The women arrived at the tomb expecting death… but encountered life. The disciples wrestled with doubt… but were met with peace. And through it all, Jesus revealed that His resurrection wasn’t just an event—it was an invitation.

Jesus didn’t come just to fix temporary problems. He came to bring the ultimate solution to our deepest need—to save, restore, and reconcile us to God. He wasn’t the King they expected…but He was the King they needed.

We were honored to welcome a special guest speaker from Family Life Network. Family Life Network has been reaching people with the hope of Jesus through Christian radio and ministry, and we’re grateful to partner in that mission.

As Jesus nears Jerusalem, the crowds expect the Kingdom of God to appear immediately. In response, Jesus tells the Parable of the Ten Minas. The parable reminds us that while we are saved by grace through faith, we are also created for good works that God prepared in advance for us to do. Our salvation is a gift, but our lives are meant to reflect faithful obedience to the King. The parable challenges us with an important question: Are we faithfully using what God has entrusted to us?

What does persistent prayer really say about our faith? In this message, we walk through Jesus’ parable of The Persistent Widow, discovering that persistence in prayer is not about wearing God down—it’s about trusting who He is. Jesus reminds us that we are called to pray always and not give up, even when answers seem delayed.
