5 Radical Shifts From Comfort to Compassion: How to Love Like Jesus

5 Radical Shifts From Comfort to Compassion: How to Love Like Jesus

We all love comfort. There’s a specific kind of “game changer” satisfaction in finally replacing a sixteen-year-old mattress with one that actually supports your soul. Or think about those modern reclining movie seats—the ones where you raise your feet, sink into the cushion, and have food brought directly to your side. In those moments, it feels like a slice of heaven. But here is the danger: Comfort can become a blindfold. Whether it’s physical ease, emotional safety, or financial security, our “sacred” comfort zones often blind us to the brokenness right outside our front door. To truly Love Like Jesus, we have to move from the safety of the recliner to the courage of kingdom-shaped compassion.

Spiritual Growth Is Not a Straight Line: 3 Powerful Truths on Trusting God’s Process

For many believers, the spiritual growth journey can feel like a performance review we are constantly failing. We feel a persistent pressure to achieve a perfect, straight-line progression toward holiness. When we inevitably stumble, a wave of discouragement washes over us, and we start to question if we’re making any real progress at all. This feeling of not measuring up is common, but it isn’t the truth of the gospel.

We live in a culture of constant striving. We chase promotions, curate our lives for social media, and search for a deeper sense of purpose, often feeling like we’re running on a treadmill that never stops without biblical life lessons. But what if the answers to our modern anxieties weren’t in a new productivity hack or a self-help bestseller, but in one of the oldest, most seemingly pessimistic books ever written?

None Like You: Experiencing God’s Glory in Exodus and Beyond

None Like You: Experiencing God’s Glory Through the Exodus

The “None Like You” sermon series illuminates the radiant splendor of God as revealed in Exodus chapters 13–15. Through the miraculous deliverance of Israel from Egypt, we see a God who orchestrates history not only to save His people but to display His glory. The parting of the Red Sea becomes more than a historical event; it is a vivid demonstration of God’s perfect character, a call to worship, and a profound lesson in faith.

The Power of God in Exodus: Plagues, Passover, and the Lamb of Redemption

The Power of God in Exodus: Lessons from the Plagues and the Passover

The story of the Exodus is one of the most powerful demonstrations of God’s sovereignty in the Bible. The Ten Plagues of Egypt and the institution of the Passover were not random events, but carefully orchestrated acts of divine judgment and deliverance. Each plague directly challenged Egypt’s false gods, proving that Yahweh alone is supreme.

Have you ever thought submission was outdated or even demeaning? Paula James flips that script in her Mother’s Day message, using the powerful words of James 4:7–8, 10 to show that submission to God isn’t about losing—it’s about gaining divine strength, protection, and purpose.
