John the Baptist came to prepare the way for the Messiah. His entire life highlights a question we should all ask ourselves as believers, “Who do you fear, God or man?” John’s life is a testament of following God’s will despite what man may think. He leapt for joy in the womb at the presence of the Savior. He baptized Jesus. He was filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaimed Truth boldly, even when...

Join us as we dive into three well-known stories of Jesus' earthly ministry with a common thread running throughout each of them. At the Pool of Bethesda, Jesus asks a paralyzed man if he wants to be healed. A question that still holds spiritual relevance for us today. “Do you want to be healed?” Because healing means you can’t continue to lie on a mat that has become all too comfortable and famil...

This week’s episode covers a powerful sequence of Scripture in which we see Jesus demonstrate His sovereignty over storms, demons, disease, and death.

Join us as we dive into Jesus' beautiful introduction to the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are not a checklist to achieve. They are a picture of Christ. These statements build on one another to form a complete picture of what a life surrendered to Christ should reflect.

In this episode, we walk through three moments in Jesus' early ministry that reveal His authority, His Compassion, and His boldness in speaking Truth no matter the consequence.

Yet even in the rest...

Join us as we walk through the powerful and personal moments when Jesus called His disciples. Jesus spends time in prayer, chooses the ordinary, meets His future disciples where they are in their everyday lives, and calls them to an extraordinary purpose.

In this fourth episode of our Life of Jesus series, we dive into one of the most pivotal moments in Jesus' early ministry - His temptation in the wilderness.

In this episode, we walk through the events surrounding His birth, including Mary and Joseph's obedience, the angelic announcement to the shepherds, the journey of the magi, and...

Before the miracles... before the ministry... before the manger... there was already a story being written. In this opening episode of our Life of Jesus series, we introduce the four Gospel writers - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - and explore why God chose four unique voices to tell one extraordinary story. Who were they? Who were they writing to? And what did each of them want us to understand a...
