In this message, Pete explores how Jesus can love them through us.

When was the last time you stole away to a quiet, secluded place to pray? Chances are it’s been a while. But quiet time is essential for any thriving relationship. Jesus craved alone time with the Father, so He often withdrew from the crowds and disciples to spend time in prayer. How will your relationship with God thrive if you answer Jesus’ prompting to steal away with Him?

We have a primary calling in life to be a child of God, but we all have a secondary calling as well. This secondary calling is a personal one to be an instrument in God’s work. But how do we know what that personal calling is? It takes an invitation. In this message, Pete shares an unexpected way the invitation may arrive.

There are certain things worth dropping everything for. This was true in the life of Jesus, and it’s true in our lives as well. Jesus recognized many things as important, but He also knew what was most important. If Christ is dwelling within us, then His priorities will be our priorities. In this message, Pete shares where Jesus placed His focus, and where we should, too.

The forces of evil are real, and they can petrify us. But a simple truth can give us hope: In the presence of a greater strength, bullies become wimps. In the presence of Jesus, demons become weak at the knees. Only in the power of Jesus, then, do we have strength and authority to face the enemy.

Why are we here? What is our purpose? Jesus in us defines our calling, our being, and our mission on earth. In this message, Pete shares how Jesus demonstrated purpose in His own life, and how He creates purpose in us too.
