    224: 'Twas The Night Before | Cal Fong

    What does it mean for a King to surrender? This Palm Sunday, we explored a radical truth: Jesus didn't become King by demanding surrender from others—He became King by surrendering Himself. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus surrendered His will to the Father and His innocence to judgment, both human and divine. He took the cup of God's wrath meant for us so we could receive His mercy and grace. Here's the beautiful invitation: Jesus calls us to surrender too. Not our innocence, but our guilt. Not to judgment, but to the Father's overwhelming mercy. When Peter impulsively struck the servant's ear, Jesus healed it—removing all evidence of Peter's crime. That's exactly what Jesus does for us at the cross. He removes all evidence of our sin so we stand blameless before God. Will you surrender your will to His? As we approach Good Friday, remember: the cross is where God's wrath and grace perfectly meet. "God made Him who had no sin to become sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21)

    223: He Made Himself Nothing | Charis Israelson

    What kind of king strips off his royal garments to wash the dirty feet of his servants? Our King did. On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus wrapped a towel around his waist and knelt before his disciples—including the one who would betray him. This wasn't just an act of hospitality. It was the gospel made visible. The Creator of the universe taking the position of the lowest slave, cleansing those who could never earn such love. Jesus asks us the same question he asked the disciples: "Do you understand what I have done for you?" He didn't just save us for eternity—he saved us to live differently now. To abide in his love. To serve others as he has served us. To bring good news to a world that desperately needs it. The gospel transforms everything. Have you allowed Jesus to wash your feet? And how will you respond to such radical love?

    222: No Shame, No Regrets | Spencer van Der Walt

    What would you give up for Jesus? Mary of Bethany poured out a year's worth of wages—her most precious possession—to anoint Jesus before His crucifixion. While the disciples criticized her "waste," Jesus saw her heart: complete devotion, total surrender, holding nothing back. This powerful story from Matthew 26 challenges us with profound questions: Is Jesus truly the coronated King of your heart, or just a comfortable version that fits your preferences? What does complete obedience look like in your life? Here's the piercing question from a worship song: "Would I die for You like You died for me?" The beautiful truth? Even if you're struggling with these questions, Jesus knows exactly where you are. He hasn't given up on you. All you need to do is surrender it all to Him—it was His from the beginning anyway. "Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be" (Luke 12:34).

    221: By What Authority? | William Dmytrow

    We say "Yes, Lord" with our words—but do our lives follow through?In this message, Pastor Will challenges us with a powerful parable from Matthew 21. Jesus confronts religious leaders who knew all the right answers but lacked true obedience. The question isn't whether Jesus has authority—it's whether we'll surrender to His lordship in our everyday lives.Two sons. One said "no" but repented and obeyed. The other said "yes" but never followed through. Which one are you? True discipleship isn't about perfect words on Sunday—it's about behavioral repentance that changes our direction Monday through Saturday.Where has Jesus clearly spoken in your life, but you've been avoiding Him? Maybe it's your phone habits, your relationships, your finances, or your time. The kingdom belongs not to the most intelligent, but to the most repentant. It's time to align our lives with the King of the universe.

    220:Tables, Children and Tree's | Wes Hodgson

    What will the fruit of your life be? This Lent, we're challenged to look beyond appearances and examine what's really growing in our hearts.Jesus didn't just flip tables in the temple—He exposed the difference between religious performance and genuine faith. Like a fig tree full of leaves but bearing no fruit, we can look spiritually healthy on the outside while remaining empty within. But Christ calls us deeper. He asks: Is your life producing the fruit of love for God and others, or just selfishness? Praise and gratitude, or bitterness? Genuine faith, or just the appearance of it?The good news? Jesus said in John 15 that when we remain connected to Him, we WILL bear much fruit. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. This Lent, let's stay rooted in the Vine and allow His life to flow through us, producing fruit that lasts.

    219: What's With The Donkey? | Cal Fong

    As we enter the season of Lent, we're exploring the final week of Jesus' life—and it starts with an unexpected choice. Jesus, the King of Kings, rode into Jerusalem on a borrowed, unridden donkey. Not a war horse. Not a royal chariot. A humble donkey. Here's the beautiful truth: that donkey reveals everything about the kind of King Jesus is. A spiritual King bringing peace, not war. An eternal King who owns nothing temporary. A gracious King offering relationship over religion. And most incredibly—a deserved King who came for the undeserved. Just as a firstborn donkey could only be redeemed by the sacrifice of a perfect lamb, we who are unclean by nature can only be saved through Jesus, our perfect Lamb. This Lent, take time to ask: "Who is this?" and let your life answer: "Jesus, You are my King."

    218: Take Off The Old - Put On The New | Wes Hodgson

    We all have that "old self" inside us—the anger, comparison, pride, or selfishness that pulls us away from God's best for our lives. But here's the beautiful truth: we're not meant to stay stuck there. This week we explored Ephesians 4:17-24 and discovered three powerful ways to take off the old and put on the new. Just like Eustace in The Chronicles of Narnia couldn't shed his dragon skin alone, we can't transform ourselves through willpower. We need to walk by grace through faith, renew our minds with what's true, and most importantly—be present to God's presence as He does the deep work only He can do. The question isn't whether we need to change. It's whether we'll lay ourselves down and let God do what only He can do. None of us graduate from grace. We all need His transforming power every single day.

    217: Growing Up, Together

    Are you standing strong, or getting knocked around by every new teaching and opinion? In Ephesians 4:14-16, Paul challenges us with a powerful truth: spiritual infancy is a normal beginning, but it's never meant to be our destination. We live in a world of cunning schemes and crafty arguments designed to pull us away from truth. But here's the hope: we don't grow alone. Christ has given us His body, the church, where we mature together through speaking truth in love. When we're truly connected to each other and to Christ our head, we build the strength to stand against the waves. The question isn't just "Am I growing?" but "Am I close enough to others in the body that they can speak truth into my life?" Growth happens in relationship, knit together by Christ who nourishes and sustains us. It's time to grow up, together.
