Let's discover how Jesus brings hope to those who feel they've hit rock bottom spiritually. The sermon highlights that no one is beyond the reach of Jesus' grace, and He seeks out those who are broken and lost, offering them a second chance. Through powerful examples from The Chosen TV series, we see how Jesus' love transforms lives, reminding us that grace is freely given to those who feel they have nothing left.

We all have a gift from God that is simply amazing! It’s called MEMORY! We can actually remember pretty much everything in HD. But we know that our memory can be our best friend AND our worst enemy! We remember the bad things done to us, we remember the mistakes we’ve made, the dumb things we did that radically altered what life could have been—and perhaps even evil things if we’re just being honest. Sometimes we fail where we most want to succeed—and the crescendo of shame keeps rolling in. Is there a way to erase this part of our memory? Let’s look at what the Bible has to say about this.

Worship is way more than a just a Sunday thing. It's the response to the majesty of God and an invitation to experience His rule in your life everyday. In our world, submitting our lives to someone else's rulership sounds like death sentence—but not when it's to a loving God who only wants to see you blessed abundantly.

Our hearts are designed to worship. But too often, we put success, relationships, or even comfort in God's rightful place. But don't fall for the scam! These idols will suck all the peace and joy of Jesus right out of your life! If you will re-center your life around God, you'll find freedom and fulfillment like you never thought possible.⁠

New 3-part series, “King of Hearts — Hope for the Broken”
Each and every single one of us are broken in some way, and we all try to fix or hide our brokenness with some kind of band-aid solution. But Jesus continually offers us something far greater: true healing — and hope.

Mature people know how to clean up their messes. Yet, relationally, some never do. Once we break trust with those around us, it’s so hard to gain that back. But what is the main thing that keeps us from being able to gain back trust from others—what is it that makes it impossibly hard to even get started? 

There are always some sticky questions around forgiveness. Most of us can agree on the generic, every day kinds of forgiveness are necessary. But what about when an offence is so horrible, it’s impossible to forget, lest forgive! What about justice? Is forgiveness about just rolling over? This is hard, but with God, He promises it’s possible.

An important thought to consider: God offers us forgiveness by paying for our guilt with His Son’s sacrifice.  Then it’s up to us—do we extend this forgiveness to others? In some way, according to God’s word, if we have chosen to accept His forgiveness, then we have also chosen to be forgivers ourselves. Let’s take a look to see how this plays out.

We want it for ourselves, but we have a hard time giving it to others.⁠
When we have messed up and hurt someone, we want their forgiveness... we want things to be right again. But, turn the tables and we're the ones who have been injured, it's not so easy to GIVE that forgiveness. But if we want a heart that is healed of its pain, we've got to figure this out.⁠

Jesus, who worked as a carpenter or construction worker knew all about splinters. And He knew - splinters hurt like crazy! When someone wounds us, leaves angry words in us, betrays us, criticizes us unfairly, it’s like a splinter. It’s lodged in us and reminds us constantly, "Hey! I’m here!” And there's only one way to stop and heal the pain of a splinter...
