Peter was confident that he would faithfully follow Jesus, even to the point of death, yet only hours later, fear and self-preservation led him to deny Jesus three times. Like Peter, our pride and selfishness often reveal that we are not as faithful as we imagine ourselves to be. Yet while Peter fails, Jesus continues to display perfect love and selflessness. Peter’s story reminds us that our fail...

We see injustice everywhere, and our news feeds remind us of it every day. It’s natural to long for justice in a broken world. As we read the last chapters of John, we see Jesus face the greatest injustices—his betrayal, arrest, trials, and finally his death on the cross. But the greatest injustice of all was actually God’s plan to make things right for those who don’t deserve it. Come, let’s disc...

Hours before He was delivered up to suffer and die on the Cross, Jesus prayed not only for His disciples, but also for you and me. Stop and think about that for a minute! But WHAT was He praying for you and me? Let’s open God’s word and find out!

Guest Preacher: Robbie Cortez | 2 Samuel 9 by Christ Community Church of Magnolia

Have you ever listened in on a conversation that was both interesting and uplifting? Today’s passage gives us one of those rare moments in the gospels where we get to see what Jesus says to His Father. We get to hear His prayer for His disciples, and it is truly amazing. Let’s open the Bible together and find out what Jesus prays for those who follow Him.

People look for many ways to deal with deep sorrow, loss, or hard times. As Christians, we know that Jesus has promised us a steady hope when life gets tough. But how can we trust these promises? This morning, let’s see where our hope comes from by listening to some of Jesus’ last words to His disciples before He went to the cross.

We all know what it feels like to be alone. It can be unsettling, no matter the situation. In John 16, Jesus is just hours from the cross. Some of His final words to the disciples are a promise that they will never be alone. Let’s take a closer look at Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit and what it means for us as His followers today!

Sometimes what we believe and how we act don’t line up. Even though we know we are made in God’s image, it can be hard to live that out, especially in how we treat others. As we finish the Imago Dei series today, let’s explore some practical ways God’s Word helps us put our faith into action.

What defines you? Our world tells us to build our identity around success, relationships, achievements, or personal expression. But what happens when those things change? Join us as we discover how God created us in His image, how sin distorted our identity, and how Jesus restores us to become who we were created to be.

God created mankind to bear His image and display His glory. Yet every one of us must face death. Why do we die? What changed through Christ's resurrection? How should Christians think about aging, suffering, suicide, euthanasia, and preparing for death? Join us as we discover how the gospel transforms both the way we live and the way we die.

Why is there so much hatred and division in our world? Why does this most often look like racial division? How should Christians respond to prejudices in the world, our churches, and our own lives? Being made in the image of God and "remade" in the image of Christ radically changes how we see and treat someone who looks different than you.

What makes the preservation & protection of human life so important? Why do we see such disregard for the dignity of human life all around us?

Come, let's look to God's word for answers to the pressing issues of our day and our hearts.

The “battle of the sexes” has been raging for millennia. We can see the tension and challenges in our own relationships. It is easy to notice the problems of sexism, feminism, and male chauvinism around us. So, how can we discover God’s good design in our relationships? How can we see others the way God sees them? Let’s open God’s Word and learn to apply His truth!

God creates man in His image & likeness. Our inherent dignity, identity, and purpose flow out of God’s good design. This is a wonderful truth to live by. But why do these truths seem so disconnected to what we see in our own lives and the world around us? Today, we look at how sin tarnishes God’s image and likeness in us, but His promise gives us hope!

What gives a person value, worth, and significance? Where do we find our identity and purpose as people? These are big questions that make us ask, What is man? As we begin our Imago Dei Series today, we’ll look for answers to these important questions in the first pages of the Bible. Let’s explore together and discover God’s good design for us.

Have you ever felt the sting of rejection or someone not accepting you? No matter how strong you are, that stings. Ever felt the sting of rejection or marginalization because of your faith in Christ? Today, Jesus reminds His disciples that they will be hated because of him. So, why do people hate Jesus and His followers? How should we respond? Jesus answers both those questions in today’s text!

How will fearful disciples fare with Jesus leaving? Jesus encouraged their troubled hearts by promising a future inheritance in heaven & the Help of the Holy Spirit. If that weren’t enough, today Jesus paints an amazing picture of his abiding presence and power as they bear witness to Him. Let’s be reminded of the true power source that sustains our lives in Christ!

When we think about the Christian life, what actually empowers us to live it out? In today's passage, Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure by promising the Holy Spirit—the Helper who will dwell within them, teach them, and strengthen them to walk in obedience. What does it mean to live by the power of the Spirit, and how does He shape the way we follow Jesus today?

When we face difficult goodbyes in life, how do we respond? Jesus told his disciples he was leaving, and you can sense the fear and confusion they felt. He answered by reminding them of his promises and urging them to trust him. What are these promises, and how can remembering them help us as Jesus’ followers today?

The most dangerous kind of enemy is the enemy within. The enemy you can’t see & don’t expect. Many a nation, community, & personal friendship has been undermined by betrayal. Today, we see the traitor within Jesus’ circle exposed. What effect does this have on Jesus? Disciples? The traitor himself? Much to learn from the dark pages in God’s Word this morning!
