  • Lesson 14 | Only God Can Forgive Sins

    A man is lowered through a roof. Everyone thinks they know the problem. He can’t walk.

    But Jesus shocks the room: “I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” (Luke 5:24)

    Join Pat Morley and discover why this is the most important declaration Jesus has made so far—and why history pivots on it.

    By forgiving before He healed, Jesus revealed that the deepest human problem is not physical and the most pressing issue in any room is invisible.

    You know what you want. But isn’t it good news that Jesus knows what you actually need?

  • Lesson 13 | How Jesus Made Decisions

    Jesus was constantly in motion—preaching, teaching, healing, casting out demons. Everywhere He went, there was another need, another demand, another person who wanted Him to stay. Yet He didn’t make decisions based on pressure; He made them based on priority. And He never frittered away His time on lesser things.

    Join Pat Morley as he reveals what guided Jesus’ decisions, shares the personal dashboard he has used for years, and shows you how to build one of your own.

  • Lesson 12 | Jesus Has Authority Over Evil

    Jesus walks into a place of worship, teaches with unmistakable authority—and then confronts a man possessed by an impure spirit.

    What happened next stunned everyone present. With a single command, the spirit obeyed.

    This was more than a dramatic moment. It revealed who Jesus is—and what happens when His authority collides with evil.

    Join Pat Morley as we explore what it means that Jesus has absolute authority over evil—and what that means for the hidden battles men quietly carry today.

    It’s going to be a great day!

  • Lesson 11 | A Biblically Rhythmic Life

    Let’s face it. The better you do your work, the more people want from you. Demand increases. Pressure follows. And if you’re not careful, you can end up living on adrenaline instead of abiding.

    In this message, we’ll look at one short—but revealing—verse from the life of Jesus:

    “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” (Luke 5:16)

    Why did Jesus pray so much? What problem was He solving—and why does that matter for men today?

    Jesus withdrew—not to escape responsibility—but to renew strength and stay aligned with the Father. He managed the momentum that would have otherwise consumed Him.

    Join Pat Morley and think through the rhythms you need so you can follow the example of Jesus and lead a biblically rhythmic life.

  • Lesson 10 | The Kind of Men We Catch

    Right after calling the fishermen, the very next man Jesus “catches” is not an impressive leader, but a leper—a man whose hopes and dreams had been shattered, who came begging Jesus for help.

    Join Pat Morley as we feel the weight of what Jesus wanted His disciples to see—and understand.

    For us, this raises a searching question:

    Are we a place where broken men feel safe to come and ask for help?

    Something is amiss if broken men are not coming to us.

    Something is amiss if we are not seeking out broken men.

    And while sometimes a man still won’t come even when we do everything right, we don’t want it to be because of us.

  • Lesson 9 | The Jesus Boat Story

    A carpenter tells professional fishermen where to catch fish—an instruction that defied all logic, humanly speaking.

    Join Pat Morley tomorrow morning as we watch what happened next, and how one simple response—“At Your word”—opened their eyes to Jesus’ power and might.

    Do you feel it—that yearning to be part of something so big it’s doomed to fail if God’s not on it?

    Come feel the exhilaration of following Jesus with your whole heart.

  • Lesson 8 | How Jesus Went From Hero to Zero

    Jesus was a rising star.

    He returned to his hometown where He got invited to preach at His home “church.” Everyone was excited to hear what He had to say—until He said it.

    Join Pat Morley and observe the chaos that followed from the perspective of the disciples.

    The problem will be easy to understand, but what does it mean? And how does it apply to you? Join us and find out.

  • Lesson 7 | Learning to Take Jesus at His Word

    A man’s young son is about to die.

    In desperation, the father pleads with Jesus to heal him.

    When Jesus tells him his son will live, the man doesn’t wait for proof. He takes Jesus at His word and starts home in obedience.

    If you’ve ever struggled to obey before things make sense, and who hasn't, this one's for you.

    Join Pat Morley and let Jesus train you like He trained them.

  • Lesson 6 | The First Great Awakening

    A whole village of people was on their way to see Jesus.

    In fact, throngs of new people are searching for him every day.

    But the disciples were not yet trained to understand the bigger picture of what was going on. Jesus lovingly took them aside to open their eyes so they could see the bigger picture and guide the people.

    That’s training. Join Pat Morley and let Jesus train you like He trained them—to see the bigger picture and be part of it.

  • Lesson 5 | Jesus and Messy People

    In the previous lesson, we were not surprised to learn that Jesus would meet with a top religious leader.

    This week’s lesson takes us 180 degrees in the other direction. You see, Jesus' next move was to seek out the kind of person that most people seek to avoid. The message is clear: Everyone matters to Jesus. And as we will also see, everyone can make a difference.

    But the Twelve were surprised—even befuddled. Join Pat Morley and let’s nail down what Jesus was trying to teach His disciples, then and now, about His mission, His audience, His message, and His method. Join us—and train like the Twelve.
