In this Easter message from 1 Corinthians 15, we discover that Christianity is rooted in three powerful realities: natural, historical, and personal. The resurrection is a true historical event that overthrew the natural order of death. Jesus has the power to strip away the false identities we hide behind, and raise us into the real, eternal beings God created us to be.

00:00 - Introduction

Culture tells us to be the boss of your own life - but if we're honest, being your own boss usually ends in anxiety, burnout, or broken relationships. In this Palm Sunday message from Luke 4, we explore why we naturally push back against authority—whether it’s due to past hurts from misused authority, or our own stubborn independence. Discover why Jesus is the only one who has the right, the power, and the humble love required to actually be in charge of your life.
