Rewatch the Full Service
Missed us on Sunday or want to hear the sermon again? We explore "The Great Reversal"—how Jesus steals our definition of "Success" and blesses the poor in spirit. Songs for the week include: "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee," "Lord, I Need You," "Trading My Sorrows," and "Blest Are They."
Watch: The Weekly Deep Dive
In this week's video, "The Entrance Exam," we dig into Psalm 15 and Micah 6. We explore why we feel the pressure to present a perfect resume to God, and how Jesus takes the test for us so we can "walk humbly" without fear.
