Jeff closes our series on surrender by reading one of the final moments Jesus walked the earth. The night He was betrayed, arrested, and lead away to His death demonstrated how even Jesus Christ had to surrender His power. What would it look like to live by this same example? How can we surrender our power and yield to the guidance and direction of God? Listen in as we close this series through a powerful message about how power and surrender meet in the life of Jesus.

This week, Kori wraps up our “Storms” series by walking through Psalm 69 and exploring what it looks like to navigate the inner storms of life—depression, grief, suffering, and pain. Through David’s honest prayers and the suffering of Jesus, we’re reminded that God welcomes our honesty, hears our cries, and stays close to us even in the deepest waters. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re barely staying afloat, this message is for you.

Storms, both literal and figurative, are part of our everyday life. In scripture we see much of the same: literal storms can redirect our plans and metaphorical ‘storms of life’ have a way of shaping our beliefs & trust in God. This week, Jeff looks at Paul’s famous shipwreck on the island of Malta. What can we learn about our faith through this literal storm and how can Paul’s response impact our relationship with God? Listen in as Jeff explores Acts 27 & 28 and how the storms of life can increase our experience of God’s presence & purpose in our lives.

During the crucifixion, most people deserted and abandoned Jesus — but a few remained at His side. In the dying moments of Jesus, He addressed a few individuals or ‘friends of the cross’ and by examining these interactions, we can learn a lot about our Savior and what it means to follow Him today.

What cross are you bearing today? The story of Simon of Cyrene reveals how a forced detour became the defining moment of his life—and transformed his family forever.

‘I decided to forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.’ These words from Paul serve as our inspiration for the next five weeks during this sermon series and we invite you to listen to the opening message retelling the story, power, and ‘foolishness’ of Christ Crucified. May we never forget it’s through Christ, and Christ alone, that we are saved.

Our spiritual journey includes ups and downs, highs and lows, mountaintops and valleys. It’d be nice if we could skip the struggle and suffering and live in perfect blessing, but life often has more complexities than we realize. We can see the bigger picture by placing our hope in Jesus Christ and learning to walk with God through hardships. The truth is: there are parts of our spiritual maturity that are only developed in the midst of pain. Listen in as we continue our series on ‘Spiritual Puberty.’

Jeff & Natalie cover some hard topics in this passage from 1 Peter. Listen in as we explain the scripture in its original context, discover how it applies to us today, and how it’s essential to always keep Jesus at the center. One key question: “If Jesus is my suffering servant, how am I called to live today?”
