Jesus said something that stopped people in their tracks — and it should stop us too.

In Luke 13:22-30, someone asks Jesus a simple question: "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" Jesus doesn't answer the question. Instead, he turns it around and makes it personal. Don't wonder about everyone else, he says. Strive to enter through the narrow door — because many who think they're in, won't be.

This is one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture. And Jesus said it because he loved people too much to let them stay comfortable in a false assumption.

Big Idea: The door to salvation is narrow. The opportunity to enter is limited. The decision to choose is personal. Strive now to enter through Jesus Christ.

In this message:

What Jesus actually meant by "strive" — and why the word should shake you
The difference between knowing Jesus and knowing about Jesus
Why the prosperity gospel is a lie — and what Jesus actually promised
What it means that the first will be last and the last will be first
Why the door is still open — and why it won't always be

Have you ever been certain you knew exactly where Jesus was in your life — only to realize you were looking in the wrong place?

In this message from Luke 2:41-52, we look at the only story Scripture gives us from the childhood of Jesus. Mary and Joseph lose track of Jesus for three days — not because they were careless, but because he wasn't where they expected him to be. And when they finally find him, his answer stops them cold.

This passage has something urgent to say to anyone who has ever felt like Jesus was distant, or like life has taken a detour you didn't plan for.

Big Idea: You find Jesus when you prioritize the Father's presence — not your own assumptions.

In this message:

Why faithfulness doesn't guarantee your life will be free from interruption
The difference between routine and relationship
What it actually means to walk by faith and not by sight
Where Jesus is always found — and how to get there

What if God is already at work — and you're missing it because it doesn't look big enough?

In this message from Luke 13:18-21, we look at one of Jesus' shortest parables — the mustard seed — and discover that God almost never begins with the big and the flashy. He begins with the small, the simple, and the seemingly insignificant. And when He is at work, He grows His purposes bigger than we can ever imagine.
Big Idea: God often begins with what seems small and insignificant, and grows His purposes bigger than we can ever imagine.

In this message:

Why the Kingdom of God starts small — and why that's intentional
What God is more interested in than buildings and budgets
Why small acts of faith can have a massive Kingdom impact
The one question you need to answer this week
