Welcome back to The Boundless Daily. Day 3. Today we’re answering three of the biggest search questions on the internet: Who is Jesus Christ? Is Jesus God? How do you know Jesus personally? We’re diving into something that changes everything: the deity of Jesus Christ. This isn’t just theology. It’s the foundation of our faith. It’s the reason we worship Jesus, pray to Him, and trust Him with our eternity. So let’s talk about who Jesus really is. Who Is Jesus Christ? If you

Have you ever been in a room full of people and still felt completely alone? Maybe you’re a late-shift worker getting home when the rest of the world is waking up. Maybe you’re a caregiver in a quiet house, or someone living in a place where you can’t openly share your faith. Loneliness doesn't care about your follower count or how many unread messages are in your inbox. It’s a heavy, hollow feeling that makes you wonder: If God is real, and if He loves me, why am I so alone?

If you walk into a coffee shop or scroll through social media and ask people what they think about Jesus, you’ll get a lot of positive vibes. Most people are "cool" with Jesus. They see him as a revolutionary, a philosopher, or a really great moral teacher who told us to love our neighbors. It’s a safe version of Jesus. A version that fits nicely on a bumper sticker or a greeting card. But here is the thing: Jesus didn't give us the option to just call him a "good teacher." W

The Assemblies of God is committed to the 901 because the 16 Fundamental Truths aren't just doctrine, they're a living mission. In Memphis, Bartlett, and Cordova, these biblical foundations guide how we worship, serve, and reach our neighbors with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ.

Internal Audience: Tier 2 – Seekers and Skeptics Repentance is a complete change of mind and heart that turns you away from sin and toward God. It's not just feeling bad about getting caught, it's genuine sorrow for your actions, a decision to change direction, and a commitment to follow Jesus. True repentance transforms how you think, feel, and live. Why This Matters for Memphis (and Beyond) At First Assembly Memphis, we believe transformation is possible for anyone. Whe

Yes. You can grow in faith even when you can’t attend in person. God’s Word still nourishes you, the Holy Spirit still fills and leads you, and biblical community is still possible through intentional connection. The goal isn’t isolation—it’s staying rooted in Jesus and connected to His people. Why This Question Matters (And Why We’re Asking It) Some seasons of life don’t fit the “Sunday morning at 10 a.m.” model. Maybe you’re caring for an aging parent. Maybe you’re deploy

Internal Audience Label: Tier 1 – Skeptical Seekers Yes—God still heals people today. As Assemblies of God believers, we believe divine healing is a core biblical truth and we pray for the sick in faith, trusting the Holy Spirit to work. Whether healing is instant, gradual, or ultimately fulfilled in eternity, God is still good and still near. Is Miraculous Healing Still Possible for Me Today? Let me be straight with you: when someone asks this, it’s usually personal. It’s

Hey friend, Picture this: The camera pans across an empty room. Chairs sit in perfect rows, waiting. The lights are dimmed, and there's this beautiful stillness in the air, the kind of moment right before something incredible happens. Then, one by one, people start walking through the doors. Strangers at first, but watch what happens next. Conversations spark. Laughter echoes. Connection begins to weave invisible threads between souls who didn't even know they needed each oth

Picture this: it’s 2:47 AM. A teen can’t sleep. They’re on their phone. Not doing anything “crazy.” Just scrolling… and one message, one link, one DM, one private chat can change the whole night. If you’re a parent, you already feel the tension. You want to protect your kids without turning your home into a surveillance state. You want to raise wise, brave disciples of Jesus… in a world that’s always online. I’m Dr. Layne McDonald, Online and Connection Pastor at FA Memphis a

"Mom, is Jesus coming back soon?" "Dad, why do earthquakes happen? Is the world ending?" "Are we in the end times?" If you've heard these questions at bedtime or during dinner, you're not alone. Kids are paying attention. They hear news reports, catch snippets of adult conversations, and absorb more than we realize. And here's the beautiful truth: their curiosity about Jesus' return isn't something to avoid, it's something to celebrate. The second coming of Christ is called "

We live in a world of quick swipes, surface-level connections, and friendships that fade the moment things get inconvenient. But what if there was a "hack" for building friendships that actually last? The kind that weather storms, survive distance, and grow deeper with time? Spoiler alert: there is. And it's been right there in Scripture for thousands of years. Today, we're diving into one of the most powerful examples of godly friendship ever recorded: the story of Ruth and

Community isn't just what happens on Sunday morning. It's the texts during the week. The prayer requests at midnight. The questions that don't wait for a small group meeting. And yet, many church leaders are still building community using the same playbook from 30 years ago: when everyone lived within five miles of the church building and worked 9-to-5 schedules. The world has changed. People's rhythms have changed. But the need for real connection? That hasn't changed one bi

Building genuine Christian community is hard work. You can have the best intentions, the most polished Sunday service, and a calendar packed with events : and still watch people slip through the cracks. It's not because you're doing everything wrong. It's because a few key mistakes can quietly sabotage even the strongest ministry vision. Dr. Layne McDonald, Online and Connection Pastor at FA Memphis and Boundless Online Church, has spent years watching what works (and what do

Audience: Tier 2 – Seekers The rapture is when Jesus returns to "catch up" all believers, living and dead, to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). It's not about Hollywood chaos, burning cars, or plane crashes. It's God's rescue plan before judgment, offering believers resurrected bodies and eternal hope. It's sudden, supernatural, and centered on Christ, not special effects. Why This Matters for FA Memphis and Boundless Online Church At First Assembly Memphis and
