Dear SABC Family,

This last line in the Lord’s Prayer may destroy you. If you pray it and mean it, everything about you changes. It’s the most dangerous, most subversive, most you-crushing statement you can utter. And I warn you not to play around withit.

For thine is the kingdom

And the power

And the glory

Forever.

This means that all other loyalties and allegiances become as if they are nothing. Loyalties to family, self, nation, belief, tribe, privilege,. . . they all disappear. Friends, I am not going to lie. This sermon is a sword that will cut deeply and could set one against the other. But that is exactly what Jesus says will happen in Matthew 10 and nothing less can be when we say that only He gets the allegiance, power, and glory. I hope you take a look at the end of the prayer in Matthew 6:13 and come ready to give up yourself and hear from Him.

Dear Family,

What if your expectations for Jesus are too small?

This Sunday, we step into the tension of Palm Sunday—a crowd full of hope, waving branches, shouting “Hosanna!”… and yet missing the kind of King standing right in front of them. We all carry expectations—of God, of life, of each other—but what happens when Jesus refuses to meet them the way we imagined?

Join us as we explore how Jesus doesn’t just meet expectations—He overturns them.

Before you come, take a few minutes to read Matthew 21:8–11. Come ready to wrestle with this question: Which Jesus are you expecting—and which one is actually coming for you?

Pastor Jace

Dear St. Andrews Family,

The Lord’s Prayer contains a line we often rush past:

“Deliver us from evil.”

But what if Jesus meant it more seriously than werealize? What if the world is more contested than we think?

We’ll talk about wilderness, whirlpools, andwhy the prayer Jesus gave us is actually a prayer for people living in the middle of a battle.

Come ready to wrestle with one of the most powerful—and unsettling—lines Jesus ever taught us to pray.

Pastor Jace
