This Sunday is the first message in our new series Resurrection People: Living the New Life. This week we’ll be looking at what it means to be “Raised in Christ” because of the resurrection. In a world that constantly pulls our attention downward, God calls us to lift our eyes—and it changes everything about how we live.
This Palm Sunday, we come to one of the most powerful—and unexpected—statements Jesus ever spoke. As He hung on the cross, surrounded by injustice, betrayal, and unimaginable pain, Jesus prayed these words: “Father, forgive them…”. In a moment when most would call for judgment, Jesus chose mercy. In a moment filled with hatred, He spoke forgiveness. This Sunday’s message will remind us that no sin is beyond God’s grace, no past is too broken to be redeemed and forgiveness is not just something we receive—it’s something we’re called to live. Palm Sunday is the turning point. It’s where celebration gives way to sacrifice… and where we begin to see just how far Jesus was willing to go to rescue us.
We continue our journey through the Red Letter Revolution as we look at one of the most powerful prayers Jesus ever prayed: “Not my will, but yours be done.” (Luke 22:39–46). These words were spoken in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before the cross. In that moment of deep struggle, Jesus showed us what true faith looks like—not escaping difficulty, but trusting God completely. His prayer reminds us that surrender is not defeat; it is the doorway to God’s greater purpose. All of us face moments when life does not unfold the way we hoped. This Sunday we’ll discover how Jesus’ prayer can guide us through those moments and help us trust God even when the path is hard.
We continue our Red Letter Revolution series by looking at one of the most tender and powerful invitations Jesus ever gave: “Let the little children come to me… for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Mark 10:14) In this message we will see how Jesus welcomed those the world often overlooked and why childlike trust is at the heart of genuine faith. It’s a beautiful reminder that the kingdom of God is not earned through achievement—it is received with humble hearts.
