Compassion Church

God calls us to return to Him—not just with our words, but with the way we live. In Malachi 3:6–12, Pastor Jeff walks through seven principles about grace, obedience, the tithe, stewardship, and trusting God's provision. What does it mean to give God the first instead of whatever is left? And what might God do through a life that places everything in His hands?

This message is part of our Keep the Change: A Generous Life series at Compassion Church Danville.

Who really owns what you have? In the first message of our Keep the Change series, Pastor Jeff walks through Psalm 24:1 and Matthew 25:14–30 to show us that God owns everything and entrusts His resources to us to manage faithfully.

Jesus’ parable of the talents challenges us to consider what we are doing with our money, time, gifts, and opportunities. The faithful servants put what they received to work for the master. The third servant buried what had been entrusted to him. The difference came down to knowing the master and being faithful with what he had given.

This message is a call to align our lives with the mission of Jesus and invest what God has placed in our hands in ways that serve others and grow His Kingdom.

Scripture: Psalm 24:1; Matthew 25:14–30; Matthew 6:33

In this homecoming message, Jeff invites Compassion Church Danville to remember God's faithfulness, focus on why we're here, and prepare for the mission ahead.

Through Deuteronomy 8, Exodus 6, and Joshua 1, we are reminded of the mission God has given us: to see the lost saved, the saved freed, the freed restored, and the restored fulfilled.

The church is not just a building to attend—it is a spiritual hospital where people can meet Jesus, find freedom, experience restoration, and discover purpose.

In this message:

Remembering the whole journey and God's faithfulness

Grieving what we've lost while celebrating what God is doing

The mission: lost, saved, freed, restored, fulfilled

Why the church is a hospital, not just a building

Being strong and courageous for the mission ahead

Staying connected to God and serving the needs we see

Scriptures: Deuteronomy 8:2; Exodus 6:6–7; Joshua 1:6–9; John 15:5

Have we become so familiar with the things of God that we no longer stand in awe of Him? In this message from Mark 5–6, we see Jesus deliver a man, heal a woman who had suffered for twelve years, and raise Jairus’ daughter. The sermon challenges us to guard our first love and trust Jesus beyond the limits we place on Him. Jesus is mighty over the devil, disease, and death.

Scripture: Mark 5–6.

Have you ever felt overlooked, forgotten, or like nobody sees what you're doing? In this message, Hidden, Not Forgotten, we discover through the life of Obadiah in 1 Kings 18 that God sees our faithfulness—even when it happens behind the scenes.

Obadiah served under one of Israel's most wicked kings, yet he remained faithful to God. While Jezebel sought to destroy the Lord's prophets, Obadiah risked his own life to hide 100 prophets in caves and provide them with food and water. His actions remind us that God can use us in difficult environments, that ordinary acts of service matter, and that faithfulness sometimes means taking the next step even when we're afraid.

You may feel hidden, but God has not forgotten you. Whether you're caring for a loved one, praying for your children, serving when nobody notices, or facing a difficult conversation, your faithfulness matters.

In this message, you'll be challenged to consider:

- How God can use you right where you are

- Why simple acts of service matter to Him

- How to take a faithful step even when fear holds you back

- Why God's grace is still available when you've struggled or fallen short

Scripture: 1 Kings 18:3–16

Your next step: Who is one person you can love right where you are? What's one quiet act of service you can continue? What's one faithful step you need to take, even though you're afraid?

Have you been hiding?

Sometimes life happens, and instead of stepping into the future God has for us, we retreat into a place of hiding.

In Judges 6, Israel found themselves hiding because of the Midianites. Gideon was hiding in a winepress, afraid of what would happen if he was seen. But God met Gideon right there and called him something he couldn't yet see in himself:

A mighty man of valor.

God may be speaking the same thing to you today.

You are not your past. You are not the worst decision you've ever made. You are not the mistakes you've committed. And you are not beyond repair.

This message challenges us to take three steps:

1. Acknowledge what led you into hiding.

2. Repent and run back to God.

3. Start moving forward with faith that God is with you.

The message is simple: It's time to come out of hiding.

God has not forgotten you. He has not given up on you. There is forgiveness, hope, love, a future, and purpose waiting when you turn back toward Him.

What happens when Jesus walks into the place everyone else is afraid to go?

In Mark 5, Jesus encounters a man who has been completely overtaken by darkness. He lives among the tombs, is isolated from everyone around him, and cannot break free from the chains that have controlled his life.

But Jesus sees something that everyone else has missed.

He sees the person beneath the pain.

In this powerful message, “Jesus, the Rescuer,” we discover four things about Jesus:

1. Jesus goes into places that others fear.

Jesus wasn't afraid to step into the cemetery. He intentionally went where others wouldn't go because there was a person there who needed Him.

2. Jesus sees the person beneath the pain.

People saw a dangerous, broken man. Jesus saw a child of God who needed to be rescued.

3. Jesus is master of whatever has mastered you.

The demons called themselves Legion, but even what appeared to be impossible was no match for King Jesus. The message reminds us that our feelings, addictions, past, loneliness and circumstances don't have the final word. Jesus does.

4. Jesus turns the rescued into rescuers.

After Jesus set the man free, He gave him a mission: go home and tell people what the Lord had done for him.

The man who had once been isolated among the tombs became a messenger of hope.

And that same calling reaches us.

If Jesus has rescued you, who can you tell?

The message ultimately asks us to consider our own response to Jesus: Will we ask Him to leave us alone, cling to the things that keep us bound, or surrender our lives and allow Him to restore us?

Jesus doesn't just want to rescue you.

He wants to restore you and give your life purpose.

What if your questions about Jesus aren't a reason to stay away from Him—but an invitation to come and see?

In John 1:43–51, Nathanael hears that Philip has found the Messiah. His response is skeptical: “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip doesn't argue with him. He simply says, “Come and see.”

In this message, Pastor Jeff Lynch explores what happens when we bring our questions, assumptions, doubts, and disappointments directly to Jesus.

You'll discover four important truths:

Don't let your assumptions keep you from Jesus.

Your questions do not disqualify you.

Jesus knows what no one else can see.

An encounter with Jesus can change your conclusion.

Maybe you've been hurt by church people. Maybe you've questioned whether Christianity is really true. Maybe you've believed in Jesus for years but haven't actually taken the next step of following Him. Or maybe you're simply weary, searching for purpose, peace, and hope.

Jesus' invitation remains the same:

Come and see.

You don't have to have every question answered before you take a step toward Him. Bring your questions. Bring your doubts. Bring your assumptions. Come and see who Jesus really is.

If this message speaks to you, share it with someone who may be searching for answers about Jesus, faith, and purpose.

Have you ever wondered if you've gone too far for God?

Maybe you've made decisions you regret. Maybe you've experienced things you can't undo. Maybe shame has convinced you that God's plans are for other people—but not for you.

John 4 tells the story of a woman who had a complicated past and had been pushed to the margins of her community.

And Jesus went looking for her.

He crossed cultural barriers.

He crossed social barriers.

He crossed the barriers created by her past.

And He met her at the well.

In this message, we discover that you're not too far away, you're not too far gone, and Jesus still wants you.

Jesus knows the real you—and He still loves you.

Your past doesn't have to determine your future.

And when Jesus changes your life, you have a story to tell.

The woman who came to the well in shame left as a messenger of hope, and many people in her city came to believe in Jesus because of her testimony.

Your story isn't over.

There are better days ahead.

📖 John 4

#CompassionChurch #Chosen #NotTooFar #John4 #Jesus #WomanAtTheWell

What happens when Jesus looks at someone everyone else has already written off?

In Matthew 9, Jesus sees Matthew sitting at a tax booth and says two simple words: “Follow me.”

Matthew's past didn't disqualify him. His reputation didn't disqualify him. His failures didn't disqualify him.

Jesus saw something different.

In this message from the Chosen series, we discover four powerful truths:

• Jesus sees people differently than we do.

• Jesus calls us before we have it all together.

• Found people find people.

• Religion looks down, but Jesus builds up.

Maybe you've been labeled by your past. Maybe you've convinced yourself you've gone too far.

You haven't.

Jesus is still saying, “Follow me.”
