This week in our Easter series, we discussed what it means to find hope and peace in uncertain times by focusing on the person of Jesus. Charlie Loften reflected on John 14, a passage where Jesus comforts His troubled disciples by reminding them, "I am the way and the truth and the life." We explored how Jesus isn’t simply a moral teacher or guide, but the very source of truth, life, and our connection to God.

Charlie Loften addressed why our church prioritizes unity around Jesus over political or cultural groupthink, reminding us that the gospel invites everyone—regardless of background or belief—to belong and discover real hope. Through practical application, we were invited to examine where we place our hope and to let go of anxieties that come from trying to control our world.

Whether you’re wrestling with doubts or seeking direction, this message encourages us to turn our focus to Jesus as the foundation of lasting peace. Take time this week to consider where your hope truly lies and how Jesus may be inviting you to deeper trust.
