In your walk with Christ, have you ever considered the importance of the Gospels? We’ve all read the beginning of the New Testament, but do we consider how it reflects the glory of Jesus? Today, Pastor Jeff explains that the book of Mark is more important than you could ever imagine. It's not just another book that gives an account of the life of Christ, instead, we need to view it as a window into who Jesus was. Don’t just know the life of Jesus, live out His calling each and every day for the sake of His kingdom.

When you hear the word “meek,” what does it mean to you? Often times there’s a misconception that it’s a negative word, likening it to things such as weakness. Today, Pastor Jeff shows us that as Christians, if we want to see change in our lives, we need to soften our hearts and strive for meekness. As Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.” The more that you strive to love others in the name of Jesus and leave your pride behind, the closer you’ll grow to God’s holiness.

Often times we get so caught up in “doing the right things” that we forget what it really means to be set free. In our quest for bettering ourselves, we hyper-focus on work and forget why we’re even doing it. Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that Jesus came to sacrifice himself in our place so that we could be set free. We no longer have to be stuck in our old ways or follow any rules to get where we want to go. Instead, follow Jesus, break free from the burdens that are holding you back, and accept His promise.

Following the law has a way of tricking us into feeling like we are closer to something or someone than we really are. When we get into routines and follow the rules, it makes us feel part of something. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff explains that Jesus dying on the cross allows you to draw closer to Him. Instead of following rules and abiding by strict codes to feel a connection to Christ, He allows you to develop your own relationship with Him. Stop blindly following the law and become intimate with Christ.

As Christians, when we read the Old Testament, many of the rules and rituals don’t seem to be all that important to our everyday lives. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff explains that we need to take the new covenant, brought before us by Jesus dying on the cross, as seriously as those in the Bible took the old one. No, we don’t need to sacrifice animals or be born into a specific clan to be a priest, but through His sacrifice, our sins are forgiven and He expects that we lay down our life for Him.

You’ll never get to the closeness that you desire without fixating your gaze on what’s above. Be a powerful agent of change for the gospel.

Surrendering your heart to Jesus will only serve to liberate you from the pain of this world.

We hear so many different teachers, speakers, and orators in so many different media in our current culture.

Today, Pastor Jeff wants to remind you that you need to ignore the fleeting teachings of this world and focus on God’s Word. You shouldn’t be going to a church because you like what they say. Fixate your gaze on messages that matter and leave the useless wisdom of this world behind.

Are you struggling with your identity? Are you stuck in a rut and don’t know what to do to turn things around? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that like Saul in the Bible, God wants to make you into a new creation. If you’re yearning for real change in your life, the only way is through Him. The wisdom of self-help books and podcasts is fleeting and will never inspire the differences in your life that you want to see. Put your trust in God and grow into the person that you were meant to be.

When there’s something that you really don’t want to do, how do you handle it? Do you push it off until it’s too late? Ignore it completely?

When you surrender to God and live on the path that He has laid out, you don’t have to face conflict alone. Let God take your burdens.

What does it mean to be a “good person?” Is it good deeds every once and a while that make us feel better about ourselves? or is it following a higher calling? Today, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that God has a purpose and a plan already set into motion for your life. Instead of doing so-called “good deeds” to make you feel like you’re balancing out the bad things in your life, let God take control. He has a plan for you and you’ve always been in his plans. Lose the burdens that are dragging you down and follow Him.
