Why do some people reject the gospel so strongly? Why do so many live their lives mocking God, ignorant of His Word, completely uninterested in spiritual truth? Jesus’ answer: They're spiritually blind. Before the Apostle Paul became one of the greatest missionaries in history, he wasn't merely resistant to Christ, Paul truly could not see Him. Salvation isn't about winning an argument or trying harder. It's about God opening blind eyes and drawing people to Himself. If you’re discouraged about someone who’s far from God, or praying for a loved one who just doesn't get it, this message will give you hope and a deeper understanding of God's grace.

The Word is clear: God is big and we are small.

Not resentfully. Not reluctantly. But we should joyfully find our right size next to the God who made everything.

When God is big, everything else finds its proper place. The burdens and struggles – even our religion – are finally brought into perspective.

This teaching series begins with "Bigger Than My Religion". Bring to the Lord whatever feels biggest in your life today, and discover what happens when it's right-sized.

Watch now.

We often remember His words, "Not my will, but Yours be done" (Luke 22:42)… but did you ever wonder what He prayed during those hours?

John 17 gives a glimpse into that conversation – and a discovery with the power to change the way you face every day. Jesus wasn't only praying for His disciples, He was praying for you. Let’s uncover one of the most encouraging truths in the Scriptures.

What's the greatest gift you've ever received?

While that likely stirs fresh memories from childhood, even the best gifts pale in comparison to what Jesus Christ has given us.

The Lord‘s gifts aren't temporary or superficial – they’re God's provision for your life – and they reveal His love, His care, and His purpose for His people.

Opposition for your faith in Christ doesn't mean something is wrong. It’s evidence you belong to Him. In John 15, Jesus warned His closest followers that they would be misunderstood, opposed and even persecuted. But His warning wasn't just for them – it matters for you and me today.
