This message explores the reality that many of us live in invisible “prisons”—fear, shame, addiction, self-reliance, or emotional wounds—that shape how we think, act, and relate to God. In these places of struggle, we often respond in one of two ways: spiral in despair or strive in our own strength. But the deeper invitation is to ask, “Who is God?” and learn to walk by faith, not by sight. God is not just a concept or theology—He’s a Father, Comforter, and Provider who meets us in our need. He is Compassion. Trusting Him means anchoring our lives not in our feelings or circumstances, but in His unchanging character. True freedom begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and instead experience God’s presence, provision, and compassion right where we are.

Jesus once said that He was the “way, the truth, and the life.” In this second week of our series titled, “Who Is Jesus?”, we dive a little deeper, considering how “Jesus Is The Way.” Are you more likely to choose His way or your own way? Are you too busy to follow Him when He offers? Are you susceptible to acting based on fear rather than faith? The Scriptures say that apart from Jesus we can do nothing. Will you allow Him to lead and experience truly abundant living?

As we continue pressing into City Renewal, we are beginning a summer series that explores the question, “Who Is Jesus?” This week we will examine an excerpt from Mark 8, where we see that the people in Jesus’ city had similar reactions to Him as the people in our city today. And we’ll address the most important question of all, “Who is Jesus to you?” How we answer this question has deep implications for us, for our city, and for our eternity. Who is Jesus to you? And how will you respond to Him?

Comfort is killing our courage. The book of Nehemiah describes a massive transition that he went through from the comfort of the palace into the thick of the challenges of rebuilding. Nehemiah left the complacent yet lush culture of being an assistant to the King of Persia and went to a desolate city in ruins, all because he wept over what God put in his heart. The church finds itself in a similar season of shedding security to rise up and build our city. Renewal of our city comes out of the burden of revival in our hearts. We must leave the comforts that have led us to be dormant and stoke the fire of God again to hear His agenda for our city. We are called to use both of our hands—battling with one hand, building with the other. Let’s gather together and discover how we can lay bricks and pick up our swords for the good of our city.

During this Baptism Weekend we’re looking at Acts 8, which tells the story of an unexpected encounter between Philip, an Ethiopian diplomat, and the Holy Spirit. To this point in the diplomat’s life, he’s never been welcomed into the inner circles of worship. But during this life-changing chariot ride, he learns that there is nothing about him that disqualifies him from relationship with Jesus, and after he commits himself to Jesus, he is joyfully baptized as an outward declaration of an inward transformation. This is one of the beautiful things about baptism: the only requirement for water baptism is faith in Jesus.

In the fast-paced, calendar-driven world in which we live, it is imperative that Jesus’ followers intentionally leverage creative ways and means to engage our cities. And sometimes the creativity required is simply a “reset”—a “back to the basics” mentality that boldly declares that there is no law against loving our families, neighbors, co-workers, employers, and employees well with the consistent, clear-eyed vision that this is what Jesus calls us to do. Soon enough, we’ll be able to cast the seed of the Gospel; but cultivating the hard soil of the soul with prayer and love is a necessary first step.

Revival is in the air. It’s not only being talked about, we are seeing it across the nation. A desire and genuine hunger for the things of God in people’s lives are being stirred up. This revival that’s coming, which we are seeing glimpses of, is unlike what we have encountered before. It’s not characterized by mass gatherings but by decentralized, scattered pockets showing up in cities, not stadiums. Jesus had a strategy for carrying revival–discipleship. The question is, where will this revival take place? The answer? In cities, not auditoriums. This isn’t a new plan, but the original plan restored. This week, we will talk about where revival is taking place, so we don’t miss this next great move of God.

This week, Pastor Ben Goodman emphasizes the critical importance of understanding our identity and purpose and that God’s answers to the fundamental questions of “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” are paramount. As we walk through Scripture, examining God’s relationship with humanity, we see that God created us for good works, owns us, and that He is absolutely singular: an all-wise God who provides guidance through His word. And the most amazing thing of all? He loves us as a father. This is transformational. Will you step into that love and follow Him?
