In our last study, our small group took some time to reflect on an important story that sets the stage for what would happen on Palm Sunday. In John's gospel, we see that the triumphal entry is immediately preceded by the stories of the resurrection of Lazarus, and the anointing of Jesus' feet by Lazarus' sister, Mary. Unlike the other gospel accounts, John emphasizes the importance of Jesus' raising of Lazarus on the events that would follow (see John 12:9-19). The crowds begin to gather at Bethany before he even enters the city on account of his miracle with Lazarus. Little did the people know or understand then, that what Jesus had done in Lazarus was only a preview into the promise of our own redemption!

As we approach Holy Week, we will take time to reflect on the suffering of Christ on our behalf; we will find hope in the passover lamb that died in our place, and ponder the weight of our sin for which Jesus suffered. But in the midst of that reflection, may we remember that the same Jesus who is the Lamb of God also has power over death!

When life doesn’t turn out the way we expect—or even when everything seems fine but still feels empty—where do we turn?

This is a new study for an ongoing group that meets Wednesdays 6:40 - 8:00 PM in Room 124. This class is hosted/led by Pastor Zach and others in the group.

Men, 2nd Wednesday is Coming! || 4/8/26 || 6:30 – 7:35 AM || The Springs Fireside Room (122)
There's no shortage of messages in our world about what it means to be a leader. Scripture has much to say this as well, with Jesus providing us with the ultimate teaching & example of true, godly leadership. Coming up on April 8th at our next Men's 2nd Wednesday gathering we'll unpack the biblical blueprint of leading with humility. David Baza will lead our time of learning in how we as men can follow Christ's example of servant leadership in our homes, workplaces, church, and community. Men, we invite you to join us at 6:30 AM in the Fireside Room (122) on April 8th — coffee provided!
