Sundays with Jesus House

Transformation and freedom in Christ was never meant to end with us. As we are transformed by the renewing of our minds, God begins to transform what burdens us, how we see others, and how we live on mission in His Kingdom. Just as Paul longed for others to experience the freedom he had found in Jesus, we too are called to testify of the One who brought us from death to life. Empowered by the Holy...

One theological distinction worth preserving: God's call to holiness remains, but loving Him is not something we postpone until we've achieved it. Our love and surrender are part of how He transforms us.

True transformation begins from the inside out. In Romans 12:2, Paul reminds us that a changed life requires a renewed mind. What we continually allow into our hearts and minds shapes our beliefs, influences our decisions, and ultimately directs our lives. We cannot step into a new future while remaining captive to old patterns of thinking. Through God's Word and the power of the Holy Spirit, we c...

Our new position in Christ is not the end of our transformation, it is the beginning. Because we have been adopted into God's family, we don't work for His love and acceptance; we live and grow from it. Through the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, we experience progress as the flesh loses its grip and we become more like Jesus. And that progress eventually produces proof: visible spiritual fruit i...

New birth should lead to new life. In Romans 8, Paul reveals that transformation begins with understanding our new position in Christ. Through Jesus, we have been brought out of separation and adopted into God's family, not as slaves living in fear, but as beloved children with the privilege of knowing Him intimately. We no longer have to live from the perspective of our former identity. Because o...

God has not simply separated us from our former lives. He has set us apart for Himself and sent us into the world as people transformed and empowered by His gospel.

Romans doesn't simply show us how to be saved; it shows us what happens when the gospel begins transforming who we are and how we live. In Christ, we have been given a new identity, we are beloved, set apart, made righteous, and called saints. The question isn't simply, "Have I believed?" but "Am I being transformed?" Because the gospel that saves us is also the power of God to change us from the...

We all carry a past, hold onto things, and sometimes hide wounds that still need healing. God doesn't want us trapped by what happened yesterday or controlled by what we're carrying today; He wants to bring healing, freedom, and transformation. Sometimes we need to face what is behind us, release what we're holding, and bring what hurts into the light. Our past may be part of our story, but it doe...

The cross is more than a symbol of death—it is the promise of new life. But new life first requires death: the old self must be laid down, for we are not meant to carry what Christ has already carried. From there, new life requires formation—we are transformed as we behold Jesus, whose cross has never pointed to us, only to Him, resurrecting even the parts of us we thought were gone for good. And...

Psalm 22 takes us prophetically to the foot of the cross, revealing the abandonment Jesus experienced, the anguish He endured, and ultimately the victory He accomplished. What begins with the cry, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" ends with the declaration, "He has done it!" Jesus entered our suffering, carried our sin, defeated the enemy, and opened the way for us to become part of His...

Jesus didn't just go to the cross so we could be saved from our sin—He went to the cross so we could learn to follow Him. Discipleship is more than knowing about Jesus; it is getting close enough to Jesus that His character begins to shape our lives. The closer we walk with our Rabbi, the more His love, humility, compassion, holiness, and obedience should become visible in us. The cross invites us...

The cross is not merely the place where Jesus died, it is the center of God's redemptive story and the greatest demonstration of His love. Through Psalm 22, written a thousand years before Christ's crucifixion, we see a prophetic picture of Jesus becoming the Sin-Bearer as He cried, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" In that moment, Jesus experienced the abandonment our sin deserved so th...

The cross is more than the place where Jesus died for us, it is the way we are invited to follow Him. His cross is calling us to lay down what we thought would give us significance so that Christ can transform us from the inside out. As we surrender our appetites, our shame, and our earthly thinking, the cross becomes the place where God's power reshapes our hearts, renews our minds, and teaches u...

The Christian life is not learning to love more…it is becoming so convinced of God's love that love becomes your natural response. Everything in Scripture hangs on love, not as another command, but as the foundation for every command. Yet so many of us live with a gap between knowing God loves us and actually living like we're deeply loved. As we become rooted in the Father's love, our identity is...

In this message from the House By Design series, we look at Jesus' words in Matthew 5:9: "Blessed are the peacemakers." God's design for our homes is not surface-level peace, avoidance, or pretending everything is fine, but Spirit-empowered restoration. A peacekeeper avoids conflict to keep things comfortable, but a peacemaker faces conflict with truth, humility, forgiveness, and love. Through Chr...

"Behind the scenes, God is building what matters most." This message is a call to form Christ-centered homes and lives through humility, sincere love, and committed community. Pastor Josh Wellborn reminds us that what is seen on the outside is only as strong as what God is shaping within us — our dependence on Him, our love for difficult people, and our faithfulness to the body of Christ. A house...

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." This message is a call to build courageous, Christ-centered homes with vision, surrender, and perseverance. Pastor Adam challenges us to remove the idols competing for our hearts, embrace a strong "yes" to God, and keep moving forward even when life gets hard. A house that serves the Lord is not built by accident — it is built by daily obedience, c...

This message confronts the distorted pictures many people carry of God, especially when their view of the Father has been shaped by wounded experiences with earthly fathers, authority figures, or broken family dynamics. Through Scripture, we see that Jesus came to reveal the true heart of the Father. Because how we see God shapes how we follow Him, we must allow Jesus to heal our lens and restore...

Faith doesn't wait for perfect conditions; it responds to God's voice in the middle of the storm. Peter walked on water not because the waves stopped, but because Jesus said, "Come." Fear paints pictures of disaster, but faith fixes its eyes on Jesus and steps forward anyway. The greatest failure is not falling short; it's never getting out of the boat. God's invitation is simple: trust His Word,...

Every choice we make is shaping the story of our life and the culture of our home. In "Choices," we look at Joshua 24 and the call to choose whom we will serve, discovering that healthy lives and healthy homes are not built by accident, but through intentional daily decisions. Through Scripture, practical wisdom, and honest reflection, we explore five choices that shape our relationships: choosing...

Marriage was designed by God to be a covenant gift marked by unity, intimacy, and oneness. Yet, from the very beginning the enemy has worked to divide what God joined together. In this message, we explore Genesis 2–3 and James 1 to uncover how shame, offense, anger, and self-protection slowly cover over the gift of covenant relationship. Through the conviction and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we d...

Every life is being built one decision at a time, and storms have a way of revealing what was hidden beneath the surface all along. In this message, we explore Jesus' words in Matthew 7 alongside the intentional rebuilding found in Ezra to discover that strong lives are not built accidentally, but intentionally. God cares deeply about foundations, details, and hidden construction because what is u...

What foundation are you building your life on? In "House by Design," we explore how obedience to Jesus creates stability in every storm and why healthy homes are built intentionally, not accidentally.

This message invites us to move from simply believing in Jesus to truly following Him. Storms will come, and what we build our lives on matters. Jesus shows us that endurance and maturity are shaped by what we fix our eyes on. When life gets heavy, He invites us to look at the birds, trust the Father, surrender daily, and choose to get closer to the cross.
