In the cross we see the incredible generosity of Jesus where he takes the worst of us onto Himself, and gives us the best of Himself as a free gift of grace.

This Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It can be easy to think that this event is mostly concerning our eternal salvation. In reality, the good news of the resurrection is something that impacts our daily lives. Find out how!

On Palm Sunday we remember the Triumphal Entry of Jesus that marks the beginning of the Passion Week. But what does that event truly signify for us today? And in what ways do we miss Jesus’ offer of peace, similar to how the people of His time did?

A lot of the slogans you hear repeated from well meaning Christians tend to gloss over the rough edges of life and faith. Jesus doesn’t do this. The Garden of Gethsemane experience gives us a deep look at a Savior who suffered deeply. In fact, he suffered alone, so we don’t have to.

Jesus shows us how to love each other by humbling himself and washing the feet of his disciples. The question for us is, are our lives too full to actually be able to serve anyone? Are we too full of ourselves to serve those in need?

In the story of the feeding of the 5,000 we learn that Jesus not only cares about the spiritual needs of people, he cares about their practical needs as well. How, as followers of Jesus, can demonstrate the same compassion the those around us?

As Jesus describes his compassion for those who are far from Him, we are challenged to ask ourselves to do a “heart check.” Do we care like Jesus cares? Are we willing to search like Jesus searches?

Have you ever felt discouraged in your faith? Does it ever feel like things are taking too long, or the cost for following Jesus is too high? In today’s teaching we look at several short parables of Jesus that encourage us not to quit before we see the harvest in our lives!

We often relate the supernatural power of God only in the form of healing. However, as we can see in scripture, His Word brings us eternal life which is healing, restoration and redemption beyond our human understanding! Let’s dive in and see the amazing power His Word holds! 

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gives us a beautiful vision for what the people of God can look like. If we can be transformed by following Him and become a people of deep character, faith and love—we can truly be the light of the world.
