Story Teller

May 28, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Luke 15:11–32

Most people know the story of the prodigal son. And for Jesus followers, most of us identify with the prodigal son. But that wasn’t the association Jesus was seeking in His story. Jesus had another goal in mind, and it’s important that we get it … for our own good.

Baptized

April 16, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 3:13–17

Are you a doubter, a cynic, a skeptic? Are you a seeker, a believer, a follower? Wherever you think yourself in the universe vis-à-vis Jesus, the vagrant rabbi who left the world unable to forget Him, we’re going to revisit the historical records and see Him for the first time again. We begin with the event when Jesus went public.

Rejected

April 23, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Luke 4:16–30

Why would anyone reject Jesus? Those who thought they knew him best wouldn’t have him. Why would you reject Jesus? Are you rejecting Jesus or just some version of him in your head that is far from true?

Calling

April 30, 2023 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Mark 1:16–20

Doesn’t it shock you that the disciples abandon everything to follow Jesus? They left their livelihoods and families to become homeless followers of a vagrant, Jewish rabbi.
