   Can I Trust Jesus After Church Hurt? | Valid Faith

   Valid Faith · Redemption Church Plano Can I Trust Jesus After Church Hurt? Church hurt is real. But the failure of Christians is not the same thing as the character of Christ. Explore what Jesus says about hypocrisy, healing, forgiveness, and hope. Explore Valid Faith (https://redemptionplano.com/valid-faith/)30 Honest Questions (https://pastorchris.fillout.com/30-honest-questions) An honest question worth investigating What do you do when the people who were supposed to show you Jesus are the ones who hurt you? Church hurt can come through hypocrisy, gossip, spiritual abuse, failed leadership, or a church culture that protects its reputation instead of protecting people. Sometimes the wound is public. Sometimes it is deeply personal. Jesus is aware of this. He has addressed it. Church hurt is real. But do not confuse the failure of Christians with the character of Christ.

Jesus confronts it. Jesus confronted religious people who knew the language of faith but neglected justice, mercy, and faithfulness. 2. Jesus shows us a better way. Matthew 18 calls us to go directly to one another instead of talking about one another. 3. Jesus can heal what Christians hurt. Healing does not mean pretending it never happened. It means bringing the hurt to Jesus, who never failed you. Jesus confronted religious hypocrisy Matthew 23:23 NIV “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!… you have neglected the more important matters of the law – justice, mercy and faithfulness.” The Greek word hypokritēs was connected to the idea of an actor – someone playing a part. Hypocrisy is not simply failing. We all fail. The deeper problem is learning to play Christian while refusing to let Jesus change how we actually live. Does my life match the God I claim to know? Can we be right and still misrepresent God? John Calvin and Michael Servetus remind us how ugly this can get. People can care more about being right theologically than being like Jesus. They argued over theology, but the people who claimed to defend truth became willing to destroy a man made in the image of God. Their actions contradicted the God they claimed to defend. That is the warning: you can win the theological argument and still lose the character of Christ. We can disagree without dishonoring. Jesus shows us a better way Matthew 18:15 NIV “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you.” Jesus’ instruction is simple: go to them. Not everybody else. Not the comment section. Not the unofficial investigation committee. Give people a chance to hear, explain, repent, and restore. We should not talk about each other. We should talk to each other. When the people closest to Jesus become the obstacle Mark 5:27 NIV “When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak.” The woman had suffered for twelve years. She heard about Jesus and tried to reach Him. Yet the people closest to Jesus were physically between her and the One she desperately needed. The obstacles between her and Jesus are the people closest to Jesus. Our attitude, judgment, gossip, denominational pride, hypocrisy, or need to always be right can make it harder for hurting people to reach Jesus. Our calling is the opposite: do not become the obstacle. Help people get to Jesus. Jesus can heal what Christians hurt Healing does not mean pretending something did not happen. It does not mean calling wrong right, or trusting someone who is unsafe. But the person who hurt you is not Jesus. Do not confuse the failure of Christians with the character of Christ. Galatians 5:22-23 NIV “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Faithfulness to Jesus should show up in the way we treat people. It is possible to go from hurt to healed because of Jesus. A note from Pastor Chris Glad you checked this out.

   Did Jesus Really Rise From the Dead? | Valid Faith

   VALID FAITH – WEEK 3 Did Jesus Really Rise From the Dead? Christianity makes an enormous claim: a dead man got back up. Instead of asking you to borrow somebody else’s faith, this message asks you to look at the evidence for yourself, including what sources outside the Bible can and cannot tell us about Jesus, His crucifixion, and the earliest Christian resurrection claim. Watch the Message (#watch)Examine the Evidence (#evidence) Chris Fluitt – September 20, 2026 – Redemption Church, Plano Watch + Listen Watch or Listen to the Message YOUTUBE EMBED PLACEHOLDER Replace with the Week 3 YouTube embed when availableListen to the Message Sunday audio will appear here when the message is available. Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redemption-church-plano-texas/id1520371394)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/4icNWrvvaLI6Y68ip6po0Q?si=89c49c76f6ee4240) The question underneath the Easter story What evidence is there that Jesus rose? “Of first importance”: Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised, and appeared to witnesses. 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 1. Jesus entered history The message points beyond the New Testament to Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny, Suetonius, and Lucian as references connected to Jesus and early Christianity. 2. Jesus was crucified Tacitus, a Roman historian critical of Christianity, connects Christus, Pontius Pilate, and execution. 3. Christians worshiped the crucified Jesus Pliny reports Christians singing to Christ “as to a god,” while the Alexamenos graffiti mocks worship of a crucified God. 4. Resurrection was proclaimed early Paul says he passed on what he had received. The resurrection claim is presented as early Christian proclamation, not a story added centuries later. 5. Named people claimed they saw Him Peter, the Twelve, more than 500, James, and Paul are named in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8. 6. Frightened followers became public witnesses The disciples move from fear and scattering to publicly proclaiming that God raised Jesus from the dead. History outside the New Testament Is there evidence for Jesus outside the Bible? Yes. The evidence for Jesus does not begin and end with the New Testament. Roman and Jewish historians who were not Christians wrote about Jesus, His crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, the movement that followed Him, the worship of Christ—and even His resurrection. That matters. These are historical witnesses outside Scripture, written by people who were not Christians. They give us historical evidence that can be examined alongside the testimony of the New Testament. History gives us evidence. We investigate that evidence, weigh it honestly, and decide what best explains it. So what evidence do we have for Jesus? What does Tacitus tell us? Tacitus was one of Rome’s important historians—and he was certainly no Christian advocate. Writing around AD 116, he records that Christus suffered the “extreme penalty” during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of Pontius Pilate. That is significant independent testimony to the crucifixion. Anyone who argues that Jesus never died on the cross has a mountain of historical evidence to overcome. The crucifixion isn’t simply something Christians wrote in the Bible; a hostile Roman historian records Christ’s execution under Pilate. What does Josephus tell us? Josephus was a first-century Jewish historian. Writing in Antiquities around AD 93–94, he describes Jesus as a wise man and doer of remarkable works, records His condemnation under Pilate, and writes that “he appeared to them alive again the third day.” Don’t miss that. Josephus includes the resurrection in his historical account. Those who deny the resurrection have this evidence to wrestle with. Those who receive the resurrection can stand on this evidence. The question is what you will do with it. What does Pliny the Younger tell us? Around AD 112, the Roman governor Pliny the Younger wrote to Emperor Trajan because he was dealing with Christians and wanted to know how Rome should handle them. In describing their practices, Pliny reports that Christians gathered on a fixed day and sang hymns to Christ “as to a god.” This is evidence from a Roman official that Christians were worshiping Jesus as God. Almost two thousand years later, we are still doing exactly that—we worship Jesus Christ as Lord. What does the Alexamenos Graffito show us? Someone in ancient Rome scratched a crude picture meant to ridicule a Christian named Alexamenos. It depicts a crucified figure with a donkey’s head and Alexamenos standing before him in worship. The mocker meant it as an insult: Alexamenos worships his god. But look at what the mockery preserves. A Christian is pictured worshiping the crucified Christ, with his hand raised toward Him. What was intended as ridicule became historical evidence of Christian worship. They worshiped the crucified Christ then. We still lift our hands and worship Jesus today. Follow the evidence Tacitus. Josephus. Pliny. The Alexamenos Graffito. Different sources. Different perspectives. None of them Christian Scripture. Yet together they add to a historical case that cannot simply be waved away. And that is the point of Valid Faith. You don’t have to be afraid of the evidence. Investigate it. Ask hard questions. Follow it wherever it leads. The resurrection is not asking you to believe something without evidence. There is evidence. The question is what you will do with it. Further Study Read the historical sources and examine the evidence for yourself. Tacitus, Annals 15.44 (https://dcc.dickinson.edu/tacitus-annals/15-44) Josephus, Antiquities 18 (https://penelope.uchicago.edu/josephus/ant-18.html) Pliny to Trajan (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/maps/primary/pliny.html) Alexamenos Graffito (https://colosseo.it/en/opere/scratched-graffito-with-blasphemous-crucifix/) What best explains it? This is not only history. This is the gospel. Jesus died for our sins. He was buried. He rose again. Because Jesus lives, forgiveness, new life, hope, and eternal life are real, and death does not get the final word. Confess Him Romans 10:9 connects confessing Jesus as Lord with believing that God raised Him from the dead. Take your next step Don’t leave wondering what comes next. Start a conversation and let someone walk with you. Live with Him Talk to Him. Follow Him. Trust Him. Walk with Him. Jesus is alive.

This message examines non-Christian historical references connected to Jesus, His crucifixion, and early Christian worship. Was the resurrection claim added much later? 1 Corinthians 15 presents Paul passing on a resurrection proclamation he had already received, placing the claim early in the Christian movement. Why does the resurrection matter personally? The message does not stop with evidence: if Jesus is alive, forgiveness, new life, hope, and eternal life become a personal invitation to respond.

   Valid Faith – 2 – Can I Trust the Bible?

   https://youtu.be/451XDwxqyfE?si=X9Sgw4V9nffqfwZ5 Follow along with us! (https://redemptionplano.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/HANDOUT_VALID-FAITH-2-Can-I-Trust-The-Bible.pdf) GRAB 30 HONEST QUESTIONS 30 real questions, short/simple answers….God, science, Bible, suffering, doubt, church hurt… Grab one for yourself. Share one with your friends. Intro – Jonathan Hiesberger ME: My name is Jonathan Hiesberger. I’m from Waco, TX. Born and raised. I went to Waco High School. That’s where I met Pastor. School teacher by profession, Year 23 of teaching high school SPED/Math. Pray for our teachers!! My faith is HUGELY important to me. God has done great things in my life. There have been battles. One thing I’ve learned through trials/struggles I NEED THE WORD OF GOD IN MY LIFE. People who haven’t known me very long might be surprised -Dark times -Negative mindsets -Anxiety, Depression… -Worry, fear The only thing that sees me standing? God’s Word. God’s Word has sustained me through all these battles, but I have had to hold on to and not doubt God’s word. Through these storms I had to learn to REALLY trust God’s Word. Maybe today you might be wondering “can I really trust God’s Word? We are living in an age where we are having trouble trusting the voices of authority speaking into our lives. -People no longer trust traditional institutions -Trust in media is at an all time low -AI deepfakes and content that looks real but is not. -Church leaders. People are asking: “Who can I trust?” That distrust reaches the Bible itself. DO AMERICANS TRUST THE BIBLE? -Only 36% of Americans say the Bible is accurate in the principles it teaches. –1 in 5 Americans believe the Bible was written to control or manipulate people. That is a big divide. People are asking questions like: “Has it been changed?” “Who decided what went in it?” “Was it written to control people?” People are basically asking: “Can I trust the Bible?” TRUST is a BIG ISSUE – That is why I named this message… Valid Faith Week 2: Can I Trust the Bible? Scriptures and Reliability If you have been struggling with this, you’re not alone. I see many Christians who are wrestling with this topic. Social Media. It’s ok to ask the questions. It’s ok to engage with the evidence. After today, I believe I can show you there is a REASON for your HOPE. 1 Peter 3:15 NIV I want to give you some reasons for your hope. I want to talk to you about why God’s Word is trustworthy. We know the Bible says that it is reliable The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” – Isaiah 40:8, NIV God’s Word is here and it’s not going anywhere The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” – Jeremiah 1:12, NIV God is active in watching over and superintending His Word. Luke 1:37, NIV: “For no word from God will ever fail.” Angel Gabriel testifies that God’s word is UNFAILING. What does all this mean? God has declared that His Word is Reliable. Think of things in your life that are reliable. Whether things or people, You feel like you can put COMPLETE trust in them. God’s Word is even MORE reliable. God’s Word is Reliable Because of the Preserved Witness of the Early Church The scriptures we have in your New Testament – Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, the letters of the apostles including Paul Jesus words, Jesus’ teachings Who witnessed these things? Those who walked with Jesus, saw His miracles, saw His death, burial, and resurrection. Apostles – trusted eyewitnesses wrote gospels and Letters – received in the churches, shared in the churches, copied, copied again They handed this collection of writings down to us and testified that it was really the writings of inspired men of God who Jesus had spoken with and spent time with. If you want to know what they witnessed, it is written in YOUR bible. They saw the early things that happened in the new testament church and they wanted you to know. God inspired them to write those things for your benefit. We can trust the Bible because of their testimony. God’s Word is reliable because it is preserved in Greek manuscripts Ancient versions in different languages Quotations outside the Bible Manuscripts are simply ancient documents (papyrus, parchments) Plants/animal skins Scrolls/Books Mentioned copies before Bible original written in ancient Greek Maybe 100? Maybe 500? More than 5,800 Greek New Testament manuscripts exist. These range from small fragments to nearly complete Bibles. 5,800! They wanted to get the WORD to as many people ASAP But not everyone spoke Greek More than 18,000+ additional manuscripts exist in other ancient languages. Old Latin Aramaic Syriac Coptic Armenian Ethiopian Gothic The Early church wanted to bring the saving message to the WHOLE WORLD and we have the manuscripts to prove it. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! People liked to write about Jesus. They lived in a hostile, pagan world and were defending their faith. Writers outside the Bible provide more than one million quotations from the New Testament. 1,000,000 quotations in the years immediately following the apostles. Imagine something we hope never happens – imagine all the manuscripts disappear – all the Greek, ancient versions, etc We would still have Bible. Why? These quotations are so extensive that scholars have argued that virtually the entire New Testament could be reconstructed from them, with fewer than a dozen verses being exceptions. The New Testament Has Extraordinary Historical and Manuscript Evidence large quantity of ancient manuscripts ALSO early date of biblical manuscripts. We have manuscripts and manuscript fragments go back very close to the time of the original writings- to the life of Jesus and the apostles Compare that to other ancient writings Herodotus’ History – we have 8 manuscripts 1350 years after they were written Julius Cesar’s Gallic Wars – 10 documents 900 years later Tacitus’ Historys and Annals – 9 manuscripts 750 years later New Testament: 5800+ manuscripts Fragment: 30-50 years after original Most of NT: 150 years after original All of NT: 250 years after original The New Testament has far greater manuscript attestation than other ancient literature. If manuscript quantity and age alone disqualified the New Testament, virtually all ancient historical writings would face the same problem. If you don’t have the Bible, you don’t have anything. If you doubt Jesus existed, how can you believe in Julius Ceasar? Modern scholars don’t doubt that Jesus existed. We have more copies than any other ancient work. PERIOD. What about the 1 in 5 people that manipulate? BUT how do we know it hasn’t changed over time? The fact there is all these manuscripts show it hasn’t changed. If there was huge changed we would see it in the manuscripts If I had time I could go into detail about the very early fragments, Very early Greek copies, so autographs are even early Found in different lands from which they are written And they are the same as what is in your Bible! Not the telephone game That’s not how the Bible came to you. Thousands of manuscripts received from the churches they were written to being copied Found in completely different countries and lands With the most Ancient agreeing with the later manuscripts which agree with your Bible What would it take for the Bible to have been changed? Impossible to change all the manuscripts. Geographic diversity, all the versions, quotations, manuscripts not even yet discovered Are you seeing how silly this argument is? Who decided what books to put the Bible in the first place? Canons – early church documents that point to what books were accepted and which books were not This is HUGE – we have the witness from the early church showing which books they considered trustworthy; which books to die for if Roman soldiers showed up Early Christians memorized entire books of the New Testament (Egypt and other places it was a requirement to be in the ministry) Muratorian Canon – AD 170 Perhaps oldest known list of most of books of NT List of “Accepted” books and “Rejected” books All 4, Gospels, Acts, Jude, 1 John, another epistle of John, Revelation, and epistles of Paul accepted Accepted books were written by apostles or people who knew apostles Shows us that Early Christians already had a belief about what WAS and what WAS NOT scripture. Probably written several hundred years after the apostles?? So the church can figure out how to control people, right??? Wrong! This is still when Christians were being killed for their faith They were trusting on Jesus and depending on His Word just to make it. Muratorian fragment preserved in Milan, Bibliotheca Ambrosiana, Cod. J 101 sup. EARLY CHRISTIANITY DID NOT ACCEPT OTHER BOOKS Only one NT book we don’t know who author is Gospels of Peter and James, 3rd corinthians, epistle to laodocians, etc OLD TESTAMENT We have manuscripts in Hebrew and Aramaic, and also in Greek of the Old Testament. The Masoretic Text is the authoritative Hebrew and Aramaic textual tradition preserved by Jewish scribes called the Masoretes. We also have the Septuagint, which is the Greek Old Testament. Jews carefully copied and standardized the Hebrew Scriptures. Until recently, The oldest known complete copies of the Hebrew Bible go back to 900-1000 AD. Although Jews were very careful in the copies, one might still try to raise doubt. UNTIL what is arguably the greatest find in modern archaeology: The Dead Sea Scrolls Support the Reliability of the Old Testament Discovered beginning in 1947 in caves near the Dead Sea at Qumran. 3 Bedouin shepherds discovered ancient scrolls hidden in the caves. 15,000 texts, 40% of which are copies of Biblical texts There is a scholarly consensus on the age of the Dead sea scrolls Paleographical dating, Radiocarbon dating, and archaeological evidence all support a date of these writings that go as far back as the 3rd century BC. Portions of every Old Testament book except Esther were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. What does this all mean? The scriptures found in your Bible are OLD and some of the go back to BEFORE the time of Jesus and the apostles. Before Christianity. “Many of the scrolls are practically identical with the Masoretic text, which thus takes this recension back in history to pre-Christian times” – Encyclopedia Brittanica The Hebrew text is ANCIENT. Among the discoveries was the Great Isaiah Scroll. The source dates it to approximately 125 BC. It contains essentially the complete book of Isaiah. When the Great Isaiah Scroll was compared with the later Masoretic Text: The two were found to be remarkably similar. Word for Word identical in 95% of the text 5% difference were mostly slips of the pen and spelling Isaiah is important because it foretells the birth of the Messiah (Isaiah 7) the suffering of the Messiah (Isaiah 53) and the reign of the messiah (Isaiah 9) BEFORE Jesus was born! The Dead Sea Scrolls pushed surviving Hebrew biblical manuscripts back more than 1000 years. They provide ancient witnesses to the Hebrew Scriptures and support the stability of the textual tradition. Authenticate the OT in YOUR Bible! Your Bible didnt’ just show up yesterday! It is ANCIENT. It is RELIABLE. Your faith is VALID. We’re talking about valid faith, believing in God’s Word is VALID FAITH. God’s Word is reliable for many more reasons! Unique Moral teachings Confirming scientific concepts before science itself did History and archaeology confirms it Fulfilled prophecy If we had more time we could dive in to all those things We know God’s Word is Reliable because of how it changes lives! Grew up without a dad Grandma worked 16 hour doubles at the nursing home to feed us Struggled with unusual anxieties, obsessive worries Fear and insecurity and isolation BUT I read about God in His Word That began a conversation Earnestly prayed that God would be real in my life Don’t wanna just read about You He brought me into contact with people of faith Started going to church That led me to an altar of repentance A place where i could connect with God I didn’t have a fancy prayer I just remember praying God, would you be my Father? That night I had a encounter with God I had an encounter with my Father It started with faith, you see friends I read about Him in His Word. God gave me His Word He wanted me to know Him. He is my Father and wanted a relationship with Me. And that has changed everything. And then later when the trials came The dark nights When I lost my way And let anxiety creep And the emotions cloud my thinking and mindset And I didn’t know what to do When I returned to the Word of God And REALLY believed it And REALLY applied to my life That’s when Victory came!! I am not just sermonizing God’s Word has GIVEN ME MY LIFE He has rescued me!! But I had to stand on the Word That’s great Jonathan, but does this have to do with me? What does His Word accomplish in my life? The question what can’t God’s Word do in your life? Do you need wisdom? It has wisdom Do you need hope? Hope for your family Hope for your finances Hope for your relationships Comfort in the dark times A voice than can push back fear and the lies That seek to destroy you and those you love God’s Word has all these things for you if you will have faith It’s not just another self-help book Self-help books can claim to do all these things But the Word of God connects you to the ONE who can Fill that God-shaped hole in your soul. It connects you to biggest thing that’s ever going to happen to you And that is an encounter with Jesus Christ Like the encounter an 18 year old boy from Waco Texas had one Wednesday night And a life was saved And a destiny was forever changed It starts with Valid faith We can have faith in God’s Word Would you stand with me? 3 things I want you to do with this message Call To Action – How to rely on God’s Word God’s Word is not just information—it is meant to transform us. 1. ABSORB Read God’s Word. Take it in. Feed on it. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” God’s Word is spiritual food. Don’t just read it—absorb it. Hide it in your heart. Make a commitment to spend time in God’s Word every day. 2. AGREE Agreement means saying: “God, even when I don’t understand it, I choose to believe what Your Word says.” We agree with God—not with our feelings, our culture, or our limited understanding. Sometimes we want to argue with God. We want to explain why we think our way is better. But agreement brings us to a place of surrender: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Agreement is powerful because it is part of repentance. It prepares our hearts to change. Before we can live God’s way, we must first decide that God’s way is right. We meet with God every day in prayer and confess that we want His Kingdom to Come and His will to be done in our lives. Which leads us to the last step 3. ALIGN Alignment means bringing our lives into line with God’s Word. We don’t just hear the truth—we live it. Even when we don’t understand. You see, alignment becomes easier when we have already crossed the bridge of agreement. When the Bible says something like love your enemies, pray for those who despitefully use you And that makes no sense us, but you trust in God and His Word. And we submit that area of our lives to His Will, we can begin to be more like Him. Absorbing God’s Word brings us direction. Agreement to God’s Word prepares the heart. Alignment to God’s Word changes the life. We read God’s Word. We agree with God’s Word. We live out God’s Word. ABSORB. AGREE. ALIGN. Let God’s Word transform you. You can trust God’s Word. It has not changed—what IS changing are people’s lives. He doesn’t change, but He is changing us to conform to the image of His Son. Keep reading. Keep trusting. Keep growing. And as God’s Word transforms you, you will become more and more like Jesus.
