There is one question that has echoed through history, and it’s still being asked today. “Who do you say I am?” This Easter at Victory, we’re stepping into one of the most personal and powerful moments in Scripture. 

Most people picture Jesus holding a lamb, wearing a peaceful smile. But in John 2, He walks into the Temple, makes a whip, and starts flipping tables. Same Jesus. Different moment. In this sermon, we unpack the side of Jesus we rarely talk about—righteous anger. He wasn't angry without reason.

Galatians 5:13 NIV
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Before you were ever born, God had a purpose for your life. Many people spend their entire lives searching for their calling—chasing love, success, happiness, and career fulfillment—but never find true direction. Whether you're searching for your purpose in life, struggling with how to follow God's will, or wondering how to hear God's calling, this message will give you the biblical clarity and practical steps that can alter the trajectory of your life forever!

Your voice is one of the most powerful tools God has given you—are you using it to point people to Jesus? Everything you say and do tells a story.

John 1:1-5 NIV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

“What’s amazing about the book of John is that it’s shallow enough for children to play but deep enough for elephants to swim.”
-Dr. Gary Burge

1 John 1:1 NIV
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.     

As followers of Christ, we are called to live out the Great Commission and make disciples. God has uniquely equipped each of us with passions and spiritual gifts to fulfill this calling—both individually and together as the Church. If you believe in the mission God is accomplishing through this house, tune in to discover how you can partner with us to fulfill the vision He has given our church this year.

What kind of life are you building? While the world chases success, God calls His people to something deeper and more enduring. As we celebrate 36 years of God’s faithfulness at Victory, tune into this message that invites us to pause, reflect, and lift our eyes to what truly matters. This encouraging sermon by our founding pastor, Dennis Rouse, challenges us to surrender fully, live with eternal purpose, and embrace the kind of life that leaves a lasting impact.
