Churchome With Judah Smith

The performance of Jesus set us free from guilt and shame. There is no condemnation in him, and he never wants you to feel ashamed. Let’s look at three powerful verses that will help you fight shame.

God wants us to go to him with anything, but we often don’t because we don’t understand him. He’s not destructive, dependent, or depleted. He’s a good, powerful, consistent father who always has time for us and wants to connect with us.

We hurry through life trying to be our own saviors, but what we truly need is to run to the creator of the universe and cast our cares upon him.

God always acts in consistency with his name, and his name functions like a strong tower. Say the name of Jesus and find security, the ability to see past circumstances, and a soothing!

Jesus followers are called to love God and love others, and learning to love well starts with loving yourself. Here are three tools for how to get started.

Jesus is welcoming us to a confident and bold life. He permanently unlocked the door by his own performance, and you can freely walk through it.

God designed and wants to reintroduce us to rhythm; his mercies are new every morning! Evening will pass, morning will come, and your new beginning is just moments away.

Jesus commands us to love one another as he loves us. He loves abundantly—with no conditions—and with him, we can be filled with unselfish concern for others.

Even though we walk through traumas, we don’t have to be traumatized. Jesus is with us in the fire.

When we retell the true story of Jesus, we access power that helps us predict the future and make new plans. What Jesus did, Jesus does, and he can do again. Remind yourself that you’re forgiven, and plan on Jesus directing your steps.

Stephen is just as ordinary as each of us, but when facing an excruciating death, God overtook him and gave him the strength to be extraordinary in his response. In our most challenging moments, God will be present. He’ll overtake us and transform us into reflections of Jesus.

Our dads can sometimes be like God, but God is not like our dads—he’s the good Heavenly Father, and he’s so much more ready and happy to listen to us, engage with us, and love us.

The Resurrection of Jesus can powerfully impact our everyday lives. In him, we have a living hope! This hope can fill us with expectation for good, energize us to keep going, and be experienced in God’s deep, tangible love.

It’s all too easy to let our sense of security and confidence depend on ideal circumstances. But with Jesus, we can have unshakeable security in trusting what he’s done, that he can do something new, and in who he is!

Do you think you’ve lost control because of a loss of information? Jesus can fill that space with a transforming realization of who he is! He’s involved. He’s active. He’s in love with you, and he will never leave you!

Even when we think we’ve missed our moment, God’s a redeemer. The story of Moses shows us how God can take our faithlessness and produce faithful lives.

When our confidence takes a hit from life, it can feel like we’ve lost it forever. But Jesus is a redeemer! He can take our lowest moments and use them as a symbol of what he’s capable of doing. He’s the restorer of our confidence.

As we live in freedom in Jesus, we exhibit ever-increasing sweetness. Sweetness is kindness in action. Legalism and comparison can try to distract us from sweetness, but Jesus is producing the fruit of the spirit in us!

The spirit form of God is guiding and leading us every day. His wind will stir, lift, and move us to a life of love—we’ll soar.

Culture tries to tell us that freedom is doing whatever we want, and we rely on self-discipline to keep us from self-indulgence. But Jesus teaches another way entirely: we’re free in him, and freedom is loving our neighbor.
