Remember // Lent 2026: The Way of the Cross // Luke 23:27-43 // 03.15.26 // Tyler Carlson

Jesus stands trial before Pilate and Herod, revealing a clash of kingdoms, and Pilate’s question becomes ours: who is your King, and will you follow Jesus’ cross-shaped way instead of the world’s power games?

Bri walks through Peter denying Jesus

Gethsemane: Swords or Surrender? // Lent 2026: The Way of the Cross // Luke 22:37-55 // 02.22.26 // Doug Glynn

In this sermon, Doug explores the shift from 'performing for God' to 'practicing abiding with God,' showing how spiritual practices are not ways to earn God’s love but invitations to remain connected to the grace we already have in Christ.

From skepticism and doubt, to the deep trust of a friend: Bri explores how God meets our hesitation with reassurance and invites us to walk with Jesus not as servants striving, but as friends who are deeply loved.

Pastor Duane Duane framed his message as a “prequel” to the Disciple/Shift series: before we talk about following Jesus as disciples, we need to talk about becoming disciples—saying yes to Jesus and receiving new life in Him.

This week we explore the difference between living through the “lens of sinner” vs the “lens of saint.” Jesus invites us out of sin-management and shame, and into our true identity in Christ: beloved, forgiven, and made new.
