Did Jesus really mean if we “eat” his flesh and “drink” his blood, that we would find salvation? How are we to handle some of the much more difficult teachings Jesus gave? And why does it seem so many people appear to misunderstand him? As we conclude John 6, we learn how Jesus often used symbolism and metaphors to translate deeper spiritual truths. You can take many things Jesus said literally, b...

How do we get to a place where we either accept or reject who Jesus is? Does God just “assign” salvation to some people and not others? How can we be so certain Jesus claimed to be God and that the only way to even experience salvation is to experience him? Pastor Andrew takes us even deeper into John 6 to answer these questions!

What are you seeking Jesus for? Is it for what he can do for you, is he a means to an end? Or, is he more?

In this teaching, we learn how Jesus revealed his divinity in a profound way to the Apostles and how Peter f...

Life is full of challenges and obstacles. When faced with difficulties, how do you react? Do you trust in God or in yourself? Can God really take what limited resources you may have and do more than you could ever dream of with them? If Jesus were here today, would he be a Democrat? Republican? Neither? Can we really place Jesus into our narratives or is he in a category of his own? In a teaching...
