    REAL ID: Discovering the God-made Masterpiece You Really AreIntrinsically ValuedJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Hebrews 2:5-9 NIV Hebrews 12:1 NIV12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, Hebrews 2:5-9 NIV5 It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? 7 You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8 and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them. 9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. Psalm 8:1-9 NIVLord, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!You have set your glory in the heavens.2 Through the praise of children and infantsyou have established a stronghold against your enemies,to silence the foe and the avenger.3 When I consider your heavens,the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars,which you have set in place,4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,human beings that you care for them?5 You have made them a little lower than the angelsand crowned them with glory and honor.6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;you put everything under their feet:7 all flocks and herds,and the animals of the wild,8 the birds in the sky,and the fish in the sea,all that swim the paths of the seas.9 Lord, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth! Genesis 1:27 NIV27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 1) I AM DESIGNED FOR DOMINIONHebrews 2:8 NIV Psalm 139:14 NIV14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 17:8 NIV8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2) MY DESTINY FEELS HOPELESSLY DISTANTHebrews 2:8 NIV Genesis 3:17-19 NIV17 “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Isaiah 64:6 NIV6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. Romans 6:23 NIV 3) I AM DELIVERED FROM DEATHHebrews 2:14-15 NIV14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. Romans 7:24-25 NIV24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! Romans 5:6-8 NIV6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. John 3:14-17 NIV

    WORK: A Theology of the Gift of WorkWork to BlessJon FredricksToday's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:1-12 NIV Proverbs 18:16 NIV16 A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great. Acts 20:35 NIV35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Luke 6:27-31 NIV27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. Matthew 6:19 NIV Matthew 6:20 NIV 2 Corinthians 8:1-12 NIVAnd now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6 So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.8 I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.10 And here is my judgment about what is best for you in this matter. Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. 11 Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. 12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. 1) IDENTIFY IF YOU WANT TO GIVE2 Corinthians 8:8-9 NIV 2 Corinthians 8:5 NIV 2) IDENTIFY WHAT YOU HAVE TO GIVE2 Corinthians 8:12 NIV Mark 12:41-44 NIV41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” 2 Corinthians 9:8-11 NIV8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;their righteousness endures forever.”10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 3) MAKE A PRAYER-FILLED PLAN2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV 4) STRETCH IT OUT2 Corinthians 8:10-11 NIV 2 Corinthians 8:7 NIV Mark 10:28-31 NIV

Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Ephesians 1:3 NIV3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. James 1:17 NIV17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. Romans 10:12 NIV12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, Genesis 1:22 NIV22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 NIV 1) BE FAITHFUL TO WORK2 Corinthians 9:10 NIV Ephesians 2:10 NIV10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Exodus 16:4-5 NIV4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. 5 On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.” Galatians 6:7-9 LSB7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Colossians 3:23 NIV23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 2) TRUST THAT HE AND HIS IS ALWAYS ENOUGH2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 1 Timothy 6:6-10 NIV6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Hebrews 13:5 NIV5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 3) PRACTICE JOYFUL GRATITUDEPsalm 100:4 NIV4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Luke 22:17 NIV17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 4) LEVERAGE HIS GIFTS FOR HIS KINGDOMMatthew 6:20 NIV20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Luke 6:38 NIV38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

    WORK: A Theology of the Gift of Work

    Work Is Witness

    Jon Fredricks

    Today's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:12-15 NIV

    2 Corinthians 9:12-15 NIV

    12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

    Exodus 20:8-11 NIV

    8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

    1) PRAY

    2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV

    14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

    Matthew 6:6 NIV

    6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

    James 5:16b NIV

    … The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

    2) POSTURE

    2 Corinthians 2:14 NIV

    14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

    2 Corinthians 2:15 NIV
    15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

    James 1:19 NIV

    19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

    3) PRESENCE

    John 13:34-35 NIV

    34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

    Ephesians 5:2 NIV

    2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

    1 Peter 4:8 NIV

    8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

    4) PROFESS

    1 Peter 3:15 NIV

    15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

    Acts 1:8 NIV

    8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

    Colossians 3:23 NIV

    23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

    WORK: A Theology of the Gift of Work

    Work as Worship

    Bobby Humes

    Today's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 NIV

    2 Corinthians 9:6-9 NIV

    Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”

    Colossians 4:1 NIV

    Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

    Genesis 2:1-3 NIV

    Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

    Genesis 1:28 NIV

    God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.

    Genesis 3:17-19 NIV

    Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.

    Genesis 9:7 NIV

    As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.

    Galatians 5:22-23 NIV

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

    1) WORK AS WORSHIP

    Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

    For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

    Ephesians 2:10 NIV

    For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

    Exodus 23:10-11 NIV

    For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops, but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what is left. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.

    Titus 2:2-3 NIV

    Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.

    Colossians 3:23 NIV

    Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,

    2) GOD'S WORK

    Matthew 7:17-18 NIV

    Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

    Matthew 7:20 NIV

    Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

    1 Corinthians 10:31-33 NIV

    So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

    Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 NIV

    I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.

    John 4:34 NIV

    “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

    BEYOND Expectations

    This Changes Everything

    Jon Fredricks

    Today's Scripture: Hebrews 1:3 NIV

    Hebrews 1:3 NIV

    3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

    1) EASTER IS A SIGN: JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD

    Luke 24:1-6 NIV

    On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee.

    John 14:9 NIV

    9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

    John 3:16 NIV

    16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    Luke 18:31-33 NIV

    31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

    2) EASTER IS THE SIGN: THE HOPELESS HAVE HOPE

    Hebrews 1:3b NIV

    3b After he has provided purification for his sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

    Ephesians 2:6 NIV

    6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

    Ephesians 2:1-10 NIV

    1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

    Ephesians 1:19-20 NIV

    19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

    6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

    My Sin Is Gone - March 29, 2026
    Mar 29 2026
    BEYOND ExpectationsMy Sin Is GoneJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-3 (NIV) Hebrews 1:3 (NIV)1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Hebrews 1:3b (NIV)3b sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. THE HUMAN HEARTProverbs 4:23 (NIV)23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Luke 6:45 (NIV)45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. James 1:14-15 (NIV)14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. THE PROBLEM: SIN IN THE HUMAN HEARTRomans 3:23 (NIV)23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Isaiah 59:1-3 (NIV)1 Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. 2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken falsely, and your tongue mutters wicked things. Romans 6:23 (NIV)23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mark 10:45 (NIV)45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Romans 5:6-10 (NIV)6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Romans 5:18-19 (NIV)18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Isaiah 1:18 (NIV)18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. JESUSJohn 3:16-17 (NIV)16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 1 John 1:9 (NIV)9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.John 8:36 (NIV)36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
