Jesus didn’t just heal people—He often asked questions that stopped them in their tracks. In this message from John 5, Grant Troutt walks us through a moment where Jesus asks a man who’s been suffering for 38 years, “Do you want to be healed?” Why would He ask that? And what does it reveal about our excuses, environments, and resistance to healing? Grant unpacks how Jesus sees us, knows us, and calls us to stop settling for temporary fixes—and start walking in real freedom.

Jesus didn’t hold back when He spoke, and some of His words are shocking. A lot of what He said gets misunderstood or even ignored. In this message, we’re launching a new series: “Jesus Said What? Shocking Statements from Jesus.” We’re starting with one of the heaviest Bible passages in Matthew 7:13-23, where Jesus says, “Depart from me, I never knew you.” What did He mean, and how do we ensure that these words never apply to us?

We have freedom in Jesus, but we keep running back to the cage of our idols. In Acts 19, the Ephesians didn’t just confess their idols—they burned them because they knew keeping them would cost more than surrendering them. Are you tired of confessing the same sin over and over? It’s time to stop running back, destroy what’s holding you back, and start walking in real freedom. What idol are you going to burn?

Shame—it’s heavy, it’s dirty, and it haunts you. What’s the thing you’ve decided to take to the grave? The thing you’re most embarrassed by, the thing keeping you from praying? In this episode, we dive into the story of Peter in John 21 and see how Jesus meets us in our mess, runs toward us in our shame, and turns our worst mistakes into a powerful message. No matter how far you’ve run or how heavy the burden feels, God is NOT done with you. Are you ready for freedom?

Daniel’s story in Daniel 6 shows us what real faithfulness looks like. His faith was distinguished by integrity, he was devoted to prayer despite the cost, and God’s power delivered him. In the end, life declared God’s greatness to everyone around him. Daniel didn’t bend under pressure because he knew the safest place to be was in radical obedience to God. If someone examined your life—your words, habits, and choices—would they find faithfulness?

How long will God let things go on like this? Does He see the injustice, the suffering, the sin piling up? The story of King Belshazzar in Daniel 5 proves that God does not ignore evil forever. He let prideful arrogance slide for so long before the writing was on the wall. Your days are numbered, your actions will be weighed, and your choices have consequences—when that moment comes, where will you stand?

Everyone wants love and connection, but too often, dating leads to more pain than purpose. Bad breakups, scars, and drama—many of the deepest wounds come from relationships that were never built to last. The Bible doesn’t mention dating directly, but it gives clear wisdom on love, marriage, and what it means to honor God in relationships. From God’s Word, we’ll unpack what dating is for, why it matters, and how to approach it with wisdom instead of regret. When we do it God’s way, relationships don’t leave us broken—they help us become who He’s called us to be.

If you could eliminate one sin from the world, what would it be? How do you think God would answer that question? The truth is, there’s one sin at the root of every other—one that separates us from God, poisons our relationships, and convinces us we don’t need help. In Daniel 4, we see what happens when pride takes over—and the only cure that sets us free. Join us as we uncover the condition, consequences, and cure for pride, and see how true humility leads to life and peace.

When life’s pressures and trials come, how can we be sure our faith will stand? In a world that constantly challenges what we believe, knowing if our faith is real is crucial. In His kindness, God preserved the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3 to show us what authentic faith looks like. Join us as we dive into this powerful chapter, learn to stand firm in the face of challenges, and experience the comfort of God’s presence through it all.

In a world where confusion and uncertainty are rampant, how do we find true wisdom? Our culture often stands in opposition to God and His ways, leaving us searching for clarity. In His kindness, God has preserved the story of King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2 to equip and empower His people with divine insight. Join us as we explore this powerful chapter, learn how to find the truth, and follow God's guidance in our lives.
