Evangelism isn't about the perfect presentation; it's about the ask. Don't shy away from absolute truths. People need to be persuaded and left with a decision. Go for the ask – today is the day of salvation.

Only Leaves is about the danger of looking spiritually alive without actually bearing spiritual fruit. In Matthew 21, Jesus found a fig tree full of leaves but no fruit. In the same way, our lives can be filled with religious activity and still miss the heart of what Jesus wants. He wants more than leaves. He wants fruit.

We are often more lost than we realize because the same sinful heart we are trying to examine is guiding us.

In Luke 19:1–10, Zacchaeus appears successful on the outside, but his life is marked by greed, dishonesty, and spiritual blindness. Then Jesus seeks him, saves him, and completely changes him.

This message challenges us to stop defending what God is exposing and pray honestly:
“Search me. Expose me. Forgive me. Change me. Lead me.”

Zacchaeus was not saved because he gave his money away. He gave his money away because saving grace had changed his heart. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, but genuine grace never leaves us unchanged.
Grace produces righteousness. Action follows.

Scriptures: Luke 19:1–10, Psalm 139:23–24, Proverbs 16:2, Jeremiah 17:9, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 4:20–28

In a fallen world, pressure and challenges to your faith are inevitable. The real question is, are you tolerating any sin, excusing it, or even enjoying it? This can lead to quenching the spirit.

People are constantly watching and listening. Your everyday actions and integrity are what give weight to your words. If your life doesn't align with what you preach, your influence diminishes. True change is visible.

Worried about praying in public? If you're nervous about what to say, it likely means your private devotion needs strengthening. True public courage is built in private conversations with God.

Claiming Jesus on Sunday and living dishonestly on Monday? That's not how it works. Your work ethic reveals your character. Are you a hard worker or always late? That's who you truly are.

We often see people change their actions without a change of heart. This can look like going to church, being faithful, or serving, all while harboring bitterness or racism. True transformation comes from within, not just from external compliance. Are you truly changed or just going through the motions?

Can you be a Christian and live dishonestly? Good works don't earn salvation, but they are evidence of being saved. As James 2:17 says, faith apart from works is dead. True faith changes you.

We all have problems. The harder question is whether we actually know what our problem is.
In Luke 8, a woman comes to Jesus convinced she knows exactly what she needs. But her encounter with Jesus becomes about more than she expected.
In “What’s Your Problem?” we’ll look at what happens when the problems we see bring us face to face with a Savior who sees what we can’t.
