Life or death — what would you choose? It seems like an easy question, but Jesus chose death so that we could have life. This Easter message explores the essence of that choice: a love so unwavering that it endured public humiliation, 39 lashes, a crown of thorns, and the cross. From Palm Sunday's cheers to Good Friday's cries for crucifixion, we see the fickleness of humanity—and the faithfulness of our Savior. Jesus didn't just talk about love—He proved it through sacrifice. As the Good Shepherd, He laid down His life for His flock, offering us righteousness in exchange for our sin. Now the choice is ours: will we follow Him only when it's easy, or will we choose His way even when it costs us something? Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

What if death isn't the end, but just the beginning? In his Easter message, "The Resurrection Changes Everything", Pastor Josh unpacks how Jesus' resurrection rewrites every story. He is alive, He is worthy, and His victory over the grave changes everything—past, present, and future. Jesus has broken the chains of fear, conquered the grave, and promised that what God did in Him, He will do in all creation. He is not only alive—He is the Resurrection, and His empty tomb is the promise that death doesn't get the final word. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Jesus Saves - Pastor Josh - 4.20.25 by Vertical Church
There are a lot of broken gospels out there, but the gospel of do tends to be the most appealing. We love to believe that we can "do it" or "earn it" but that's not how the true Gospel works. Join us as Pastor Josh unpacks how what Jesus did puts on full display that...IT...IS...DONE.
In this Good Friday teaching Pastor Josh focused on the significance of Exodus 12:7-13 and its foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice. The passage recounts the first Passover, where the blood of a lamb protected the Israelites from God's judgment. This event symbolizes the need for a mediator between God and man, highlighting the necessity of Israel's preparation, the covering of blood to avoid death when God visited and how these things pointed forward to our true Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ.Good Friday is a day to remember the weight of sin and the horrific cost of redemption. Yet, it is also a day of hope, as it points to the ultimate victory of Christ's resurrection. Which is why we are urged to examine our faith and trust in the blood of Christ as our refuge and salvation.
Pastor Josh looks at John 6:15-25.

In this powerful message from our "More Than a Name" series, Pastor Josh dives into the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, as described in Matthew 21:1-11. Witness the moment when Jesus, humble and riding on a donkey, fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9, bringing a message of hope and salvation to the crowds shouting "Hosanna!" As we explore the significance of Jesus as the perfect Lamb, we reflect on His sacrificial role, connecting it to the Passover and the profound implications of His death and resurrection for our redemption (John 1:29, Exodus 12:5). Pastor Josh explains how Jesus' sacrifice was not just a historical event but a transformative moment for all who believe.Join us as we encourage you this Easter season to:
In this sermon, Pastor Josh takes us into a moment we often overlook—the burial of Jesus. But in this quiet moment of the Gospel, we see three profound truths:1. Proof: Jesus truly died, verified by Roman execution and confirmed by the grave.2. Providence: Every detail—from Joseph of Arimathea's bold request to the perfectly timed Sabbath rest—was orchestrated by God.3. Proclamation: Even in death, Jesus declares His lordship, proclaiming victory over sin and the grave.
It's easy to follow a broken gospel; one that is different than Jesus taught. Join us as Pastor Josh unpacks the true Gospel and how we can address drift.
