This message offers principle #2 of engaging a Meta-Modern generation with the hope of the gospel with truth and grace. Following Jesus' example to empathize with human weakness and the power of humility in relating with others. We see that weakness can build bridges, fostering relationships and understanding. Weakness can build sympathy, creating common ground for connection and our weakness can bring God glory! Where we are weak, He is strong! We are encouraged to step out of our comfort zones to those on the margins, embodying Christ love and compassion in practical ways.

This message emphasizes the importance of seeing beyond the outward appearances and recognizing the divine image within each person. We go back to the forest, and see the illustration of how we can often miss seeing people for the cultural forest. Jesus encourages us to move past superficial judgments to uncover the inherent value and dignity present in every individual and call people to flourish in life by reflecting their creator. 

There is a tension in how to respond to people in a changing culture. In the same way the Father sent Jesus, so he is sending us into a dark and broken world to be a light to bring proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus! Some people separate and abandon the generation, some confront to attack, while others give way and just accept the new way. Jesus came demonstrating a better way. He came full of grace and truth!

Our faith in God compels us to look forward with hope to the next generation. We live in an incredible moment at the beginning of a generational change that opens the wonderful opportunity to share the good news of Jesus. The church needs people like the men of Issachar who had understanding of the times and knew what they ought to do.

Second message in a short series on Revelation 1. God begins his judgement with the people of God! This sobering fact should cause us to approach the world with humility as we have been forgiven much!

Guest speaker Paul Fredrick introduces the book of Revelation by showing the Old Testament smoothie. There are themes and images in the Biblical narrative that help demonstrate that Jesus is God and fulfillment of the hope for humanity!

Stand alone message given at Hope Fellowship. Baptism is this powerful moment when multiple things align - creation, purification, identification, vocation, redemption, salvation!

The end of Zechariah ties together so many themes and images of the Bible and points us to keep reading! This message gives a broader view of the whole story of God and where the context of Zechariah fits.

This Easter message continues the series through Zechariah and weaves together biblical prophecy, historical narrative, and personal reflection to offer a compelling invitation to encounter the grace and mercy found in Christ's sacrificial love. It will encourage you to respond to the invitation by placing your trust in Jesus and experiencing the transformative power of His pierced hands.

Zechariah is given a message for the people that prophecies about the day when their great king would come to Jerusalem, humble and riding on a donkey. The first half of the chapter gives the reason to respond in the coming day of the Lord and the second half the reason to rejoice for those who eagerly await his coming!
