Losing It All: Losing Pride
Today’s worship focuses on the necessity of the cross and the tomb for our salvation. In our verse of the day, from Mark 10:45, Jesus reminds us of his life’s purpose. A ransom must be paid to set us free from sin.
Losing It All: Losing Power
Today, the incredible depths of grace are on full display. No one deserves God’s love, no matter what they think they have done or not done. God’s love is undeserved, unearned, and unconditional.
Losing It All: Losing Suddenly
Today’s worship focuses on God’s patience. Often times we observe tragedy in our world and in our lives and wonder why did God allow this all to happen? How can he just sit back and watch all this?

Spared: By God’s Wisdom Not Ours
Jesus could not have accomplished his mission if he avoided suffering. Jesus could not redeem sinners without a shameful death on the cross.
Spared: Through, Not From, Suffering
Jesus could not have accomplished his mission if he avoided suffering. Jesus could not redeem sinners without a shameful death on the cross.
Spared: Because God Is for Us
In the season of Lent, we see Jesus taking our place in his passion - the Valiant One fighting for us on the battlefield. Today’s struggle is against temptation.
