God created us to hunger; it’s in our very design. Yet, we crave and consume the things that curse and destroy. Why? This sermon, The Immortal King, is where Pastor Jess explains how sin created an entire sphere of hunger without the dominion of God—a reality that separated us from our original design to take, bless, break, and give back to the world. Don’t worry, this is just where the story gets started. Pr Jess goes on to share how Jesus gets His physical hands on us and we are sanctified, devoted to our original hunger—God.

We often think about faith as something we have, something we gain or grow. What happens when we read the word faithfulness in the Bible as not about our own faith but the faithfulness of Jesus?

It’s an episode you don’t want to miss!

It’s hard to know what to think or say when facing suffering. We wonder if we simply need to try harder, pray longer, fake-smile more….but what if suffering is not something to run from?

In this sermon, The Changing, guest Pastor Jared Strickland challenges us to consider the purpose and place of suffering. Through the story of the transfiguration found in Mark 9, Pr Jared explains how we can embrace suffering and walk through it being transformed in our mindset, posture, and outlook.

The debate has gone on for decades and still continues today—law or grace? In the third sermon of our When in Rome series, The Torah King, Pastor Jess challenges us with the idea of Jesus being not separate from, but instead the new and perfect Torah.
