This week we walk through the resurrection in Matthew with our very own Pastor Jess. He takes an unconventional approach, inviting us to ponder where we may have made Jesus the background screenshot of our lives, like an assistant, rather than the forefront and leader of our lives He is supposed to be. We see where we have majored on the blessings and purpose He gives rather than the blessing He wants to form within us.Pastor Jess takes us through his own testimony and displays the introduction of his own relationship with God and how this shifted him to the wonder of God.

This last Sunday Pastor Jess walked us through the power of sin and where it begins as we looked in the book of Romans.What's is behind sin? That which compels and drives us and that is what God is after. When you pray the prayer “lead us not into temption” you are saying “God, keep me from sinning.” The prayer is designed to help us declare we do not want to sin anymore. God free us from the world and our sin and get our story back to the Gospel story.

What am I leaving in? What's living in me? When the question is asked, we find that if we are IN Christ we can form ourselves in His teachings. When we are IN Jesus, we act like Him. What is it that you're following? We were designed to live in God. He wants us to be in Him and Him in us. We move ahead with God when we give up our lives for His journey.

Continuing our conversation asking the question, "Will the real Gospel please stand up?" We look at another aspect of the Gospel - incarnation - as we talk about our Incarnate King with Pastor Jerushah Tanner.

What does God act like? 1) He emptied Himself, 2) He enslaved Himself, 3) He "obediented" Himself. Eat last, speak last, outlast.

Guest Speaker Pastor Jared Lyons. Three Principles about "But, What If?" Moments: 1) They Are Paralyzing, 2) They Are Contagious, 3) They Are Overcome with Faith.

Habits Jesus Inhabits: 1) Morning by morning, 2) Sabbath meal by Sabbath meal, 3) Lord’s Table by Lord’s Table

How do we live in this counter-cultural way of life? 1) Recognize God's goodness, 2) Know God's "Khesed," 3) Delight in God's personal presence

Pastor Jerushah invites us to do a 360 on a faithful life as we look at Psalm 1. We see faithfulness from 3 different angles—a road, a tree, and a seed.
