Sunday Message (1st service) - Pastor Brad Neuschwander (April 19, 2026) | Life Bible Church

Welcome to the Life Bible Church podcast. We

want to thank you for joining us today, and we

hope you find today's sermon impacting as you

listen to it wherever you are in your daily walk.

To find service times and watch messages online,

see our website at lifebiblechurch .org. Now,

enjoy this week's message. Thursday and Friday

just waiting on the Lord and studying and Thursday

we had freedom encounter and so most of my time

was for that message but Friday became a day

of just coming in here early and praying and

asking the Lord Lord where do we go from last

weekend and fire on the altar and I felt very

strongly that the Lord wanted to highlight a

couple of passages that that I have not got to

in the Something More Church. So I wanna just

go back there for a moment and review just a

reminder and then bring us into what I believe

the Lord is wanting to say this morning. All

during prayer, in our pre -service prayer time,

the theme that was being highlighted all the

way through as I listened to different people

pray was the rain and the presence of the Lord

a sense of peace to saturate us because the fire

is coming. That was the theme. God's bringing

a sense of peace, of his righteousness, of his

presence, of his grace, but he's preparing us

that the fire of cleansing is coming. Now we

alluded to that a little bit just even this last

weekend as we talked about our time of Saturday

and Sunday. on fire on the altar service, on

Jesus' baptism, John said of himself, he said,

I baptize you in water, but there is one coming

after me who I'm not even worthy to untie his

sandal strap, but when he comes, he will baptize

you in a baptism of fire, for he will gather

his wheat into the barn, but he will burn the

chaff with holy fire or unquenchable fire. And

the reality is that is the baptism that Jesus

brings. Jesus brings, he is the great refiner.

He is the one that it talks about in the book

of Malachi. The one who sits over the silver.

Silver always speaks of redemption. He says he

cleanses silver even seven times, removing the

dross. Why? Because he is the refiner. He is

the purifier. He is the one that comes to actually

take the impurities out of you and I. You and

I. I represent the gold and the silver. Turn

to somebody and say, you're worth something in

Jesus' name. Come on. You're worth something

in Jesus' name. God actually calls you the silver

and the gold. You're that. Your faith is gold.

What is in you, given to you from the very presence

of God and your response to the Lord is he's

always dealing with the silver inside of us that

represent. the redemption process and the sanctification.

And so as I listened even this morning, as I

was finishing up and God was speaking to me a

couple of fresh things and they're not, I'm sorry,

I didn't send them on as I kind of redid these

notes. You just have to follow along. As God

was speaking to me this morning, even in pre

-service prayer, the reality is he is Bringing

a fire, and we know this from time to time. God

does this. He removes the chaff. Why? Because

you can't bring wheat and chaff into the barn.

Why? Because it won't be clean grain. It won't

be actual grain to actually be stored to give

to people. God never wants to actually have a

people filled with mixture. So his goal is to

what? Always bring the wheat that gets harvested

to a threshing floor. A threshing floor, we don't

have it in our times here. And in Western culture,

we've kind of, modern machinery actually threshes

the grain and does that for us. But in the Bible

times where you see it, they brought it to a

place where there would be a wind current. They

didn't just go in behind something, They needed

the wind and they would pour out the grain and

the shocks of grain undo them and they would

take threshing sledges. which would be kind of

like hammers with little spikes on the end of

it. And they would thresh that grain. And various

different grains took different types of threshing

type tools. But the whole point was to bring

it on a floor to gather that wheat or that grain

or barley or corn, gather it into a pile, then

take a winnowing fork. And that's what John was

talking about with Jesus. He said his winnowing

fork is in his hand. Now, we see, you know, lots

of different things. We can picture Christ with

a shepherd's staff. But literally, Jesus Christ,

as John the Baptist said, he comes with a winnowing

fork. And that fork, I don't know if you've ever

seen the picture of kind of just the farmer standing

there with his wife with a pitchfork. Just picture

Jesus with a pitchfork. You would normally think

the devil has a pitchfork. No, well, the devil

may have a pitchfork, but Jesus has a winnowing

fork. A winnowing fork is different. It doesn't

have metal tines. A winnowing fork was made out

of wood, and it had more of a blunt end, and

its whole job was to what? Go through that grain

pile of the chaff of the little pieces that look

like grain itself, that were hollow. and to bring

it and to throw it up and to let the wind separate

that which was empty from that which had weight.

The whole point of the winnowing fork and Jesus

overseeing the winnowing fork and Jesus using

the winnowing fork was to allow the wind of the

Spirit. Only the wind separates the grain from

the chaff. And the Bible says the grain, goes

into his barn, the chaff eventually gets swept.

Because in that chaff and in those false seeds,

God doesn't want anything false. And that gets

burnt. See, even in farming today, there are

kernels of grain that look like grain, but they're

hollow. those get swept out with little pieces

of straw. You can look like something, but the

determining factor for your life is, is there

weight in the kernel? The weight represents the

truth of God's presence, the genuineness, and

that you have given yourself to Christ. And so

Jesus comes with a winnowing fork and his baptism

is one of fire. That's why Dr. Munson was talking

about what we dealt with last week with fire

on the altar. The Holy Spirit and wind, the fire

and wind always come together. Let me say that

again. The fire and the wind of the Spirit always

come together. Why? Because it's not just about

the blowing of the chaff, separating it. It's

about the removal of it and the cleansing so

that there is no copycat or mixture and so when

we're talking about the something more church

and we're talking about Jesus and we we've kind

of parked on this understanding that Jesus as

he represented the kingdom of God we talked about

his his authority we talked about he's building

a church Matthew 16 18 I'll tell you the truth,

Peter, on this rock I will build my church, the

ecclesia, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.

And I'll give you, notice, I'll give you the

keys of the kingdom, and whatever you bind on

earth shall be bound, and whatever you loose

on earth shall be loosed. When we talk about

this reality of Jesus and his church, you have

to understand that what Jesus went through and

what Jesus carried has to be in the church. We

don't get to move through life actually saying

we want more of Jesus, more of his presence,

more of his anointing, more of his power, and

then not be willing to embrace the things that

Jesus yielded himself to and invited on his life.

You cannot do and be who Jesus calls you to be

without the Holy Spirit on you. You can't. In

you and on you. Now, Where we left you a few

weeks ago was Jesus never bypassed the little

day -to -day things to minister for the Father

for just the big cross experience. We talked

about that. Jesus didn't just live for his big

moments, kind of get shot there with Instagram

and social media and Jewish Facebook. He wasn't

just like, hey guys, let's grab a selfie right

here at this one. It wasn't that. He was very

comfortable going to the out -of -the -way places,

going from village to village and town to town.

He would take up a tent meeting and break down

that tent meeting if it was the Father's will

that he leave that moment and leave thousands

of people to go to a village for less than 100.

Jesus purposely chose the path of humility. Born

in a manger, nowhere's ville. Okay, lived in

obscurity in Nazareth, nowheresville. And Jesus

had no problem going to places where he was hidden.

Fact is, in many times, Jesus' ministry said,

don't say what I've just done to you. Be quiet

about it. Why? Because he wasn't about his own

promotion. Jesus embraced humility. He, if anything

that he modeled, he modeled humility. Now listen,

he came as the lamb of God, but he also represents,

and I don't have time to go into this this morning,

but it's an incredible truth. He represents all

four faces of the living creatures before the

throne. He is the man. He is that. eagle. He

has prophetic eyes, eyes of fire that can see.

He is the lion of the tribe of Judah, and he

is the ox. As the ox or the calf, that represents

what? His willingness to serve humanity, to bear

the burden of the work, to sacrifice and be used

for sacrifice. that had the picture of an ox

on it. And it had the picture of an ox and an

ox was looking at two places of its destiny.

One was a plow and one was an altar. The ox knew

on that coin that there was only two places for

his life. Either he would saddle up to the work

that was prepared for him or he would be a what?

A sacrifice prepared. for something greater than

himself. The reality is Jesus displayed that

he was both. He took the yoke of the father on

him and he became the one who became our sacrifice.

The other thing that was incredible is that Jesus

displayed, or excuse me, discipled only, really

when you think about it, he discipled a very,

small number of people compared to the people

that heard him. And for the most part, they were

not people of great renown or influence at first.

Just like Dr. Munson said, he said, I didn't

have any doctorate degrees. I didn't preach at

any renowned Bible college. Didn't have any of

that. But God, when he calls us out of places

of our insignificance, His deposit inside of

us. It's not really us. It's him that grows him

in us. And whatever Jesus does is of significance.

It's just the fact that he gets to use us. Clay

vessels and fill us with his presence where he

gets the glory and the honor with a life that's

yielded to obedience. Jesus didn't go out. I

mean, I say this carefully. He did not set out

to go after celebrities. He didn't set out to

go after influential people or worldly leaders.

Instead, now he did encounter them, but instead

the majority of his ministries, when we look

at Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the majority

of his ministry, Jesus cited or had affinity

with those without power. and those that had

status stripped from various places. Jesus constantly

moved among the bottom rows of society. Matthew

9, and if you have your Bibles, let's turn there

this morning. Matthew 9, verse 9 through 13.

Matthew 9:9–13

We'll put this up on the screen. Matthew 9, 9

through 13. As Jesus passed, I'm going to be

reading from the ESV. As Jesus passed from there,

he saw a man called Matthew sitting at a tax

booth. And Jesus said to him, follow me. And

Matthew rose and followed him. As Jesus reclined

at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors

and many sinners and were reclining with Jesus

and the disciples. Now just picture that room.

How many have friends that work for the IRS or

local tax authorities? Nobody's raising their

hand that want to be identified. Jesus, Jesus

not only picked the most despised Now you have

to understand, Matthew representing a Jewish

person working for a Gentile Roman tax collecting

office was considered a traitor right from the

beginning. Traitor to his people, traitor to

his faith. Jesus invites him to follow him and

then in the course of that invites a whole lot

of other tax collectors and then the Bible says

sinners. In that reality, it was everything.

Sinners would be anyone that had not adhered

to the principles of Moses' laws and lived a

life contrary from righteousness and honoring

God. So here's Jesus sitting in this room with

people, his disciples in the same room, and all

of the invited guests. And the Pharisees saw

this. And they said to his disciples, now notice

they said sometimes to Jesus directly, but this

time was like, they said to his disciples, why

does your teacher eat with tax collectors and

sinners? But when Jesus heard it, now you have

to just, you know, how many have ever been in

a... in a conversation where somebody is talking,

you're in completely engaged in someone else's

conversation. And then one person that you're

connected to, maybe your wife or your kid says

something. And all of a sudden you tune out of

the conversation you're in and surrounded with,

and you pick up every word across the room. Anybody

like that? Okay. It's okay. This section must

be more parents over here. The reality is, you

can all of a sudden hear two things. It's like

this person just goes, and it's like, and then

you look over at your child. It's like Jesus

hears it. They were talking to his disciples.

He hears it, and when Jesus heard it, verse 12,

he said, those who are well, Have no need of

a physician, but those who are sick. Go learn

what this means. I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

Now, this is a pretty significant statement that

Jesus says. He didn't just say. Hey guys, I heard

you talking. I just wanted to come over and address

this privately and kind of just correct a little

theology. Jesus, you have to understand, and

he heard it, he just stopped right in the middle

of dinner conversation and he just blurts out

this kind of proverbial truth. Those who are

well have no need of a physician, but those who

are sick, go. and learn what this means. I desire

mercy and not sacrifice for I came not to call

the righteous but sinners. Now, first of all,

you need to understand that what Jesus was doing,

he was now doing as a master teacher and a rabbi.

He was now addressing the Pharisees in the room

as a learned scholar invoking on them to remind

themselves where the passages of what he just

quoted are. And he was inviting them to begin

to think differently by what they were experiencing

in the questioning of their hearts and in the

judgments that they were beginning to have. Jesus...

To this group now, let's get into the meat of

it. Jesus brought them the essence of three distinct

passages. Remember where the Bible says, on the

mouth of two or three witnesses shall everything

be established? Jesus quoted, in essence, three

passages. Hebrews 6, 6, 1 Samuel 15, 22, and

Micah 6, 6 through 8. Jesus was the master rabbi.

And to those learned men, when he said, go. and

learn, he would say, go find where those passages

are and look at them in a new light in the context

in which they were originally delivered. Jesus

took them and told them to re -examine, examine

the words, I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

Let's just give you a background. Hosea 6, 6

says it this way. I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Here's an expanded version of it. What shall

I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with

you, O Judah? Your love is like the morning cloud,

like the dew that goes away early. Therefore,

I've hewn you down by the prophets and I've slain

them by the words of my mouth and my judgment

goes forth as light. I don't know if you remember

me quoting this last week, but I said to you

out of Laodicea, he says, I have sent my prophets

and their words have what? I will spew you out

of my mouth. Here Jesus is talking about the

words that God's prophets give when you're in

rebellion and defiance and you're in a mindset

that's different. The words actually are meant

to cut the heart. That's what happened at Peter's

preaching. The day of Pentecost, Acts chapter

two, they were what? When Peter preached, this

is Jesus whom you crucified, who is risen from

the dead, the son of David. What does it say?

And they were. cut to the heart. That would be

a prophetic statement is I hew them down with

my prophets. Meaning what? I caused the pride

and the arrogance of which they stood against

my word and in the way they looked at it and

I brought them under the light that broke forth.

And now this is the context. Your love is like

the morning dew. What was he saying to Judah

and Ephraim? You are fickle. Yes, you'll declare

that you love, but as soon as the sun comes up,

you're evaporated just like the dew. I've sent

my prophets, I've sent my words to you to try

to cut the pride and the arrogance and to bring

a shaping to you. And then he says it this way,

for I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice

and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

What about 1 Samuel? He quoted this passage,

1 Samuel 5, 22. Has the Lord delight in great

burnt offerings and sacrifices as in the obeying

of the voice of the Lord? The great phrase here,

behold, to obey is better than sacrifice and

to heed the voice of the Lord than the fat of

rams. Micah 6, 6 through 8 says this. With what

shall I come before the Lord and bow myself before

the Lord on high? Shall I come before him with

burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will

the Lord be pleased with a thousand rams or with

10 ,000 rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn

for my transgression or the fruit of my body

of my soul? No, the Lord has told you, oh man,

what is good and what the Lord does require of

you. but to do justice, to love kindness, and

to walk humbly with and before your God. You

see, the Lord always puts, he always puts the

focus on the heart rather than some form of outer

sacrifice. The inner part of the heart. to walk

in humility and surrender in our thought processes

and motives. This is where Christ actually gets

deepened in you and me. Listen, worshiping God

is great. Coming to church is part of his purpose

and plan and singing songs. that are connected

to honoring, loving, and worshiping are great,

but your heart better be connected. Because you

could actually sing those things and sing it

from a place of you receiving peace and you receiving

a feel good and actually not surrender to his

lordship. Everything in our Christian life comes

down to what? The motive of the heart. Listen,

it is considered idolatry, scripturally speaking,

to disobey the expressed commands and word of

the Lord to try to then manipulate and compensate

the Lord through worship. Let me say that again.

Because that's important that you get here. It

is considered extremely, well, it's sin, number

one, but it's hostile to God's will that when

the Lord has expressed commands of what his will

is, not scripture first. But now I'm going to

speak to us that believe, because it is scripture,

that God actually releases the word of the Lord

over our life. When you know what the word of

the Lord is for your life and you choose to redirect.

what God's will is for your life. I'm not talking

about one prophetic word or here and there. I'm

talking about clear counsel, prophetic word of

the Lord that comes to your life, that you bear

witness on the inside of the Holy Spirit has

called you, your life for this type of calling.

When you choose to manipulate it, it is offensive

to the Lord. Then when you kind of try to manipulate

the Lord now with offerings from your heart and

worship and try to put appease God with what

you'll choose to do versus what he asked you

to do. It actually starts you on the path of

deception and blasphemy. Because you begin to

actually say to the Lord, I know how my life

should work better than you do. See, sometimes

it's better to have not known. what the way and

the will of the Lord is sometimes than to know

it and not do it. Because when the word of the

Lord comes to you and actually marks you for

his purpose, and then you willfully say, but

I don't wanna do it that way, I'll do it this

way. We have a plethora of scriptures that show

that that always leads to deception and always

leads to a life that brings dishonor to God.

Right in the midst of, while saying, I'm honoring

him. Now I know I'm getting, we're sharpening

the blade here a little bit. If you understand,

and I don't have time in these next moments,

let me just say, Jenny, if you'd come, or whoever's

coming. I'm gonna tell you that the title that

Jesus had as rabbi, There's great study that's

gone into this, and I'm not the one that studied

it out. I'm looking to those that have. We would

call a senior rabbi or a master teacher, we would

call it in the Hebrew, they would call it shemika

status. And shemika status is something that's

conferred on a master teacher that... could handle

the Mosaic law and in the release of the Mosaic

law, in all that was written, if you will, of

the Torah there, he could declare to you an interpretation.

Shemekah's status was given, was something that

was in operation in Jesus' day. Fact is, It was

a title that had been given and marked by three

things, signs, wonders, and miracles. And if

you go back to Jewish history and you do the

study, there were several rabbis that had Shemekah

status. Jesus qualified for Shemekah status.

And many times, by reading the scriptures, you

wouldn't understand that he was actually giving

the Shemekah senior status. even as he quoted

the scriptures. And I'll give you some examples.

A Shemekah rabbi would bring clarity to the text

and in this case would have the right to change

the view of the day. That was the title of being

a master rabbi or a master teacher or a shmika

rabbi. Means what? That the interpretation of

what God was speaking, he had the right as a

rabbi to say, but this is what the text means.

So you would say, well, where is that in the

scripture? Well, let me give you a few. Matthew

5, 21. You've heard it said. You shall not murder,

but whoever murders will be liable of the judgment.

But I say to you, shmika status. Everyone who's

angry with his brother will be liable to judgment.

Everyone who insults his brother will be liable

to the council. And whoever says you fool will

be liable to the hell of fire. Matthew 5 .33.

Again, you've heard it said. To those of old,

you shall not swear falsely, but shall perform

to the Lord all that you've sworn. Now, what's

he quoting? He's quoting the Torah. He's quoting

the Old Testament scriptures from the law and

from the word of God. But I say to you, Shemekah

status, do not take an oath at all, either by

heaven or for its throne or by earth or its footstool

or by Jerusalem, the city of the great king.

And do not let. Do not take an oath by your head,

for you cannot make one hair black or white.

Let what you say be yes or no. Anything else

comes from evil. How about another one? You've

heard it said, Matthew 5, 43, you shall love

your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say

to you, shminka status, you shall love your enemies

and pray for those who persecute you. so that

you may be sons of your father who's in heaven.

For he makes his son rise on evil and good and

sends the rain on the just and the unjust. For

if you love those who love you, what reward do

you have? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

And if you greet only your brothers, what more

are you doing than others? Do not even Gentiles

do the same? How about one more? Matthew 5, 38.

You've heard it said. an eye for an eye and a

tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, do not resist

the one who is evil. And if anyone slaps you

on the right cheek, turn him the other also.

You see, Jesus, the master teacher, was in mercy

giving these learned men the key to unlock themselves

from wrong perspectives and values that had kept

them from really knowing the Lord. You see, many

times we get the idea that Jesus didn't love

the Pharisees. You almost hear preaching over

and over and over saying, well, the only people

that Jesus got mad at was the Pharisees. Well,

there is truth to that. But what we don't understand

that in his righteous anger was because they

were supposed to know more than the people. Way

more. To whom much is given, much is... Let's

try that again. To whom much is given, much is...

required. His anger, his righteous anger was

on those who represented God, those who claimed

they knew God, and those that were supposed to

operate in their understanding of God to release

it properly. But I want you to understand in

these passages, and especially here in Matthew

9, Jesus as the master, teacher, rabbi, shmika.

the one who had miracles, signs, and wonders,

the one who when he would sit even at the age

of 12, he was not a master teacher at that point,

the one who would sit at the age of 12 and could

argue with the most learned of scholars and reason

through the scriptures whom God anointed in his

ministry. If there's anybody that qualified for

it, he qualified for it to understand the text

of how it was written. Why? Because he was the

living word himself. And so when Jesus says,

but I say to you, he was operating both in the

title of master rabbi, but he was also operating

in the title of the living word made flesh. He

was now giving a key to unlock the Pharisees

when he said, go and learn. He was giving them

the key to unlock them from their wrong perspective

and values. Quoting Hosea 6, when Jesus says

go, he's actually saying this. You need to depart.

You need to go on a journey. You need to move.

This is what this word means in the Greek. You

need to move to a state of transfer. You need

to prepare yourself to find something new, deeper,

and richer. Because I'm going to tell you to

go and learn, which means you have to depart

from the thing that you think you know in order

to grab on to the thing that's awaiting you.

Jesus was saying, you can't find it in the state

that you're in right here. The question you're

asking at the table with the tax collectors,

the Jerusalem IRS agents. And all of the sinners

and my disciples and now you watching, you can't

find the answer even though I'm sitting in front

of you. You can't find it unless you go back

to the text and look at what I put there for

you. Jesus is saying, at the core of the heart

of God, you will find the key to unlock the state

that you're in. And then he said, learn. And

I'm going to finish with this one. He said, learn.

This means what? To increase one's understanding

of knowledge. It means to develop a new habit.

A habit that is based on new revelation and insight.

Jesus is saying, go and learn. Why? Because the

old revelation or the context in which they had

bought from their teachers only had brought them

so far. And now the master teacher was sitting

in front of them. Just like the master teacher,

and I'm going to land this plane here shortly.

The master teacher is sitting in front of them

and saying, go and learn. What I said, I desire

mercy and not sacrifice. It was a word first

to them of love. It wasn't the fact that God

was looking at them and saying, where you're

at now, I have no compassion for you. You've

learned, you've become educated. You've become,

I'm using an example. You're not this. You've

become proud and arrogant. Now I'm going to condemn

you in your arrogance. No, no. Jesus is actually

flooding their heart and their mind with the

truth of saying, you've searched the scriptures

to know God, but you've only come to a certain

understanding because you've waited it under

certain teachers. I'm now coming to you as the

Shemekah rabbi. I've had things validated. That's

why Jesus could say, If you don't believe me,

believe me for the works that I do. That was

all Shemekah. That's what that means. It means

it was validated that he had the ability to declare

the word of God as the truth, as God would have

you understand it. So when he said, now go and

learn, he was saying, listen, Drew, everything

that you've poured over and your life to know

God, I want to bring fresh revelation and light

to you. I have within myself a desire. You've

circled around the outsides of my will, but my

desire is that you know the core of my heart.

This is so important for every Christian in this

room. We can do all of the stuff that is for

God, but the core is, do you have his heart?

Do you have his heart? Am I allowing the revelation

of what it means to go and learn of him? That

he was meek and lowly of heart. That he was what?

He desires mercy. He desires more your affection

on a daily basis than any form of offering or

money. or of any form of praise or adherence

to any type of schedule that you have. He's after

the inside of you. And this morning, let us each

take that to heart. In fact, even as I pray this

morning and Kayla comes to get ready to dismiss

us, I'm praying that each one of us, as we heard

the testimony of what is happening around the

world, And Lord, we add even now, Lord, your

word on top of the testimonies of your goodness

and your faithfulness of calling people out of

darkness and into your marvelous light. Lord,

let us hear. Not be swept away by routine. Let

us not be carried away by familiarity. But God,

let us be the people that would say, Lord, we're.

going and we're departing from just routine alone

but we're going to learn that you desire mercy

you desire change in the inward part you desire

love and the willingness to think about you choose

your purposes and decisions in the daily walk

that when the other stuff comes to our mind that

we're willing immediately in the doors of our

heart and in the hallways of decision to let

go of what is not of you and step into what is

of you. Lord, I'm asking that in this congregation.

You're bringing the wind and you're bringing

the fire. You're cleaning now in these next seasons.

We declare it. You're cleaning threshing floors

because you desire wheat to come into the barn.

We have to have a mindset, Lord, that sees the

unsaved, that sees their, they don't know, but

they have to have a people that with mercy and

love would live outside of themselves. Give us

a heart for the lost and the unsaved. We love

you, Jesus, and we bless you. I bless this congregation

in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you for taking the
