    The Unknown God | Compassion Church Dickson | Jamie Grisham

    How do we reach a changing culture without changing the Gospel?In Acts 17, Paul steps into cities filled with different beliefs, philosophies, religions, opinions, and people searching for meaning. Instead of becoming angry at the culture around him, Paul is stirred by the people who are lost within it.Paul understood something the Church still needs today: the truth never changes, but the way we communicate that truth may.In Thessalonica, Paul reasoned from Scripture. In Athens, he began with something the people already understood, the altar to the “unknown god” and used it as a bridge to introduce them to Jesus.He changed his approach, but he never changed the Gospel.As followers of Jesus, we are called to stay close enough to culture to speak to it, but different enough from culture to have something to say.And ultimately, every bridge we build should lead somewhere. Paul began with the unknown god, but he ended with the resurrected Jesus.Because behind every idol, every search for meaning, and every attempt to fill the emptiness is a human heart searching for something only Jesus can satisfy.The goal isn't for people to simply know more about Jesus.We want them to KNOW HIM.📖 Scripture: Acts 17:1–29, 1 Corinthians 9:19–23, Matthew 9:36In this message: How we see people changes how we respond to themBuilding bridges without compromising truthCommunicating an unchanging Gospel to a changing cultureRecognizing what people are truly searching forMoving people from knowing about Jesus to actually knowing Him

    When God Says, "No." | Compassion Church Dickson | Jamie Grisham

    What do you do when God says “no”?We love celebrating open doors, answered prayers, and new opportunities, but sometimes God’s greatest “yes” is hidden inside a closed door.In Acts 16, Paul was doing something good. He was ready to preach the Gospel, yet the Holy Spirit stopped him, not once, but twice. Paul didn’t argue, negotiate, or force the door open. He simply kept walking. What looked like rejection was actually redirection toward a greater assignment.That redirection led Paul to Macedonia, where Lydia encountered Jesus, a slave girl was set free, and a prison became the setting for chains to fall and an entire household to experience salvation. What began with two closed doors ultimately impacted generations.Maybe you’re standing in front of a closed door right now. You’ve prayed, fasted, believed, and still haven’t received the answer you wanted. Don’t assume God’s “no” means He is absent. His “no” may be His guidance, protection, and preparation for something greater than you can see.Sometimes our greatest act of faith isn’t asking God to open another door, it’s trusting Him enough to thank Him for the one He closed.📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.

    Grace Alone | Compassion Church Dickson | Jamie Grisham

    In Acts 15, the early church faces one of its first major doctrinal conflicts: Is faith in Jesus enough for salvation, or does something need to be added?As Paul and Barnabas confront the teaching that Gentile believers must follow the Law of Moses to be saved, the church is forced to settle a foundational truth of the Gospel: Jesus + nothing = salvation.In this message, we unpack three important truths from Acts 15:• Don’t add to what Jesus finished. Salvation cannot be earned through church attendance, baptism, generosity, serving, good behavior, or religious works. These things are the fruit of salvation—not the foundation of it.• Remove unnecessary barriers. The Gospel calls us to repentance, holiness, obedience, and lordship, but we should never create religious requirements that Jesus never required.• Have a faith that produces. We are saved by grace through faith, not by works—but genuine faith transforms us and produces obedience.Religion says, “DO.”Jesus says, “DONE.”The law exposes our sin, but only the grace of Jesus can transform our hearts. The question Acts 15 forces us to answer is one that still matters today: **Is what Jesus did on the cross enough?**The answer is yes. Grace alone saves.📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.

    Stirred Up: Acts 14 | Jamie Grisham | Compassion Church Dickson

    The Gospel Will Always Face Opposition | Acts 14What happens when following Jesus gets difficult? In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas remind us that opposition isn't always a sign you're off track, it can actually be evidence that you're walking in God's purpose.This week, we'll discover how the enemy works to deceive, divide, and discourage, while learning how God calls His people to respond with boldness, discernment, wisdom, and unwavering faith. From false teaching to fierce persecution, the early church never stopped proclaiming the Gospel, and neither should we.Join us as we unpack what it means to stand firm in the truth, recognize deception, endure hardship, and continue the mission God has given us. Following Jesus has never been the easy path, but it has always been the path worth taking.We all have a decision to make: Will we compromise when opposition comes, or will we remain faithful to Christ until the end?📍 Visit Compassion Church3525 Highway 70 W.

    Set Apart | Jamie Grisham | Compassion Church Dickson

    Are you waiting on God, wondering if He still has a purpose for your life?In Acts 13, we see Barnabas and Saul set apart, not by chance, but by the voice of the Holy Spirit. They weren't randomly chosen. They were handpicked by God for a specific assignment. The same is true today. God is still calling ordinary people to do extraordinary things for His Kingdom.In this message, discover how God speaks through worship, prayer, and fasting, why waiting is never wasted, and how staying focused on Jesus prepares you for the purpose He has already planned for your life.If you've ever questioned God's timing, felt overlooked, or wondered if He could use you, this message is for you.In this message:• God's call is personal—you are handpicked for a purpose.• Intimacy with God always comes before assignment.• Waiting is preparation, not punishment.• Your unseen faithfulness is shaping your future.• Don't let the world's noise distract you from God's voice.• Stay focused on Jesus, not the approval of the crowd.Key Scriptures:Acts 13:1–45Isaiah 6:8Psalm 46:10John 10:27Psalm 27:14Isaiah 40:31John 15:19No matter where you are in your journey, remember this: God has not forgotten you. Your waiting is working. Your purpose is still alive. Keep worshiping. Keep praying. Keep listening. The Holy Spirit is still calling people to be set apart for His work.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who needs to be reminded that they have been handpicked by God.
