Pastor Russ is teaching an series entitled: Walking Toward the Cross: The Road to Rescue • Grace Came for You

 

Before there was an empty tomb, there was a determined Savior.

 

Walking Toward the Cross traces the deliberate steps of Jesus from resolve to resurrection.  This is not a story of tragedy.  It is a story of rescue.  When Jesus “set His face toward Jerusalem,” He wasn’t reacting to events — He was advancing toward redemption.

 

Each week, we will walk the road:

From decision to covenant

From agony to obedience

From expectation to surrender

From darkness to declaration

From death to resurrection

 

Along the way, we will see clearly:

Why sin required rescue

Why religion could not fix it

Why only a Savior could redeem it

Why grace cannot be earned

Why the resurrection proves it worked

 

This series is both invitation and formation.  If you are exploring faith, this is the road where grace meets you.  If you are following Christ, this is the road that reshapes you.

 

Rescue was not abstract.  It was intentional, It was costly,  It was finished, And it came for you.

Pastor Russ is teaching an series entitled: ABIDE - The Call to Stay Connected

 

In a world that constantly tells us to try harder, achieve more, and prove ourselves, Jesus offers a different invitation: “Abide in Me.”

 

This series explores what it truly means to live a fruitful Christian life — not through striving, but through connection.   Rooted in Gospel of John 15 and Galatians 5, ABIDE calls us to move from performance-based faith to Spirit-led relationship.

 

Fruitfulness in the Christian life is not produced by effort, but by connection.  We don’t bear fruit by trying harder — we bear fruit by abiding deeper.

 

This series is reflective, formative, and Spirit-led — designed to gently dismantle performance pressure while calling us into deeper intimacy with Jesus.

 

If you’ve ever felt spiritually tired… stuck… dry… or like you’re “doing” Christianity without joy — this series is for you.
