What does it mean to truly be a disciple of Jesus, and not just a mere admirer of Him? The answer is found in the denial of self, which Jesus commands of those who want to truly follow Him. It is in our death to self that we can wholly give ourselves to God, finding true freedom, life and identity on the other side of it.

What if an interruption from Jesus could change your whole life? That's what happened to the man waiting by the Pool of Bethesda, desperate to be healed after 38 years of illness. When Jesus meets us, He can declare truth over every mindset that holds us back from wholeness. Do you want to get well?

In this week's message, we take time to celebrate and examine the Biblical principles of righteousness that America was founded on 250 years ago. From this foundation, we can look forward with faith and hope for what God has yet to do in America. God's not done dreaming over the future of America, and neither are we.

When Jesus put on flesh, He bore the weakness and humility of mankind. Jesus also put on the suffering of humanity, both in daily life and in His redemptive death on the Cross. This suffering is an invitation to us to lay all our burdens on Jesus, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Our healing is found in Jesus.

This message highlights God's desire to relate to us as His children, giving us a secure identity rooted in His love rather than our performance. As we learn to live as sons and daughters, we are transformed and better equipped to love, lead, and care for others. The journey from feeling like an orphan to living as a beloved child changes everything.

What if there was a special reward for those who fear God? In this message, Pastor Trevor dives into the book of Malachi, where a remnant of God's people are remembered by the Lord. God is restoring His church to the awe and the fear of the Lord, bringing together a people who are sold out for Him alone. His presence and blessing is our reward.

The greatest revelation of God in the scriptures is that He is holy. Trying harder or being better won't fix our sin problem. When we encounter Him and when we behold Him, it is then that we are changed by His holiness.

The world screams its truth about identity, success, and purpose, but God invites us to something greater: the ancient path. This isn't about adding Jesus to your life. It's about letting Him transform it completely. Take your walk with Christ more seriously. Also in this message, hear from nine School of Leadership students about how God has transformed their lives through discipleship in the last nine months.

What if you discovered something that could completely transform your life? King Josiah did. At 26 years old, he heard God's Word for the first time—and it shook him to his core. What would happen if we truly immersed ourselves in God's Word? When we tremble at His Word, renewal begins.

Are we living theoretical Christianity, drowning in knowledge but lacking obedience? Do we know more about the Bible than we're actually living? The fear of the Lord produces obedience like nothing else can. It's not behavioral modification - it's surrender flowing from seeing God clearly and trusting Him completely.
