Who are you, really? It can be tempting to define ourselves in all sorts of ways. Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s poem, Who Am I? hints at this temptation. Are you what others say about you? Are you what you say about yourself? What if our true identity is revealed as we look at Jesus and his true identity? Tune in to learn more about how Jesus reveals who we truly are.

When we think of God, it can be easy to imagine all the images we find in popular culture. From movies, to novels, and songs, culture presents us with many images of who God is and what he is like. But what if all those images have betrayed us? What if God has given us something better than the images we find in popular culture. Tune in as we learn how Jesus is the perfect image and revelation of God.

The opening pages of the Harry Potter series tells us about a boy who lived. Much like those books, the books of Exodus and Matthew, tell us about another boy who lived. Because this boy, Jesus Christ, lived, we too can find life––even as the powers of darkness threaten to take life. Find out more by tuning in to this Sunday message by Pastor Emmanuel.

What do we do with doubt? Tune in to learn more.

What does the return of Christ mean for us today? Many people are eager to find out how it will happen and what it will be like when Christ returns. However, few actually think about what it means that Christ is returning. Tune in to this message by Pastor Emmanuel as we explore the meaning of Christ’s return.

Throughout history, there have been many who have sought “signs” of Christ’s return. People often examine the tragedies and circumstances of life and attempt to predict when Christ will return based upon major world events. Jesus, however, tells us something radically different in Matthew 24:36-44. Rather than predict, Jesus says, we are to prepare. Tune in to this sermon from Pastor Emmanuel to learn more.

What do we do when the dancing turns to mourning? The holidays can be a time when gladness turns to grief. Traditions and rituals are disrupted when we remember what we have lost. Lamentations 5 reflects on a similar situation as God’s people lament over all that they have lost, land, family, temple, nation, and rituals. Tune in to learn more about how to navigate times like these through the practice of lament.

There are times when lament is not only necessary for healing, but also for hope. It can be easy to bypass the process of lament. However, Lamentations 4 teaches us that lament can serve as an autopsy that reveals where our false hopes led us and how they harmed us. In the process, God uses lament to lead us to Him, our true hope. Tune in to this sermon by Pastor Emmanuel to learn more.
