Why the Cross Changes Everything

According to His Purpose: Strengthening You Heart in Unstable Times

When everything in life becomes unstable, the greatest need is not immediate answers, but a heart anchored in God. In 1 Samuel 30, David models this by strengthening himself in the Lord before seeking direction, showing that stability begins internally before it moves outward. Ultimately, this points to Christ, who secured an unshakable foundation for us, so that even in uncertainty, we can stand firm in Him.

Living Hope When Foundations Shake Part 1

In today’s sermon, guest speaker Tom Bourne focused on the hope we have in Christ alone. Drawing from 1 Peter 1, he explored the distinguishing marks of true hope compared to false hope, helping us see where our confidence is meant to rest.

If You’ve Seen Jesus, You’ve Seen the Father

This Sunday, guest speaker Derek Miedema delivered a sermon titled “If You’ve Seen Jesus, You’ve Seen the Father” based on John 14:8–11.

The God Who Conquers Death

This message focuses on the reality of the resurrection and what it means for us personally. The empty tomb is not just an event to believe in, but the declaration that sin has been paid for and death has been defeated. Because we are united with Christ, His resurrection becomes our life. The central question is: Can we trust God when we cannot see clearly? Easter answers that question by showing us that God is already ahead of us, and that our lives are moving toward life, not loss.

Why the Cross Changes Everything

The cross stands at the center of all history, where Jesus Christ willingly gave His life as a substitute, bearing our sin so that we might be forgiven and made right with God. Through His sacrifice, the barrier between God and humanity is removed, justice is fully satisfied, and access to God is now freely given, not earned. In response, we remember, receive, and proclaim this grace, trusting in Christ alone, who paid the full price so that we might have life.
