Matthew 21 recounts Jesus’ dramatic actions in the Jewish temple, followed by a peculiar narrative where He curses a fig tree.

Join Dustin Renz as he unpacks the depths of these two accounts in this week’s message.

There are many people who profess to follow Christ whose lifestyles contradict their faith. Rather than submit to God’s law, their own desires define their daily life. This is why a significant percentage of professing Christians are bound by sexual addiction. In today’s message, Pure Life Ministries founder, Steve Gallagher, explains God’s solution to this epidemic: a true conversion and full surrender to God.

The Pathway to Kingdom Greatness
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Jesus’ disciples had a misconception of what defines greatness in God’s Heavenly Kingdom. In their minds, position and power characterized Kingdom greatness, just like they do on earth. This is a trap 21st Century Christians can easily fall into as well. So what does it mean to be great in the Kingdom of God? Dustin Renz answers that question out of Mark 10 in this week’s message.
