But how does a dead King usher in all the sweeping promises of the Kingdom that is to come? That’s what’s agonizing Jesus’ followers during his arrest, trials, crucifixion, death, and burial. And honestly, that’s what can agonize you and me as we follow Jesus through this world experiencing the trials and opposition He predicted. Beholding the risen King rightly fills our hearts with joy, resolve, adventure, and steadfastness.

Beholding Jesus | Apostle Moses Mukisa

Beholding Jesus | Jesus Our Rest | Apostle Moses Mukisa

In John's Gospel we see the glory of Christ in events and references that point to and lead to the Cross ... the focus and greatest manifestation of glory in His ministry. Whilst the crosses we put on and in our church buildings are symbols of cruel punishment and suffering, they paradoxically remind us of the time that God's greatest glory to Mankind is revealed and effected. How can that be so? We may fathom in-part the glories of incarnation, transfiguration, resurrection, ascension and subsequent Christ's rule and high priestly role. In this session we hope to catch glimpses of the unfathomably great glory of the Godhead that glows brightly from the Cross.

Allie Smith speaks on Beholding Jesus as we study in Numbers 21

Sun 6PM

Today the Eyres are reflecting on the past, present, and future of their lives and trying to explain the "eternal, inclusive, familycentric lens" through which they try to view both their own lives and the Gospel. They discuss their forthcoming book Beholding the Restored Gospel through a Familycentric Lens that they are writing with their Bulgarian Daughter Eva and her husband Adam.

Doug Hankins, author of "Still Single, Still Called," shares about the process of becoming a church for everyone, because that's often times where singles find their place and feel welcomed. Steve DeWitt, host of The Journey and author of "Enjoying God in Everything," outlines how we can turn all of our experiences we're apart of into praise to God and why giving Him worship for the beauty around us is our ultimate purpose in the end.

My Pentecost sermon was “inspired" in part by two sentences in N.T. Wright's Surprised by Hope: “In the new creation, the ancient human mandate to look after the garden is dramatically reaffirmed, as John hints in his resurrection story, where Mary supposed Jesus is the gardener. The resurrection of Jesus is the affirmation of the goodness of creation, and the gift of the Spirit is there to make us the fully human beings we were supposed to be, precisely so that we can fulfill that mandate at last.”   (pp 220-221) It also was inspired by spending so much time in John's Gospel this year, and in Strahan Coleman's two books: Thirsting and Beholding.  In Beholding, Coleman shares the image of the “hongi,” a custom of the Mãori people of New Zealand, where he lives, that speaks of the profound moment in Genesis 2:7, and in John 20:21-22, when God breathes life and Spirit into the first human, and and then Jesus does the same into the fearful, hiding disciples. “The hongi is the gentle pressing of noses together in which one another's breath - our “ha” or life force - is intermingled.  Usually, during a hong, you'll shake hands with one arm and embrace the shoulder of the other person in a loose hug.  It's full body experience in which for a good moment of time, two people occupy one space… Mãori traditionally used to recount their ancestry together during the hongi until they found a common ancestor to unite them.”  (p 77).  He has more to say about both this image speaking to intimacy with God, beholding God face to face, as an important understanding of prayer, as well as people in our lives;  obviously this is uncomfortable, confronting, and overwhelming this for us who are more accustomed to highly individualized, personal space-keeping, and generally more transactional-based ways of relating.  Beautifully, if a non-Mãori person visits, and is invited and consents to the hongi, that person is considered Mãori for as long as they are among the Mãori village or gathering. For Adam, for Jesus' disciples, and for you and me, God chose and chooses to come so very close: to be with us, and within us, and between us, saturating us and holding us together.  May we know this and grow in this, more and more, consenting like Mary, and surrendering like Jesus himself, to the Presence and action of God - and to join God in the work of tending and healing God's world.

17th century Puritan preacher Manton shows us a little of what it will be like when we see Jesus. From "Free Grace Broadcaster" Summer 2026 edition.

Suffering, so it would seem, appears contrary to our ascent to God, as if a barrier to the Beatific Vision. However, in scripture God ordains suffering as the path by… Download Audio

When the World Shakes, Look Up In this grounding and timely message, Pastor Rhonda Giles Davis addresses the heavy culture of anxiety, economic strain, and digital noise that characterizes modern life. Drawing from the calling of the Prophet Isaiah, she reminds the congregation that when earthly systems begin to crack, our response shouldn't be to panic, but to lift our gaze to the King who remains completely unshaken. Key Highlights The Low-Grade Anxiety of Our Day: Pastor Rhonda challenges the church to be vigilant about what they consume online. She warns against the "cannibalistic" culture of social media and AI-generated distractions designed to induce panic and tight chests, urging believers to limit exposure to things without godly intent. The "King Uzziah" Crisis: Isaiah's vision didn't happen during a time of peace; it happened "in the year that King Uzziah died." Uzziah had provided stability and prosperity for fifty-two years. His death threw the nation into panic. Pastor Rhonda notes that everyone faces a "King Uzziah moment"—the sudden loss of a job, a diagnosis, or a closed door that causes earthly foundations to shake. The Trap of Hedonic Adaptation: Humans naturally get used to amazing things over time, causing them to become routine. Pastor Rhonda warns against allowing our relationship with Jesus to fall into this routine, urging the church to return to the pure awe and amazement of their first love. The Breaking is Holy Ground: True encounters with God's holiness don't produce a shame that destroys us; instead, they produce a holy brokenness that opens us up. Real transformation requires moving past a polished religious exterior and being completely honest about our mess before the throne. Sustained from the Inside Out: God doesn't just create the universe; He actively sustains it. Pastor Rhonda points out that if God can naturally replace the seven octillion atoms in the human body without our effort, we can completely trust Him to sustain our families, our health, and our finances. Shifting Perspectives: Street Level vs. Throne Level Perspective The Street-Level View (Looking Down) The Throne-Level View (Looking Up) Focus Constantly staring at problems, scrolling through chaos, and rehearsing limitations. Beholding the Master, high and exalted, seated firmly on the throne. The Mind Fear tightens its grip; low-grade anxiety settles into a permanent residence. Faith builds up; earthly troubles begin to grow strangely dim. The Cry "Woe is me! I am ruined and completely unqualified." "Here am I, Lord! Your grace has atoned for my past—send me." Outcome Emotional exhaustion and a fixed mindset of defeat. Spiritual recalibration and a fresh, active "yes" to your calling. Core Message: Your Perspective Dictates Your Peace The central premise of the sermon rests on a foundational truth: where you look determines what you see, and what you see determines how you live. If you can see God completely sovereign above your storm, you can easily survive the waves beneath it. "God isn't looking for people who have figured out how to make the world stop shaking, because you're not gonna do it. He's looking for people who will see Him clear enough and say, 'The shaking in my world does not determine my yes.'" Scriptural Foundation Colossians 1:16-17: All things were created through Him and for Him; He is before all things, and in Him, all things consist. Isaiah 6:1-8: Isaiah's majestic vision of the Lord seated on the throne, surrounded by the seraphim crying, "Holy, holy, holy." Psalm 139: A reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully knit together by God. Luke 12:27: Jesus' teaching to consider the lilies of the field and abandon toxic worry. Action Steps for the Week Silence Your Mouth, Guard Your Clicks: Step back from online arguments, negative commentary, and profit-driven clickbait that feeds your anxiety. X-Out the Dragons: Like master mariner Sir John Franklin, look at the maps of your past trauma and write "Here Be God" right over the spaces where the enemy tried to plant demons and dragons. Attend Consecration Service: Use the upcoming Wednesday night service to lay down your performance, stop pretending you are okay, and let the fire of God's grace touch your wounds. Would you like me to help you create a specific scriptural reading plan focused on the sovereignty and peace of God to ground you when daily life starts to feel overwhelming? "Thanks for listening!

2 Corinthians 3:18 What is one thing about Jesus you find most beautiful? And we all, with unveiled face... Jesus alone makes it so that we can see God more clearly. Beholding the glory of the Lord... Jesus is infinite beauty and the proper object of all Godly affections. Are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another... Jesus promises transformation to make his people glorious and thus prepared to enter his kingdom. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. This work requires the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 10:1-25, John 19:1-37 The Rev. Wil Clark

There's something about Easter where we ask all sorts of questions like who we are, who God is, and what we were created to do. There's a longing and yearning for something more within each of us. What if the answers that we're looking for, that are from deep within our souls, were spoken from the cross? Though Jesus didn't say much in His final moments, what He did say changes everything for our future. In our Easter experience, Pastor John Stickl walks through the 7 statements of the cross and shares how Jesus' final words can become the first words for the rest of our life.

By willingly submitting to an unfair trial and accepting a guilty verdict He did not deserve, Jesus' meekness exposes and shatters our desperate need for self-preservation, freeing us to a life of self-giving love towards others.
