When we discuss the Gospel (“Good News”) of Christ Jesus in simple terms, most of us will share the historical, physical events it entails: Jesus lived a moral life, died on the cross, and rose from the dead. These are nonnegotiable essentials to the good news, and yet, there’s so much more! What are the supernatural realities behind all of these events? What is the theology of the Gospel? To supp...

Everyone knows the saying, “practice what you preach.” To not do so would earn a certain unsavory label, and yet, too many who claim to know God and His Gospel still live lives disconnected from an ethic derived from God. Why is it so vital that the way we live aligns with what we believe? God’s word answers this for the Christian: biblically ethical good works both accord with and adorn the Gospe...

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a clear composition of truths that secure the rescue and restoration of every human being who receives those truths by faith as revealed in God’s word. Yet, what are we to do with those who carry the banner of Christ but teach claims that nullify, contradict, add to, or subtract from the truths of the Gospel? How are we to deal with deceivers? Join us as we discover w...

When the Gospel reaches a new town or city, and people receive it by faith, begin their discipleship to Jesus, and start to be transformed, what’s the next step for that local church? Appoint those who have been and are being shaped inside and out by God to positions of overseeing the local body of believers… appoint Gospelized Leaders.

What does it look like when someone's life has been gospelized, when their convictions about God, themselves, and the world are aligned with the good news revealed in Christ Jesus? As we start our new series through Paul’s letter to Titus, we will be challenged to discover the positions He’s called us to, His unique purposes for us, and His promises that are the foundation for our hope.

Living godly lives with Christ in this wilderness world, which provides no true sustenance and can often bring us to critical moments that remind us of our weakness, requires way more than self-willed determination and the latest lifehacks. Only one thing provides us with all that we need for and enables us to live Christ-like, God-exalting lives — God's free, daily GRACE. To support this ministry...

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Now more than ever, we’re told to make our lives as loud as possible with busyness, productivity, and influence, or we’re lulled to idle, silent sleep by the American Dream or our poor habits, not realizing there is power and peace to be found in a life marked by basic habits of rest, reflection, and health. Is it your ambition to lead a quiet life? To support this ministry, visit www.waynesborofm...

"The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention. Therefore the Lord brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and bound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon. And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. He prayed...

At the end of John’s Gospel, Jesus answers the question we all needed the answer to: What about Peter? He had denied even knowing Jesus three times during Jesus’ most critical hour… what would Jesus do with Peter? To our amazement, He offers Peter what he offers us in our failures: reaffirmed love and restored purpose. To support this ministry, visit www.waynesborofm.com/give http://www.waynesboro...

Remember the day when Jesus called you to follow him? What you were struggling with, most guilty of, couldn’t see ever changing… remember what he saved you from and how much grace He offered you! No matter how far you fall, how cold your heart becomes, or how often you go and play in the mud, that same grace, motivated by that same love, that he held out to you back where it all began, He still ho...

"Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, 'Peace be with you.' When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.'"

Heartbreakingly, all humanity has a long track record of rejecting those sent by God to guide, counsel, exhort, or rule. When God shows up in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, the rightful and true King, offering citizenship and life in His invading kingdom, humanity behaves no differently. Instead of receiving His reign, they put their King on trial and cried for his crucifixion. This ultimately f...

"Then Pilate said to him, 'So you are a king?”'Jesus answered, 'You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth.
