Evangelising like Jesus – Jake Graham

March 1, 2026

Sermon recap:

We’re excited about heaven — but sometimes not as excited about helping others get there.

In Genesis 3:6–8, when Adam and Eve felt shame, they tried to cover it and hide. We do the same. But instead of running from God in guilt, we can let discomfort draw us closer to him. When God asks, “Where are you?” it’s not condemnation — it’s invitation. Let that question move you toward him.

The Eyes — Seeing God’s Vision

Throughout Genesis (6; 9; 15; 47; 48) and into Exodus 1 and Leviticus 26, we see God’s heart for people: be fruitful, multiply, flourish. Even after betrayal, his vision for humanity doesn’t fade. He desires generations to know him.

We’re invited to partner with that vision — to see people the way he does.

The Heart — Feeling What Jesus Feels

In Matthew 9:35–38, Jesus looks at the crowds and feels deep compassion. His heart breaks for the lost.

Paul echoes this in Romans 9:1–4a, expressing such love for his people that he would give up everything to secure their salvation. And in Jeremiah 20:8–9, God’s Word burns like fire in the prophet’s bones — he can’t stay silent.

When we spend time with Jesus, his heart becomes ours.

The Hands — Living It Out

In Mark 1:16–20, Jesus calls ordinary people to follow him and promises to make them fishers of men.

If Jesus were living your life, what might change?
Would he pray differently? Spend differently? Speak up more?

A fisher of men doesn’t just believe — they act. They learn from Jesus and trust him to do the transforming work.

A Simple Challenge

Ask someone to hold you accountable for one act of evangelism this week. Push through the awkwardness. Don’t let rejection stop you. Keep going.

Jesus calls us to follow him — and he will make us fishers of men.

Embracing Divine Tension: Pendulum Swings (Part 10)

By Justin Renton • September 2, 2026
The physics of the pendulum Picture an old grandfather clock in a quiet hallway. Its long brass pendulum swings steadily: tick, tock, tick, tock. Now give that pendulum a hard shove to the right. It does not simply glide back to the center and stop. It races right past the middle and sways just as far to the left. Left to its own momentum, a pendulum never rests at either extreme; it finds peace only when it hangs still at the center, held by gravity and its fixed point. The church behaves in much the same way. Push her too far toward one side of a truth and she does not gently settle into balance, she swings. Often for a whole generation toward the opposite error, and then back again, wounding people at both ends of the arc. And here is the crucial thing the clock teaches us: the pendulum comes to rest not by being frozen in place, but by being held. Balance is not the absence of force; it is the fixed point that keeps opposing pulls in tension so that the weight can finally hang still.
