Throughout scripture we see Jesus coming close and allowing others a closeness to him. He grieved with people, sat at tables, visited homes, and spoke directly to the heart. He also allowed others to see him weep, to see his prayers to his father, and to see him sleeping in a storm. He came close and he continues to come close. Through this message we explore what life might look like if we bravely allow Christ and others to live in close proximity.

Rather than a one-time event, Easter provides practical hope amidst life's overwhelming challenges today. In this message, T.D. Davis (co-lead pastor) shares about the role of faith in navigating dark seasons, drawing parallels between Jesus’ journey through Holy Week and the messy adversities we face today. Ultimately, Easter highlights the transformative power of trust in Good News amid hardship and overwhelming darkness; that hope and renewal are always within reach.

The spiritual practice of celebration concludes our Lent with Intent series. Celebration is intentionally recognizing God's goodness and responding with joy and gratitude, highlighting the resurrection of Jesus as the ultimate cause for celebration. We can practice celebration through gratitude, encouragement, and worship, emphasizing its transformative power in cultivating endurance, character, and hope amidst life's challenges.

While meditation is a more rational exercise of the mind, contemplation is a more relational exercise of the heart. But how often do we discipline ourselves to sit and just “be” with Jesus? In Matthew 12, the messiness of life disrupts Jesus’ earthly ministry, yet He responds from a place of secure purpose, grounded patience, and paradoxical power. In the same way Jesus habitually recentered Himself upon His Heavenly Father, we have an opportunity to recenter our life upon our core and secure identity found in Christ for the “gray” journey ahead.
