Calvary: the Hill Sermons

Jesus, the Judge, exposes and condemns hypocritical leadership—but his goal is redemption. In him, justice and mercy are not opposites but two sides of the same good news.

Mourn your sin. Dance in grace. Join the community. Be sent in love. This is how you cultivate a lasting, passionate heart for God’s mission.

Jesus is way more committed to our growth and faith than we are. Here, we see Jesus’ commitment to us is all about His character, and not our performance.

A mountaintop moment, a glowing Savior, a thundering voice from heaven. In the Transfiguration, God says it loud and clear: Look. Listen. Follow. It’s all about Jesus.
