Ten lepers cried out to Jesus for mercy—and all ten were healed. Yet only one broke ranks, returned, and fell at the feet of Christ with gratitude. In this message, BSM Pastor Cody explores what it means to live with a heart that doesn’t just go along with the crowd but chooses thankfulness, worship, and faith in Jesus.

Sometimes following Jesus means breaking ranks—stepping away from the majority and standing out as one who remembers the Giver, not just the gift.

📖 Scripture: Luke 17:11–19

The Christian life is a journey of perseverance. Paul reminds us in Galatians 6:9–10 not to grow weary in doing good, because in God’s perfect timing, we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up.

In this message, Pastor Greg unpacks what it means to “keep on keeping on” in every area of life:

Parenting with faith and consistency.

Marriage built on sacrificial love.

Purity in a world of compromise.

Loving and serving others as Christ loved us.

Standing firm against spiritual attack.

Staying the course on this lifelong journey of faith.

Jesus didn’t give up on us—and as His disciples, we’re called to run with endurance, trusting that our labor in the Lord is never in vain.

In Mark 10:13-16, we see a powerful picture of Jesus’ heart toward children and the lessons He teaches us through them. The disciples viewed children as unimportant and without value, while today’s culture often treats children as problems rather than blessings. Yet, Jesus shows us something different—He loves children deeply, welcomes them, and even uses them as a model for faith.

Children naturally receive Him, trust their parents and grandparents, accept gifts with joy, and display a simple, pure faith that we as adults often lose. Jesus reminds us that to enter the kingdom of God, we must become like children—growing in trust, dependence, forgiveness, and love. As parents, leaders, and believers, we are called to bless our kids, pray over them, and guide them in their walk with the Lord.

Join us as we explore what it means to have childlike faith and why becoming “like a child” is vital to following Jesus.

Nobody likes to wait—but in God’s Kingdom, waiting is never wasted. Scripture teaches us that waiting on the Lord reveals our motives, builds patience, stirs anticipation, transforms our character, and deepens our intimacy with Him. In this message, Pastor Greg walks through 2 verses in Psalm 27 and other passages to show how waiting is part of God’s refining process. When we wait with eager expectation, we discover that God’s timing is perfect, His purposes are good, and His strength is enough to carry us through. The end result of waiting on the Lord? Deliverance, renewal, and strength. 📖 Scripture: Psalm 27:1–14 #WaitingOnTheLord #Psalm27 #FaithAndPatience #GodsTiming #RenewedStrength #SundaySermon

Your profile tells others who you are—it’s your identity. Our former spiritual profile? Dead in sin, following the ways of the world, separated from God. But God—rich in mercy and full of love—stepped in. Through Jesus, we are made alive, forgiven, and given a brand-new identity in Him. This isn’t because of anything we’ve done, but entirely by His marvelous grace. In Christ, the old is gone, the new has come. We are no longer defined by our past, but by His victory.

Pastor Greg returns with a powerful message about spiritual growth begins with being rooted in Christ, like a tree drawing strength from its deep roots. We are then built up on the firm foundation of Jesus, allowing His Word to transform every part of our lives, like leaven working through bread. Finally, we are established in the faith, walking daily with Him and producing fruit as our lives become a place of rest and nourishment for others. True growth is a journey, and even small beginnings become great when God is at work.

Jesus makes it clear that following Him requires total commitment. He calls His disciples to love Him above all else—even family—and to carry their cross daily. True discipleship means surrendering our plans, possessions, and priorities to follow Christ fully. Just as no one begins a project without counting the cost, we are called to consider the sacrifice involved in living for Jesus. Discipleship isn’t a casual decision—it’s a complete, life-changing commitment. #TheCostOfDiscipleship #Luke14 #FollowJesus

Pastor Greg shows us how Jesus taught that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted (Luke 14:11, 18:14). Humility isn’t weakness—it’s Christlikeness. It’s choosing the low place, seeing others as valuable, and depending on God, not self.

We’re not called to feel humble—we’re called to live humbly:

• Serve others

• Let go of pride and self-promotion

• Submit to God and one another

• Recognize your need for grace

• Come before God regularly in repentance

True humility reflects the heart of Jesus. And in God’s timing—He lifts the humble up.

This weekend, Pastor Greg reminds us that true discipleship starts with abiding in Christ—staying connected to the Vine. In a culture that celebrates independence, Jesus calls us to something radically different: complete dependence on Him. In John 15, Jesus says, “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” That’s not limitation—it’s freedom. Spiritual independence leads to separation, struggle, and ultimately, withering. But when we abide—when we trust, rest, and rely on Jesus—we bear fruit, grow in truth, and experience real liberty. Don’t buy the lie that strength comes from self-reliance. Strength comes from surrender. Dependence on Jesus is where true freedom begins. #NoIndependence #AbideInChrist #TrueFreedom #John15 #JesusIsTheVine #StayConnected #FruitfulLife #SpiritLed #DependenceIsFreedom

Pastor Greg will deliver a sermon today on what is arguably the most widely recognized parable: the Good Samaritan. Often, when this parable is encountered, a crucial dialogue and profound truth conveyed at its conclusion are overlooked. Jesus instructs us on the essence of being a 'good neighbor,' a truth that the world desperately needs to witness actively demonstrated by His disciples and followers. As followers of Christ, we are called to embody a radical love and selfless service, a call echoed in the timeless words of the Micah Mandate found in Micah 6:8? The Good Samaritan parable is a vivid illustration of this mandate in action, urging us to look beyond conventional boundaries and extend compassion to those in need, regardless of their background or our preconceived notions. It challenges us to move beyond passive understanding and actively engage in the lives of others, demonstrating the transformative power of God's love through our tangible actions.

This parable unfolds by examining the actions of three distinct individuals entrusted with their master’s property during his absence.

This passage is more than history — it’s a call to examine our own hearts and the purity of our worship. Has the temple of your life become cluttered with compromise? Join us as we explore what it means to honor God with true, undefiled worship and stand for His holiness in an age of spiritual corruption.

Pastor Greg's Sunday morning teaching focuses on three parables of Jesus sharing a central theme: the anticipation of the Lord's return. These include the parable of the expectant and faithful steward found in Luke 12, and the well-known parable of the ten virgins recorded in Matthew 25. These three distinct narratives offer a wealth of insights for believers regarding the second coming of Christ. The sermon encourages self-reflection on one's preparedness for this pivotal event. Are individuals actively and attentively watching for the Lord's return? What blessings are promised to those who remain vigilant, and what are the potential consequences for those who are caught unaware or neglectful? The core message emphasizes the certainty of Jesus's return and the clear responsibility given to His followers to be watchful and ready. Each parable likely contains specific lessons about readiness, faithfulness in service, and the importance of maintaining a state of spiritual alertness. Further exploration of these passages promises a deeper understanding of Jesus's instructions and the implications for contemporary Christian living.
