Plot Twist
Easter 23
April 9, 2023 • Brian C. Hughes • Matthew 1:20–21, Philippians 2:5–11
Names matter. Your name is tied to your identity. There is one name that is above every name. One name that might be shared by some, but whose most famous identity is set apart from all humanity and, ultimately, above us all. The name of Jesus. He willingly stepped away from heaven’s Glory in order to come to us. To be with us. To be one of us. In this final message of our “Plot Twist” series Pastor Brian Hughes discusses the name of Jesus and how He submitted himself to death so that you could have life. He rose from the grave.
Radical Revision
April 2, 2023 • Brian C. Hughes • Luke 22:14–20
Have you ever done something that altered what others considered sacred? Jesus made a ruthless revision to a sacred symbol that changed everything, through a sacrifice that we could never make ourselves. In our series “Plot Twist,” Pastor Brian Hughes talks about a not-so-subtle revision to a sacred symbol of faith, where the old covenant had required a sacrifice FROM YOU, the new covenant is a sacrifice FOR YOU.
Overcoming Every Temptation
March 26, 2023 • Brian C. Hughes • Matthew 4:5–11, Matthew 3:16–17, Matthew 4:1, Deuteronomy 8:1–3
You have an identity - whether you know it or not. And you don’t determine it and people around you don’t determine it. God does. In our new series, “Plot Twist,” Senior Pastor Brian Hughes discusses a lesser known, but critically important moment in Jesus’ story: Temptation. Jesus’ temptation hit the core of his identity, and his victory over temptation can be the roadmap for ours. In this week of our “Plot Twist” series, Pastor Brian Hughes shows us that if you ground yourself on who you are in Jesus, then you too, like Jesus, can overcome every temptation that comes your way.
