1. The Ultimate Privilege

Zach Nash begins a new series on the character of Jesus and teaches about our ultimate privilege, knowing Jesus and being known by Him. He teaches on Matthew 7:21-23 to show us God is not interested in our works, but rather a deep and personal relationship. He emphasizes the importance for every Christian to understand this-because no matter what circumstance they are in, they will be able to hear from God.

2. The Shepherd, The Valley, The Restoration

Derek Mack unpacks Psalm 23 by explaining the role of a shepherd and how it practically applies to us. He explains the difference between Jesus as our leader-which is the theme commonly brought up with this psalm-and Jesus as our shepherd. He gives modern day context to the language used in the psalm and how that ultimately points to Jesus as our Savior.

3. Jesus, the Identity Giver

01hr 22m

Carlton Bates speaks on God as the center of our identity. He breaks down Genesis 1-3 to highlight our original struggle with identity, Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. He explains that knowledge does not equal power, and that our identity comes from beholding the One who made us-not by being independent. He encourages us to let go of any way we have defined our identity based on performance or works, and receive our identity from our Creator.
