Surely You Are The Crucified King | Lenten Live 2024 (Week 6)

March 20, 2024 • Jonathan Thiede • Isaiah 53, Mark 8:27–36

Join us as we prepare our hearts for the Easter season at Lenten Live! The theme of these teachings is called "Surely You Are" where we will focus each week on a different aspect of who Jesus is and what that means for us who follow him. This week's message from Jonathan Thiede concludes the series and is a climax in some ways. After seeing that Jesus is mighty to save (Week 3), a King who is coming (Week 4), a teacher who is wise (Week 5), we now land at the good news of the gospel. That this mighty, kind, and wise God came to us to die in our place. Jesus is the one prophesied of by Isaiah as the Suffering Servant. What radical good news that one so great would come to suffer in our place! This passage leads us into Good Friday with Mark 8:27-36 where Jesus shares with his disciples his identity, his mission, and his call to his followers. As followers of Jesus, we join him in his suffering, and we share in his glory.

Surely You Are The Wise Teacher | Lenten Live 2024 (Week 5)

March 13, 2024 • Jake Williams • 1 Corinthians 1, Proverbs 2

Join us as we prepare our hearts for the Easter season at Lenten Live! The theme of these teachings is called "Surely You Are" where we will focus each week on a different aspect of who Jesus is and what that means for us who follow him. This week's message from Jake Williams focuses on Jesus as a wise teacher, the only one who can rightly show us how we must live in light of his kingship. This illumines an important dimension of who God is, that He is not only powerful but He is also wise. Proverbs 2 extols the value of wisdom, and 1 Corinthians 1 tells of how the wisdom of God is greater than the wisdom of the world. At the cross we see how God saves us through "foolish" means.

Surely You Are The Coming King | Lenten Live (Week 4)

March 6, 2024 • Emily DeAngelo • 2 Samuel 7, Revelation 5

Join us as we prepare our hearts for the Easter season at Lenten Live! The theme of these teachings is called "Surely You Are" where we will focus each week on a different aspect of who Jesus is and what that means for us who follow him. This week's message from Emily DeAngelo focuses on Jesus as the rightful King of the world. In 2 Samuel 7 God makes a promise to David, that he would always have a descendent on the throne. This is an important moment in salvation history, as it shows us that the promised Messiah will come from the line of David. Jesus as King comes to a climax in Revelation 5 where he is crowned with glory and honor. At the cross, Jesus the King was not just crucified, but he was also crowned.
