We all have distractions that can keep us from what matters most, but Jesus invites us to a different way of living. In Luke 10, Mary shows us what it looks like to seek first the Kingdom, set down our distractions, and sit at the feet of Jesus. Whether you tend to be driven like Martha or laid-back like Mary, Jesus invites you to keep coming back to His presence. Because at the feet of Jesus, you’ll find all that you need.

 

Title: Sit with Jesus

Series: Seek First

Text: Luke 10:38-42

Speaker: Josh Branham

Why does godly leadership matter? Peter shows us what faithful leadership looks like and warns us against leaders who are driven by obligation, money, or power, pointing us instead to Jesus, the Good Shepherd and the ultimate leader worth following. We’ll learn how to resist the devil, trust God through suffering, and stand firm in the grace of God. As we wrap up our journey through 1 Peter, we’re reminded that Scripture isn’t just meant to inform us—it’s meant to transform us as we follow Jesus together.

 

Title: Chief Shepherd

Text: 1 Peter 5:1-14

Speaker: Josh Branham

Following Jesus has never come with a promise of comfort or safety. Peter wrote to Christians who were being misunderstood, rejected, and persecuted because they bore the name of Christ, and his encouragement was simple: don’t be surprised, don’t be ashamed, and don’t give up. In this message, we look at five escalating stages of persecution and the practices that prepare us to remain faithful through each one. Whatever following Jesus may cost us, we can trust our faithful Creator, keep doing good, and keep following — no turning back.
