What if the greatest wisdom doesn’t look wise at all? In a world that chases control, achievement, and “having the right answers,” the message of the cross can seem backwards — even foolish. But in 1 Corinthians 1, Paul shows us that the cross is actually the clearest picture of God’s wisdom and power.

What happens when a church starts drifting from Jesus at the center, and begins building around personalities, preferences, and factions? In this message from 1 Corinthians 1, we walk through Paul’s urgent call for unity in the church and why the gospel creates an expectation of love among believers.

You’ll also hear a timely warning about celebrity Christian culture: how “following” leaders can subtly turn into misdirected worship, and why discernment, humility, and accountability matter more than ever.

Death used to feel final, but Easter declares something different: the cross reveals the depth of God’s love, and the resurrection reveals the power of God’s love. In Matthew 27–28, we see ordinary people courageously identifying with Jesus, even when it was costly, and we see the empty tomb that changed history forever.

Have you ever given someone a “last-minute” gift—something that technically works, but doesn’t reflect what they’re truly worth? In Matthew 26, we see a powerful contrast: a calculated plan to take Jesus’ life—and an act of extravagant worship that holds nothing back.

In this message, we wrestle with a question that exposes our hearts: What is Jesus worth to you?
