On the last night of Jesus' life, three people showed their true colors. One sold him out for money. A courtroom full of religious leaders bent their own rules to get rid of him. And the surprising thing they have in common: they all chose something over someone. Money. Control. Comfort. The uncomfortable part? Their reasons aren't that different from ours.

Jesus welcomed imperfect people to his table—betrayers, doubters, and failures alike. The same invitation remains today. Wherever you’re coming from, there is a seat at the table for you.

If you had one week left to live, what would matter most? During the week that changed the world—just days before the cross—Jesus was asked the most important question in all of Scripture: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment?” Jesus answered with clarity: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind… and love your neighbor as yourself.” — Matthew 22:37–39

Jesus came to rule as King. And to purify His people. If Jesus is King… then I’m not. Every heart has a throne. Who’s sitting on yours? Let's turn to Jesus and surrender our lives to Him.

Conversation is the pathway to invitation. Most of us don’t struggle with inviting… we struggle with starting a conversation. In this message, we unpack the “Bring” part of "Find, Tell, Bring" and talk about how simple, genuine curiosity opens doors for spiritual conversations. It’s helping someone take one step closer to Jesus.

In this message, we walk through the four movements of the gospel — Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration — and discover where you fit in God’s story. You were made in His image. Sin broke what was good. Jesus came to rescue. And one day, He’s making all things new.

Stories stick with us — way more than facts ever will. In this message, Pastor Michael reminds us that stories are powerful because they connect to the heart, not just the head. Scripture shows us that transformation isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about encountering Jesus. Your story matters. And it might be the very thing God uses to open someone’s eyes.

Helping people find and follow Jesus starts with people we already love. It’s relational, natural, and personal. It’s one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. Start with someone you love. God will do the rest.

Discipleship is not just information — it’s imitation. We are called to live in a way that others can follow: “Follow me as I follow Christ.” Jesus came to give us life to the full — and when we follow Him and help others follow Him, that life multiplies.

What if spiritual maturity isn’t about getting smarter, but getting aligned? This message challenges common assumptions about growth and invites us into a deeper, more dependent way of following—one rooted in obedience, practice, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
