As Jesus hung upon the cross, He experienced the physical, emotional, and spiritual pain that we all feel as humans. While Scripture reveals Jesus’ divine nature, we also know of his humanity. When he said "I thirst" on the cross, it offers a glimpse. Listen to our latest message, I Thirst, as Pastor Rob Bentz explores how the reality of Jesus' humanness brings comfort and hope to all who believe.

When Jesus spoke the lonely words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”, He was quoting words from the Psalter. Amidst the agony of the cross, the words Jesus uttered are the first words of Psalm 22. When he speaks these words, Jesus revealed that He understands the suffering we experience in our hardest moments. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest message, My God, my God, why Have You Forsaken Me?

Even in His final moments, Jesus was building a new community. In John 19, while Jesus hangs on a hard wooden cross, He looks at those He loves most--and does something remarkable--He establishes a new type of family. Listen to our latest message, You Were Never Meant to Walk Alone, as Pastor Kevin Pobursky explores the depths of the new community in Christ.

In part 2 of our series, Last Words, we consider three different response to Jesus as He suffers upon the cross. Some speak mockery, others self-righteousness, and a third takes a heart posture of humility. Stunningly, Jesus speaks a powerful promise to this dying criminal: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz gives our latest message, "Today You Will Be with Me".

We begin our new sermon series, Last Words, by looking to Luke's gospel, Chapter 23, to hear the words that Jesus' prays to the Father from the cross, “Father, forgive them.” Instead of anger or revenge, Jesus responds to His enemies with mercy and grace. How can Jesus pray with such humility and trust? Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest sermon, "Father, Forgive Them", as he looks to Psalm 103 to see the true character of God.

We conclude our Missio Dei series with a look at portions of two chapters of Revelations. What we find in these two chapters provides us with a glimpse of the end of God’s story--and it’s better than we can imagine! Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest message, The End of the Mission, as we see the beautiful way that God completes his mission. 

In part 7 of Missio Dei, we look to a few New Testament texts to see how God empowers His people to advance His Kingdom in the world. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest sermon, Missional God, Missional Church, as he explains how the Church continues Jesus’ work by making disciples and sharing the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit.

In Part 6 of our series, Missio Dei, we turn to the New Testament gospel account of Luke. In chapter 4, Jesus begins His public ministry by announcing that God’s promised salvation has arrived. But it hasn't just arrived, it is available to everyone! Listen as Pastor Kevin Pobursky explores how Jesus fulfills God’s promise of salvation and expands our understanding of God’s grace in our latest sermon, Good News for All People.

Do you ever feel like the Mission of God is too big for you consider? It's too expansive and daunting for you to even think about participating in? Good! That's because it is. Today, we turn to Isaiah 42 to see how God chooses to accomplish His mission in our world--he does so with the promise of justice and hope through a Servant. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest message, A Servant for the Nations.

Part 4 of our Missio Dei sermon series takes us to Exodus 19. That's where we read about God calling a people to Himself and giving them a mission to bless the world. If that sounds familiar, it's because God gave a similar message to Abram in Genesis 12. This message was given to a man named Moses, and it God sought to establish a relationship with His people in a new covenant. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest sermon, For a Greater Pupose.
