Good Friday is a celebration of Jesus' persecution and death upon the cross. It is a time of mourning and lament. Together and individually, we acknowledge our need for forgiveness and the hope we have in Him alone.

In this special message, recorded at our Good Friday worship service, we read of the various ways people responded to Jesus' final moments. Then, we are confronted with the reality that we too have chosen a similar response that is either, betrayal, denial, or rejection.

As a CAUTION, during this message, you will hear the sound of those in attendance hammering nails into the cross. We did this as a way of crucifying our own guilt along with Jesus. It was a heartfelt moment of penitence. Listening to this on a podcast may evoke some powerful emotions. It certainly did for those of us in attendance. I invite you to lean into it and consider how, you too, may respond to the message of Jesus Christ.

Worship provided by Amanda Lynch, along with Jim and Sandy Aich.

About This Series

I Am. Love is a series written to take us through the Book of John, and through the Easter season. These teachings explore the meaning of God's love and dive deep into John's unique gospel message.

John has much to say about love; yet, this love is hard for us to fully grasp. It is unconditional and all encompassing. At the same time, it is mysterious and miraculous. The more we study God's love, the more we find it is simply perfect; and, we are not.

Still, John teaches us that God's perfect love is for all people. It is for all the world, especially the imperfect.

Grab your Bible and be immersed into the story of Jesus by exploring His model of grace, truth, and love as recorded in the Book of John.

Maundy Thursday is a celebration of Jesus' Last Supper with His disciples. In this message, we look at Jesus' final prayer, recorded for us in John 17. He prays to be glorified, He prays for his disciples, and He prays for all believers. His prayer for us reminds us of our calling as Christians and helps highlight the importance of Easter. Importantly, it help us see the continued message of God's complete love for all in Jesus' teaching.

Palm Sunday is a celebration of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. It is a historic moment mentioned by all four of the gospel writers in the New Testament.

However, what does it mean for us and how do we apply what Jesus taught?

Join us as we learn about the love of Jesus Christ. He is the King who comes...

• To rule by serving.
• To lead by loving.
• To bring forth a Kingdom that will never end... a Kingdom for all who will believe!

The Bible urges us to be united and to be one with Christ. However, we live in a world filled with messages of division. We are increasingly challenged to think of one another, not as neighbors and friends, but as competition. We are divided by politics, media, and opinions.

Is unity even possible in today's hyper-divisive world?

In this message, recorded at Tunnel Hill Christian Church as we hosted the Floyd County Men's Lenten Breakfast, we dig into the Biblical challenge of being truly united.

Key scriptures in this episode include:

1. 1 Corinthians 1:10-17
2. Romans 6:5-7
3. Luke 6:13-16
4. Ephesians 4:1-6

Grab your Bible and join us as we find a path forward for not just living out Christ's message of unity; but, together we find hope for modeling unity to others.

Explicit content: kicka** is mentioned once. I marked this one as "explicit" in case anyone is listening with small children or is offended by my language.

Jesus teaches us that what we are most connected to will determine the fruit we produce. Then, He urges us to be connected to Him, the true vine.

Listen to this week's message and learn about the challenges of a world filled with anxiety. Together, we will seek to unplug from the many things that cause fear and worry in our lives, as we more truly are rooted in Christ!
