God gives promises, but we live most of our lives in the gap between promise and fulfillment. In our Count the Stars sermon series, we’ll walk through the life of Abraham and discover how God forms a resilient, trusting faith, not just through waiting and uncertainty, but also through doubt, missteps, and failure. If you find yourself in between promise and fulfillment, this series will help you grow a deeper faith and learn to trust God right where you are. This Sunday, Lead Pastor Ryan will kick off our series with his sermon, “A Dangerous Departure” from Genesis 11:27–12:9.

In our Easter message from Luke 24:13-35, Return to Resurrection Hope, we’ll look at walking in the daily hope of eternal life. On the Road to Emmaus, Jesus’ disciples head back to Jerusalem after learning He had risen from the dead. This encounter with the risen Christ literally changes the direction of their lives. This Easter at Emmanuel Faith, come and discover how coming into contact with Jesus will impact your life, too.

THE CRUX: Rediscovering the Power of the Cross The cross stands at the center of history and the center of our faith, but many of us live with it at the edges of our lives. What if we stepped back into the power of the cross? As we journey toward Easter, we’ll explore how Jesus absorbs our shame, triumphs over the powers that oppress us, and forms us into a new kind of people. Come and rediscover how to live from a victory that is already yours through Jesus. In this final message of our series, The Crux, Lead Pastor Ryan Paulson will lead us through 1 Peter 2:21-25 in his sermon, “The Way of the Cross.”
