Pastor Jeff Manion concludes our Taking Jesus Seriously series by exploring Jesus's radical call to love our enemies. We discover that love isn't about feelings but about choosing kind behavior toward those who aren't kind to us. This message challenges us to pray for those who hurt us and live out family resemblance to God by extending mercy to the undeserving, just as our Father causes his rain to fall on both the righteous and unrighteous.

Guest Pastor Ryan Kwon continues our "Taking Jesus Seriously" series by examining how we can fall into religious routine without genuine relationship with Christ. Through Jesus's encounters with the Pharisees, we discover how easy it is to emphasize ritual over relationship, tradition over truth, and self-righteousness over heart transformation. This message challenges us to move beyond going through the motions of faith to experiencing the joy, rest and new life that Jesus offers as our Bridegroom and Lord. We're invited to examine our hearts and ask whether we're truly following Jesus or merely adhering to religious rules that keep us distant from the God who wants to be close to us.

Pastor Manion continues our Taking Jesus Seriously sermon series by exploring Jesus's revolutionary teaching on anger. We discover that Jesus calls his followers to a new way of life marked by love, forgiveness and reconciliation rather than anger and contempt. We learn practical steps for identifying the root causes of our anger and the urgent priority Jesus places on making things right in our relationships. This message challenges us to move beyond mere rule-following to heart transformation, showing us how to defuse anger and pursue reconciliation as members of God's new community.
