Sunday March 31, 2019 Chi Alpha Missionary Alex Rodriguez spoke at Movement Church in Las Cruces, NM.

When times in our lives are hard and it feels like we're constantly going uphill, how can we not lose the vision of God?

A second-hand faith is better than no faith, but it can only last so long. Pilate came face to face with Jesus and we all have to as well.

A lot of us feel thay if we lost a certain thing or a certain someone that our life would crumble and lose meaning. This thought is at the core of insecurity and conceit. How does Jesus confront losing much?

Humans naturally hate mystery. Our rebellion against it has driven mankind to discoveries without ever ultimately removing mystery altogether. So how do we walk into mystery - the unknown - without fear, anxiety, stress, etc.?

Many people let their feelings decide their attitude, trust, and obedience to God. However, Jesus never marvelled at men and women of this type. Jesus marvelled at a man who's faith was independent of his feelings.

Jesus meets a man who had money, had position, and had prestige, but he longed for more - a change in being.

Continuing our Great Physician series, we look at how our society encourages the idea of starting things without the intent to finish and what Jesus' response is when people havent thought about what it takes to finish following Him their whole lives.

National Training Director, Alex Rodriguez, continues our series with Jesus addressing the issue of duplicitousness (two-faced people).
