Neighborhood Church - Overcomes Cultural Barriers Part 2

Neighborhood Church - Overcomes Cultural Barriers Part 2

When you explain, boldly and courageously, what Jesus has done in your life, people are often intrigued. It’s a great place to start telling others about Jesus and the way to salvation. But, it’s so important to go one step further, Pastor Jimmy encourages you today. After proclaiming the name of Jesus, invite them to respond. Ask them if they’d like to put their faith in Jesus. Invite them to meet you at your church. Encourage them to read the bible and seek God through prayer. Give them a chance to take a step of faith.

There’s a strategy that some Christians use to try to convince others to believe in Jesus - they hate them because of their sin and convince them they’re going to hell unless they believe. Well, today, Pastor Jimmy will encourage you to try a different way. Instead of showing hatred and condemnation, show unbelievers love, kindness, and hope. When you meet someone in their sin and shame, and offer Jesus, you’re shining light in their darkness. You don’t have to condone their sin but lovingly show them a way out.

In this world, you’ll face trouble as a believer, the bible declares. Every culture resists the truth of God’s words and those who stand for it. And for the church to survive and thrive its people need to be willing to stand firm in faith and resist the sway of culture Pastor Jimmy explains today. It’s easier to go with the culture, it’s much harder to go against it and obey Jesus. Because when you do, you’ll face trouble and trials. But stand firm on Jesus. Cling to His word. Change the culture by showing the way of Jesus.

Governments, cultural movements, and religious groups have all tried for centuries to stamp out the Christian movement. And no matter how hard anyone tries to destroy Christianity, they can’t. Today, Pastor Jimmy will explain how the small, early church has lasted and grown through the ages. One of the most fundamental and important things that has helped the church to stand is its belief and trust in the bible. The Bible informs the church’s mission in this world and the decisions they make.

Neighborhood Church - Called to Clarity

Neighborhood Church - Called to Clarity

Salvation is not based on what you do at all. What you do will be influenced by your salvation - not the other way around. This has been an area of controversy since early on in the Church. Jewish Christians assumed that following the law was as important as believing in Jesus, and tried to push that on the Gentiles, but the Holy Spirit revealed a different truth. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will clarify that salvation simply comes through believing in Jesus as your Savior - no other requirements or conditions.

Neighborhood Church - Propelled to Speak

Neighborhood Church - Propelled to Speak

In our world, there’s heavy pressure to just stay silent as Christians. Our media and culture sneer at us and act like we’re crazy to believe what we believe. We want to show grace as we encounter this oppression, but we also know that we’ve encountered a truth that needs to be shared. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will explore the balance of truth and grace - they go hand in hand with each other. Grace cannot withhold life-saving truth, but we need divine help to deliver it with grace.

Have you been hurt by the Church or a person in the Church? That can be hard to bounce back from. This group of believers represents Jesus, but all too often, we don’t look anything like Him in how we treat people. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will point out that those feelings are completely valid. We’re a flawed representation of Jesus. Like an amateur musician trying to play a masterpiece, we’re going to hit bad notes - but it doesn’t make the piece itself any less beautiful or brilliant.

Jesus is radically inclusive. Throughout the Gospel accounts we see that demonstrated in how He treated the sinners and outcasts He encountered. Did He approve of their actions? Did He approve of Judas and the role he would play in his life? He knew that Judas’ would be used in the plan of salvation, but He didn’t approve of his sin. Yet, He called him to follow Him and He included him at his table. As Pastor Jimmy will challenge us in today’s message we need to model that same inclusivity in the Church.

Have you ever had someone in your life like Pastor Jimmy’s grandma? Someone who makes you feel wanted and welcome no matter what? What a beautiful example of the love of Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will challenge us to foster that kind of love in the Church. When people come into the doors, will they feel like an outsider or will they be welcomed with open arms and treated like they’re valued and loved? Our Savior loves them and wants to save them - our hearts should clearly reflect that.

When Jesus was on earth, He showed the people of Israel hospitality, by teaching them the Word of God, healing the sick, and loving them. People in today's generation fail to serve and be generous to others. Pastor Jimmy discusses today, how you can show hospitality to others. As a Christian, you can demonstrate Jesus' love to those around you by serving them and assisting them in their needs. You don't need any special skills or resources to serve; you can show hospitality with whatever you have!

Serving others is very important in our lives. You could be serving your country as a military member or even cooking dinner for your family. But do you know how important serving is in the Christian life? Pastor Jimmy tells you in today's message how God has chosen you to serve in this world. When Jesus arrived on earth, His sole mission was to serve the people. God has called you to a mission as a Christian. He has called you to serve Him by sharing the Gospel with those who do not know Jesus.

In our daily lives, we enjoy making excuses. As laziness takes hold of us, we begin to make excuses to avoid any work that is assigned to us. Even if you are a believer, when God calls you to a mission, you may begin to make excuses to Him, telling Him about things or qualities you lack for the job. Pastor Jimmy explains in today's message, how you can serve God with what you have. You may believe you lack the resources or qualities to serve God, but God desires that you serve Him, with what you have!

Do you feel pressured and scared when people have high expectations of you? When you face high expectations at work or in a relationship, you may become nervous. Even if you are a believer, you may believe that Jesus has high expectations of you. Pastor Jimmy discusses today, how Jesus wants you to begin with what you have. You might have no idea what God wants you to do. But you can begin by showing compassion to those around you, and care for their needs, just as Jesus does for you!

In our world today, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by all the pain and suffering that exists around us. No matter where we turn, there is something that seeks to drag us down. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy wants you to know that Jesus has a place for you and has always had a place for you in Heaven. Take the inheritance that is yours and give everything you have to Him.

If you’re trying to help someone who’s drowning, you can’t let them keep hanging on to the heavy weight that’s pulling them under. The deception of our enemy has led many to believe that we need to tolerate sin in order to save the lost. As Pastor Jimmy will clarify in today’s message, this is counterproductive. Sin is the very thing that people need to be saved from, and if we aren’t willing to call it out - with a spirit of humility and love - we’re allowing people to continue down a path of destruction.

When we experience blessings in this life, it can be easy to look heavenwards with gratitude and praise Jesus as our Lord and Savior. At that moment, you feel hope and joy in an overwhelming way. But, as Pastor Jimmy will challenge us to ask in today’s message, what about when things are down? Is He your King in those moments? Will you submit to Him even when it seems like it’s costing you more than it’s helping you? That’s the true test of faith for each of us as we follow Jesus in this world.

In our daily lives, we are frequently distracted. Even the simplest things, such as work or a relationship, can cause us to become distracted. The enemy is always looking for ways to divert our attention away from God. Pastor Jimmy explains how to avoid all distractions that the enemy throws at you in today's message. You may find that the people around you are a source of distraction at times. All you have to do is keep your distance from them and maintain your relationship with God in every situation.

We do face many challenges in our lives. We frequently make mistakes, whether at work or in relationships and end up in a bad situation. Even our adversary, Satan, is constantly on the lookout for ways to bring us down physically, mentally, and emotionally by throwing trials at us. Who can we turn to for help? Pastor Jimmy explains how Jesus is the solution to all of your problems in today's message. You can begin to rely on Him in any difficult situation because nothing is impossible for Jesus!

Wow. That cuts right to the heart. If you put yourself in that place, with a spouse who continues to go through all the motions, but has let their love grow cold - you can only go on for so long that way. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy asks you to examine your own heart. Have you become like a disenchanted lover in your relationship with Jesus? You go to church, sing the songs, and shake some hands, but you’ve lost your passion for the Gospel of redemptive love that freed your soul from the slavery of sin?
