Many people follow various versions of Jesus - from a progressive validator to a wish-granting figure - but these distortions can prevent us from knowing the true biblical Jesus. Learn how Jesus fulfilled ancient prophecies, came as both King and servant, and why His suffering was essential for humanity's salvation. In Luke 18:31-34, Pastor Greg teaches us how to identify who the real Jesus and not the Jesus of our imagination.

A Humble Approach

In Luke 18, Pastor Matt Shackleford shares how salvation is impossible through our own efforts.

Contrasting Characters

Are you trying to earn your way to heaven? Discover why the most religious person might be the furthest from God's kingdom, while the most unlikely candidate could be closest to salvation. In this sermon, Pastor Matt Shackelford teaches from Luke 18 and shares why religious performance and self-righteousness block our path to salvation. This essential teaching explores the contrast between earning salvation and receiving it through grace. Perfect for those seeking answers about salvation, religious truth seekers, and anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of God's kingdom.

The Field Guide to Winning Souls

In Acts 17, we see Paul's approach to sharing the gospel provides a powerful blueprint for modern evangelism and winning souls. His method involved being deeply moved by the spiritual lostness around him, carefully planning his approach, and sharing the gospel in a way that the Athenians would understand. In this sermon, Pastor Matt Shackelford preaches from Mars Hill and shares three reasons we need to evangelize and help win souls.

Ready for the Return in a Restless Land

In our distraction-filled world, maintaining focus on spiritual readiness for Christ's return is crucial. The kingdom of God exists among us now, yet many miss God's presence. Common distractions like social media, materialism, and daily routines can blind us to God's work. In this sermon, Todd Parr helps you by identifying and removing these distractions to replace them with scripture. By making decisions based on Kingdom priorities and regularly examining our hearts, we can be ready for Christ's sudden return.

Grace that Grips the Grateful

The story of the ten lepers from Luke 17 reveals profound truths about genuine gratitude. In this sermon, Pastor Matt Shackelford shows how genuine gratitude involves personally experiencing God's power, practicing continual praise, and proclaiming His grace to others.

Revelation 8 gives a picture of God's wrath in the end times. Suffice to say, it's not a pretty picture. Scripture tells us that the consequence of sin is more sin, and we see that in our times today. In this episode of Moment of Truth, Pastor Matt Shackelford reads Revelation 8 and discusses the importance of sharing the gospel with others while we still have time.

Gay to Christian Testimony - Homosexuality Was My Identity

Becket spent over 25 years pursuing the desires we all desperately want as human beings: relationships, love, intimacy, support, and affirmation. Undeniably, these desires had a unique grip on his heart that was incomparable to any other desire. They carried with them emotions that vastly impacted his will, intentions, and actions and became a unique part of his identity.The problem with this is that he was not created to have an identity rooted in sexual orientation or human relationships. No one is. We were created to have an identity rooted in God. If that's off, all of our desires are off and we find ourselves chasing things that we were never supposed to pursue. Homosexual relationships are one of those things. It stands contrary to God's moral will for mankind. But we don't have to stand as enemies of God. Through Jesus Christ, there is hope for new life. There is hope for salvation.

Becket's story portrays this truth with such kindness and from an intimate understanding of your life experiences, thoughts, and desires. May you see his love for you, God's love for you, as you watch it.
