Pastor Brian shares an awesome message this week that, even when we don’t feel it, even when the emotional high of a retreat ends, even when calamity comes our way, He is right there with us.

On the same day as Easter, two of Jesus’ followers were on the road. Jesus appeared to them after the resurrection, but He kept who He was from them. They asked themselves, “didn’t our hearts burn with passion when He spoke the scripture to us?” When was the last time our hearts were on fire for God? Pastor Brian gives a message about our hearts being on fire for Christ.

What’s incredible about the betrayal of Jesus, is that He already knew it happened before the guards came for him. Jesus still died on the cross for everyone, including Judas. If Jesus is willing to go that far for someone who will betray Him, it’s a promise He will go that far for you too. Pastor Brian preaches a POWERFUL message about the victory on the cross at this year’s Good Friday service.
