Life Mission Church

Every Day with Jesus - 2 Peter 1.3-15 Jobey McGinty In Peter’s last recorded letter, he emphasizes his passion and conviction to always be reminding believers of the Gospel. It is, in some ways, a pastoral “mission statement” for all leaders to constantly be reminding those in their lives of the important Gospel truths that keep us walking with Jesus daily. We, as believers, can easily become near...

Psalm 107 Jobey McGinty Psalm 107 compels us to vocalize God's steadfast love, both for our own souls and to encourage the church. We see four scenarios where people encounter God's grace: the lost wanderer, the isolated rebel, the suffering sinner, and the storm-tossed soul. Whether through aimless wandering, willful rebellion, self-inflicted suffering, or life's overwhelming storms, God's respon...

Christmas Eve, 2024 Jobey McGinty The Christmas narrative is fundamentally a declaration of war - a cosmic battle for dominion. God created a world overseen by man, but a rebellious force usurped that order, plunging humanity into a kingdom of sin and death. However, God initiated a divine rescue operation, promising a savior to redeem humanity from its self-inflicted treason. This was no vague pr...

Advent: I Will Draw Near to - John 1 Jobey McGinty The “Word of God” is both with God and is God. It is distinct, yet not an “it,” but a “He.” John tells us that Jesus is the Word of God, but before being revealed as “Jesus,” He was the invisible Word of God. God wanted to be known fully and intimately. Why is He the “Word” of God and not the hand, arm, or mouth? Our words come from us and are int...

Advent: I Will Draw Near to You - Malachi 4.4-6 Jobey McGinty At the close of the Old Testament, God leaves His people in suspense for 400 years before the arrival of John the Baptist and Jesus. During this period, significant events unfolded, such as the Maccabean Revolt led by Judas Maccabaeus against the Seleucids. And when the curtain opens on the New Testament, we again find Judea under occup...

Advent 2024: I Will Draw Near to You - Malachi 4:1-3 Tyler Willis This coming day when Jesus returns, and God's kingdom comes sounds amazing and it will be. It sounds miraculous, and it is. However, God is a Holy God. Our Father is perfect in everything, in every way, always. When he comes near sin, evil, unrighteousness…it is all consumed. And we are not holy! For those who fear Him, though, we d...

Advent 2024: I Will Draw Near to You - Malachi 3.13-18 Jobey McGinty We often think that simply confessing our sins is the same as true repentance. But God calls us to a deeper level of heart transformation. True repentance involves a reverential fear of the Lord, a fear that leads us to honor and glorify Him in every aspect of our lives. As we surrender our hearts to God, He refines us through tr...

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi 3.6-12 Jobey McGinty "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." This message, whether coming from Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew or God through the prophet Malachi, remains consistent throughout the Bible. It serves as both a caution and a promise, a statement of fact and a guide for those seeking to draw near to God. To find where your heart tr...

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi 2.17-3.5 Jobey McGinty It is common to wonder about God’s apparent absence amidst tragedy, hardship, and atrocities across the globe...why evil people seem to prosper and go unpunished. We must remember, however, God's perspective and understanding infinitely more complete than ours, and while we are often very quick to focus on the evil around us that requires j...

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi2.10-16 Jobey McGinty God’s people ignored His ways, and their “smaller sins” grew into “bigger sins.” We must remember that our sin, as well, has no desire to stay “small,” but rather is always looking for ways to grow and take command. It wants to thrive and be in control. So what is our response? First, we must admit our sin...to God and those trusted "iron sha...

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi 2.1-9 Jobey McGinty “Covenant” isn’t a word we often use in our relationships, but a covenant is what frames up God’s relationship with His people. It is a commitment built up on relationship, which is why we call it the “covenant of marriage.” It is not simply a contract or formal business agreement, but a relational commitment on both sides for mutual benefit....

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi 1.6-14 Jobey McGinty God's desire is for our hearts, not just our stuff. He's not interested in our leftovers or second-best offerings. Instead, He wants us to give Him our all, cheerfully and generously. Far too often we cling to "our" time, money, possessions, comfort, convenience as though it is ours, and not given to us by our Father. And when He asks for us...

Malachi: Draw Near to Me - Malachi 1.1-5 Jobey McGinty This is our story. We have been loved by God. Even when we doubted and questioned His love, He remained steadfast. He chose us, not because of our worthiness, but because of His great mercy. Like the Israelites in Malachi, we may face trials and hardships, but we must remember that God is with us. He has promised to rebuild our lives and resto...

Tyler Willis The Christian life is a journey and a race...a marathon which will last our entire lives. Along the way, we will face many challenges, but with Christ's help, we can overcome any obstacle. God calls us to love and serve those around us as we run the race and, in so doing, we will leave a lasting legacy pointing to God's mercy, provision and grace.

Jobey McGinty We all want to be remembered well...remembered for our kindness, how we've used our gifts to love and serve those around us. This kind of legacy, however, takes intentional work...practice...good reps! We don't just drift into holiness, however; we drift into laziness. This world is also filled with distractions and temptations which will help pull us away from holiness. With God's h...

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 29* Jobey McGinty *Acts 29 doesn't actually exist in the Bible...but in a way, we are the living continuation of the story of Acts in the Bible. This is our story, the story of how God’s love continues to spread through us. We are part of a long line of believers who have passed down the light of faith from generation to generation. Just like our ancestors, we have a...

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 28.25-31 Jobey McGinty This passage encourages us to live out our faith boldly and faithfully, even when it's difficult. It reminds us that our ministry doesn't end when with us; it can have eternal consequences for those around us. We are called to be witnesses for Christ, even if it means sacrificing our comfort or reputation. We can plant seeds of the gospel in the...

Acts: Saved to be Sent - Acts 28.14-24 Jobey McGinty As we share the gospel with those around us, it can be really difficult to remain patient and hopeful that the good news will sink in and take root...especially after we've seen it fall on deaf ears and hard hearts for a long time. But we must remember that where God is involved there is always a chance . No one is ever beyond His reach. We must...
