In this Easter message, we talk about how Jesus is the answer; He is the answer to finding peace, healing, purpose, overcoming sin, and conquering death. Pastor John challenges believers to truly live what they believe and invites non-believers to a life with Jesus by acknowledging that Jesus died and rose again to provide new life.
Week 4 - Jesus the King
March 24, 2024 • John McKinzie
Jesus is a different kind of king, building a different kind of kingdom. The way of Jesus' kingdom is counter-cultural - embracing humility, servanthood, and sacrifice rather than grasping for power and position. As followers of Jesus, we are called to have the same attitude and represent his kingdom in how we live our lives.
Week 3 - Liar or Lord?
March 17, 2024 • Rick Gannon
In this message, we seek the answer to whether Jesus was Lord or a liar. Jesus taught with great authority and wisdom that amazed people. The sermon argues that we should not just trust Jesus for our eternal destiny but also accept his teachings and make him the Lord and guide over how we live our daily lives. It presents evidence for why Jesus can be trusted, including his miraculous deeds, and brilliant teachings that attracted multitudes.
Week 2 - Jesus the Historical Figure
March 10, 2024 • John McKinzie
In this message, we examine the historical evidence for the existence of Jesus, citing numerous secular and non-Christian sources from the 1st-3rd centuries AD. While Jesus' existence is well-attested, the main issue was with his claims. Was Jesus just another historical figure, or was he who he claimed to be - the son of God?
Week 1 - Jesus the Teacher
March 3, 2024 • Eric Sebastian
This message focuses on Jesus as a teacher, specifically addressing his teachings on greed. The main text we covered was from Luke 12, where Jesus warns against greed and calls his followers to prioritize God's kingdom over accumulating possessions. The message highlighted three symptoms of greed and encouraged us to seek God's kingdom first and practice generosity. We learned that true security and fulfillment come from obedience to God rather than chasing after wealth and possessions.
