Let's discover how ...

It's Palm Sunday!

Let's take a look at The Chosen Season 5’s Last Supper, to help us explore Jesus’ triumphal entry on Palm Sunday (John 12:12-19).

We know Israel longed for a strong king (1 Samuel 8, but every ruler left them wanting—except one. Jesus, the humble King on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9). It is Jesus we know who wins our deepest battles through sacrifice, not swords. Though His actions crushed expectations, He reigns as Ki...

The Least Supper: Judas’ Betrayal and the Bread of Life

We’re diving in The Chosen Season 5’s powerful portrayal of the Last Supper, where Jesus reveals a betrayer among His disciples. “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me” (John 13:21).

That betrayer? Judas. But why would he do it? Why would Judas give Jesus away?

This week we explore the gripping moment from John 13:21-30, where Jesus dips the bread and hands i...

This week let's dive into what it truly means to live as a follower of Jesus.

It’s not just about what we say—it’s about the fruit we bear.

We will explore how our lives reflect either the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) or the fruit of the flesh (selfishness, frustration, anxiety, impatience, and more).

Jesus didn’t call us to polish our flaws but to cruc...

Is your faith a contract or a covenant?

We often treat God transactionally: "If I do X, God does Y." But the Bible shows a relational faith, loving God for who He is, not just what He does. From the Israelites to Jonah, Martha, and others, we see the struggle when God doesn't meet our expectations. Are we missing God's heart by focusing on what we get, instead of who He is? How can we truly "seek first [God’s] kingdom" (Matthew 6:3...

Do you ever wonder if your faith is truly impacting your life?

Do you say God's first, but live like something else is?

We're talking about having a "divided heart" – where your words and actions don't match. We'll look at how anything can become an "idol" if it comes before God. It's not just statues; it's anything you put first.

We'll also talk about God's "jealousy" – which is about Him wanting a close relationship with you. How...

Do you ever wonder if your faith is truly impacting your life?

Ever felt like you're wearing the Christian label, but your heart isn't fully in it?

You're not alone. Many of us fall into the trap of being "Christian-ish" – a half-hearted faith where we pick and choose what parts of God's Word we want to follow. But is that really enough? This week we will dive deep into the dangerous illusion of selective obedience and exploring ho...

Do you ever wonder if your faith is truly impacting your life? 

Is your Christianity more about a label than a lifestyle?

You're not alone. Many of us find ourselves practicing a compromised version of faith, where comfort and cultural acceptance outweigh genuine obedience to Jesus.

In our new message series, we'll ask the hard questions and explore how to break free from shallow faith. We'll examine the ways we might be set...
