Radiant Reflections

In John 10, Jesus describes Himself as the good shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. Sheep are often seen as lacking understanding and self-awareness, and so are we. Just as sheep depend on their shepherd, we have to recognize our need for full dependence on God.

Pastor Brandon preaches from John 9, recounting Jesus healing a blind man in an incredible miracle. He also reveals Himself as the Son of Man. This sign shows Jesus' divine nature and the spiritual blindness of the religious elite. Are your eyes open to see Jesus?

They say you are what you eat, but what about what you crave? Appetite, the first temptation of Jesus, is a natural indication of our desires, but it's also a playground for self-gratification and the lust of the flesh.

Pastor Ryan brings us the second installment of our teaching series, Temptation: Battle Ready. He dives into Matthew 4 and talks about Jesus being tempted by Satan after 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness. Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers and those who stepped in to be a mother!
