Churchome With Judah Smith

Ever made a promise that you failed to keep? The accompanying guilt can easily make you feel like you deserve second best. But Jesus showed his followers that, even in their failure, he wants to give them the very best and he wants the same for you.

Do you ever feel that life is throwing problems your way before you have time to recover? Jesus knew his followers would face hardship and he didn't promise them escape, but he promised a foundation for them to stand on through each crisis.

Every day brings plenty of reasons to worry. But Jesus would not have said 'do not worry' if He didn't already have a plan and purpose for you. In this message, Chelsea will show how to learn from Jesus and replace worry in your life with wonder.

Do you ever feel like you're better than others? We're told not to compare, but it's difficult to meet that standard. In this message, we can learn from Jesus how to change our perspective, avoid this pitfall, and stay desperate for God.

Have you ever paused to consider the concept of rest and sleep? It's a bit confusing in our country. Is it good, bad, a strength or weakness? Some of us often feel shame admitting you're tired. Listen to this message on Jesus teaching about rest.

Religion and Christianity may seem complex. But one thing will always be simple — though not always easy to remember — the main reason to gather as a church family is to remember and review who Jesus is, what he did, and what he is now doing.

If you wonder what God would say, do, or respond in any situation, you don't need to look any further than Jesus. In the Bible, Jesus says, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." Here are 3 specific reasons supporting this claim.

Have you ever struggled with being indecisive? One of the big reasons you may feel this way now is how challenging life has been the past few years. But one of the most important decisions you can make in life is deciding what you really want.

If you've ever felt like you're not talented enough, strong enough, smart enough, or courageous enough, you're not alone. Through Jesus' story we see that He wants to meet you where you're at and help you see that He is enough so we don't have to be.

What are you worried about today? What may be giving you anxiety? It’s easy to feel stuck in problems. But God is present with you today. No matter what you’re facing here and now, God wants to help you overcome.

Jesus is the ultimate path to truth. When we live on our own path, often based out of self will, we tend to harbor unforgiveness and frustration. However, when we follow Jesus' truth, in God's way, we experience peace and joy beyond life's circumstances.

On this day of resurrection, we remember the ultimate gift solely by Jesus giving up his life. God loves us despite any rules we follow, our efforts, our goodness, the information we know, or the ceremonies we take part in. In fact, none of that matters to him. Jesus died and rose again, so that we'd come to him as we are - not by what we do.

Do you find yourself stuck, in bondage, or marked by failure? It’s all too easy to think you have to strive or fight to get out of that position. But Jesus wants to set you free now. Not because of your discipline or focus or anything you’ve done; it’s because he loves you deeply and unconditionally and his grace will always be enough for you.

When we feel like life has lost meaning and purpose, some of it might be connected to a misunderstanding of what the truth actually is. The real truth does not lie in this world, but from God outside of it. He's not of this finite realm, however, he lives hand-in-hand with us as we navigate it. When we turn to God and what Jesus has done for us, we learn what our truth really is.

Jesus is our provision.

It's simple: the more we know, the less we rely on Jesus. Too much knowledge can develop a "know-it-all" attitude for anyone, but sometimes Jesus asks us to put our knowledge aside in order to be open, humble, and to rely on him for answers.

Jesus is alive in you.

Some of us can be set in our ways on how we approach life and our relationship with God. Those ways can lead to striving, stress and exhaustion; even climbing our own hypothetical trees to be closer to Jesus, just as Zacchaeus once did. But Jesus wants us to hurry down those trees for a deeper relationship and dependence on him.

One of the greatest promises for Jesus followers is the power of presence. No matter what circumstances you find yourself in, Jesus’ final promise was that He would always be with us. This is the antidote that we can lean into for so much fear and anxiety.
