Jesus endured six trials in one night, beaten, mocked, and condemned by people whose minds were already made up about Him. His Identity was questioned, His Innocence was ignored, and Injustice was committed against Him. The sinless Son of God willingly waited through suffering so that the guilty could walk free.

Jesus was tested in the most difficult moments of human experience-betrayal, chaos and injustice- and His perfection was revealed.  Because Jesus is perfect, He is able to perfectly save all who come to Him.

Most of us don't set out to fail, we drift into it.  Join us as we look at the Faithful one who is greater than all our failures...His name is Jesus.

While Jesus was preparing to serve and give His life for others, His disciples were arguing about which one of them was greatest.  Sin blinds us to what matters most and breaks the relationships around us.  Join us as we look at the one who defined and displayed true greatness.....His name is Jesus.

We either calibrate our lives to fit the truth, or are crushed by the truth.  Resistance without repentance always grows into rebellion.  Join us as we look at the One who changes everything...His name is Jesus!
