Our True, Living, and Certain Resurrection Hope

Even in our modern age of technological progress, depression is on the rise. The reality that Jesus walked out of the tomb offers the world a surprising hope for the future and a renewed meaning in the present.

Jesus our Advocate and Atonement

No matter what they believe, by and large humans tend to live with a posture that we must justify or atone for what we've done. But it's never enough. The death of Messiah Jesus on the cross means our mistakes are covered, we have an Advocate in the midst of suffering, and we can live in harmony with God and others by the power of the Spirit.

Hurt and the Freedom of Vulnerability

To be truly human, we must cultivate a capacity to feel and describe what we are feeling to others. Living in this rediscovered freedom, we ultimately find that God is doing what we never could.

Intro: True Way to Be Human

Suppressing our emotions or letting them control us are all too common strategies in our human experience. However, Jesus demonstrated a healthy, emotional spirituality that teaches us what it means to truly love and reflect the image of God.

The Healing Range of Jesus

As Messiah Jesus announced the Good News of God's Kingdom, He went about restoring physical bodies, minds, and even family relationships. Something new was happening--Heaven and Earth were coming back together through Him.

The Calling of the Disciples

Why did Messiah Jesus choose 12 disciples, why did he call them fishers of men, and how does that clarify our own calling? The surprising answers are actually found earlier in God's story--in the Law and the Prophets.

The Land: A Story and a Theology

The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that geography matters in his story of how Messiah brought a revolution of light to the darkest of places.

Real Evil. Real Victory.

The Messiah really did do battle with The Accuser. His victory means there is a new ruler over the cosmos, and we share in the rewards of that victory.

Walking in the Wilderness with Jesus

When the lies of Satan break into our minds and lives, Jesus shows us that evil has no power over those who are confident in their Gospel-infused identity. 

Showdown in the Wilderness

As we begin to study the temptation of Jesus, we find that He did more than overcome temptation. He acted on behalf of Israel to usher in the Good News Kingdom.
