Follow the KingThe Tree of Israel: Christmas TreesJesus once cursed a fig tree—and it wasn’t because He was having a bad day. It was a living picture of a deeper story.
Throughout Scripture, Israel is described as God’s vine—planted, cared for, and called to bear fruit for the world. But when the vine failed, God didn’t abandon the story.
At Christmas, the promised Branch arrived—and that Branch grew into the True Vine.
And Jesus, the Vine, invites His followers to be branches—abiding in Him, allowing His life to flow to us, and producing fruit for othe...

It’s the story of a God who refused to give up on Eden.
In Eden, we lost access to the Tree of Life.
In the temple, we only saw glimpses of it.
At the Cross, the true Tree of Life hung on a tree of death.
And in the New Creation, the Tree of Life stands at the center of the world Jesus will restore.

2025-12-0743 minFollow the KingGod Blessed Who?!?!Ever considered how the story of Jacob and Esau points us toward Advent?
The older should have been chosen—but wasn’t.
The younger should have been rejected—but wasn’t.
The betrayed should have been bitter—but wasn’t.
The offended should have struck back—but instead embraced.
It’s the gospel in miniature: the God who blesses where we least expect it, the God who forgives what we cannot fix, and the God who reconciles what we’ve broken.
This is the story that leads us to Christmas.

2025-11-3032 minFollow the KingThe Choice is YoursSome people talk as if there are two versions of following Jesus:
👉 Christians
👉 Disciples
But Jesus never separated the two. He simply offered a choice.
"Whoever wants to save their life..." or "Whoever wants to be My disciple—which will cost you your life."
The choice is yours.
2025-11-2341 minFollow the KingWho is Jesus?“Who do you say Jesus is?”
In Mark 8, Peter declares Jesus is the Messiah—the King. Not just a teacher. Not a mascot. Not a safety net. The One who conquers sin, death, and hell.
This week we looked at why that confession still changes everything— because when we see Jesus clearly as King, it reshapes how we live, how we love, and who we become.

2025-11-0231 minFollow the KingJesus is More Than EnoughToday we saw how even the numbers preach the gospel:
5 + 2 = 12 (Jesus feeds the 5,000 — Israel satisfied).
7 → 7 with 4,000 (Jesus feeds the Gentiles — the nations satisfied).
From Israel to the nations, King Jesus is more than enough to fill what we empty and meet every need. 🍞✝️
And just like the blind man who finally saw clearly, may we see Jesus for who He truly is — the Bread of Life for all people.

Every Christian should aim to qualify. 💡
Every Christian must keep their eyes on Jesus. 👀✝️
Leadership in the church is never about recognition—it’s about helping others remember Jesus, the greatest Servant of all.

This week’s message reminds us that the greatest gift isn’t the absence of storms but the presence of the I AM.
When the disciples faced the wind and waves, they discovered something greater than calm seas: they discovered the glory of Jesus.

2025-08-2438 minFollow the KingJesus Revealed💭 How often do we put God in a box?
📖 In Nazareth, the people who knew Jesus best rejected Him. They couldn’t see the King—only the kid.
The Spirit still wants to reveal more of Jesus to us. But too often, instead of listening, we dismiss, criticize, or react harshly when Jesus is spoken of in ways that stretch our comfort.
What if the very thing we’re stumbling over is the very thing that could lead us deeper into knowing Him? What if Jesus has more to offer than you think He does?

Zechariah saw Israel’s high priest standing before God, not in spotless white—but in filthy garments. That’s how God sees every one of us apart from Jesus.
But here’s the good news: Jesus took our filthy garments, wore them to the cross, and gave us His robe of righteousness in exchange.
Now, because of His sacrifice, we can stand clean in the presence of God. 🙌

Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus from a tree, but Jesus wanted Zacchaeus—and the religious leaders—to see Him from the Old Testament: as Yahweh in the flesh.
This week’s message uncovers rich theology, personal challenge, and an invitation to be seen, called, and changed by Jesus—just like Zacchaeus.

• Fear gives way to peace
• Brokenness is met with compassion
• And what feels too late… is never too late for Jesus.
So maybe the invitation from Jesus today isn’t just to believe once—but to keep walking in belief. 🕊️

Her healing came when her faith moved her—through the crowd, to the hem of His garment.
And Jesus didn’t say, “Your reach healed you.” He said: “Your faith has made you whole.”

This week, we explored one of the most sobering—and most misunderstood—statements in Scripture. 📖
But when we keep Jesus’ words in context, clarity rises above confusion.
Jesus was speaking directly to religious leaders who had credited the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan. ⚠️ Their hard-hearted rejection of the Messiah would bring judgment—not on individuals seeking grace—but on the entire old covenant system, which fell in 70 AD. 🏛🔥

Jesus spent time with His Father—not because He needed healing, forgiveness, or more stuff—but because He loved being in the presence of the One He loved.
2025-03-0934 minFollow the KingThe Kingdom Breaking ThroughEver wonder what the Kingdom of God looks like? Just look at Jesus' ministry: outsiders become insiders, the imprisoned are set free, and the sick find healing. Jesus taught His disciples to pray for the Kingdom to come to earth as it is in heaven.
While the kingdom will not come in its fullness until Jesus returns, believers can experience Kingdom breakthroughs as we live surrendered to and empowered by the Spirit of Jesus.

And yet, Jesus chose them anyway.

The Bible is an amazingly supernatural book that reveals the redeeming work of Jesus to be so much greater than what we initially believe! The pages of Scripture reveal His mission to reclaim the disinherited nations, to defeat Satan and the rebellious sons of God, to bind the dragon from deceiving the nations, and to send out disciples with the message that a new kingdom is here!
2024-11-0346 minFollow the KingThe Perfect SonThe parable of the prodigal son is about a perfect Father with both a rebellious and a self-righteous son.

Spiritual blindness can creep in when we see God's works but miss who He truly is.
Let's remember that true blessing comes from living within His design and trusting Him fully.
