The Field Church Glorifying God through Faithfulness to His Word Helping people joyfully make Jesus Christ their treasure!

You didn’t come to Christ for religion.
You came for Christ.

Remember the gospel?

Remember the joy you had when you first understood that your sins were forgiven?

The gospel of grace is not something we move beyond.
It is the refreshing, satisfying, nourishing, strengthening stream that sustains us as we walk through the desert of this life.

This is what once captivated your heart.
This is what gave you purpose.

What gave you courage.
What freed you from shame.
What motivated you to run the race.

The forgiveness of God. The grace of God.
The person of Christ.

And yet, if we’re not careful, we can lose sight of Him.

Not by abandoning Christianity altogether, but by becoming preoccupied with everything surrounding Christ while forgetting Christ Himself.

The focus of Christianity is not ministry.
It’s not theology. It’s not church activity.

The focus of Christianity is a Person.
Jesus Christ.

If your joy has faded, don’t look for something new.
Look again at Christ.

You can have Christianity around you… and still lose sight of Christ.

One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a believer is not abandoning Christianity completely…
but losing sight of Christ within Christianity.

You can become distracted by routine.
Busy with life. Focused on everything except the One your soul actually needs.

And when that happens, your strength begins to fade.
Your motivation weakens.
Your effectiveness dries up.

That’s why Scripture repeatedly calls us back to joy in Christ.

Because God is protecting your Christianity by refocusing your heart on the treasure you already have.

Joy in Christ is not optional.
It is fuel for endurance.
Fuel for faithfulness.
Fuel for spiritual life.

You have Him.
And if you Him, you have everything.

Joy is not just a feeling - It’s a choice.

One of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is losing sight of Christ.

We become distracted.
Forgetful.
Decentralized.
And slowly, our joy begins to disappear.

That’s why Paul commands believers in Philippians 3 to rejoice in Christ.

Not because life is always easy.
Not because emotions are always high.
But because true joy is rooted in a Person — not a circumstance.

Christian joy is not passive.
It is something we actively fight for by fixing our confidence on Christ.

Why does this matter?

Because joy in Christ protects you.
It safeguards you from drifting spiritually.
It keeps you anchored in the gospel.
It keeps you effective for the kingdom.

You have Christ.
And if you have Christ, you have everything.
Don’t lose sight of that.

You cannot call Jesus “Lord” while remaining in control of your own life.

One of the most important questions you can ask yourself is this:

Who is actually in control of your life?

Because according to Jesus, discipleship means surrender.
Not partial surrender.
Not selective obedience.
Not “I’ll follow You… but first let me do this.”

Jesus confronts that mindset directly in Matthew 8 when a man delays obedience for personal priorities, and Christ responds:

“Follow Me.”

That’s the issue.

Do you subordinate yourself to the Word of God?
Or do you ultimately lean on your own understanding?

Many people want Jesus as Savior while remaining lord over their own desires.
But disciples follow Christ on His terms.
That means His Word becomes the authority.
His commands become non-negotiable.
His will becomes greater than your preferences.
And often, what keeps people from full obedience is one simple thing:
The fear of man.

We care too much about what others think…
and too little about what God has said.
But the true disciple has found life in Christ — and gladly submits everything to Him.

Hell is not a joke, a metaphor, or a scare tactic.

Hell is real.

Jesus spoke about it plainly because He loved people enough to warn them.

Scripture describes it as eternal punishment, conscious torment, darkness, fire, and the unrelenting wrath of God against sin.

And contrary to what many say today —God is not absent from hell.

Revelation 14 says those under judgment are tormented “in the presence of the Lamb.”

The justice of Christ is fully present there.

This is why sin is not small.
This is why unbelief is not harmless.
This is why repentance matters.

Every excuse, every justification, every dismissal of God will one day collapse under the weight of reality.

And this warning is not given out of hatred.
It is given out of love.

Because no one should want to face the eternal wrath of God when Christ has made a way for sinners to be forgiven.

Turn to Him while there is still time.

You will never have peace while living for people’s approval.

The fear of man will hollow you out.

When you are dominated by what other people think about you —their opinions, their approval, their acceptance —you will never have lasting peace.

You’ll constantly wonder:
“What are they thinking about me?”
“What if they reject me?”
“What if they misunderstand me?”
And eventually, your relationships become shallow because everything is filtered through self-protection and image management.

But Scripture reminds us:
There is only One whose opinion ultimately matters.
Your Creator.
Your Judge.
Your God.
That is whom you are called to fear.
And if you fear man more than God, the answer is not better self-esteem or more confidence.

The answer is repentance.

J.C. Ryle wrote:
“Disciples must be content in this present world to be misunderstood, misrepresented, vilified, slandered, and abused…”

Why?

Because Christians do not live for the approval of the moment.

We live in light of eternity.
One day, God will set everything right.

So stop living for the “now.”
Live for Christ.

Avoiding trials won’t protect your joy — it will destroy it.

One of the most damaging things a Christian can do is spend their life avoiding trials.

Running from hardship.
Hiding from discomfort.
Escaping difficulty.

Why do we do it?
Because we want immediate gratification.

“This hurts.”
“I don’t like this.”
“I want relief now.”
But maturity doesn’t grow in comfort.
It grows through endurance.

Scripture calls us to submit underneath the mighty hand of God and allow the trial to wash over us — not with despair, but with joy.
Not because trials feel good.
But because we know what God is producing through them.

Trials remind us that God is actively sanctifying us.
They assure us that we are part of His kingdom work.
They shape us into mature believers.

And when we constantly avoid them?

We lose joy.
We lose purpose.
We drift spiritually stagnant.

Like an athlete who never gets in the game, eventually we stop engaging altogether. But the Christian life was never meant to be lived from the sidelines.

Your feelings are real — but they are not always right.

Feelings usually arrive before facts do.

A trial happens…and immediately emotions rush in:
Fear.
Anxiety.
Frustration.
Discouragement.
But feelings are not truth.

They are more like a scout warning you that something is happening.

The question is: What is actually true?
That’s why Scripture calls us to consider.

To slow down.
To think rightly.
To examine the situation through the lens of truth instead of emotion alone.

Because most trials won’t feel joyful at first.
But over time, the Christian learns to recognize what God is doing underneath the surface.

What once felt meaningless…becomes purposeful.
What once felt painful…becomes sanctifying.

And eventually, by faith, you begin to see the trial differently.

Trials don’t destroy true faith — they reveal it.

Trials are coming.
Not maybe.
Not possibly.
Certainly.

But for the Christian, trials are not meaningless.
They prove that our faith is real.

They reveal that God is actively molding us into the image of Christ. That’s why Scripture says we can face suffering with joy and patience.

Not because we enjoy pain.
Not because trials are easy.
But because we know what God is doing beneath the surface.

The Christian sees trials differently than the world does.
A non-Christian sees suffering as pointless.
A Christian sees suffering as purposeful.

And often, what sanctifies us most is not the trial itself —
but our response within it.
Will we trust God?
Will we remain patient?
Will we cling to Christ with joy even in difficulty?

That’s where spiritual maturity is formed.

We often talk about God’s presence as comforting.

And for those who belong to Christ, it is.

But Scripture also reminds us that God’s presence is terrifying to the proud.

Isaiah 2 describes a day when every lofty thing will be brought low:

Human pride.�Human power.�Human wealth.�Human idols.

All of it will collapse before the splendor of God’s majesty.

“The loftiness of man will be bowed down… and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.”

The world trains us to exalt ourselves.�God will humble every person who refuses to humble themselves before Him.

On that day, people will throw away the idols they once treasured and run in fear from the presence of the holy God.

Why?
�Because He is not indifferent toward sin.
�He is holy, glorious, righteous, and worthy of fear.
The question is not whether God will be exalted.
The question is whether you will humble yourself before Him now… or be humbled before Him later.

The world’s standard will always tell you that you’re a good person.

That nothing is really wrong with you.
That your sin isn’t serious.
That God will simply overlook it.
But when you truly see the holiness of God…
you begin to see yourself rightly.

And that realization is crushing.
Because the closer you see God for who He is,
the more aware you become of your lack of holiness.

That’s why the world constantly reshapes God into something more comfortable:
• A weak god who never judges
• A sentimental god who ignores sin
• A god made in man’s image instead of man being made in God’s image

But that is not the God of Scripture.

God is holy.
God is just.
God is righteous.
And until we measure ourselves by His standard instead of the world’s, we will never truly understand our need for grace.

The good news of the gospel only makes sense when we first understand the holiness of God and the seriousness of our sin.
