Revelation 2 / April 22nd, 2018 / Mike Sellers

The church in Ephesus was once working in unity, with love, for one another and for God. By the time John writes down his revelation from God, things have changed. The Ephesians have begun to stray from the love they once had. This week, Mike shares 10 indicators you, too, might be straying from loving God and offers reminders about how we can grow that love once again.

Revelation 1 / April 15th, 2018 / Dr. Todd Gray

At the beginning of John’s revelation, he begins to show us a picture of the Exalted Christ. This image of Christ was powerful enough to leave John cowering before the Son of Man. Why don’t we ever approach Jesus like this? We don’t often have a proper image of the Exalted Christ because we don’t look at the picture in scripture.

Revelation 1 / April 8th, 2018 / Dr. Todd Gray

Revelation is a book that causes the imagination to run wild. Written with vivid imagery, its easy to get caught up in symbols presented. God did not write Revelation so we could ignore it all together, nor did he write it to be the primary source of our Biblical knowledge. So what is the point of Revelation?

John 20 / April 1st, 2018 / Todd Gray ** The first accounts of Jesus’ resurrection come from the least likely sources. Many of these sources had every reason to deny the resurrection. Other sources could have been easily discredited. Yet, 2000 years later, we still talk about Jesus’ resurrection. This is the conclusion of “The Passion” series.

John 19 / March 25th, 2018 / Todd Gray ** Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea were secret followers of Jesus until the moment of Jesus’ death. Their actions in securing proper burial for Jesus were bold and grand acts that told the world who they followed. When people think of you, what kind of faith would they say you have?

John 19 / March 18th, 2018 / Kody Alvarez ** What would you do for love? How far would you go for love? Would you look like a fool for love? For love Jesus, the King, was made to look like a fool. For love, Jesus was hung on a cross.

John 19 / March 11th, 2018 / Todd Gray

** As we complete the crucifixion story this week, it is so important that we use all the we know to humble ourselves and give ourselves over to Christ. If we consider the brutal methods in which he suffered, the cup of God’s wrath that was poured out on him for us, the prophecies fulfilled, and the knowledge that His sacrifice is what gives us salvation today…then we would never celebrate Easter the same again.

Despite finding no fault with Jesus over a series of 6 trials, Jesus is condemned to die on a cross. He was brutally beaten and mocked. May the Passion of Christ this week give you the gift of seeing sin as bad as you dwell on His brutalized body and Spirit.

May Pilate’s example help you to Focus your mind on eternal things that last instead of earthly things that distract and will fade.

We live in a world that struggles with absolute truth. What “feels” true for one person might not “feel” true for another. When Jesus appeared before Pilate, everybody had a different version of who Jesus was and what He did. This week, Pastor Todd talks about truth and where we can find absolute truth.

Sometimes we let our failures in life define who we are. Peter’s biggest failure was denying Jesus following His arrest. But instead of becoming that failure, Peter lived in the light of the Resurrection and clung to Christ.
