Jerusalem - In the Footsteps of the Messiah

From Caesarea Philippi to Capernaum, to the shores of Caesarea Maritima, our journey now leads us to the moment when Jesus enters Jerusalem as King—yet is rejected by the very people waiting for the Messiah.

In today’s teaching, we explore Jesus’ prophetic actions, His parables, His heartfelt lament over Jerusalem, and the powerful parallels between Ezekiel’s vision and the events leading up to the cross. Standing on the Mount of Olives, we’re reminded of both the sorrow of rejection and the hope of His promised return.

He entered once in victory, left in grief…and one day He will come again. The question we’re left with is simple but weighty: When He returns, how will He find us?

Caesarea - In the Footsteps of the Messiah

In this week’s message, we stop in the coastal city of Caesarea—a place known for Roman power, breathtaking architecture, and, surprisingly, one of the most important turning points in the early church. Here in Acts 10, God brings together Cornelius, a Roman centurion searching for truth, and Peter, an apostle wrestling with a new vision from God. What unfolds is the moment the church realizes the gospel is not limited to one people or one culture, but is truly for everyone. God breaks down barriers, confronts old assumptions, and pours out His Spirit on those no one expected.

This message reminds us that God is still reconciling hearts, still welcoming outsiders in, and still speaking to people who are seeking Him. If you sense Him drawing you today, this might be your own Caesarea moment—a chance to believe, to trust, and to take a step toward Him. If this encourages you, we’d love for you to like, comment, and subscribe. And if you need prayer or want to talk about baptism, we’re here to walk with you.

Capernaum - In the Footsteps of the Messiah

In this week’s message, we follow Jesus to Capernaum—the center of His ministry along the Sea of Galilee. Here, prophecy was fulfilled, disciples were called, demons fled, and lives were transformed.

Pastor Jason walks through Mark 1 to show how Jesus’ message (“The Kingdom of God is near”), His call (“Repent and believe”), and His invitation (“Follow Me”) still shape our lives today. Standing in the very synagogue where Jesus taught, we’re reminded that His authority, His compassion, and His power are not ancient stories—they are present reality.

Whether you’re exploring faith or longing to grow as a disciple, this message will challenge you to leave complacency behind and rediscover the awe of following the Messiah.

Caesarea Philippi - In the Footsteps of the Messiah

At the foot of Mount Hermon, in a place filled with idols and darkness, Jesus asked one of the most important questions in history: “Who do you say I am?”

In this message, we walk through the powerful moment when Jesus revealed His true identity — not in the safety of the temple, but in the heart of enemy territory. Discover how His words, “On this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it,” still declare victory today.

No matter what darkness surrounds you, remember: the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

📖 Matthew 16:13–20 | 1 John 4:4

Imagine: A Church That isn't Religious

It’s possible to be deeply religious and still completely miss Jesus. Saul of Tarsus knew the Scriptures, kept the rules, and thought he was defending God — until an encounter with Jesus changed everything.

In this message, Pastor Bob challenges us to move beyond rule-keeping and appearances to discover what real faith looks like — a faith that’s Spirit-led, grace-filled, and free from the constraints of empty religion.

We’ll explore why God despises “religion” without heart transformation, how judgment and favoritism creep into our faith, and what it truly means to be a church that reflects Jesus rather than just playing church.

👉 Key Passage: Romans 2

👉 Theme: Freedom from religion, transformation through relationship

👉 Big Idea: Real faith doesn’t check boxes — it changes hearts.

Imagine: A Church Without Agendas

What happens when a church stops chasing personal preferences and starts pursuing the only agenda that matters — Jesus? In this practical and challenging message, Maddie Hoeness shares a story from buying her first home and discovering how conflicting expectations can create tension. The same thing happens in church when comfort, control, and personal opinion overshadow Christ’s mission. Looking at Acts 2:42–47, we see that the early church wasn’t powerful because of polished programs or perfect systems, but because they were devoted — to Scripture, prayer, communion, generosity, and one another. Their unity made the gospel visible, their love made it credible, and God responded by multiplying their impact. When Jesus becomes the center, the church doesn’t just survive — it moves, grows, and influences the world around it. We’re called to lay down our agendas, pick up the cross, and pursue Him together.

Imagine: An Outward Focused Church

What if the Church wasn’t afraid?

Imagine a church that still believes in miracles. That still tells the truth. That still reaches out — even when it’s costly.

In this message, Pastor Jason unpacks what it really means to be an outward church — one that doesn’t just invite people in, but boldly goes out into the world with conviction and compassion.

We’ll walk through John 9 — the story of a man who went from blindness to boldness — and discover what it means to live as the “sent” people of God. Because being outward doesn’t mean being flashy — it means being faithful. It’s not about attraction — it’s about action. It’s not about being relevant — it’s about being resilient.

Let’s recover our burden for the lost, reclaim our courage, and become the kind of church the world desperately needs — one that shines light in the darkness.

Imagine: A Merciful Church

What does a merciful church really look like? This week, we’re kicking off a new series with a message that reminds us: God’s mercy isn’t based on what we deserve—it’s based on who He is.

From the garden of Eden to the cross, we see a God whose hesed—His loyal, steadfast love—never runs out. And as His people, we’re called to reflect that same mercy in how we live, love, and forgive.

Mercy heals. Enabling hurts. One restores, the other destroys. So how do we become a church that embodies mercy in real, tangible ways? Let’s find out together.

Join us for “Imagine: A Merciful Church.” 🙏

His mercies are new every morning—and we don’t have to just imagine that kind of church… we get to be it.

The Bride of Christ | E83

Heaven is not just a place. It is a wedding.

In this episode, “Revelation 21: The Wedding at the End of the World,” we explore one of the most beloved chapters in the Bible and discover that it is not only about streets of gold and every tear being wiped away – it is about a Bridegroom, a Bride, and a wedding that all of history has been moving toward.

We walk through the ancient Jewish wedding pattern – proposal, betrothal, procession, ceremony, and feast – and show how each stage mirrors the gospel story:

• Eden as the first wedding and Sinai as God’s proposal

• The Cross as the bridal price where Jesus gives His life for His Bride

• The Holy Spirit as the shoshbin and kallah teacher, preparing us while we wait

• The New Jerusalem descending as a radiant Bride, and God dwelling with His people forever

Along the way we look at:

• Why the Judge of Revelation 20 is revealed as the Bridegroom in Revelation 21

• What it means that God will make “all things new”

• How the “Bride of Christ” imagery shapes our hope, our holiness, and our mission

• How to live engaged, faithful, hopeful, and radiant while we wait for the Groom

If you have ever thought the gospel was just about “going to heaven someday,” this episode invites you to see that salvation is not just relocation but reunion – a covenant relationship restored.

Key passages: Revelation 19–22, John 14, Ephesians 5, Romans 7, Romans 11
