Ever thought you’d never betray Jesus? Peter thought the same thing. In this episode, we dive into one of the heaviest passages in Scripture—Judas’s betrayal, Peter’s denial, and the Last Supper. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: we’re all Judas. We all betray Jesus for way less than 30 pieces of silver.

From understanding the true meaning of the Lord’s Supper to wrestling with why Jesus’s blood wasn’t shed in vain, this message will challenge how you see your own faithfulness to Christ. We also unpack particular redemption, God’s sovereignty, and the security we have as believers.

In This Episode:

* The real reason Judas betrayed Jesus (and why we do it too)

* What the Last Supper actually means (it’s not transubstantiation)

* Why Peter denied Jesus four times, not three

* How small betrayals lead to bigger ones

* The security of Jesus’s finished work on the cross

What if the life you’re chasing isn’t the life God called you to?

In this message from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, we dive into why God doesn’t need more influencers, politicians, or people climbing the social ladder. He needs regular people who are content in their calling—whether you’re a shepherd, a plumber, a teacher, or a parent.

The world tells you happiness is one promotion away, one follower count away, one paycheck away. But if billionaires like Elon Musk and Bill Gates haven’t found it, what makes us think we will? True freedom isn’t found in climbing higher—it’s found in Christ, who already seated you in the highest place.

Key Takeaways:

* Your social status doesn’t matter to God—your obedience does

* Stop making yourself a slave to money, success, or approval

* The shepherds went back to shepherding after seeing Jesus—and that’s beautiful

* You were bought with a price—live like it

What does it look like to worship Jesus when everyone around you thinks you’re wasting your time?

In Matthew 26:1-13, we see two opposite responses to Jesus. Religious leaders plot His death in secret, thinking they’re in control. But Jesus knows exactly when He’ll die—on Passover, according to the Father’s plan. Then there’s Mary, who pours out expensive perfume on Jesus in extravagant worship. The disciples call it wasteful. Jesus calls it beautiful.

Mary’s name means three things: rebellious, bitter, and beloved. And if we’re going to follow Christ, we need to be like Mary—rebelling against evil, making people bitter with our worship, and knowing we’re deeply loved by God.

In this episode, we break down:

* Why Jesus was in control even when His enemies thought they had the upper hand

* What Mary’s extravagant worship teaches us about loving Jesus

* How to keep worshiping even when people around you don’t understand

* The connection between knowing you’re beloved and living boldly for Christ

If you’re facing opposition, persecution, or people who think your faith is “too much,” this message is for you.
