A lot of people approach Jesus with a performance mentality. You feel you've got to be good enough for him. But the result is always disappointment. What if Jesus doesn't want our performance? What if he wants our surrender? What if that's the key to experiencing his best for us?

You want to make time for Jesus. But life is busy. You've got a lot going on, and it's easy to get distracted. In this SermonCast, Dr. Matt O'Reilly casts a vision for the all-surpassing value of knowing Christ and considers strategies for prioritizing Jesus ahead of all the distractions.

Change is hard. Some change feels impossible. In this edition of SermonCast, Dr. Matt O'Reilly leads us through two portraits of biblical figures who consistently embody the transformed life. These guys are Christ-like in real life. We'll also discover how the local church is absolutely essential to experiencing that sort of transformation.

Is your faith a some-of-the-time activity or an all-of-the-time orientation? In this week's SermonCast, Pastor Matt explores the many barriers that keep us from being all in when it comes to following Jesus and challenges us to become fully surrendered. If we do, we'll discover that God will work through us in ways that allow those around us to experience the glory of the beauty of his holy love.
