    (Losing to Gain) Part 1 – The Comfortable Illusion It sounds so inviting: Life is a beach. The phrase promises calm tides, soft sand, a life where the hardest choice is whether to nap or swim. We crave that ease. Sometimes we even remake God in that image—faith as a sunny getaway where problems ...read more

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 11, 2026

    The “lifting up” of Jesus was an actual event which has great theological meaning. The death of Jesus on the cross… His being “lifted up”… means much to our souls.

    Main Idea: God not only suffers for us, but also with us. His co-suffering love is demonstrated through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. As followers of Jesus, we are called to co-suffer with others, bringing life and healing.

    You know how sometimes life just sucks? Well, Jesus gets it. He knew He was about to go through some really rough stuff, like dying on a cross. But He also knew that by going through that, He'd be able to help a lot of people. Just like when you're playing a tough level in a video game, you know ...read more

    This sermon simplifies the process of serving God into four easy steps: 1. Cultivating a mindset of service. 2. Being determined to serve. 3. Making a commitment to follow God. 4. Serving in your current circumstances.
