It’s important to understand that not only did Jesus humble Himself to take on a human nature, but He also stepped into the concept of time. Scripture shows that God doesn’t function on a timeline like the human race does, He is the beginning and the end at the same time. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there was a specific event, the Incarnation, where God took on human flesh and came to Earth in the form of Jesus. A person who had a fully godly and a fully human nature, at the same time.

Regardless of your past or present, God is beckoning you to draw nearer to Him. In your journey of growing closer to Him, have you experienced the power of His perfect love? When you allow His boundless love to infiltrate you, do you grow in closeness with Him? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that by basking in the radiance of God's perfect love, you can cultivate a deepening closeness with Him. His love, flawless and unconditional, becomes the catalyst for spiritual growth. 

When you immerse yourself in God’s Word, do you sense His guidance towards a purposeful existence? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that within God's Word, you can find the blueprint to your true purpose. The Bible will always offer direction and clarity when you’re trying to decipher your unique calling. Regardless of life's complexities, God's Word will always stand true, showing you the path toward a purpose-driven life. Allow God's Word to be your constant companion. 

When you get the keys to a car, you’re not being given the keys so that you can show off your influence and authority to others! You’re given those keys so that you can put the vehicle to use to transport people or things where they need to go! Pastor Jeff teaches the importance in understanding that while Peter was given the “keys to the Kingdom” by Jesus, he wasn’t being given a role of a authority. Peter was being empowered to serve others, to meet them on their level, and share the Gospel with them.

When Jesus encourages you to have endurance, He isn’t trying to say that salvation is something you can just lose! Rather, the endurance that Jesus is talking about is the ability to withstand the world’s trials. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the world will try all kinds of deception and trickery to distract you from the path of righteousness. But as long as you keep your eyes on Jesus, and on following the path He has set for your life, you’ll be able to withstand the storms the world is throwing at you. 

Do you consider yourself to be someone who is easily offended? Well, being a Christian is going to be a difficult challenge if that is the case. Pastor Jeff shows you today how Jesus wants you to not be easily offended, and to instead react with grace and love towards those who persecute you. Don’t allow yourself to be steamrolled by someone making credible threats against you, but when you show that you aren’t afraid to be called names because of your faith, those insults will just slide off your back.

Are you ever worried about blaspheming the Holy Spirit? About committing the unforgivable sin? Well, Pastor Jeff encourages you that by listening to this program today, you are in fact innocent of blasphemy! The Pharisees were guilty of blasphemy because they knew that Jesus fulfilled all of the signs of the Messiah, and yet they chose to accuse him of working under the power of Satan. They were looking the Son of God right in the face and called him a demon. Blasphemy requires intention.

When you think about the symbol of the cross in today’s age, you almost certainly think of it in relation to Jesus. But two thousand years ago, the cross symbolized a torturous death reserved for criminals. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when Jesus said to take up your cross, it means that you will have to give something up. Maybe it’s a relationship, maybe it’s a sinful habit that you indulge in, but there is always going to be something you must lose in order to follow the way of Christ.

When you actively engage in preaching God’s good news, do you ever experience His unwavering strength? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants to show you the inherent power found in proclaiming God's good news to the world. The act of sharing His message not only becomes a source of strength, but an avenue into God’s presence. Regardless of the storms that will come, preaching God's Word will always stand as a wellspring of strength. Uplift your faith by being a catalyst for God’s love.  

When you surrender to God’s perfect love, do you experience rapid growth? Today, Pastor Jeff illustrates that your life will improve by immersing yourself in God’s love. God’s love will never fail you and will only serve to carry you to the finish line. It stands as an unwavering force, propelling you toward self-discovery and purpose. Embrace this glorious journey, allowing God's love to consume you, and witness how it shapes you into the person you were always meant to be.
