Jesus gives us a better perspective. In Mark 9:33–41, Jesus redefines greatness as serving others, calls His followers to welcome children, and teaches them to pursue unity rooted in Him.

In this message from the Glory and Grit series, Pastor Ryan Kimmel invites us to consider what it means to put others first, live with humility, and focus on what matters most. A faithful life isn’t built by chasing status or winning every argument; it’s shaped by following Jesus in everyday acts of service.

Where are you serving? What might need to change in your calendar so you can put first things first?

Jesus didn’t come to earth without a plan. From the very beginning, His mission was clear: to save His people from their sins. As Jesus turns His attention toward Jerusalem in Mark 9:30–32, He tells his disciples that he will be delivered into the hands of men, killed, and rise again three days later. What looked like defeat was always part of God’s plan for victory.

In this message from our Glory and Grit series, Pastor Ryan explores why the gospel is not our plan, but God’s plan, and why Jesus alone could accomplish what we never could. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus defeated sin and death and made a way for us to be saved.

But seeing Christ fully means responding faithfully. If the gospel is the mission Jesus gave His life for, it must become the mission we give our lives to. Are you living with a faith that puts first things first? Are you helping the gospel go forth through the way you live, speak, and support the work of the church?

Jesus is powerful, and He is personal. But are we actively pursuing him, or have we put our faith on autopilot?

In Mark 9:14–29, Jesus encounters a desperate father, a suffering child, and disciples who have forgotten where their strength comes from. Through this powerful passage, we’re reminded that Jesus meets us in our desperation, strengthens us in our weakness, and calls us to a faith that is actively pursued, not simply assumed.

In this message from our Glory and Grit series, Pastor Ryan Kimmel explores the power of Jesus, the importance of prayer, and what it means to trust Christ even when our faith feels weak. Because the strength of our faith isn’t found in how much we believe, but in who we believe.

When the world falls apart, hold on to Jesus. He is powerful over sin, death, and the forces of evil, and he is personal in the way he meets us, lifts us up, and brings us back to God.
