Bragging never works. Not when it’s self-centered. In this message, Fuse MSM continues the Real Joy series by breaking down Philippians 3 and what it looks like to humbly brag on Jesus.

What makes you happy? You might be surprised to learn it, but getting what you  want isn't the best way to get real joy in the long run. It's actually scientifically proven that serving others makes you happier. Today, Fuse MSM continues the series Real Joy in the book of Philippians talking about the truth that real joy is found in serving others, not ourselves.

If our lives are like a cup, we tend to use the love and joy we fill them with to pour it out and give it to others. But then, when it's time to refill them with love and joy, we keep them pointed out to others and expect them to give it back to us. But the only true way to get Real Joy in our lives is from Jesus. In this message, Fuse MSM kicks off the series Real Joy in the book of Philippians.

Jesus makes His plan for people really simple: He does all the work, we just choose whether we respond to Him by trusting Him or not. We aren't Christians because our parents are, or because we say we are, or even because we just think that we are. We are Christians because we make Jesus the center of our lives by trusting His Word. Text for this message is John 15:5.

Ever met somebody who claimed to be a Christian but their life choices proved they definitely weren't? Sadly, this kind of thing happens more often than we would want to admit. In this message, Fuse MSM continues the Jesus & Me series with More Than Just Words: You can't be a Christian just because you say you are.

Nobody gets to choose for you what you believe. You have to make that choice yourself. In other words, it's not possible to be a Christian just because your parents are Christians, or because of where you were born. This message kicks off a Fuse MSM series called Jesus & Me: what it means to follow Jesus for yourself. Text for this message starts in Judges 8:28.

"I've been a Christian my whole life," is a phrase a lot of us have found ourselves saying. The problem is, that's not how being a Christian works. In Jonah's story, though he grew up around God's people and could recite God's Word eloquently, his heart was far from Him. Jonah's actions, especially in chapter 1 of his story, prove that the only way to be a follower of God is to actually trust Him. Anything short of that isn't the real thing.

In the story of Jonah, Jonah is a fraidy-cat who runs away from God in the story's very first moments. In this message, Fuse MSM goes back into the story of Jonah in 2nd Kings and other books to figure out why Jonah ran from God - because he didn't really know God like he thought he did. And for ourselves, we see the necessity of asking the question - do we really know God ourselves?

Ever met somebody who just KNOWS they've got it all figured out? They're focused on themselves and when push comes to shove, most times it all falls apart for them. In this message, Fuse MSM finishes the series All of My Best Friends, looking at why it's important to recognize that focusing on Jesus is the only way to find what we need. Anything else, in Jesus's words, leads to destruction, and many people find it.

"Treat others how you would want them to treat you." The Golden Rule is something we're all taught at some point, but do we really get what it's saying? In this message, Fuse MSM continues our All of My Best Friends series as we talk about what Jesus said BEFORE He said the Golden Rule, and why it matters as we determine how to use it in our friendships.
