What does it mean to truly encounter Jesus? In this message, George explores how real encounters go beyond knowledge, they transform us. Through the story of Zacchaeus, we’re reminded that no amount of success can fill the soul and that humility, hunger and openness lead to life-changing moments with God. When Jesus meets you where you are, everything changes.

What if the wilderness seasons in our lives aren’t signs that God has left us, but actually places where He does some of His deepest work? In this message, Sean reflects on the meaning of the number 40 in the Bible and looks at Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness in Matthew 4. Through Jesus’ time of testing, we see how the wilderness can become a place where faith is shaped, trust is deepened and we learn to depend on God. During Lent, we’re invited to slow down, fast and listen to discover that even in silence, hunger and waiting, God’s Word is enough. The wilderness may feel empty, but it’s often where faith quietly grows and trust in God takes root.

What if the most powerful work God is doing in your life is the work you can’t see yet?

In Mark 4:26–32, Jesus compares the kingdom of God to seeds growing quietly beneath the soil. While the world looks for dramatic change, God often works in slow, hidden ways, turning small beginnings into something far greater than we imagine.

In this episode of Lent: Living in Tension, we explore how to trust God in the waiting and what it means to live between the “already” and the “not yet” of God’s kingdom.
