    Faith

    Jesus was questioned about His authority, but His answer pointed to something deeper than religion: faith. This week's message explores how Scripture reveals Jesus as the promised Savior, from Isaiah's prophecy to Paul's declaration that every knee will bow before Him. When doubts, criticism, or religious expectations try to steal our confidence, we're reminded that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone. God isn't calling us into religion, but into a relationship with the One who guides, restores, and gives life. Scripture Matthew 21:23-32 Isaiah 45:18-25 Philippians 2:1-13 Matthew 11:18-19 Daniel 7:13-14 Quiz of the Week   When the religious leaders questioned Jesus, what did He ask them about first?

    Parable of the Workers

    Jesus tells a story about workers hired at different times, yet all receiving the same reward. This week's message reminds us that God's kingdom is built on grace, not comparison, and that His invitation is still going out to a broken world. Through the example of Christ's humility and the promise of God's peace, we're reminded that He calls ordinary people to be His light, serve one another, and share the good news of His love wherever they are. Scripture Matthew 20:1-16 John 13:12-17 Philippians 4:4-7 Quiz of the Week   According to the parable in Matthew 20, what did the workers hired at the eleventh hour receive?

    Forgive One Another

    Peter asks how many times he must forgive, and Jesus points him to a heart shaped by mercy. This week’s message reminds us that real forgiveness isn’t easy — it requires the Holy Spirit’s strength, a softened heart, and a willingness to let go of bitterness. Through Jesus’ parable and Paul’s call to stop judging one another, we’re shown a love that frees, restores, and reflects the grace God has already given us. Scripture   Matthew 18:21–35 John 15:5 Romans 14:1–23 John 16:13 Romans 15:1–3 Quiz of the Week   According to Jesus in Matthew 18, how often should we forgive someone who sins against us?

    Love One Another

    Jesus reminds us that the Father seeks every lost sheep, protects every hurting heart, and calls us to love with the same gentleness He shows us. This week’s message points us back to childlike humility, the Good Shepherd’s care, and the kind of love that lifts the broken and stands firm against the enemy’s lies. Scripture   Matthew 18:1–20 John 10:7–18 1 Peter 5:6–10 Matthew 11:28–30 Romans 13:8–14 Quiz of the Week   In Matthew 11, what does Jesus promise to those who come to Him? Answer the quiz on YouTube

    Take Up Your Cross

    Jesus tells His disciples that following Him means surrender, trust, and a willingness to lay down their own way. This week’s message points us to the heart of that call — denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and walking where He leads. Through Peter’s restoration, Stephen’s bold witness, and the courage of the early believers, we’re reminded that true discipleship is costly, but always anchored in the One who goes before us. Scripture   Matthew 16:21–28 John 21:14–22 Acts 7 Romans 12:17–21 Quiz of the Week   In John 21, what did Jesus tell Peter to do after Peter affirmed his love for Him? Answer the quiz on YouTube

    Who Do You Say That I Am?

    Jesus’ question still speaks to us today: Who do you say that I am? This week’s message points us to the God who revealed Himself as I AM, and to Jesus who shows that same name in His life — the Door, the Good Shepherd, the Light of the World, the Bread of Life. Through Scripture, we’re reminded that the eternal God has made Himself known in Christ, inviting us to trust Him, walk with Him, and know Him as Savior and Friend. Scripture   Matthew 16:13–20 Proverbs 18:24 Exodus 3:13–15 John 10:9–11 John 1:1–14 John 8:52–58 Psalms 132:11 Isaiah 43:2–19 Quiz of the Week   According to John 1, who is described as the Word that became flesh?

    Faith Over Fear

    When fear rises and the storm feels close, Jesus reminds us where our focus belongs. This week’s message points us to the Savior who reaches out His hand, steadies the weary, and speaks courage into anxious hearts. Through Scripture’s promises, we’re shown that God has not given us a spirit of fear — He is with us, strengthening, upholding, and calling us to trust Him even when the wind grows strong. Scripture   Matthew 14:22–33 Isaiah 41:10 Joshua 1:9 2 Timothy 1:6–13 1 John 4:17–19 Romans 8:15 Ephesians 6:12 Hebrews 11:6–40 Isaiah 40:28–31 Quiz of the Week   What did Jesus say to Peter after pulling him up from the water?

    It Is Written

    Thomas wanted something he could see and touch, but Jesus points us to the blessing of believing what God has already revealed. This week’s message reminds us that Scripture was written so we might trust — the testimony of the apostles, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the Word made flesh. God has spoken with clarity and purpose, giving us a foundation that steadies our faith and fills our hearts with hope. Scripture   John 20:25–31 Romans 10:8–17 2 Peter 1:16–21 1 John 1:1–4 Isaiah 45 Philippians 1–4 Quiz of the Week According to 2 Peter 1, how did the prophets speak the words recorded in Scripture?
