What is THE MISSION? Many Christians have varying answers to that question, but today we hear what THE MISSION is...according to King Jesus.

The resurrection of Jesus is the hope of humanity. If true, who Jesus is and what Jesus said can be trusted. If not, it's the greatest hoax in history. Today we consider why the reality of the resurrection is the most reasonable explanation of the empty tomb.

Today we are reminded of the most important event in the history of the world - the resurrection of Jesus from the dead - the moment proving His past claims are true and His future promises are trustworthy.

Have you ever felt like you've gone too far to be forgiven? Thankfully, the message of the cross is that it's not too late for Guilt to meet Grace! Today we remember and appreciate EXCRUCIATING GRACE, how our crucified King bought us at a great price.

As unbelieving Jews pressure the Romans to "Crucify Him!", Jesus suffers for us. Today's study of this ancient story is a contemporary call to recognize the gravity of sin, the immense cost of forgiveness, and the boundless grace offered through Jesus Christ.

Today we see Jesus, the sinless Son of God, treated like a condemned criminal , worthy of death. And yet, it is Jesus condemned that allows us to be restored. The Good News? Your failure is not final if you (re)turn to Jesus!

Last week we saw Jesus strongly judge hypocrisy & disobedience. Today we see Jesus complete His harsh judgment of His enemies, in their last interaction before Jesus is arrested to be judged by them.

We live in a culture that often quotes ‘build-a-bear Jesus', the version they like - the version that only loves and never judges - the contemporary version greatly distorting the authentic Jesus found in the Scriptures.‌ “Jesus never judges”? Today we continue to study Matthew chapter 23 and see if this claim is legit.

Don't you hate it when leaders get to live by different standards than the average person? Jesus hated that too. Today we get to see what Jesus says on the subject as He warns us to BEWARE HYPOCRISY, not only in the lives of others, but in our own lives as well. 

If you could ask Jesus any question, what would it be? If it was intended to stump Jesus, there's no doubt He would answer it well. But what if Jesus asked YOU a question that YOU couldn't answer? Today we amazed by the question that clarifies the identity of Jesus.

The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith. Without it, Jesus & his disciples are liars and our eternal hope is dashed to the ground. But Jesus HAS RISEN! Today we are reminded that real Christians live for the Risen King.
