This week, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck preaches on Luke 20:27–38, where Jesus meets the Sadducees—those who say there is no resurrection.

When the kingdom of God breaks in, it turns everything upside down. In Luke 18, Jesus tells a story about a Pharisee and a tax collector — and once again, the Gospel reveals a great reversal: those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. In this message, Rev. Cody Turner reflects on a second kind of re…

Pastor Torres preaches from Isaiah 58, showing that true religion is not empty ritual but compassion, justice, and delight in the Lord.
