During one of the longest post-resurrection encounters with Jesus, two followers were taught how all the writings of Moses and the prophets point directly to Christ. In this message, Jeff kicks off the summer series called “Burning Hearts” by emphasizing a Christocentric view of the Old Testament while unpacking the famous ‘Road to Emmaus’ passage in Luke 24.
We tell others through Proclamation and Power. It is a two part process. Jesus told others in these two ways: he proclaimed the message of the Kingdom in synagogues and open air preaching, and he also demonstrated the power of the Kingdom through healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead. We want to "do the two": proclaim the Good News with words, and demonstrate the Good News in power.
Drunk with Wine or Filled with the Holy Spirit? Why does the Bible use this phrase, what does it mean, and how can we as a church continue to offer freedom in Christ?

Social media and the addiction to smartphones has slowly eroded our heart’s cry for deep and authentic connection. This week, Jeff preaches on what true spiritual friendship looks like: the value of finding it, forging it over time, and experiencing the depth of friendship with Christ.
God commands us to remember the sabbath, but our busy 24-7 culture and lack of deep rest indicate that we might be distracted and forgetful.
Jeff opens our new series by looking at some of the key distractions that keep us from our calling. Thankfully, for every worldly distraction there’s a biblical antidote and in this message we unpack a spiritual discipline our culture desperately needs: silence & solitude.
For the final message in our “Crazy Things Jesus Said” series, we look at the wild invitation Jesus gave Peter to follow Him no matter the cost—even if it meant death. How did Peter develop a life of discipleship that stares death in the eye and responds with a wholehearted, ‘yes’? Listen in as Jeff & Natalie Faust bring a conclusion to our spring series.
