In the message, "Consider Jesus," Pastor Rich Whitter focuses on Hebrews 3:1–2, a call to fix our thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. Speaking to those who share in a heavenly calling, Pastor Rich challenges us to not just glance at Christ, but to truly consider Him His faithfulness, His obedience, and His authority over our lives.Drawing from the example of Moses, the message underscores that Jesus is greater worthy of more honor and trust. In moments of distraction or discouragement, we're reminded that clarity and confidence come when we lift our eyes to Christ.We hope this message helps you re-center your heart, deepen your focus, and faithfully walk in your calling by continually considering Jesus.
Consider Jesus, for He is greater and far better than any prophet or priest.

SERMON: CONSIDER JESUSSCRIPTURE: Hebrews 3:1-6 SERIES: HOLDING ON TO THE GREATER
Life can give us so many things to worry about. Pastor Ray Bentley says believers don't have to fall victim to that. What can you do to reduce stress and that floating anxiety that attaches itself to anything negative that happens in your life? The spiritual antidote to that is a growing faith. If you could have a faith this year that would grow and that would reduce your anxiety level.
Just be sure it is truth you seek
We are constantly faced with the need to choose where our hope rests. And so there comes a need to measure all things in our lives by Christ—to “consider Jesus”.

Consider Jesus: No Barriers to SalvationPastor Kris Tarkiewicz speaking
Send us a textGUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, pastor, Grace Church Greeley, COThere are lots of things that draw our time and thoughts away from the most important Person and event in history—Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection which took place nearly 2000 years ago in Jerusalem.Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came from heaven, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life with the whole purpose of offering Himself on the cross to pay the death penalty for man's sins against His Father. Why would He do this?Here's why: “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).Consider Jesus in the days leading to His death on the cross. He knew when, where, and how He was going to suffer and die. Above all, He knew that His own Father would be pouring out His just wrath and justice on Him, the innocent One, for all the sins of all who would believe.The gospel of Luke describes Jesus' state on the night of His arrest as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane: “being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground” (Luke 22:44).Agony, praying fervently, sweating blood. What? Didn't Jesus just run through this unruffled like some superhero?No He didn't. His agony and His actions before His atoning death teach us a great deal about who He is and who believers are called to be.Our guest this weekend is Travis Allen. Travis served our country in the US Navy as a member of the SEAL teams and is now the pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO. Travis gave a recent sermon series on “The Agony in the Garden,” explaining the deep suffering of Christ in the hours before He would bear His Father's wrath for our sin on the cross.We hope this program leading into Easter week, along with the April issue of The Christian Worldview Journal, which is scheduled to arrive this week, will help our hearts and minds more deeply appreciate and worship Christ for who He is—the Son of God and only Savior of mankind.-------------------------------RELATED SERMONS:The Agony in the Garden, Part 1The Agony in the Garden, Part 2Lessons from the GardenThe Arrest of JesusGRACE CHURCH GREELEY, CO PODCASTPillar of Truth
How we respond in times of trouble - Consider Jesus
Consider Jesus: The Overlooked and ForgottenPastor Nick Walker speaking
Are all the benefits of being a believer stored up for us on the other side of eternity. Pastor Ray Bentley says no, there's abundant life here as well. Heaven is not merely your future destination. Heaven is something that you can taste here and now because you know what makes heaven? Heaven. What makes heaven heavenly is Jesus, wherever Jesus is.
Consider Jesus: SightPastor Chris Forystek speaking
I wonder if I speak to anyone that says, man, I need more peace. I need more rest in my soul. Pastor Ray Bentley points to where we can find real peace and rest for our souls. The harder the things go and the worse in one sense that the outside becomes and the greater the pressure becomes more and more a precious commodity clinging to the source of rest and peace Jesus Christ spread.
Who? Holy brothers (1) What? Consider Jesus... (1) Apostle and High Priest (1) Faithful to God, as was Moses (2) Worthy of more glory than Moses (3) Builder of God's House (3-4) Faithful over God's House as a Son (5-6)So what? Consider yourself (6) Confident in Hope?
Consider Jesus: Freedom in FaithPastor Kris Tarkiewicz speaking
What if the comfortable goals you've been setting are actually holding you back from your greatest achievements? In this inaugural episode of The After Show, I challenge the conventional wisdom of SMART goal-setting by proposing a powerful shift: replacing "Realistic" with "Hard" to create SMAHT goals (Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Hard (or Heaven must help!), Time-based).When we set merely realistic goals, we stay in our comfort zones. But hard goals—those that make us squirm a little in our seats, that require new skills and outside help—these are the goals that transform us and the world around us. Consider Jesus commissioning his disciples to reach "all nations," not just a few—an impossibly hard goal at the time, yet one that changed history.I share my own struggle with perfectionism in launching this very podcast, waiting too long for everything to be "just right" before pushing record. As Chris Tucker's character in Rush Hour might say, sometimes you just need to "push the damn button" and get started. Hard goals require us to overcome these mental barriers and move forward despite imperfection.The path to achieving hard goals isn't mysterious. Write them down (increasing your chances of success by 80%), create a scorecard to track progress, and share your goals with someone who'll hold you accountable. I'm applying these principles to my own ambitious goal of reaching one million podcast downloads by the decade's end—not for personal glory, but because of the impact those million connections could create.Ready to choose your hard? As the poem says, "Life will never be easy. It will always be hard, but we can choose our hard." What impossible goal will you set today?Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

This week, as Pastor Chris continued our Hebrews series, he invited us to reflect on the faithfulness of Jesus. Faithfulness is a defining characteristic of God's nature, and Jesus stands as the ultimate example of steadfastness and reliability. Through exploring God's promises to the faithful—promises of reward and empowerment—we are reminded of the high honor and security we have as sons and daughters of God, not slaves.

Medical hardships can leave us feeling crushed on every side. No matter where you turn, you're up against it all. Hard to catch your breath at the onslaught of challenges. What's more, maybe you're misunderstood and even wrongly accused while you endure relentless suffering. When it seems everywhere you turn is an uphill battle, you are not alone. In what looks to the world like the weakest, most pathetic culmination of events for Jesus' life, his mockery remained unrelenting. While humbly baring it all on the cross, not even recognizable, the verbal assaults persisted. Namely being accused of lacking physical strength and ability to come down from the cross and questioning his faith + trust is the Father to enable him to end it all. Yet as the insults and false claims spewed in his face persist, they were blind to see that Jesus is in fact using incredible strength fueled by love, for them even, TO STAY. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Paul charges us with words from the Lord that His power is made perfect in [our] weakness. The Lord and His strength is on the most magnificent display in our weakness, when we are crushed and persecuted. Listen in as Brandon unpacks this profound reality as we consider Jesus and be encouraged to press on.

We are talking about all things friendship today on this episode with my friend Michelle Castro. Friendships are a gift from God and as believers we are called to sharpen each other as scripture reminds us…but what does that even mean? How do you begin to form Godly friendships? For the woman who is on her journey to becoming all that God has created her to be, we must also value the gift of honesty; whether that's being honest in what you are going through or even how to honestly share your feelings with a trusted friend. We also need to remember that there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother, Jesus. He wants to be in relationship with YOU!
