Jesus was the perfect mix of grace and truth. Too often we want to experience the grace of Jesus when what we need to hear is the truth. This week we look at an encounter with Jesus that exposes another side of His love for us.

We all want an impactful life that is filled with joy. But sometimes our plans don’t work out. Sometimes what seemed to be full of joy turns negative. This week we look at a circumstance that had the potential to be robbed of joy until Jesus comes through.

On this first Sunday in Lent we dig deep into Isaiah 58 and talk about what true fasting according to God looks like. We can’t have a right relationship with God without having right relationships with others and society. How is God inviting you to fast in a way that loves your neighbors this Lent?

It is easy to have a misconception because we are Christians, life will be easy. The truth is, in this world, we will have trouble. This week, we talk about how to cope with the inevitable challenges we will have along our journey to be closer to Jesus.

Can we talk? How many times have we said that in our relationships that we value so much? Our Heavenly Father has the same heart for all of us, He so very much wants to talk with you. We just need to have the willingness to pause and listen to his still small voice.

As we continue the series “Closer”, you may be thinking that, for you, it’s impossible. You’ve strayed too far. This week we discuss what it looks like to come back and how Jesus receives you when you do.

Who do you follow on social media? It could be an athlete, political player, influencer or comedian. When we follow someone we have certain expectations based on their identity. This week we look at the Jesus we follow. Is he a teacher, good person, prophet or something else? How we view Jesus determines what kind of influence he has on our lives.

Growing closer to Jesus means giving him access and authority over every part of our lives. This week we talk about one of the areas in our life that we talk about, obsess over, worry about, and sometimes fear. We hate talking about it but we love getting it. Money.

Ever played tug-o-war? It’s best to have strong people on your team. You can pull as hard as you want but if you are by yourself you are going to lose. Maybe you have been taught that in your life with God you had to do it all yourself. Learn more, try harder, be bold and don’t give up. It sounds good. But what if God isn’t asking you to do that? What if every part of moving closer to Jesus involves other people? What if you are just responsible for a corner of the Kingdom of God.
