Easter is the day we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead - Jesus is alive! This week, Pastor Brian wraps up the series by sharing the good news of the Gospel and what Christ accomplished for us through His victory over death.

Romans 1:4 (NLT) “And he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Throughout this series, we have looked at several important names and characteristics that reveal who Jesus is. More than anything, we must recognize that He alone provides the only way to escape the penalty of sin. This week, Pastor Brian explains how the gift of life is possible through Jesus and encourages us in how we should then respond to the world around us.

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭21‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) “Then the Lord told him, “Make a replica of a poisonous snake and attach it to a pole. All who are bitten will live if they simply look at it!” So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!”

Our God is a God of love, not of condemnation. As Jesus leads us through the process of sanctification and we inevitably mess up or things become challenging, He meets us with grace, not condemnation. This week David Suey shares a message of why it is worth it to keep our lives focused on Jesus - getting to experience abundant life.

John 8:10-11 (NLT) Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

Jesus is called the Lamb of God, a title that references the Passover account found in Exodus. This week, Pastor Brian shares the account of Passover and shows how that historic Old Testament event points directly to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in the New Testament.

John 1:29 (NLT) The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

Building our lives on Jesus doesn’t mean we’ll avoid storms, but it does mean we’ll have a firm foundation when they come. As we continue our series on who Jesus is, Pastor Brian shares what it looks like to build our lives on the solid rock of Jesus and how putting His words into practice keeps us standing through every storm.

Matthew 7:24 (NLT) Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

Because of His time on earth, Jesus understands on a personal level every challenge you face. And because He is fully God, He not only understands you, but He has the power to transform your life. In week three of the series, Pastor Brian unpacks the meaning and power of the hypostatic union and what it means for our lives today.

John 1:1 (NLT) In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

A life of peace with Jesus isn’t defined by calm circumstances, but by complete well-being, restoration, and the steady presence of God. As we continue our series on who Jesus is, Jared Blair shares how Jesus is our Prince of Peace, present with us in every storm and offering a peace that holds firm even through all of life’s challenges.

Mark 4:39 (NLT) When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.

Choosing to follow Jesus is also choosing to place Him as Lord over every area of our lives. This week we begin a new series centered on who Jesus is, and in week one, Lauren Ayers shares a message that shows what life looks like when Jesus truly reigns as Lord.

Matthew 16:25 (NLT) If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

God is always speaking, but are we positioned to hear Him? As we close our series on hearing God, Pastor Brian explores the things that can affect our spiritual hearing and the changes we can make to better align our hearts with His voice.

Luke 10:41-42 (NTL) But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”

The more we get to know God, the more we come to recognize His voice. But how can we be sure the voice we’re hearing is actually God’s? This week, Pastor Brian shares five guiding questions that can help us discern whether we’re truly hearing from Him.

Matthew 16:17 (NLT) Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.”
