Journey to the Cross

As the time for crucifixion drew near Jesus resolutely set himself towards Jerusalem, knowing all the while that He was walking towards his death. In this Lenten season we follow Jesus as He invites us to deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow Him.

A Surprising New Way to Live

Jesus’ path to victory went through death which was utterly surprising to two people that Jesus encountered the day he rose from the dead.  The resurrection also unlocks a surprising new way for us to live as we follow Him.

King Jesus

Jesus’ triumphal entry to Jerusalem to shouts of praise has an uneasy feeling to it because the same adoring crowd would be shouting for Jesus’ murder mere days later.

Be a Baby

Grace is a gift from God that cannot be earned, yet many of us spend our entire lives trying to prove ourselves to God and others. Jesus urges us to become like babies and recognize our need to receive His incredible grace.

Don't be a Hypocrite

How do you know if you’re growing in your discipleship to Jesus? Some say that following all the rules is the metric to use. Jesus suggests that love is the best metric, and challenges those who were doing all the right things but not showing love.

A Wee Little Man

The cross reminds us of our great need for God’s grace. The story of Zacchaeus reminds us that it’s not just “those” people who need grace, but it’s me, too.

On Purpose

Jesus suffered, died, and rose to reconcile us with God due to sin's estrangement. His journey emphasizes intentional sacrifice. Understanding this shapes our view of his sacrifice.
