    We have worth and value because of Christ and the unconditional love of God the Father. Once we understand this amazing truth, we are able to live for others, just as Jesus did.

    Today we're going to talk about how much you're worth. And I'm not talking about how much money you have, how many followers you have on Instagram, or how many A's you get on your report card.

    As followers of Christ, we are all sent with a purpose by Jesus to share the good news, serve others, and participate in God's mission, remembering that all things are possible with Him by our side.

    Hey guys, I'm super pumped to chat with you today about something that's been on my mind. We're going to dive into a cool part of the Bible, from the book of Matthew, where Jesus gives us a pretty clear idea of what we're supposed to do now that we're Christians.

    When we give our lives to Christ, we surrender control and embrace His way. We become citizens of heaven and new creations, sacrificing everything for the sake of the gospel.

    Today, we're going to talk about what it means to live as people who've been saved. We're not just supposed to say "thanks" and move on. We're supposed to live differently.

    Now we come to study John 8:2-11. A familiar story about “The Woman Caught in Adultery” and the well-known phrase, “He who is without sin throws the first stone.” Let’s explore the Hypocrisy in the Temple that day, and challenge the judgmental spirit alive in our world today.

    Imagine the scene: The temple court is quiet, filled with people eager to hear Jesus teach. But the peace is about to shatter. Suddenly, a group of powerful religious leaders storms in, dragging a terrified woman to the center. They haven't come for justice; they've come to set a trap. They ...read more
