The Great Samaritan
4d ago00:30:34Tap to summarizeMost of us read the Good Samaritan and ask, "Am I the priest? The Levite? The Samaritan?" But Jesus may have intended something very different. What if we're not supposed to see ourselves as the one offering help—but the one needing help? The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus did not pass us by. Jesus became the wounded Man to rescue those who wounded Him. And because we have been shown mercy, He calls us to become people who show mercy.
Transcribe →Pentecost: Open to the Spirit
2w ago00:44:44Tap to summarizePentecost is about far more than a strange moment in Acts 2 where people spoke in tongues. Pentecost is a massive convergence of Old Testament promises: a new and greater Sinai, the reversing of Babel, and the day the prophets longed for. And it is all initiated by the Spirit of God descending from heaven to dwell within His people—revealing that the gospel is about far more than simply going to heaven when we die. The Spirit desires to transform us, empower us, and partner with us in bringing heaven to earth right now—changing the way we understand salvation, kingdom, mission, and everyday life.
Transcribe →Stamped: Image, Kingdom, Allegiance
3w ago00:42:27Tap to summarizeWhen Jesus was given the opportunity to publicly condemn one of the most corrupt governments in human history, He didn't go there. In fact, He almost seems dismissive. Holding a Roman tribute coin, He says: “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s—and to God what belongs to God. Because Jesus recognized the greater danger is not merely living under a corrupt government—but giving that government an allegiance that belongs to King Jesus alone. You can hold that coin—as long as that coin is not holding you.
Transcribe →Not-So-Happy Mother's Day
4w ago00:42:51Tap to summarizeMother’s Day is not joyful for everyone. For many, it carries comparison, rejection, loneliness, disappointment, or the feeling of never quite being enough. In Leah’s story, we discover a powerful truth: people may fail to see our worth—but Yahweh never does. And when our hearts finally awaken to the love, acceptance, and identity already offered to us in Christ, striving gives way to worship. “This time, I will praise the Lord.”
Transcribe →The Question Behind the Question
May 300:39:18Tap to summarizeJesus’ authority was never the real question—the response to it was. Most of us don’t lack clarity—we resist surrender. The call of discipleship is simple: say yes to the King and live under His authority.
Transcribe →Presence.
Apr 2600:24:04Tap to summarizeWe can build structures. We can gather crowds. But without His presence—what do we really have? From the beginning, Jesus has been pursuing one thing: to dwell with His people. From the garden to the tabernacle to the temple to the cross to us—the story has always been the same. And today, because of the Spirit, His presence is here—with us.
Transcribe →Where's the Fruit
Apr 1200:36:21Tap to summarizeA fig tree that looked alive—but had no fruit. Withered. A temple system full of activity—but lacking faithfulness. Ended. Jesus brought the temple system to a full stop—becoming the final sacrifice and taking His place as our High Priest. Now we are the temple—cleansed by the Holy Spirit—and as we abide in Him, what was once empty begins to bear fruit.
Transcribe →When the Empty Tomb Isn't Enough
Apr 500:41:45Tap to summarizeThe lives of Jesus’ followers weren't transformed by the empty tomb—but by an encounter with the risen King. And the good news is that King Jesus is still encountering lives today.
Transcribe →The Unlikely King
Mar 2900:32:52Tap to summarizeThey saw the 👑 King—but not clearly. They celebrated His arrival—but misunderstood His mission. They looked for strength—but missed surrender. They wanted victory—but didn’t recognize how He would win. Not on a war horse 🐎—on a donkey. 🫏 Not to defeat Rome—but to defeat sin. Not through power—but through sacrifice. ✝️ Jesus still works in surprising ways—often quiet, often unexpected, often right in front of us. Are we seeing Him clearly? 👀
Transcribe →The Upside-Down Kingdom - Week 2
Mar 2200:39:47Tap to summarizeIt’s possible to walk with Jesus—and still not see Him clearly. Because His kingdom doesn’t look like ours. It’s upside-down. A kingdom whose King was enthroned with sinners on His right and left. A kingdom whose Messiah was recognized by the blind and missed by the religious. A kingdom where serving the least is the way to greatness. A kingdom where beggars are rich and the wealthy are poor. Maybe our prayer should be simple: “Jesus, give us spiritual sight to clearly see You.”
