What do you do with the parts of your life you wish you could undo?
In our JESUS Series, Jared Nassiff teaches from John 1:29, where John the Baptist sees Jesus and declares, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”
That one title opens up three powerful pictures of Jesus: the warrior Lamb, the sacrificial Lamb, and the Passover Lamb. From Genesis to Isaiah to Revelation, Scripture points toward a Savior whose victory comes not through brute force, but through sacrifice.
We cannot outweigh our failures with enough good deeds, religious accomplishments, or effort. God himself provides the Lamb.
Jesus takes upon himself what we could never repair on our own, and through his blood we are offered forgiveness, freedom, and life without condemnation.
Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

JESUS (Week 3) - Discovering Our Truest Identity
What is the truest thing about you?
We build our identity on performance, relationships, appearance, success, and the opinions of others, but none of those things can carry the weight of who we are. In our JESUS series, Pastor Patrick returns to Matthew 3:13–17 and Jesus’ baptism, where the Father declares His love for the Son and the Holy Spirit descends upon Him.
From there, Patrick explores the Trinity not as an abstract doctrine, but as the eternal community of love at the heart of reality, and what it means for those in Christ to be adopted into God’s family.
Your deepest identity is not what you accomplish or what others think of you. In Christ, you are a beloved son or daughter, invited into the life and love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

JESUS (Week 2) - The Baptism of Jesus
What does baptism have to do with rescue?
In Matthew 3, John the Baptist calls Israel to repentance, Jesus steps into the Jordan, and heaven opens over him: “This is my Son, whom I love.”
Pastor Ben traces a biblical pattern of God bringing his people through the waters, from Noah to the Red Sea to the Jordan, and shows how Jesus enters those waters with us. This message explores repentance, baptism, renouncing the old life, and what it means to identify with Jesus in his death and resurrection.
Baptism is not magic water or a way to earn salvation. It is a response of faith: burying the old self, rising to new life, and declaring that our allegiance belongs to Jesus.
When we cannot rescue ourselves, Jesus comes into the water with us, and he does not let go.
