2w ago00:34:53Tap to summarizeWhat do the emotions of Jesus reveal about the heart of God? Kicking off The Emotions of Jesus, Pastor Paul Taylor teaches from Matthew 9:35–38, Hebrews 2, Hebrews 1, and Mark 1 to show that Jesus was fully human, fully God, and moved by sinless compassion. When Jesus saw the crowds, He did not look away, judge, or detach; He moved toward the hurting, confused, helpless, sick, and spiritually lost. This message shows how compassion is more than pity, sympathy, or empathy. It is the love of Christ that sees people clearly and moves toward them with healing, mercy, and the good news of the Kingdom.

GOAT
3w ago00:28:01Tap to summarizePride is one of the most destructive sins because it distorts how we see ourselves, shifts blame to others, steals joy, hardens the heart, and separates us from God. Using the animated movie GOAT as a modern illustration, Pastor Josh Pocock teaches from Galatians 6, Proverbs 28, Philippians 2, Mark 7, Hebrews 3, and Mark 10 to show why God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. This message exposes false humility, calls believers to honest repentance, and points to Jesus as the perfect model of humility, service, and surrender. If you struggle with pride, comparison, control, or needing to win, this message offers a better way forward through Christ.

Jul 1200:29:15Tap to summarizeRedemption is one of the deepest longings of the human heart, but it cannot be earned by chasing wins, fixing your image, or outrunning your past. Using the movie F1 as a modern illustration, Pastor Josh Pocock points to Scripture including Ecclesiastes, Isaiah 54, Philippians 3, John 14:6, John 3:16, and Romans 5 to show that true redemption only comes through Jesus. This message unpacks the difference between regret and shame, why legacy begins with surrender, and how believers can face the past without being trapped by it. Whether you feel stuck, ashamed, or spiritually curious, this message offers the hope of redemption through Christ.
