As Echo Church celebrates its 5-year anniversary, we reflect on the journey of faith, community, and courage that has brought us here. In this sermon, we dive into the story of Maverick, a friend who took the hit so another could walk free, and draw powerful parallels to Jesus' ultimate act of sacrificial love. From His first miracle at Cana to the cross, Jesus shows us what it truly means to stand in the gap, to serve selflessly, and to bear the cost for others. This message challenges us not only to live boldly in faith but to honor the love, courage, and commitment that have shaped our church community over the past five years.
