    A Jesus-Shaped Life | Get a Life - April 14, 2025
    Last week, we asked: What’s shaping your love? This week, we’re asking: What kind of life are you living?

    Joel and Tracy walk through Philippians 1:12–30, where Paul—writing from prison—shows us what it means to live fully for Jesus. His bold witness, even in chains, reminds us that the gospel can’t be stopped. Life isn’t about titles or comfort—it’s about trust, courage, and surrender.

    💡 Highlights of the Message:
    • Life’s fullness is found in following Jesus• Faith grows deeper in the middle of pressure• God uses ordinary situations to reveal His purpose
    The Cross is the “now” point in the whole river story—it’s where surrender meets grace, and where we ask: Are we truly living like His sacrifice is enough?

    🎧 Tune in—and let Jesus define your life.

    Join us as Joel shares how Philippians 1:12–30 calls us to live a life shaped by Jesus. Even while imprisoned, Paul doesn’t see defeat—he sees opportunity. His bold witness impacts those around him, including Roman guards, proving that the gospel can’t be chained. Some preach with wrong motives, but Paul celebrates that Christ is still being proclaimed.

    Joel reminds us that for Paul, “to live is Christ and to die is gain.” This perspective reframes both suffering and success, pointing us toward a life anchored in something deeper than titles or accomplishments. Believers are described as citizens of heaven—people marked by courage, unity, and unwavering faith.

    He uses a river as a picture of life in Christ—whether we’re floating in peace or battling the rapids, Jesus remains our steady center. This message invites us to stop asking “Why is this happening?” and begin asking “What is God doing?” It’s a call to realign our priorities, discover freedom in Jesus, and embrace every season with faith.

  • The Oil of the Holy Spirit

    The Oil of the Holy Spirit
    2025/03/26
    Join us as Heather shares a powerful reminder that the journey with the Holy Spirit doesn’t end—it begins. In this final message of The Oil series, she points us back to Jeremiah 33:3, where God invites us to call on Him with the promise of an answer. Heather explains that receiving oil from the Spirit isn’t a one-time moment, but a daily invitation to walk with God, to stay filled, and to stay soft. It’s not earned, it’s received in His presence.

    She reflects on how true worship is less about music and more about honest, face-to-face moments with God—moments where we surrender in stillness and let Him speak. Like the Tin Man in need of oil, our spirits can grow stiff without His presence. Heather encourages us not to strive, but to ask. God is ready to meet us.

    📖 In This Video, We Chat About:
    • Why we need the Holy Spirit’s oil daily
    • What real worship looks like beyond music
    • How stillness can lead to spiritual renewal

    Ready for the Bridegroom | A Mature Faith in an Age of Confusion
    2025/03/23
    Join us as Tracy shares a timely reminder to live ready—not later, but right now. Wrapping up the teaching series on the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, she reflects on what it means to keep our lamps full with oil, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Tracy highlights how oil—and spiritual maturity—can’t be rushed. It’s formed through time with Jesus, through surrender, trust, and consistent presence. This message isn’t about striving harder but about staying close. We’re invited to abide in Him, to hear His voice, and to allow His Spirit to shape who we’re becoming. Just like the wise bridesmaids couldn’t share their oil, we’re reminded that no one else can cultivate our relationship with Jesus for us. The call is personal and present. Now is the time to stay awake, live with intention, and walk in step with the Spirit—not out of fear, but out of deep love and joy for the One who’s already near.

    📖 In This Video, We Chat About:
    • Why oil represents the Holy Spirit in Scripture
    • What it means to “live ready” in our daily walk with Jesus
    • How abiding is different than striving

  • Ready... A Mature Faith in an Age of Confusion

    Ready... A Mature Faith in an Age of Confusion
    2025/03/16
    Join us as Tracy shares how the parable of the ten bridesmaids in Matthew 25:1-13 teaches us about spiritual readiness. This story reflects Jewish wedding traditions, showing that preparation isn’t about knowing when Jesus will return but about keeping our hearts ready for Him.

    All ten bridesmaids expected to celebrate, but only those with extra oil—often seen as the presence of the Holy Spirit—entered the feast. Tracy encourages us to stay spiritually alert through daily prayer, Scripture, and confession. She shares practical ways to cultivate readiness, like Sabbath rest, joining Discipleship Groups, and seeking inner healing through Celebrate Recovery.

    At its core, this message is an invitation to love Jesus as both Bridegroom and Judge. Our preparation isn’t about obligation but devotion, responding to His love with open hearts. The question remains—are our lamps full and ready for His return?

    📖 In This Video, We Chat About:
    • The significance of the parable of the ten bridesmaids
    • What it means to be spiritually prepared for Jesus’ return

  • Poured Out

    Poured Out
    2025/03/09
    Join us as Joel shares how living a “poured out” life allows others to see Jesus in us. He reflects on the woman who anointed Jesus with costly perfume in Matthew 26. Though some saw it as wasteful, Jesus recognized it as an act of love and devotion. This challenges us to consider what we are willing to give for Him.

    Joel uses the acronym P.O.U.R. backwards—Repentance, Openness to the Spirit, Unity in love, and Prayerful living—to show practical ways we can surrender our lives to God. Like Paul in Philippians 2:17, we are called to give ourselves away in service, generosity, and love. The question is: What can you pour out this week? Whether it’s time, resources, or a forgiving heart, sacrificial love reflects Jesus to the world.

    📖 In This Video, We Chat About:
    • The meaning behind the woman’s anointing of Jesus
    • How surrender and worship go hand in hand
    • Practical ways to live a “poured out” life

He highlights missionary Katy Barnwell’s quiet impact and how true anointing, as seen in Isaiah 61 and Luke 4, leads to surrender. Jesus’ mission wasn’t about avoiding suffering but fulfilling God’s plan. Like Him, we’re called to be poured out, not store up blessings for ourselves.
