We live in a world today that is constantly calling our name and defining our worth. It tells us who to be and how to act and often times tells us that we are either too much or not enough. But as Christ-followers, our identity isn’t dictated by the world; we go to God’s word to discover that. God created us in His image with His very imprint. He calls us by name. We were made to have a deep awareness of who we represent. We represent the King. We are a representation of our Heavenly Father. We are strong, we are powerful, and we are warriors. We are made in His image.

Why do so many believers struggle to walk away from sin after saying “yes” to Jesus? Listen as Pastor Pete wraps up this series by sharing a powerful message on the tension between grace and truth and teaches about what grace really is, the difference between saving grace, sanctifying grace and serving grace, and the power that it gives us to turn away from sin.

We've all got a race to run: a place to go, a task to complete, a person to help, a challenge to overcome. But we can't stay where we are. We have to move forward. You're not the first person to run this race, and you're not the last. You can make progress like those who've gone before you. You can do this, one step at a time. It's not easy, but you're not done. You've got what it takes. Pastor Pete continues the series by talking about the step of baptism in the life of a Christ-follower. Following Jesus is personal, but it is not private. Baptism is an outward reflection of an inner connection with God.

Jesus said that his followers would be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the world. But for many Christ-followers, the concept of foreign missions has historically been something that they feel pretty removed from and maybe throw a few dollars in the offering for a few times a year without it ever really impacting their life. But the call to be his witnesses is for all Christ-followers. Listen as Dr. Paul “Bobby” Gupta, President & Director of the ministries of Hindustan Bible Institute & College, which Life Church Buffalo supports, shares that you’ve got what it takes to think globally and act locally as a witness of Jesus Christ.

We've all got a race to run: a place to go, a task to complete, a person to

help, a challenge to overcome. But we can't stay where we are. We have to

move forward. You're not the first person to run this race, and you're not

the last. You can make progress like those who've gone before you. You can

do this, one step at a time. It's not easy, but you're not done. You've got

what it takes. In part one of the series, Pastor Pete shares three things

that are required to do something great with your life.

If you’ve ever experienced the pain of unexpected loss or been confused by the trials and tragedies that happen in life and said “God, why? Where are you?,” then you can relate with Jesus’ disciples after they watched their leader and their friend die. They were hurt, shocked, and confused. God hadn’t done what they expected Him to do. But when the disciples thought God was absent, idle, or not paying attention, He was actually engineering the greatest miracle of all time. The resurrection is an anchor you can hold on to no matter what difficulty you’re going through. You might be living in a Friday, but God knows that Sunday is coming!

Most people know that Good Friday is the day we remember that Jesus died on the cross for the sins of humanity. But the night before he died he shared his final Passover meal with his disciples at which he gave new meaning to the elements of that meal, and He also uttered the famous words “Remember me.” Listen as Pastor Pete shares why it’s so important to intentionally remember what Christ has done for us through communion. Remember Him because He hasn’t forgotten you.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. It’s the day we remember and celebrate the Triumphal Entry of Jesus as he made his way into Jerusalem just a few days before his crucifixion. But was the cross His ultimate destination? Listen as Pastor Pete kicks off this new series by explaining that the cross was just a stopping point on the way to His ultimate destination, which tells us that Easter really is for everyone!

As Christians, the church doesn’t exist for us. We are the Church and we exist to reach the world. But we can’t do that if we’re not fervent in spirit. Listen as Pastor Pete describes what it means and why it’s so important to be “fired up” for God.
