Jesus & People: A Perspective Worth Holding
Jesus tells his disciples not to judge and condemn others because the way one judges will be how one is judged, for, like the blind man, one does not have the knowledge that the teacher has nor does one have clear self- awareness as a hypocrite might think he has.

Jesus & People: Love Without Limits

Jesus People: The Reason to be Happy or Sad
By pronouncing blessings and curses, Jesus teaches that those who follow him recognize that they need him, and they are blessed. But those who don’t recognize their need for him are self-satisfied already.

Baptisms During Service
Join us as we celebrate new life in Christ through baptisms during our Sunday service. If you would like to be baptized, talk with a pastor.

Jesus & People: Decisions by Prayer
Before choosing his twelve disciples, Jesus spent the entire night in prayer. What if our biggest decisions flowed from our deepest dependence on God?

Jesus responds, to the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, to their questioning about the disciples “working” and Jesus healing on the Sabbath for he tells them that he is Lord of the Sabbath.

Why aren’t Jesus’ disciples fasting? His answer isn’t just about food—it’s about weddings, wine, and a whole new way of life.

Jesus & People: What Do You Think?
Levi’s conversion and banquet with Jesus show that Jesus’ mission was to help those who needed help, not those who didn’t.

Jesus & People: Who Can Forgive Sin?
When a paralyzed man is lowered through a roof, Jesus does the unthinkable—he forgives sins before healing. What kind of authority stuns a crowd and silences the critics?

Jesus & People: What the Signs Say
A desperate man reaches out—and Jesus touches the untouchable. As word spreads of the miracle, Jesus retreats to pray, showing power and purpose go hand in hand.

Jesus & People: The Call to All
At Jesus’ word, empty nets become overflowing. Stunned by the miracle, Simon and his crew drop everything to follow the one who calls them to fish for people.

Jesus & People: The Great Physician
Jesus heals with divine authority, yet still retreats to pray. His power came with purpose—and it started in solitude.

The driving out of the demon from the man in the synagogue in Capernaum shows that Jesus, as God, has authority over the demonic.

Jesus & People: Mission Possible
Jesus returned home with power and promise—but when he spoke of God’s grace for outsiders, the crowd turned violent. What happens when good news offends instead of excites?
