We spend our lives chasing what feels secure—building bigger barns, stacking up more, trying to create a life that finally feels enough. But what if everything we’re building is pointed in the wrong direction? In this message, special guest Randy Alcorn reframes our understanding of wealth, not as something to own, but something to steward. Jesus doesn’t just challenge where we put our money—He exposes what has our heart. Because wherever our treasure goes, our heart is already following.

All across the world, millions are gathering to celebrate one reality: Jesus didn’t stay in the grave—He got up. And when He walked out of that tomb, He didn’t just change history… He changed your story. Because the gospel doesn’t start with your failure—it starts with a God who made you in love and came after you when you were far from Him.

What if the darkest parts of your story aren’t random—but already accounted for?

Crowds can make it easy to assume the work is already being done. Someone else will invite. Someone else will reach out. Someone else will carry the burden. But in Mark 2, four friends refuse to leave their hurting friend outside the house where Jesus is teaching. When they cannot get through the door, they go through the roof. Their faith does not stop at good intentions—it moves, lifts, tears, and makes a way.

What if the reason you feel stuck financially isn’t because you don’t make enough—but because no one ever taught you how to think about money? There's a tension most people live with: income goes up, but so does stress.  We’ve been sold the lie that a higher standard of living leads to a better life, yet many are discovering the opposite—more income, more pressure, more anxiety.  If money is a magnifier, then it’s not fixing anything—it’s revealing everything. And until that changes, nothing changes.

There is a quiet battle happening in every heart. Jesus described it clearly: no one can serve two masters. Something will always sit on the throne of our lives—our security, our savings, our comfort, or our King. The question every disciple must answer is simple but searching: who truly reigns in our hearts?

Many of us live with a quiet fear: What if I don’t have enough? Enough money. Enough strength. Enough time. Enough faith. In 2 Kings 4, a desperate widow feels that same fear when creditors come to take her sons as payment for a debt she cannot pay. But what she sees as “nothing but a small jar of oil” becomes the starting point of God’s miraculous provision.

Twelve years in, it would be easy to start believing our own press. We’re growing. We’re hungry. We’re bringing friends. There’s momentum, influence, reach. But Paul confronts that instinct in 1 Corinthians: “Not many of you were wise… influential… of noble birth.” God chose the foolish. God chose the weak. God chose the lowly—so that no one may boast before Him.The reason anything is happening in this church is not because we are great—it’s because God is good. Not because we hustle—it’s because He moves first.

We all know what’s wrong with the world. Or at least we think we do. It’s the system. The culture. The other side. But Scripture turns the mirror toward us. The fracture in our relationships doesn’t begin “out there” — it begins in the old self, the part of us that protects pride, feeds resentment, and quietly keeps score. Until Jesus deals with the corruption in our own hearts, healing stays out of reach. The cross doesn’t just diagnose evil; it defeats it. And forgiveness is how resurrection power starts repairing what sin has broken.

We live in a world that celebrates visibility, scale, and success—yet Jesus tells a story in Matthew 25 that reframes what actually matters. The Master doesn’t commend influence or outcomes; He says, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Each servant receives a different entrustment, but the call is the same: steward what you’ve been given. Faithfulness means resisting comparison, surrendering entitlement at the cross, and trusting that what God places in your hands today is neither random nor small.
