It's easy to become frustrated by desperate circumstances. We wonder what God's doing and question His ways. This message looks at how embracing the cross can reshape our faith, our understanding of God's plan, and the way we treat others.

Familiarity can blind us to the majesty of Jesus. When that happens, the impact of His words is dulled. This message looks at Jesus’ Transfiguration and what it teaches us about His identity and mission.

We often stubbornly hold onto the very things that are destroying us. This message looks at the life Jesus can give us and the things that stand in the way of it. 

Jesus can be respected and admired without fully being understood. This message looks at the inadequate assumptions we make about Jesus and the reality of who He is.

When needs overwhelm, it can feel like life is out of control, and God’s hands are off the wheel. This message looks at how to trust God when circumstances make it hard to do so.

We often demand proof from God while ignoring what He’s already given. This message looks at the evidence Jesus offers for the divine regime change He is bringing about and challenges us to evaluate our response.

So much of what we hope in eventually disappears or disappoints. Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus because it promises a secure anchor for our confidence. This message looks at the hope the resurrection makes possible.

Humans are wired to avoid the feeling of guilt, yet the sacrificial system was made to remind us of our need for God's forgiveness and transformation. Hebrews 9 reveals that Christ offered Himself as the greatest and final sacrifice for guilt and sin, and invites us to rest wholly in Him.
