Curse

Conference Sunday

Drawing from the road to Emmaus, we see how the risen Jesus draws near in our doubt, opens the Scriptures, and reveals the good news of who he is and what he has done. As we encounter Christ in God’s Word, may the Holy Spirit set our hearts on fire with love for Jesus and passion to make him known. Preacher: Sermon by Guy Mason Bible Reading: Luke 24:13-35 This episode is part of Burning Hearts, the 2026 City on a Hill Conference, where we gathered for three days to be transformed by God’s Word and leave with hearts burning for Jesus and his mission.
