The Benefits of a Relationship with God ✨ When you have a relationship with God, everything changes. 💭 It puts your problems in perspective—because even your suffering has purpose. God uses it to build endurance, character, and hope that never disappoints. 🙌 Our relationship with God is rooted in His love—undeserved, unearned, and unshakable. ❤️ Through Jesus, we’ve been justified, reconciled, and given access to peace that the world can’t offer. The best thing about Christianity isn’t what we get, but who we get. 🤍 https://www.bible.com/events/49513484 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

This week we looked at Romans 4 and the incredible truth that we are saved by faith, not by our own works. Salvation isn’t something we can earn—it’s something that’s credited to us through Jesus. 💥 Before we ever do anything, our identity in Christ comes first. And when doubts creep in, we can rest in this: faith over feelings, focus over distractions, and trust over fear. ✝️ Missed last night’s message?

“Dying for Access” 🔑Pastor Jon dives into Romans 3 where we are reminded that righteousness isn’t earned—it’s accessed. Through Jesus, we’ve been given direct access to God, not because of what we’ve done, but because of what He’s already done. 💡 The Promise of Access: It’s for everyone who believes. 💰 The Price of Access: Jesus paid it all—justified, redeemed, and set free. ⚡ The Power of Access: Nothing we do earns it, but everything changes when we believe it. We don’t have to fight for access—it’s already been given. Will you have the courage to believe it? Missed last night’s message?

Pastor Chad digs deep into Romans 3 and reminds us of the weight of sin and the beauty of the gospel. ✨ Paul shows us that we all fall short—none of us are righteous on our own. Sin isn’t just something we stumble into; it’s what we naturally choose. But the good news is that God, in His justice, doesn’t leave us there. 🙌 The law reveals our brokenness, but it also points us to our desperate need for a Savior. True righteousness doesn’t come from what we do—it comes through faith in Jesus Christ. 💜 Once we understand the depth of our need, we can fully embrace the hope and freedom found in Him. 🕊️ Missed last night’s message?

Good Lies We Believe 👀 Pastor Jon continued through Romans at the Crossroads and discussed 3 lies that keep us from truly depending on Christ: 1️⃣ “I’m not that person.”➡️ Comparing yourself to others won’t make you right with God (Romans 2:1-5) 2️⃣ “I’m not that lost.”➡️ It’s not about how far you’ve strayed—it’s about trusting in Jesus’ finished work (Romans 2:16-20) 3️⃣ “I’m not that bad.”➡️ Even our best efforts fall short. Rely on Christ, not your own goodness (Romans 2:21-29) We don’t need to try harder—we need to depend deeper. 💯 Missed last night’s message?

Pastor Chad continued our Romans series by talking about the wrath of God. In times like these, it’s not always easy or comfortable to think about God’s wrath. But Pastor Chad reminded us that despite those feelings, we actually need God’s wrath. If grace is God’s love, His wrath is a reflection of His perfect justice. 🙏 Romans 1:18 says: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.” (NKJV) God’s wrath isn’t impulsive—it’s deliberate. It’s against those who reject good and embrace evil. We’re living in a time where we’re witnessing His passive wrath on a society that has lost respect for life and morality. In these times, we need to fall to our knees and repent. 🙌 Let His wrath help us look within, identify the wickedness in our own hearts, and recognize the brokenness in the world so we can bring God’s hope and grace to others. ✝️ Missed last night’s message?

What if revival isn’t an event, but a new normal? In this Revive Week message, guest speaker Drew Worsham (pastor, church planter, and Christian illusionist) opens Acts 4 to show how the early church lived with a clear message, were marked by Jesus, and were motivated by the cross, and why we can’t “come have revival and then go back to normal.” Drew shares a memorable Rubik’s Cube illustration, powerful gospel clarity, and a call to move from performance to proximity to Jesus. If you’ve ever felt spiritually “scrambled,” this message will help you place your life in the hands of the One who can truly transform it. Key Scriptures: Acts 4:1–22; Ephesians 2:1–5; John 15:1–5; Romans 1:16 Big Idea: The gospel isn’t about making bad people good; it’s about making dead people alive in Christ. 3 Anchors from Acts 4 Message Was Clear — “There is salvation in no one else…” (Acts 4:12) Marked by Jesus — People could tell they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). Motivated by the Cross — “We cannot help but speak…” (Acts 4:20).

Pastor Phil wrapped up our Multipliers series with such a powerful reminder: God’s plan has always been to build Himself a family and a kingdom without end (Gen. 1:26–28). 🌎 From the very beginning, God called us to:➡️ Be fruitful → Evangelism➡️ Multiply → Discipleship➡️ Fill the earth → World Missions But here’s the truth: multiplication starts with fruitfulness!! The mark of maturity isn’t just growing for ourselves, but reproducing—raising up spiritual sons and daughters who can multiply too! ✖️ We are the bride of Christ, and intimacy with Him is what produces fruit. Will we be a barren bride, or a fruitful one? Jesus said, “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit” (John 15:8). 🙏🏾 So we have to ask ourselves: What will you live for, and what will you give your life to? Missed the message?

Ananias said, “Here I am, Lord.” And everything changed. 🙌 This Tuesday, Pastor Jon talked about what it really means to be a disciple — not just someone who believes, but someone who follows. 👣 A disciple gives Jesus attention, availability, and authority. And when God calls, disciples say YES — even when it’s uncomfortable. We make the choice to:💬 Confess our fears🔥 Fight apathy🤝 Reject self-reliance🌱 Embrace the quiet work of multiplying the Gospel The proof? Transformation. Saul went from blind to bold — from feared to faithful. Discipleship isn’t just about knowing Jesus. It’s about becoming like Him. Let’s be people who say, “Here I am, Lord.” 🙏 Missed last night’s message?

Sacrifice isn’t something we grow out of as Christians—it’s the foundation of our faith. 🙏🏽 Last night, Pastor Chad continued our Multipliers series with a message on The Method of the Multiplier — and it all comes down to this: 1. Worship Jesus 2. Lay down your life for Him 3. Follow Him wholeheartedly You can’t make Jesus known while trying to stay in control or clinging to things that are holding you back from the purpose God has placed inside you.

Just like sunflowers naturally turn toward the light for life, our hearts were made to turn toward Jesus for abundant life🌻 Lastnight Pastor Chad broke down Romans 6:23 which reminds us that sin brings death—but God offers a free gift: eternal life through Jesus. No amount of good works or religion can bridge the gap… only the cross can! You can’t earn God’s love. You can only receive it. Are you in a right relationship with God or looking for ways to earn his love? 💭 Last night we also had the opportunity to pray with our Johnson County campus leaders as they prepare to allow God to use them in new ways!

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19–20) 🌍 ⠀ Last night Pastor Chad kicked off a powerful new series called Multipliers, reminding us that our true purpose isn’t hidden in the world — it’s found in the Word. ⠀ As young adults, it’s easy to chase purpose through success, image, or comfort. But Jesus has already given us our purpose: make disciples. That’s it. That’s the mission. ⠀ 🗣 Multiply wherever you go 👥 Multiply disciples of Jesus 📖 Multiply God’s Word 🔥 Multiply with God ⠀ You were made for so much more than what the world offers.

Last night was a fun one — but Pastor Jonathan also got very real with us! We continued in our dating series, Soft Launch, by identifying some of the dangers that can sneak into how we date: 💔 Dating at a distance from God – Are we dating powerlessly or power-filled? 👥 Dating without community – Who’s helping you see what you might miss? 🌍 Dating like the world – Are we compromising truth for convenience? 😶 Dating like it doesn’t matter – Because it does matter. God has more for us — even in our relationships. Let’s date with purpose, power, and people around us. See you next week!! Missed last night’s message?

Last night, Pastor Chad kicked off our new series “Soft Launch,” focused on dating in 2025. He reminded us that preparing for relationships starts long before we meet someone. We need to be intentional about getting ourselves ready to date and eventually start a family. Here’s how: 1. Grow biblically 2. Live sacrificially 3. Assume responsibility We also need clarity on what we’re looking for—alignment in faith, family values, and a shared vision for the future. The Bible gives us a framework for recognizing a godly spouse, especially through passages like John 29 and Proverbs 31. We were encouraged not to rush into dating. Take time to really get to know someone—talk to their friends, observe their character, and seek God’s wisdom. And most importantly, stay open to what the Lord may bring. Be willing to make or take the offer when the time is right. This is about launching with purpose, not pressure. Missed last night’s message?

Pastor Phil continued our “Rest on Us” series with a powerful and timely message on spiritual warfare. As children of God, it’s essential that we recognize both who we are fighting against and how to prepare for the battle. Spiritual warfare is real—just as real as the physical world we live in. Every day, we are engaged in a battle that isn’t visible to the natural eye but has very real consequences. If we don’t understand our adversary, we risk being overcome. That’s why awareness and preparation are vital. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us of the true nature of our struggle: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Satan is a master of deception. He knows how to plant seeds of doubt in our minds, twist the truth, and build arguments that subtly turn us away from God. His attacks often come in the form of mental and emotional warfare—aimed at discouraging us, confusing us, and making us question our identity in Christ. But we are not powerless. Through God’s Word, we learn to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Instead of being ruled by our feelings, we are called to stand on godly truth—truth that doesn’t shift with emotion or circumstance. The blood of Jesus has broken the chains of sin and shame. We are no longer captives. Satan wants us to forget that—weakened, distracted, and bound by lies. But God calls us to remember who we are and to walk daily in the freedom He has already secured for us. Missed last night’s message?
