In a world that values human wisdom, achievement, and understanding, God often works in ways that seem foolish to us. Through the cross of Christ, God reveals a wisdom greater than our own. This message challenges us to trust God’s plan, embrace the gospel, and find salvation through Jesus Christ.

“Weekend of Hate” examines why God hates sin while loving His creation. Sin brings death, separation from God, suffering, and brokenness. Yet God provides a way of redemption through Jesus Christ, who paid sin’s penalty. Through repentance, accountability, worship, prayer, Scripture, and gratitude, believers can pursue holiness and restored fellowship with God.

God’s covenant promises to Israel reveal His unchanging faithfulness throughout history. From Abraham to Christ, Scripture shows that God keeps His Word despite human failure. As believers grafted into His family through Jesus, we are called to pray for Israel, reject antisemitism, and lovingly point all people to the Messiah.

Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus reveals the heart of John 3:16: a love so deep that God gave His Son to rescue a broken world. Salvation cannot be earned; it is a gift of grace offered to all who believe. Through Christ, condemnation is replaced with hope, rebirth, and everlasting life.

At the cross, two thieves reveal humanity’s choice: rejection or repentance. One mocked Jesus; the other simply pleaded, “Remember me.” That cry secured eternity—not through works, but grace. Like the centurion who declared, “Surely He was the Son of God,” we too must decide: Who is Jesus to us?

Jesus met a broken woman at a well and a seeking eunuch on a desert road—two vastly different people, both pursued by God. Their openness led to transformation. When we listen, serve, and share the good news like Jesus and Philip, lives change. The harvest is ready—will you go?
