This passage is a beautiful reminder that failure isn’t the end of the story. Peter had really messed up, but Jesus meets him with grace, restores him, and gives him a new purpose. It’s the same with us when we fail, Jesus doesn’t give up on us. He calls us to follow Him, even when it’s costly, and to disciple the people He’s placed around us. We’re reminded not to get caught up in comparing our path with someone else’s. Jesus simply says, “You follow me.” Jesus is still writing His story in the world today and He’s chosen to do some of that work through you.

Sometimes we give our all and still feel like the nets are coming up empty. But Jesus shows up, invites us to listen again, and calls us to cast the net where we hadn’t thought to try. When we follow his lead—especially in unfamiliar ways—we experience power, joy, and real impact. And in the end, he’s not just after the tasks… he’s after relationship with us.

Are you living the life you were made for—or just the life you stumbled into? So many of us are searching for purpose, but we’re looking in the wrong place: within ourselves. What if the key to joy, freedom, and direction isn’t found in chasing your own truth—but in responding to God’s calling? This talk will help you rediscover what that calling looks like, and how to start walking in it.

Thomas and the disciples had reason to doubt or to be skeptical of a risen Messiah; there had been a few failed ones before Jesus. This prompted Thomas, despite the witness of his companions, to ask for evidence absolutely no one could give him except Jesus himself. Have you ever been in a position where someone, whether due to skepticism, doubt, or past experience, asked you questions about your faith and about Jesus you couldn't answer? Do you have questions and doubts that you wrestle with? What do we do when we don't have an answer? This passage shows us what we can do, what only Jesus can do, and the opportunity we have in the midst of those who doubt.

The resurrection of Jesus changes everything- how we understand the world, God and our own lives.  When we look deeply at the truth of the resurrection of Jesus we can see that it transforms our lives in various ways, while also sending us out to tell the world about the Good News of the risen Jesus.

Have you ever found yourself in a moment that completely knocked the wind out of you—grieving, confused, and unsure where to turn next? You’re not alone. This talk explores how Jesus meets us in those moments—and why he never leaves us where he finds us. If you’ve ever wondered how to move forward when life doesn’t make sense, this is for you.

Changing the world starts with changing our hearts—and that’s where following Jesus comes in. The real work of transformation begins when we turn away from our old ways, choose to live with Him at the center, and surrender our personal ambitions to His mission. Jesus invites us to follow Him into new life, a life that’s focused on loving God and loving others. When we choose to follow Him, we become part of His mission to bring healing and hope to the world.

Ever feel like faith should come faster or make more sense by now? You’re not alone. For a lot of us, belief doesn’t show up in a single moment—it rises slowly, like the sun breaking through fog. If you're in the middle of questions or waiting for clarity, this talk might be exactly what you need.

Jesus was humiliated and stripped of everything, yet lifted up as a King for the whole world to see. Even as he suffered, he showed love, fulfilled Scripture, and finished the work only he could do. Blood and water flowed from his side—the beginning of new life. And as he died, hearts were drawn to believe—including some who had followed him in secret until that very moment.

As we remember Jesus' sacrifice and the life-changing power of following Him, this season calls us to share His love, hope, and grace with others. Ever since Jesus first commissioned His disciples, the church has grown through faithful witness. Today, we continue that mission—partnering with the Holy Spirit to share our faith with joy. Every believer is called to live in this way, drawing others to Christ, by being empowered by the Spirit and strengthened through prayer. It is with wisdom and grace that we share the gospel in ways that meet people where they are.
