Pastor Chad talks about our part in salvation through Romans 10 🤍 God doesn’t just save us, He sends us. We’re invited to be messengers of the gospel to the people around us. We were challenged to actually see the need. This generation is spiritually open, but many don’t truly know God or His righteousness. People are searching, but they need the truth of Jesus. The gospel is the only message that truly changes lives. It’s not about having it all together or being perfect. God isn’t asking for your performance, He’s asking for your yes. You don’t have to be the most knowledgeable or eloquent. God wants your willingness. People don’t just learn from platforms, they learn from you. So what do we do We learn the message We live it out We share it wherever we go If you know Jesus, you’re already sent. Our response Pray for those who are going Pray for those who are giving Live your life like you’ve been sent 🤍 Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts! 📱 https://www.bible.com/events/49597924 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

In this message, we continue our Romans part II series by studying Romans 9, and learning about God’s sovereignty in salvation. God is sovereign in the process of salvation, and He invites us to be part of the process. First, we must have an active burden for the lost; for those who don’t know Christ. We can grow in our burden for the lost by praying for them, and by preparing ourselves to help them grow their faith. Second, we must have the knowledge of these truths about salvation: 1. That God initiates salvation (vs. 9-13). 2. God gives mercy (vs. 14-18). 3. God does everything for His glory (vs. 19-24). 4. God gives salvation (vs. 25-33). Sometimes it can be hard to see these truths because of our own arrogance, but we study the Word of God so that we can think rightly about the ways of God. You have been chosen and saved by God Almighty, and we can respond to these truths by simply coming to Christ.

Pastor Chad starts our new series through Romans 8, reminding us of some foundational truths we have in Christ. 🤍 No matter our past, our performance, or our struggles, our identity is secure in Him. We don’t have to earn God’s love or prove ourselves worthy. We’re already fully known and fully loved. Even in suffering, God is still working. What feels painful or confusing right now is not wasted. God uses every season to shape us, grow us, and draw us closer to Him. And in our weakness, we’re not alone. The Holy Spirit meets us there, intercedes for us, and gives us strength when we don’t have it ourselves. Nothing about our lives is random. God is intentional, present, and working all things together for good. So we can live with confidence knowing this: Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Pastor Jon continues our “Secure the Bag” series with a powerful reminder: the real question isn’t what do I have? it’s what has my heart? God is intimately concerned with our well-being. He cares deeply about what’s shaping our lives. In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches that wherever our treasure is, our heart will follow. Our heart is our capacity to love and grow, so if our treasure is placed in things that can fade, be stolen, or destroyed, our hearts become vulnerable too. What we fix our eyes on shapes everything. Our priorities, our decisions, and our direction all follow. And Jesus is clear. We can’t serve two masters. It’s not about balance, it’s about who truly leads our lives. “God, free me from anything trying to take Your place by having control over me.” 🤍 Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts! 📱 https://www.bible.com/events/49580401 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Culture tells us to “secure the bag,” but Scripture invites us to see our possessions differently. Whose bag is it really? Last night’s message gave us a new perspective and a bigger invitation for this topic. In Psalm 24, we see that David understood that God owns it all, and that he has entrusted us to be stewards of the things He has given us in this life. One day we will give an account for how we have stewarded our possessions. Jesus wants us to invest in the things that matter most. Success = faithful stewardship, in the kingdom of God. A faithful steward sees money as a tool, a test, and a testimony. This week: Ask God to make you a steward, and be mindful if how you do reflects your walk with the Lord. Have a great week, Paradigm!

In this message, we had the privilege of hearing from Ken and Carrie Liles who were missionaries that served in Iran. They shared their experiences and encouraged us on how to live faithfully in a world filled with uncertainty. 🌍 One thing they reminded us of: freedom isn’t simply doing what we want, it’s living the way God calls us to live. Even in places where the gospel faces opposition, it continues to move forward. The message of Jesus cannot be stopped by circumstances, politics, or war. God is always preparing a way before us, wherever He calls us to go. They challenged us as young adults to let our hearts break for what breaks God’s heart, to pray for those who are persecuted, to pray for those suffering in war, and to remember that God deeply loves people and desires for them to be saved. No matter what is happening in the world, God’s timing is perfect, His mission is still moving, and He is working through every hardship to bring hope and a future. Let our prayer be: “Lord, break my heart for what breaks Yours.” ❤️ Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

How do you handle entitled thoughts when they appear? In Mark 9, we see an example of how Jesus shows how to deal with entitled thoughts. Jesus identifies the thought, informs the thought, then impacts the thought. We may not always think of entitled thoughts as something we wrestle with, but they are important to address when renewing our minds. Entitled thinking can look like thoughts of, “I deserve better than what I’m getting.” These kind of thoughts will drift you further from Jesus more than any other kind of thoughts, and can be dangerous when we are blind to seeing it in ourselves. Jesus said in Mark 9, “If anyone desires to be first, he will be last.” Remember ✍️ 1: You cannot access greatness without its Author. 2: Combat entitled thinking by caring for the parts of the world in need.

“Your feelings are real, but they’re not reliable.” From Exodus 3, we’re reminded that God calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose. Even when insecurity, fear, and impostor syndrome try to speak louder than His voice. Just like Moses, we often make excuses: Who am I? I’m not enough. I don’t know enough. What if I fail? I can’t do this. But God isn’t looking for perfection He’s looking for surrender. He doesn’t need our confidence, our eloquence, or our qualifications. He wants our obedience. Sometimes the very thing standing between us and God’s calling is what we refuse to lay down. When God says “take off your shoes,” He’s asking us to remove whatever separates us from Him: sin, fear, pride, insecurity, or control. God doesn’t just send us, He goes with us. His presence leads. His name empowers. His promises sustain. His power makes the impossible possible. You are called. You are chosen. You are sent. Not because you’re enough, but because He is. 🤍 Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts! 📱 https://www.bible.com/events/49566453 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Feeling unloved or unworthy doesn’t change the truth of who God says you are. 🖤 In Luke 15, we’re reminded that our worth isn’t defined by our failures, our past, rejection, or perfectionism. It’s defined by the Father. We don’t have to earn God’s love. We don’t have to clean ourselves up first. We don’t have to perform, prove, or punish ourselves to be worthy of His grace. God doesn’t meet us with disappointment; He meets us with compassion. He runs toward us. He restores us. He robes us in honor and calls us His own. When we live in thoughts of unworthiness, we live in defeat. But when we live in the truth of God’s love, we live in freedom. You are more loved than you can imagine. You are not lost; you are called. You are not unworthy; you are His child. 🤍 Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts! 📱 https://www.bible.com/events/49563132 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

People-pleasing may look harmless, but it slowly replaces obedience with approval. In Galatians 1:10, Paul reminds us that we can’t seek the approval of both God and man at the same time. When our value is tied to being useful, liked, or not disappointing others, it leads to exhaustion, compromise, comparison, and fear. The fear of man becomes a trap, but trust in the Lord brings freedom (Proverbs 29:25). The cure isn’t trying harder—it’s trusting deeper. Knowing we are fully known and fully loved by God allows us to let go of man’s approval and walk in obedience, even when it costs us. Less approval. More obedience. Less fear. More freedom. ✝️🤍 Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts! 📱 https://www.bible.com/events/49559689 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’s message reminded us that the greatest battles we face aren’t always external. Often, the battlefield is the mind. Romans 12:1–2 calls us to resist conforming to the patterns of this world and instead be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We were challenged to recognize that not every thought deserves agreement, that we are not defined by our strongest thoughts. Through Christ, we can take thoughts captive, identify lies, and replace them with truth. God desires dominion over every area of our lives, including how we think. When we invite Him into the process, we begin to walk in clarity, freedom, and victory. Proving what is the good, acceptable, and the perfect will of God. What’s the loudest thought in your head right now? And what does God say about that? Missed last night’s message?

Living free from condemnation! Romans 8 reminds us that God doesn’t label us by our past—only He gets to name us, and He calls us His. When we stop trying to live in our own strength and surrender our lives and minds to Christ, our focus shifts and our lives start to look different. The evidence of a changed heart? A life being changed by Jesus. He lives in us, and He’s the one doing the transforming 🤍✨ https://www.bible.com/events/49530243 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!
