We don't have a provision problem, we have a perspective on provision problem. Until we see whatever God has provided right, we'll never steward it right. In this second installment of FOR OTHERS we gain insights from 2 Corinthians 9 on how God sees provision and what we're do with what He provides.توسط Michael Baier

The calling of the Scripture is to live our lives FOR OTHERS. Jesus never told us to love ourselves, He assumed we would, and said to live for others with that same energy we live for ourselves with. In this foundational sermon to our FOR OTHERS series, we gain perspective on personal response to this call and are challenged to do one simple thing.…

The most twisted and skipped of all things Jesus said started being twisted immediately. From there, it's been contorted and/or skipped over for 2,000 years. But he said what he said, so let's lean in, eat his flesh and drink his blood, cause he said what he said.توسط Michael Baier

Jesus never promised us or called us to live without worry, but He challenged us all to make sure what we worry about it worthy of our worry. Lean in and let the Holy Spirit challenge you to direct your worry to those things worthy of your worry.توسط Michael Baier

Jesus said what He said to those who had a need. It's was simple and it was clear... I am able and I am willing. Lean in and let the promise of Jesus build your faith cause even when you have a need... He said what He said.توسط Michael Baier

Jesus was way more concerned with what's happening in us that how we seem to others. Problem is, most are obsessed with how they appear rather than who they are and who they are becoming. Lean into what He said when He said, "clean the inside" cause that's what matters.توسط Michael Baier

We've worked so hard to tell people about the grace of God that sometimes we've missed the call of God. The call to do, share, work, care, build, feed, love... in His name. Don't clip this, listen slow and let the Holy Spirit convict and call us forward cause Jesus didn't mince words, He said what He said.…

Jesus talked so much about life after you die... but it's not the afterlife that many get infatuated with. Sure, He talked about heave and hell and eternity and such, but where He really spent time was on that life after you die, here and now. Don't get it? You can. You will. Let's lean into His call to come and die and experience life after death.…

Jesus said some stuff we love... and some stuff we don't like. It's that stuff we don't like so much that we overlook, skip or water down. Nevertheless, he said what He said, like how He said to love your enemies. You know, them folk you hate. In this first sermon, we lean directly into Jesus' charge, catch the weight of what it means and most impo…

The freedom God gives us isn't just for us... it frees us to give for others, if we don't forget. Lean into this challenge and hear about some of the exciting things happening in and through BELIEVING as we live out the truth that the one who the Son sets free is free in deed.توسط Michael Baier

Forgiving. It's one of the hardest things for a human to do, but it's one of the necessary things for a Christian to do. Our calling isn't to do more forgiving. The calling is to lose count forgiving. Lean in and expereince the power of being free to forgive.توسط Michael Baier

You'll never be free as long as you allow shame to shape your story. Whether you feel riddled by shame or not, the truth is it has shaped our life and will continue to, until it's covered for good. You can live FREE INDEED even if there's shame on you.توسط Michael Baier

When Jesus sets you free, He doesn't just free you from something... He frees you for something. You are free to live, do and be for God, but walking in it's fullness comes down to one reality... are you concerned about the credit?

You can be free. Believe it or not, it's the promise of Jesus to all who believe. if He sets you free, you're free indeed... in a moment, no matter what. It was true for the most unlikely and it can be true for you. Experience His freedom, today, and be free indeed.توسط Michael Baier

When you know the protector, you won't worry about the problem. The issue for most is we know our problem better than we know our Protector. In this final installment, we're are encouraged and challenged from the faith of Psalm 121 to see God's protection in our own lives birthed out of a faith that follows Him.…

Psalm 23. The Psalmist makes a statement right off the rip that enables him to see God and walk with Him in a way many of us never experience. It's the first 5. Is it your first 5? Make his first 5 your first 5, today.توسط Michael Baier

Commands are not presented for consideration, but they're expected to be followed by the one who gave the command. Psalm 100 is a command to the follower of God because of who God is and all God has done. Listen. Take notes. Most importantly... follow the commands... cause you've been told.توسط Michael Baier

In this journey through a Psalm we take a look at a Psalm where the writer clearly is angry, prays some things we'd never pray... and then praises God in the end. Ya know, that's actually the whole point... that whatever you have and whatever you feel... you can take that to God. He can handle it. Actually, He can handle it best.…

There is protection, strength, rest and confidence found when you're close to God. That's the testimony and the promise of Psalm 91 and one you need to receive in your life today. Come closer to God. Come to the secret place.توسط Michael Baier

Success is the stumbling block that struggle is imagined to be. So when things are good and times are happy, success tells you to stop showing up cause you don't need God and can do it your own way, but as people of faith we must KEEP SHOWING UP to see the full breakthrough that God has for us.توسط Michael Baier

Jesus is not what you're hoping for. This is the reality some of his followers had the boldness to express on the first Easter Sunday. They'd hoped for something different than what He was and they missed who He was. Maybe that's you. You're missing Jesus because He ain't what you hoped for... but we've got good news, He's better.…

Easter Week begins with Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem that is catapulted by a silent yes from some people who had what the Lord needed. It's their "yes" that ushered in the Savior of the world and it's our "yes" that ushers Him to those near to us and far from God. Open your heart today and let your heart be open to what the Lord may need from you…

Most of us live thinking we're our boss, but that's not what the Scripture teaches. Romans 6 shows us that our boss is either Jesus or sin. That's it. Lean in to this teaching as Isaac Johnson helps us figure out who our boss really is.توسط Isaac Johnson

Our calling to the place God has us to work and watch over comes with responsibilities... to our words, to our work and to our witness.

In this installment, we catch the heart of God to leave the 99 and pursue the 1... cause "it's personal".…

TIL MEMPHIS LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN.…

As a believer, you have a calling. That calling isn't to make it to heaven when you die, that's your reward. You have a calling to work and watch over wherever God places you. To be here for good wherever your "here" is. Lean in as we discover that caring for our city is more than a civic responsibility but a Christian calling "til Memphis looks li…

If you are going to live PLANTED NOT BURIED, you better get ready for the opposition. See, too often people face opposition and believe it's God saying stop... don't... quit... but what if it's not?

The second verse of HARK! is a bit surprising... at least to those looking for holly and jolly... it's all a theological explanation of the incarnation. On the surface, that doesn't seem very Christmas... but what if it is? What if getting this is the first step to believing that God gets you. Cause He does. Lean in and let this encouragement bring…

Jesus extended an invitation to a devoted young man who was too consumed with his stuff... join us. Today, He extends that same invitation to us.
