The story of Easter is not just about what happened to Jesus—it’s about what His resurrection means for us today. Think about the disciples on Friday. They had placed all their hope in Jesus, believing He was the Messiah who would redeem Israel. But then, they watched Him die. They were devastated, confused, and afraid. Saturday was silent—God seemed absent. But Sunday changed everything. In just three days, their sorrow turned to ...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been walking through a series and a season of Advent. That word “Advent” means “to wait” or “to anticipate.” We’ve seen how Christmas was the culmination of Advent#1 — 2,000 years ago — God’s people were waiting for the Messiah, and they were waiting because God had promised them that He would send a Savior. Seven hundred years after the promise was made, the promise was fulfilled, and Jesus Christ wa...

Are you waiting for God to come through for you right now? Are you waiting for God to prove Himself faithful? Are you waiting for God to keep His word? If you answered yes to any of those questions, I want to remind you that you’re waiting on a God that always comes through. He’s a God who always keeps His promises. He’s never broken a single promise. When God told His people that a baby was coming, peace was coming, His Son, the M...

If your joy comes from a thing, you’ll always need more of that thing to maintain your joy. But that’s not the way joy was designed to work. God never said that our joy should be contingent on our circumstances. He said our joy comes from our Savior. And that doesn’t mean things are always going to go our way. It doesn’t mean we won’t experience trials and difficulties along the way. But the truth is that you can be sad on the surf...

Have you ever wondered how people were saved before Jesus came to the earth? After all, we’ve grown up hearing the Gospel, which is based on the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. So if that’s the case, how were people saved before those things happened? The answer is that people have always been saved by grace through faith. There was a moment in time when people had faith prior to having a long, extensive pattern. Those w...

As we read today’s text, we’ll see that God called the messenger, but when God called the messenger, the messenger refused the call. Jonah rejected the call of God on his life. But as messed up as that may be, Jonah did something even worse. You see, Jonah didn’t just reject the incoming call from God and send it to voicemail. No. He answered the phone. He heard God’s voice on the other line. He received clear instructions from God...

In John 17, Jesus gives us access to one of the most intimate moments He had with the Father while He was on earth. As we read about this encounter, we’ve been given an all-access pass to the Son of God’s situation room at one of His life's most pressure-packed moments. He’s looking to the sky and talking to God the Father just moments before He would be beaten and crucified and killed, and in that moment, what was on His heart? Wh...

Inside each of us, I believe there are 3 people: The person you are right now, the person you could become—if you allowed Satan to rule your life, and the person you could become if you allowed God to rule your life. Today, we’re going to talk about a man in the Bible, who I believe demonstrates for us the person we could be if we’d just surrender and let God be God in our lives. His name was Jabez. And while we don’t know a ton ab...

Your response to failure will either move you away from God or it'll make you more like God. And many times, we get it right, but a lot of times, we get it wrong. In today’s message, we're going

learn from Peter’s life how we can get it right beginning today. None of us enjoy talking about our shortcomings, but the truth is God can use the failure in your life to develop you as a disciple of Jesus Christ in a way that success never ...

I love the thought of Joseph of Arimethea, the man who let Jesus use his tomb, going home the night that Jesus was killed and telling his wife, “Hey honey, guess what? I have to confess to you,

I gave my tomb away.” In response, she might have looked at him and said, “Honey, how could you do that? You know how much it costs for us to have that tomb hewn out of the rock for me and for you and for our children and grandchildren.” But ...

Today we are going to continue our journey through the Holy Land and make a stop at Golgotha – the place where Jesus was crucified and died for our sins. This is a pivotal stop on our Holy Land Highlights tour, one that makes this journey so significant. For if Jesus hadn’t died, He wouldn’t have had the chance to be resurrected and become the Savior of the world. So today, we’re going to dive in and learn more about Golgotha and b...

In part five of our Holy Land Highlights series, we are going to discuss Caiaphas’s house. This was a place of major significance in the story of Jesus’ life and death. It is where Jesus was taken for the last night of His life before the crucifixion. So, what can we know about what happened from that Thursday night to Friday morning? Well, there’s no biblical account that explains in detail what Jesus experienced that night, but w...

As you read further in the gospel of Matthew, you see how the disciples reacted to all that Jesus went through in the final hours before His crucifixion. In His greatest hour of need, His closest friends scattered and left Him all alone. But before that, Jesus brought His disciples up on the Mount of Olives and told them to sit. As soon as they got to the Garden, Jesus told them to sit. Why is that? Well, that’s the question we’re ...

Jesus was always a great teacher, and one thing that made Him great (other than the fact that He’s the Son of God) was that He knew how to use visual aids to communicate His message. Jesus loved using visual aids in his teaching. So now, as we come to Matthew 16 in this message, you can just imagine what it must have been like as the disciples went through the gates and approached the center of this pagan city. I believe the accoun...

The question I want us to consider today is this: how do we love and serve the God who saved us? After all, I firmly believe that when you truly experience God, you should naturally want to serve God. In this message, we’re going to look at a couple of different ways we can serve God based on what we learn from those who served well in Scripture. The people we’re going to look at today set a great example of what it looks like to s...

I love today’s key passage of Scripture because it’s here where we first see the steps to becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. I believe you can summarize these steps with three things that Jesus does. I want us to unpack these three things today so that we can fully grasp what it is to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. As we grasp these steps, we can begin (or continue) to implement them in our lives so that we can live a life fully ...
