Deep down, we're all looking for love. That's because our souls were created to be filled with the love of God. It is the fuel our hearts need. But how do we experience and receive God's love? Lauren continues our "Storing Up Oil" Series.

In a society where so many struggle with depression, chronic anxiety, burnout, exhaustion, stress, and addiction — could it be that something is missing? Could it be we’re trying to live our lives without the fuel our souls truly need? But what is that “soul fuel”? And how do we get it? Todd looks at Jesus’ answer to these questions.

There’s something about our modern age that creates anxiety like never before, so one of our biggest challenges is learning how to live at peace in a chaotic world. Jesus promised to give His followers peace, on the evening of the first Easter, He followed through with that promise. But this same peace is just as available to us today as it was to first-century believers.

What is Jesus like? How we answer that question determines how we relate to Him. Religious imagery often depicts Jesus as an ethereal mystic, stoic and enigmatic. Not the kind of person you’d expect to be good for a laugh. But Luke’s account of the first Easter shows us a very different side of Jesus — His playfulness and joy. When we see that Jesus is in a good mood it changes how we relate to Him.

WThe resurrection of Jesus was the most important event in history. Without it, there would be no Christianity, and Jesus would just be another historical footnote. But the resurrection validated everything that Jesus said about Himself. Not only does that give us hope for eternity, it means we can experience Him today.

What happens when Jesus shows up in our lives in a different way than we were expecting? When He intentionally defies our expectations and invites us into a different journey? Lauren looks at Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem in our fun-filled Palm Sunday service.
