The Disappointed

In “Can’t Believe,” Pastor J.D. looks at several characters from the book of John, people who might have wanted to believe, but—for whatever reason—felt like they just couldn't. The obstacles that kept people from believing 2,000 years ago are the same ones that prevent people from truly believing in Jesus Christ today. Our prayer is that those who don’t yet believe in Jesus would trust him for the first time, and that believers would re-learn what it means to believe in him.

Resurrection Hope

In “I Am an Alien,” Pastor J.D. deals with a question that people have been asking for thousands of years—why is there so much suffering in the world? “I Am an Alien” walks through the book of 1 Peter, a book written to Christians who were not only aware of the problem of evil, but were living in the midst of pain, suffering, and constant trouble. Our prayer is that those who feel like outsiders in this world would see how the gospel transforms even our most painful experiences.
