Ruth Febriana joins us with a message from Genesis 38, titled “Scandalous People Around the Table.” When you look at Jesus' family tree, you might expect to find heroes. Instead, you find scandal. A deceptive widow. A selfish son. A hypocritical father. A family marked by broken choices and messy relationships. So why would God choose this family to bring the Savior into the world?

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Numbers 13:26-14:11, titled “Greater Than the Giant Before You.” We join the Israelites as they stand at the edge of the Promised Land.

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Exodus 9:13-35, titled “Greater Than Any Ruler Above You.” We see that no earthly ruler and no false god can compare with the Lord.

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from John 1:43-51, titled “Appreciating the Greatness of Jesus of Nazareth.” When Nathanael first hears that the promised Messiah is from Nazareth, he isn't convinced. But everything changes when Jesus reveals that He already knows Nathanael, even recalling a private moment beneath the fig tree. In that encounter, doubt gives way to faith.
Pastor Paul Jorden joins us with a message from Luke 14:25-27, titled “What Discipleship Looks Like.” For Father's Day, we do a double take when we hear Jesus declare that unless we hate our father and mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters, even ourselves, we cannot be His disciple. Really? Who can possibly meet that standard? What does Jesus mean, and what does He expect from His followers? Want to learn more about Connections Church?

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Genesis 18 and 21, titled “Greater Than Any Barrenness Inside You.” When Abraham and Sarah believed their opportunity for a child had long passed, God fulfilled His promise in a surprising and joyful way. Through the birth of Isaac, we are reminded that God's greatness is not only seen in His power, but also in His ability to bring life, hope and even laughter where we least expect it.

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Psalm 104, titled “Let's Glory in Our Great God!.” In Psalm 104, David marvels at God as Creator, Sustainer and Provider. From the beauty of creation to the care God gives every living thing, the psalm reminds us that the wonders of the world point beyond themselves to the One who made them. Creation is great, but the Creator is greater still. Want to learn more about Connections Church? Visit our website: https://myconnections.church/

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Luke 22:14–20 and Luke 22:31–34, titled “Peter Encounters Grace.” At the Last Supper, Peter promises unwavering loyalty to Jesus, but Jesus knows Peter will soon deny Him.
