Churchome With Judah Smith

When you face challenges, when you experience pain, you can either learn and grow from it or let it hold you back. If you want to live past pain, you need selective memory—remembering what is important and forgetting what isn’t.

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone always had the perfect response no matter what you’re experiencing? Do you need healing, soothing, a deep connection, someone to celebrate with, or a listening ear—Jesus' presence always meets your needs in the moment.

Do you feel tired, worn out, or burned out? Unbalanced priorities, unrealistic expectations, and unexpected challenges that life throws your way can be exhausting. But this message about Jesus’ easy teachings can help you find balance and rest.

It’s easy to ignore our mortality, long-life seems easily attainable if you just play it safe. But you can never really be perfectly safe—at least not until the next life. God’s purpose for your life is to live boldly, not distracted by caution.

What challenges are you facing? Do you feel overwhelmed and beaten down by pain and problems? Jesus wants to remind you that he’s with you in the middle of all the heartache and mess and confusion and he has plans to take care of you.

If you look at history, you’ll always find heroes in humanity’s stories—ready to save people. Time and time again, people need saving. No matter how hard you grind or strive and work, at the end of the day you will need outside help. You need saving.

How much of your value do you derive from daily tasks or activities? It’s easy to get distracted or disappointed in life by focusing on doing things. But when you can focus on being who you are, you’ll find the purpose and rest God has for your life.

You are a unique creation of God—but when you place people into groups and categories it’s easier to create division, judgment, and conflict. In many ways, you are the same as any other human and seeing that can help foster unity and community.

God has given you a fresh start, but still many struggle to grasp his radical gift of forgiveness. Forgiveness is not something that you earn. Forgiveness is not something that you deserve. Forgiveness is simply a gift from God for you to receive.

What’s Easter all about? Easter is worth celebrating, not because of a bunny and chocolate, but because of an empty grave. Jesus, the most compelling figure who's ever lived, rose from the dead like he said he would and changed the course of history.

Nobody likes conflict, but sometimes a fight can be a good thing. Conflict can lead to isolation or it can lead to intimacy. When you learn to fight right, you go through something and your relationship will be stronger.

If you have ever felt insufficient, if you have ever felt out-manned or overwhelmed or not qualified, if you have ever felt like an imposter, if you have ever felt like you don't measure up or can't keep up, this message is for you.

When someone says to give to God, that feels like an impossible ask. In the Bible, we see how God outlined a plan to enrich your life by following his steps to honor him with your finances. Giving to God means giving your first and best to him.

The more you try to control things, the more complicated everything becomes. God doesn’t want you carrying the stress and anxiety of a complicated life. He wants to help you, he wants to take care of you. He wants you to trust and rest in him.

The moment we start helping God plot, plan, or grind to get someplace in life is the moment we over-extend ourselves through striving. The best thing we can do is lean on God—that he has this all worked out, and all he wants us to do is trust.

We need money for so much, and it’s easy to let it control our lives. But God has a plan and value for generosity in your life that allows you to experience freedom from the negative effects money can have on your life and relationships.

When it comes to giving and receiving, we usually only think of ourselves. But Jesus told us that since we’ve freely received, we should freely give. Here are three questions you can ask yourself to better serve and love people in your world.

Since the start of the pandemic, many people have been analyzing their lives, asking: Where do I focus? Will I ever get my passion and determination back? In this message, Judah shares how you can start down the path to answering those questions.

When you're young it's difficult to see beyond the moment. And by the time you're older, it's easy to feel like dreams aren’t worthwhile. Whether you're young or old God wants to give you both visions and dreams he promises to fulfill.
