. Similar to Jesus providing His followers a history lesson on the road to Emmaus, Stephen walks his accusers through Old Testament truths, which point directly to Jesus. Stephen's primary motivation is obviously not a love of self, nor is it even a love of those around him (although that is clearly evident in his response)...he is primarily motivated by his love for the Father, and that love compels him to boldly provide his witness, even in the direst of situations.…

The early church leaders quickly realized that they had gaps, and that they would not be able to do it all...they needed others to press in, to serve, and to ensure all of the needs of the community were met. While this service can feel overwhelming at times, we remember the words of our Lord, Jesus (It is more blessed to give than to receive), we draw upon the strength of His Spirit, and we press in.…

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 5.12-42 Jobey McGinty After witnessing Jesus' life, death and resurrection Peter and John were forever changed, but they were still not sure of what would come next or what their lives would be like. Once they received the Spirit, however, several things quickly came into focus. They knew for certain that they must obey God's call on their lives to speak the truth boldly, with gentleness, kindness, humility and, most importantly, love. They knew their message would be unpopular and not everyone would accept it, but they made up their minds to obey, plant seeds and trust God with the harvest. God's call on the lives of His followers today is the same, and the world will likely respond the same...persecution is guaranteed. Thankfully, God's gift of the Spirit is also the same and in Him we can preach boldly and selflessly love those we are preaching to, whatever their response.…

Acs: Save to be Sent - Acts 2.37-41 Jobey McGinty We can read about the early church in the book of Acts (stories of thousands coming to faith from a single sermon) and feel like these were "professional" Christians, well beyond ordinary followers like us. But the truth is that most of them were likely still trying to wrap their minds around who Jesus was and what He came to do when He was suddenly killed. For most of them, it probably wasn't until Jesus left and they received the Spirit that their eyes were opened to the truth of who Jesus actually was. These were baby Christians leading thousands to faith! God sought out commoners, the unlearned, those without cultural acceptance or influence, and then He breathed His Spirit into them and spoke through them...and He is still doing that today. You and I can have this same Spirit of power and can see God work mightily through us in spite of, and even because of, our weakness. He doesn't need your resumé or your proven track record. He brings both. He simply asks you to trust and obey!…

Saved to be Sent - Acts 2.1-21 Jobey McGinty At Pentecost (the 50th day after Easter) we see the disciples waiting, expectantly, for the Spirit helper Jesus had promised. They know they are in over their heads and that they don't have what it will take to accomplish the mission Jesus has given them. They know they are in need, big time, and their only good option is to wait for the Spirit to show up. And He does! In that moment, we see God's radical plan unfold...the provision of Himself, indwelling these weak, common people (just like you and I!) to empower the kind of supernatural love and service Jesus had called His followers to. If we go out and try to love and serve and follow the Great Commission out of our own strength, we will become exhausted and discouraged. But we have One inside of us who easily pushes past human weakness, spent resources, lack of wisdom, lowly reputation and influence, to seek and save the lost!…

Saved to be Sent - Acts 1.12-26 Jobey McGinty When we find ourselves in unclear and challenging situations, maybe at a crossroads in our lives, it is natural to cry out and ask God to reveal His will to us. Sometimes we may receive a clear sign of what God's specific will is in that situation, but often we are met with silence, and we can become discouraged or even doubt God's goodness and faithfulness. But the Word is full of God's revealed will and when we seek to understand and grow in that which is specifically revealed, on a day-to-day basis, we find that our will becomes more conformed to His and we are able to be more discerning when those times of difficulty, choice or crises come along.…

Jesus dies and rises from the grave and then leaves earth and leaves His ministry in the hands of weak, scared disciples. But God grants His Spirit and, in doing so, He not only accounts for the weakness of His followers but He leverages it and uses it to amplify His message and grow the church. When we come to the end of ourselves, repent of our self-sufficiency and trust in His Spirit for provision and strength in our weakness we are more at the center of His will than at any other time of felt strength.…

Easter: The Risen Temple - John 2.17-22 Jobey McGinty We are all faced with some particularly bad news...the prospect of needing to be "good enough" and "clean enough" to enter into God's presence. The reality is that no amount of effort or self-discipline will allow us to meet the standard of holiness...which is God, Himself. Thankfully, there is One who not only met the standard, but if we admit our sin, believe that He alone can save, and confess that He is Lord and Savior, then His clean, perfect record becomes ours. God not only welcomes us into eternal rest in Heaven, but comes and makes His home with us here and now...within our bodies, as a living temple. What an incredible mystery and gift this is.

Palm Sunday - Luke 19.28-40 Jobey McGinty Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem was confusing and upsetting for many, especially those in positions of power at the time. For those who were hoping for a Messiah that would stand up to the occupying Roman forces, this "king" entering the city on a donkey must have been a massive let down. For the religious leaders of the day, who had carved out comfortable positions of power amongst the Hebrew people, their surprise would have quickly turned to indignance as they saw Jesus turning over tables in the temple and calling it "My house." And today, many are still confused and upset by a King who doesn't seem interested in defeating the enemies around them or changing their difficult circumstances. But Jesus' zeal for the physical house of God, the Temple, is no less than His zeal for our hearts, and He will not allow our idols and sin to set up shop there.…

This reminder has held true for every generation since and is one we need desperately today. The "wisdom" we see in the world around us stands in stark contrast to what we can plainly see in God's creation and how we have seen Him consistently speak and act throughout history.

Our enemy is never not working, as the commercial says, and is constantly seeking to gain a foothold in our hearts and minds. So we must also constantly be at work...rooting out small sins before they grow into big sins, and then immediately backfilling the voids with gospel truths. Thankfully, God does not leave us alone in this work, but gives us His Spirit as a helper and a guide.

They make promises to fulfill desires, give significance, right wrongs and soothe hurts. Our enemy uses these tools to exploit whatever weak spots we might have in our defenses and to gain access to our hearts. Peter warns us of these things and of the destruction they can work in us.

Peter encourages us, however, with a reminder that God has given us all we need for life and godliness, in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

But when he takes his eyes off of Jesus he begins to sink into the water, and he takes matters into his own hands and cuts off the Centurion's ear, and he ultimately denies his Savior. Even after Jesus restores Peter we find him, yet again, looking away and comparing his calling to that of the other disciples. Jesus' kind rebuke is a soft reminder to refocus...to bring his eyes, focus, trust and attention back onto Jesus, and to simply follow Him, wherever He leads. Jesus' call to us today is the same; look away from everything else and "Follow me!"…

Each of us has denied our Savior and turned our back on Him, in thought, word and deed. Each of us has relied on our own strength and convinced ourselves that "we've got this" or that it's at least possible for us to "got this" with enough work. But because Jesus' love goes well beyond our sinful, human limitations, we see him move towards Peter (and us) in our sin and failure, not away. He redirects the focus away from Peter's failures and onto His own faithfulness and love which will never fail, and He brings this same restoration to each of us today.…

Sometimes it's hard to understand why God would call us to specifically follow Him alongside others, and we can start to believe the lie that we can do this better on our own. But, in God's wisdom, He designed us to live and follow and serve and to be served within a community of believers, and that means allowing others into the messes we'd often rather hide. It's always easier to think of reasons to not seek out community...to hide, to fill our lives with hobbies, events and idols that crowd out this kind of life together...but when we do finally commit to living in true, vulnerable community with our brothers and sisters in Christ, we see Him bring truth, clarity and change in ways we will not find on our own.…

Search Me, Know Me, Lead Me - James 1.19-26 Jobey McGinty With most (all) aspects of the Christian life, when we start with "me" at the forefront of our minds we often find ourselves on a futile, frustrating, powerless path that leads to despair. Our prayer lives are often Exhibit A for this demoralizing cycle. Our prayers can drift into me-centric wish list and gripe sessions that better resemble conversations with a genie or Santa Claus rather than with God, our Father. While He wants to hear our hearts (wishes and gripes included) we should be quick to listen and slow to speak when we come before Him in prayer. If, through the work of the Spirit, we begin to treat prayer like it is the continuation of a "conversation that God has started through His Word and His grace" (J.I. Packer) we will find it to be a powerful, conforming force that goes well beyond what we could ever think to ask for when we start with "me" in mind.…

And while we can (and should!) work hard at running from sin and emptying our hearts of anger, gossip, bitterness, snarkiness, etc, it's not enough to just root these things out and move on with our lives. Even if we could effectively empty our hearts of these things, how quickly would they sneak back in? The excavation and demolition of the decay in our hearts must be immediately followed up by laying a new foundation of God's Word. This is not a one time activity...we must constantly be digging out weeds and backfilling with the Word, and thankfully we have God's Spirit as our helper and partner in this activity.

In the midst of the congregation and the elders, it is important for us to declare God's goodness to one another. Had we known, as a church, what lay ahead of us in 2021 we likely would have been incredulous and fallen into despair before the new year had even begun. But, in hindsight, we see the kind, strong, loving hands and the tender embrace of a Father who walked alongside us through the loss and heartache, guiding us in the fog of a continuing pandemic, cancer and death. His strength was evident in our weakness this past year, and as we reflect on His presence in the midst of it all we are prompted to, as the psalmist encourages us, stop and "say so."

Advent: The Arrival of Heaven - 2 Corinthians 4.17-18 Jobey McGinty In our previous Advent sermons we've seen how God's intention does not seem to be an abandonment of His creation, but rather a cleansing and a redemption of it. We see clues that it will be the same with our work, cultures, kingdoms and heritages. God clearly loves creativity and variety and the Bible seems to indicate that Heaven will be a place of many languages (united by a single Heavenly tongue) and cultures, as well as opportunities to pursue joyful, life-giving work. All things will be subject to His perfect will and will operate only for His glory and our good, including any memories we have of this current life. As we sing about each year at Christmas, sin and sorrows will no longer grow, and thorns will no longer infest the ground. Wherever the curse is currently found it will be replaced by His blessing and we will live, work, interact, explore, discover and rest in the shadow of His love. This is good news!…

If you picture yourself with wings and supermodel looks, flying above clouds and eating chocolate all day, you might be surprised. The Bible seems to paint a very different, and somewhat more familiar scene. We will likely look like ourselves, and the world around us will likely look and work similar to how it does now, minus the effects of sin. The reality the Bible points to is that God's creation isn't something He's looking to abandon, but rather something He's planning to transform, redeem and cleanse. And this is so much better than misty, ethereal bodies and 24hr harp music! (Nothing against harp music!)

Advent: The Arrival of Heaven - Isaiah 9.6-7 Jobey McGinty The biblical story of sin and death entering into the world through Adam and Eve, along with the sin and suffering each of us have personally witnessed and experienced, don't make much sense without an eternal perspective. It can all feel like a big mistake, where God's Plan A was thwarted by man's sin and Jesus was the Plan B we needed to put things back together. But the Bible makes it clear that not only was Jesus God's Plan A, but that the sin and fall of mankind that lead up to Jesus were also part of the plan. While this might seem confusing and unexpected, it begins to come into focus when we look at God's overarching goal...to put His glory on full display, and for us to be able to enjoy that with Him for eternity. Our ability to enjoy and to be in God's presence is not possible without the backdrop of sin and suffering and the wonder of God's intervention, through His Son, Jesus.…

We, too, can allow the fears of life to lead us into unbelief and hiding, not living out the lives of love and sacrifice He has called us to.

This begs the question...what is the "it" that has been finished? While we will never fully grasp the breadth and magnitude of what Jesus completed in His time on earth, or the specific work on the cross, we do know that it is simultaneously cosmic and eternal while also deeply personal to each of us.

We might be tempted to try to start the story there and hope that God would similarly use us in big ways for His Kingdom work. But Peter doesn't become the rock without the brokenness his sin and pride led him into. Peter needed to have his plans dashed in order to see the good that the Father had in store for him. God isn't surprised by Peter's shortcomings. Neither is He surprised by yours. Better yet, He has specific plans for those shortcomings! All of the pride, struggle, failure and weakness we see as being outside of God's plan can serve to bring us to a place where all we have left is Jesus...which is precisely where the Father wants us.

44:48

Gospel of John - John 17.6-12 Jobey McGinty An orphan who hopes a family will come to their rescue and choose them to be part of their family is powerless, on their own, to force that adoption to take place. They can't find a family and tell them, "guess what, congratulations, I'm your new son or daughter" and expect that to suddenly become reality. They have no right to force their way into that family. In the same way, we don't choose to find God and become part of His family. We have neither the right nor the ability! But He chose us and sent His Son on a rescue mission to save all the Father had chosen...and, thank God, Jesus does not fail! So if our job is not the choosing or the seeking or saving...what is it? In its simplest form, our job is to accept this miraculous, undeserved adoption, take His name and live like we're part of His family...through the power of the Holy Spirit and out of eternal gratitude.…

Trusting God While Grieving Britni - John 17.6-10 On Saturday, August 14th, many, many people lost a dearly cherished friend and sister in Christ. Britni, as I have described, was "the face of our church," as she led our Connection Team and welcomed newcomers each Sunday, as well as emanated joy and worship from her as she sang and led us in worship. We are heartbroken and without words to describe the loss and emptiness we feel. This sermon begins sharing about the final days and hours of Britni's life, and then attempts to bring our minds and hearts to the truth that Britni loved so much. We are reminded by Jesus' own words, that we are His, and by His strength and grace He will keep us as is. Britni knew this, and it is because of that truth that we can, with tears falling from our eyes, rejoice that she is in the eternal presence of the Savior that she loved and worshiped so dearly.…

Gospel of John - John 17.15 Jobey McGinty John 17 marks a pivotal moment in Jesus' ministry. In this High Priestly Prayer we (and the disciples) hear Jesus state in plain terms His reason for coming into the world, His power to save those the Father had given to Him, His intention to return to the Father soon, and His resolve to have His flock sustained through hardship by the truth He has taught them. Jesus' intention and resolve to save should give us hope and courage, as they remind us that our salvation is entirely based on Jesus' power and willingness to save...not on the quality and strength of our faith or our worthiness. It all begins and ends with Jesus...and thanks be to God for that!…

John preached from 2 Corinthians on the mysterious and powerful work God does in our lives through affliction. We heard how God is present and brings comfort in the midst of our afflictions, that He uses affliction to grow us and turn us into comforters of the afflicted around us, and that his power is often on full display in affliction. This week, as hard as it may be or as strange as it may sound, take a moment to thank God for the afflictions in your life, knowing that He is specifically at work in them and will bring about good.…

But He knows that He is leaving soon, and they will still need help to understand what He has taught them. They will need the Helper.

June 27, 2021 - THE WORLD WILL HATE YOU 50:37

för 4 years sedan50:37

50:37

Gospel of John - John 15.18-20 Jobey McGinty Much of Jesus' ministry on earth was dedicated to showing His disciples a "different way" to live, one which stands in stark contrast, and often opposition, to what they see in both the secular and religious worlds around them. At this point in the Gospel of John He levels with them, noting that living this different life will not gain them friends and will cause the world to hate them. They were probably surprised, however, to see just how much of that hatred came from within the church itself. Jesus has the same warning for us modern day believers...following Him will often put us at odds with both the secular world and many in the church itself, across the political and religious "left to right" spectrum. This same hatred was directed at our Savior, himself, however and our response, therefore, should be the same as His...to do the will of the Father and to bring a message of truth and love to a world that is desperate for both.…

för 4 years sedan42:52

42:52

Gospel of John - John 15.12-17 Jobey McGinty If we're honest with ourselves, Jesus' teachings from John 15 can leave us (and, no doubt, the disciples themselves) feeling called to a life that's impossible to live. We are to love and be kind to those that hate us, and to never give up on those we are so tempted to see as hopeless causes. And just in case some of us feel like we're doing those things well, Jesus commands us to be perfect like the God, Himself, is perfect! Thankfully, we are not left to our own strength to live this "impossible" life. Instead, God models the kind of love He requires by sacrificially loving you and I, His enemies, first. He then sends His Spirit to live within us with all of His infinite resources. He chooses us and appoints us to the life and work He calls us to. And to cap it all off, He calls us His friends.! So instead of seeing the call to perfect love and service as a hopeless, discouraging endeavor, we see a God who chooses us to do the work, prepares the work ahead of time, promises to bless it, and then calls us to simply abide in Him and watch what He does through us.…

för 4 years sedan53:17

Gospel of John - John 15.1-11 Jobey McGinty We see throughout the Bible a consistent focus on God receiving glory. From our human perspective this can feel arrogant and conceited. After all, would any of us want to spend much time around another human being who is only interested in glorifying themselves? But it's different for God...His glory truly is the most valuable thing in all of the Universe, and He knows that when all of Creation, including each of us, are pursuing His glory then there is peace and prosperity as a result. In this portion of the Gospel of John, God gives us some insight into how we can best bring Him glory, and it's not by through self-righteous effort...it's by bearing fruit. When we abide in the True Vine, we WILL produce good fruit. God WILL get the glory, others WILL be blessed by our fruitfulness, and what do we get? The JOY of the Lord!…

Gospel of John - John 15.1-11 Jobey McGinty This past Sunday we looked at what is needed for believers to bear lasting Kingdom fruit. Our human nature leads us to action plans, checkboxes, self-righteousness and looking elsewhere, away from Jesus, for our strength. But living a fruitful Christian life is not about our effort, it's about our identity...our membership in the body of Christ, the True Vine. Grapes don't grow out of a branch that's laying on the ground, close to the vine. The branch must be attached, with the vine's life coursing through it. Similarly, true Kingdom fruit won't come from someone just because they spend time in church or know what's written in the Bible. We must be grafted into the His body...we must draw our strength only from Him in order to bear fruit. The call is simple, but difficult...die to yourself, give up on your own plans, be grafted into Jesus, the True Vine...and then stay there. Abide. And watch how God will bring forth the fruit!…

Not the branches that DON'T bear fruit (though He does take those away!), but the branches that DO! Why? So that there would be more and lasting fruit to come. It is for our joy, and for our roots to grow deep and strong so that they can support more fruit later. We would do well to receive the pruning and discipline of the Lord and entrust ourselves to His ways. When we allow ourselves to be pruned by the many people in our lives that love us, we are letting ourselves be cared for and set up for a future filled with bearing fruit that remains.…

Gospel of John - John 14.15-24 Jobey McGinty Do you struggle with obeying God? Do you want to do a better job following Him? How do we go about doing a better job being obedient to His commands? The answer might surprise you, because it has nothing to do with "trying harder" or "being more strict" with this or that. The answer is "love Jesus." He says, "if you LOVE Me, you will obey My commandments." If a husband loves his wife, he will want to honor her. If he does not love his wife, but simply knows that adultery is wrong, he may "try harder" to honor her, but it won't last long or be very effective. The solution is to fall more in love with his wife. It is the same with Jesus; we will follow Him if we truly love Him.…

Gospel of John - John 14.8-14 Jobey McGinty We sometimes think of God's work being accomplished in the world through grand, significant acts done by missionaries, famous speakers, theologians, full-time pastors, etc. But we forget that for the majority of Jesus' life, He was none of these...His formal ministry didn't even begin until He was about 30. Clearly Jesus was serving and ministering to those around him prior to that, while working in construction and living amongst His friends and family. So how would Jesus live if He had the life you do now? With your job, and friends and family...warts and all? Would He pray that God would give Him a change of scenery? Would He ask for change in those around Him to make His life a little easier? Or would He go about His Father's business, serving and loving those around Him, right where they were? Today, as you look at the life God has given you and the people He has placed around, pray for His work to be done in and through you and that others would be blessed as a result.…

One follower, Judas, walked away from the light and into the night. Another, Peter, acted with bravado, yet cowered in fear. Jesus even told Peter that, despite his boldness, he was only one step away from being cut down by Satan himself. The only thing that keeps Peter's faith alive isn't Peter, but is Christ. God's grace gives us strength to continue as He lovingly restores us even after denial. So long as we love the light (even if imperfectly), we can know that Christ is working in us.…

Gospel of John - John 13.1-20 Jobey McGinty When we read about Jesus washing the feet of His disciples, it's easy to view this through a modern, sterile lens and to minimize the humility this act of service required. This was not a pleasant job, however, as the sandaled feet of travelers at the time would have been likely covered with all sorts of dirt, grime, animal feces...you name it! And when we step back and remember that this is not "just" a man washing the dirty feet of his friends...this is the living God, serving his enemies. Those that were soon to betray him, and those that had lived lives contrary to His law...and even us. In doing so, Jesus models the type of service He expects from His followers. We may not agree with the viewpoints, behavior or attitudes of those that God brings into our lives, but He calls us to love and serve them, as He has loved and served us, with grace, generosity and sacrifice. Thankfully His Spirit comes alongside us and provides all that we can't!…

How horrible would you feel to get to the end of the semester only to find out that your efforts weren’t good enough and you had failed! In life, however, the Bible is very clear about what God requires and that the “good enough” mark is well beyond what any of us can attain. Thankfully, there is good news for those of us who have fallen short, and the message of Easter is one of hope. Not hope that we can get our act together…not hope that we can somehow boost our efforts and make the grade…but hope in Jesus, the Son of God who was Good Enough!

But In those footsteps, He gives help: "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me."

Gospel of John - John 12.1-11 Jobey McGinty What does a reasonable response to God look like? Living a good, moral life? Trying our best? Serving others? Though all of these responses may seem reasonable, proportion matters. God has given us everything, and through Jesus He has purchased even our eternal life. The only reasonable response, then, is to give Him everything. However, we often live unconvinced that God has actually forgiven us of much. We either think we're already pretty good and have earned His favor, or we think our sin is too bad (or too current) for Him to totally forgive. And because of that, our response to Him is not full, but it is half-hearted and weak. When we come to realize the truth that God pursues us even in our sin, it changes how we respond to Him.…

Often, we make assumptions about God and about suffering. In this story, Jesus' own disciples, when they happened upon a man who was born blind, asked, "why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sin, or the sins of his parents?" Their question reveals their assumptions, but Jesus says "neither," and offers a third way. He says that his suffering had meaning and purpose, and that it was mean to "display the work of God in him." Suffering and trials and hardships have purposes and meaning.

We can find and have peace even amidst the chaos and confusion and uncertainty of life. We find this when we learn how to "rejoice in the Lord." We don't rejoice "in our circumstances," but we can rejoice THROUGH our circumstances if we learn how to rejoice "in the Lord" in the midst of our circumstances. This sermon is for you.…

WORKSHOP: If You Bite and Devour One Another - Chapter 1 55:47

Join me as I walk though the main points in these workshop style videos going through Alexander Strauch's book, "If You Bite and Devour." This book, based on Galatians 5.15 which tells us as Christians that "if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another," is a rich resource of Scripture and biblical wisdom to help us to not give in to the desire to act in un-Christlike ways when we find ourselves in disagreements with others.…

December 6, 2020 - COMMITTING TREASON AGAINST GOD 43:44

43:44

Advent: War and Peace, Isaiah 9.6, 7 Jobey McGinty Independence results in separation. Sometimes independence is good, such as a teen moving out of the house and becoming responsible, or a people coming out of the oppression of a nation or other people group. But there is always a separation. Throughout human history, man has time and time again declared independence from God. Instead of coming under His sovereign guidance, wisdom, and Word, we instead become determined to do things according to what is right in our own eyes. We follow our own hearts and make our own law and rules. In this declaration and action of independence, we commit treason and become separated from God. If we desire to be reunited with Him, peace must be offered on His terms, not on ours. Thankfully, He desires peace with us, and has made a way. He Himself came to this earth and became our peace, and it is through Him and Him alone that we can have peace with God.…

Proverbs 4:20-27 Casey Barnes Taking words of wisdom into our hearts is vital. Words that we bring into our minds, the words we believe and entertain, all shape how we react and act in this life, and words of wisdom are like a wall of defense to protect us from going astray into sin. The wrong types of words we allow in, however, can serve as a breach in the wall. In this sermon, Pastor Casey walks us through many great truths that help keep us focused in on the promises of God and help us keep our eyes on our Savior. It is these truths that are stored in our hearts that keep us from sinning against our God.…

Gospel of John - John 1.6-13 Jobey McGinty God's Word tells us that “flesh and blood” aren’t able to reveal to us that Jesus truly is God. We can’t simply “see” this on our own, but it must be God who reveals it to us. Why is this the case? Spiritually, we are dead and blind, and like how a physically dead man can’t see or understand physical things, a spiritually blind man can’t see or understand spiritual things. A dead man must be raised, and not by his own power, but by an outside power. Being declared “not guilty” is God’s mercy. But being called “adopted” and made spiritually alive is His grace. We must understand that the day we are adopted, everything changes.…

Gospel of John - John 1:1-5,14 Jobey McGinty The opening line of any written work (a book, email, opening arguments of a trial) sets the tone for everything that follows. Sunday, we began a journey into the Gospel of John, and John (an eyewitness and close friend of Jesus') begins with an explosion of declaration from all that he witnessed over three years, and what he maintained as a witness for the next 60+ years until his death: God came to the earth in the Person of Jesus, that you and I could know Him and have true life through Him. He is the Man who is God. God's very own Word became a human being. In other words, God's heart, desires, character became the exact imprint of God in the Person of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1.3). He did this because He is a God who desires that we would know Him, so that we could have forgiveness and be reconciled with Him forever. He is, indeed, a God that pursues.…

But how do we know where the line is, what the standard is? Are we just hoping to make the cut? Or is there a way we can truly know if we are "good enough." The bad news is that God's Word makes it clear: He is the standard, and all of us fall short of "the cut." But Easter marks a day that we specifically celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And that resurrection gives us hope for our future, despite the fact that we do not make the cut.…

Because of this, we know we need not have any fear of our future, because the King of kings has set us apart for His Kingdom and called us to His mission.

But this week, we have to pivot, turn, and run rather quickly in a new direction, as we prepare ourselves how to look "offensively" as we take these circumstances head on for the sake of others around us.

So how do we fight and race well? And what do we do when we’ve gotten discouraged and started walking or have even left the race or the ring altogether? We start by remembering who God is, what He’s done for us and who we are now in Him. And then, we get back up and start training.

We either drift like a raft, being pushed along by circumstances or emotions or convenience, or we charge through challenges like a speed boat, only to run out of gas or overheat as we work in our own strength, or we can be a sail boat.

We ought to be the kind of people who don't spend our live how we want, but rather have Jesus invest our lives how He wants. But being a "blank check" for Christ looks wasteful, and even foolish: spending time, money, and resources on other people, for the Kingdom, for neighbors, and friends.

In this sermon, we see that Christ gives us an example of what it looks like to be either a wife lovingly and freely submitted in partnership with her husband, as well as a husband who lovingly and freely lays his very life down every single day for the wife that he has committed himself to.…

The Fight For Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 15.12-34 Jobey McGinty If Jesus didn't raise from the grave, both body and soul, Christians should be the people who should be most pitied. Without the resurrection, as humans we can only expect more of the same: death, sickness, poverty, loneliness, sin. But the resurrection is the first sign of something new, something better, and something filled with hope for a future that is currently hopeless.…

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 15.1-11 Jobey McGinty After challenging the Corinthians on a number of difficult issues, it seems Paul senses a need to pause from the weighty topics and remind them of their foundations in the Gospel. In the midst of busy lives, challenging circumstances and our own sin and doubts, we need this same reminder! The Gospel isn't just our starting point in the faith, it is what sustains and guides us throughout our lives, until the day Christ completes the work He began in us.…

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 11.2-16 Jobey McGinty Should women wear head coverings today? What was the purpose that they had in the 1st Century, and are there any modern equivalents? Many cultural practices act as sign posts or even guardians to more important principles. The practices themselves are not sacred and can change, but we must be thoughtful, wise, and careful about how, when, and if we choose to push back on cultural constructs. Indeed, it is wise and even good to do so at times (slavery, women's right to vote, etc.), but other times it takes more care and consideration for what the collateral affect might be.…

We are constantly needing to identify and fight the idolatries in our heart, and they are myriad. In this sermon, we go Idol Hunting, aiming to locate and attack the idols that sneak into us, rob us of joy, deteriorate relationships, and steal worship from God.…

In other words, we are to speak the truth, but speak it in love. One without the other is not enough.…

Yet he also does not allow them to take care of him. Why this contradiction? Why would he deny from them what he actually encourages? At the heart of both sides is Paul's desire for the clarity, integrity, and purity of Gospel preaching in churches. He desperately wants an unbiased, deep, healthy Gospel to be preached.…

We should ask, how do we fit our lives - marriage, singleness, hobbies, kids, work - into God's will and desire for our lives?

What do you think is meant by the statement, “there is only one way to escape God, and that is to run to Him”?

The Fight for Wisdom: 1 Corinthians 6.12-20 Jobey McGinty We very easily compartmentalize our physical life from our spiritual life. We convince ourselves that physical actions have no real affect on our spirituality. When it comes to sex and sexuality, we have a very permissive attitude, acting as if what we do with our bodies and our minds has no real consequence, that it's okay "as long as it's not hurting anyone" or "if it makes me happy." But this is not the case, and understanding the big picture of the beauty and glory of sex, marriage, and sexual union is the only thing that will help us understand the real problem of sexual sin.…

The Fight for Wisdom: 1 Corinthians 6.9-11 Jobey McGinty It is a tragedy when a Christian forgets his true identity. When we respond to life simply based on what is in front of us - the challenges, fears, anxieties, and conflicts - we don't act or operate as we should. We end up judging others and attacking others. We are constantly battling a forgetfulness of the Gospel, that we were once lost in darkness, but now destined for life.

för 7 years sedan53:23

The Fight for Wisdom: 1 Corinthians 5.1-13 Jobey McGinty One of the ways God shows His love to us is through disciplining us away from sin and towards godliness. And one of the ways He does that is through His people. But most of us insist upon our privacy and shut others out of being able to speak into our lives. When we do this, we put ourselves, and others, in danger. Paul has tough words for the church as they have skirted their responsibility of loving each other through tough but tender confrontation. How do we as a church not make this same mistake? How do we engage in church discipline in a way that brings honor to God and hope and health to the church, including the one living in unrepentant sin?…

When we build our lives with shoddy materials, people's spiritual lives are in danger. Christ is to be our foundation, but Christians often build on "additions" to the foundation to accommodate their preferences, sin, and do things their way. We need the wisdom of the Building Inspector to examine our work, help us tear down poorly built areas, and build with strong material on the foundation of Christ.…

Jobey McGinty, interviewing Leslie Salazar-Carillo, CEO Pathway Health Clinic In light of the new legislation passed in New York concerning abortion last week, we take time to look at the topic of abortion, specifically, how we who are pro-life respond to a culture that is ever-increasing in its promotion and allowance of shedding the blood of innocent lives. How does the every day Christian - a stay-at-home mom, a 9-5 employee, a high school student - those who may not know much about politics or consider themselves to be "activists," but who are both concerned yet also feel helpless, actually make a difference and be a part of the long term solution to save the lives of voiceless, defenseless babies? How do we also not act in arrogant judgement and engage in productive discussions and relationships with those we differ with? And, maybe most importantly, how do we care for the young women and couples who are facing difficult and life-changing decisions? Pastor Jobey also invites congregation member Leslie Salazar-Carillo, CEO of Pathway Health Clinic in Vista, CA, to share insights and great encouragement to the church as we learn to respond to a growing crisis.
