Easter Sunday 2023 - Jon Tyson
This Easter Sunday, Pastor Jon preached on how the resurrection of Jesus proves that death is not the end. Ultimately, the resurrection is the most credible, surprising explanation for what happened to Jesus and the resulting spread of Christianity, and it requires a response from us. The Christian life is about readjusting our entire selves around Jesus. Despite the rise and fall of empires and ideologies, the story of Jesus is still, and always will be, breathtakingly credible and satisfying.

God Comes Where He's Wanted 2.0: The Lord's Prayer - Jon Tyson
This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued the "God Comes Where He's Wanted 2.0" series through teaching on the Lord's Prayer - our "secret weapon" in the faith. Over time, Western Christianity has trivialized the Lord's Prayer, diminishing its true value and power in our lives. Now more than ever, we need to reclaim the power of the Lord's Prayer because it teaches us how to pray, orients our discipleship, frees us from the vanity and futility of self, and unleashes defiant hope.
