Week 5 • Jesus Gets It

March 17, 2024 • Scott Scruggs

Resentment imprisons us, while forgiveness unlocks the door to freedom. In this sermon, we examine the transformative power of forgiveness through the lens of both personal experiences and biblical accounts of Jesus's journey on the cross. As we delve into the intersection of our struggles and Jesus's teachings, we'll find solace in his example.

Join Pastor Scotty as we reflect on how embracing Jesus's path can free us from the chains of bitterness, strengthen our relationships, and lead us to a more fulfilling life. Through this exploration, we can experience the true potential of forgiveness and move beyond the pain of past hurts and trauma.

When You've Messed Up Your Life

March 24, 2024 • Jonathan Wolfgang

Building on last week's message about Jesus' teachings on forgiveness, we've seen the challenge of forgiving others, even when it seems beyond our ability. However, there's someone else we often find even harder to forgive—ourselves. Join Pastor Wolfgang as he explores the transformative exchange between Jesus and the thief crucified beside Him. Discover how Jesus' response urges us to move our focus from our past mistakes to His sacrifice and love. How much would you give for a clean conscience? Jesus has already given everything for you. No sin is too great to be out of reach of God's grace. Learn how accepting this truth can bring the healing power of forgiveness into your life and enable you to live in the freedom that Jesus has bought for you.

When Basic Needs Aren't Met

March 10, 2024 • Bryce Goff

When have you felt the most desperate for your needs to be met? In this week's "Jesus Gets It" sermon, Pastor Bryce Goff reflects on the moment when Jesus, hanging on the cross, cried out in thirst and received a drink before giving up His spirit to God. Through His own experience of physical pain and thirst, Jesus demonstrated His deep understanding of our physical and spiritual needs, and His desire to fulfill them. In this powerful message, we'll learn how Jesus' act of sacrifice not only satisfies our own needs but also calls us to share His "living water" with others. Jesus' compassion and care extend beyond our individual lives, encompassing the needs of our neighbors both near and far. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your faith and draw inspiration from Jesus' profound act of surrender on the cross.

When Your Burdens Are Too Much

March 3, 2024 • Scott Scruggs

What do you do when life takes an unexpected turn? When challenges pile up and you're confronted with a sudden, difficult reality? In this week's "Jesus Gets It" sermon, Pastor Scotty examines the moment when Jesus, on the brink of His final breath on the cross, surrendered His spirit to God. He didn't fight His circumstances or question God's plan. Instead, He showed us what it means to have faith in the face of uncertainty. Through this message, we'll discover how to apply that same faith in our own lives when the unexpected happens. We'll learn about the power of surrendering to God and explore the incredible things He can do when we trust Him completely. Don't miss this chance to grow in your faith and learn from Jesus' ultimate act of surrender.
