"Do You See What I See?" Asks Jesus | Pastor Timothy Brassell | 10-26-25

[20th Sunday After Pentecost - Prop 25] "Do You See What I See?" Asks Jesus | Pastor Timothy Brassell | 10-26-2025 Scripture: Acts 10: 30-43 New Life Fellowship of Baltimore, Maryland Worship Service (Grace Communion Baltimore) https://www.newlifebaltimore.org Copyright 2025 – New Life Fellowship All Rights Reserved Time Codes: 00:00 - Gospel Message 1:00:29 - Sharing in Communion/The Nicene Creed/Conclusion Summary: In this powerful continuation of the “No Partiality: Christ the Lord of All” series, Pastor Timothy Brassell reminds us that God Himself is the Gospel revealed through Jesus Christ, who embodies divine love, unity, and reconciliation. Preaching from Acts 10:34–36, he proclaims that Jesus is not “made Lord” by us; He is Lord of all, the One who has already reconciled Jew and Gentile, strong and weak, insider and outsider. True reconciliation, Pastor Tim explains, isn’t found in laws, labels, or nationalism but in participating in Christ’s relationship with the Father and the Spirit. In Him, all divisions fall away, and every person is given a front-row seat before God’s love. Key Themes and Reflection Questions: 1. God Is the Gospel ✝️🔥 • Theme: The gospel is not a message about God but the very being of God revealed in Jesus Christ—Father, Son, and Spirit. Jesus doesn’t just proclaim good news; He is the Good News. • Discipleship Question: How does seeing Jesus as the gospel Himself reshape how you share your faith with others? #GodIsTheGospel 2. No Partiality in Christ 🌍🤝 • Theme: In Acts 10, God shows that He has no favorites. Jew or Gentile, male or female, strong or weak. His love reaches everyone equally because all belong to Him. • Discipleship Question: Where might God be calling you to lay aside partiality and extend His love more inclusively? #NoPartiality 3. Real Reconciliation Begins with Jesus 🕊️💞 • Theme: True reconciliation isn’t about rules or outward appearances, it’s about Jesus fully receiving the Father’s love in the Spirit and sharing that love with us. • Discipleship Question: What relationship or situation in your life needs the reconciling presence of Jesus this week? #RealReconciliation 4. Identity Through Faith, Not Tribe 👑🙌 • Theme: A true Israelite or child of God is not defined by race, nationality, or culture, but by faith in Christ. God gives us our identity through His relationship, not our labels. • Discipleship Question: How can you root your sense of identity more deeply in Christ rather than cultural or national definitions? #IdentityInChrist 5. Rejecting False Gospels 🚫🪞 • Theme: Believers must guard against distortions such as Christian nationalism, racial superiority, and cultural idolatry. The Church’s mission is not to “save” a nation but to proclaim God’s reconciliation through Jesus Christ. • Discipleship Question: What “ism” or ideology might be competing with your loyalty to Christ as Lord of all? #ChristAlone Reflective Moment: Take a quiet moment this week to ask, “Do I see as Jesus sees?” Let His Spirit open your eyes to the unity He’s already created. Look beyond race, status, and difference, and see each person as God’s beloved child, fully included in His grace.
