In this powerful second message of the Following Jesus series, Pastor B unpacks the cost of discipleship in Luke 14:25–33. Unlike a deceptive sales pitch, Jesus makes the terms clear—following Him means total surrender.

Supreme Loyalty – Jesus must come before every relationship, even family and self.

Pastor B reminds us: Jesus isn’t looking for part-time followers but all-in disciples. And what He asks us to surrender, He fills with something far better.

In this message, Pastor B explores what true discipleship looked like in biblical times from Matt 4:18-22—and what it means today. Unlike modern discipleship programs tied to classes or curriculum, Jesus’ call to discipleship was a call to follow a Person, not just learn information.

In first-century culture, becoming a disciple meant leaving everything to live like your rabbi. But Jesus flipped the script—He sought out ordinary people, not the elite, and invited them to follow Him, be formed by Him, and live on mission with Him.

The disciples dropped their nets—leaving behind identity, security, and control—to center their lives around Jesus. As they walked with Him, they were slowly transformed in heart, character, and purpose, becoming more like Him.

True discipleship is a lifelong process of surrender, formation, and mission. It’s not just about knowing theology—it’s about letting Jesus shape your whole life and joining Him in His work.

Sticky Statement: If you’re following Jesus, you’re fishing for people.

I Am the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:17–27)

Through the story of Lazarus, Pastor B reminds us that Jesus meets us in our grief, receives our honest questions, and offers hope that death is not the end. He is both the promise of future resurrection and the source of eternal life right now.

If you’re wrestling with loss or fear, this sermon calls you to anchor your hope in the One who conquered the grave—and who still raises the dead.

Jesus doesn’t just give resurrection—He is the resurrection.

In this powerful continuation of our ICONIC series, Pastor B takes us to the foot of the cross in Matthew 27:27-50, where the greatest act of love was misunderstood and mocked.

Jesus was ridiculed, beaten, and crucified—but what the crowds saw as weakness was actually divine strength. As Roman soldiers scorned Him and religious leaders laughed, they missed the truth staring them in the face: this was no ordinary man dying. This was the King—choosing not to save Himself so He could save us.

In this message, you’ll uncover the deeper meaning of the cross and explore the four gospel truths the crowd missed but we must not: Propitiation, Redemption, Justification, and Reconciliation.

Don’t just look at the cross—see it for what it truly is: the moment everything changed.

In this powerful message, Pastor B walks us into the Garden of Gethsemane found in Matthew 26:36-46, where Jesus wrestled with sorrow, the weight of cup, and the will of the Father. Facing the cross, Jesus was crushed under emotional, spiritual, and physical agony—not for His sins, but for ours.

The “cup” Jesus prayed about symbolized God’s wrath against sin. Yet, in love, He chose to drink it so we could receive mercy. Through intense, surrendered prayer, Jesus modeled dependence on the Father and showed us how to endure hardship through Spirit-empowered prayer.

Though the disciples' spirit was willing, their flesh was weak—just like us. Jesus’ example reminds us that strength to obey comes through intimacy with God in prayer. In the garden, Jesus said yes to suffering so we could say yes to grace.

In this message, Pastor B unpacks Jesus’ clear mission in Luke 19:10: “to seek and to save the lost.” Through the story of Zacchaeus, we see how Jesus meets people in their mess, calls them by name, and brings transformation through grace.

Zacchaeus, though wealthy, was empty and seeking. His encounter with Jesus led to repentance, restoration, and salvation. Pastor B reminds us: Jesus is still seeking and saving today—and if we follow Him, His mission is our mission.

We are called to live with gospel purpose, pursue the lost in love, and make space for divine encounters. The mission matters—because souls matter to Christ.

In this episode of our Iconic series, Pastor B unpacks the profound truth of Christ's authority through Luke 7:1-10. We confront the tension many of us feel when it comes to authority—especially when past experiences have made us wary. But what if there’s a different kind of authority—one that doesn’t oppress, but liberates; one that doesn’t harm, but heals?

Join us as we explore the remarkable faith of a Roman centurion who understood that true authority comes from submission, and how he recognized Jesus as the ultimate authority over sickness, death, and the spiritual realm. Pastor B challenges us to examine whether we truly allow Christ’s word to have the final say in our lives and encourages us to submit to His good and life-giving authority.

Don’t miss this powerful message as we continue to discover who Jesus is and what He has done. Tune in now to be inspired and transformed by the authority of Christ!

In Habit of Gratitude, Pastor B unpacks Luke 17:11-19, revealing how gratitude is more than a response—it’s a transformative discipline. Of the ten lepers healed by Jesus, only one returned to give thanks, highlighting that while many receive God’s grace, few acknowledge the Giver. Gratitude trains our hearts to see God’s hand in every moment, guarding us from entitlement and apathy. As we cultivate Holy Habits—fasting, worship, and reading the Word—let’s make gratitude a daily practice, turning our focus from what’s missing to who Jesus is and what He is doing in us and around us.
