In Week 4 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Hosanna Wong unpacks one of Jesus’ most direct and challenging questions from :

“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?” (Luke 6:46)

This isn’t a question about what we say we believe. It’s a question about how we live.

In this message, we explore:

• The Gap Between Words and Actions
• It’s easy to claim faith—but Jesus is after something deeper than outward expression.
• What It Really Means for Jesus to Be Lord
• If Jesus is truly Lord, it doesn’t just change what we say—it transforms how we live.
• Why Obedience Is an Expression of Love
• Jesus makes it clear: loving Him isn’t just about devotion—it’s about following His ways.
• How to Recognize Real Faith by Its Fruit
• Our lives produce something. The question is—does it reflect the character of Jesus?
• Building a Life That Withstands Storms
• A life rooted in hearing and doing Jesus’ words creates a foundation that holds when life gets hard.

This message is an invitation to move beyond surface-level faith into a real, lived-out relationship with Jesus—one that is visible, transformative, and rooted deep.

Because when Jesus is truly Lord…

it changes how you live, what your life produces, and how you stand when storms come.

In Week 3 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Pastor James Grogan unpacks a powerful and personal question from Jesus in :

“You do not want to leave too, do you?” (John 6:67)

After a crowd of followers walked away from Jesus because His teaching felt too difficult, too offensive, or too demanding, Jesus turns to His closest disciples and asks them to decide: Are you staying… or leaving too?

In this message, we explore:

• Why People Walk Away from Jesus
• Not because His teaching is confusing—but because it challenges our expectations, control, and comfort.
• Four “Hard Truths” That Still Push People Away Today
• Jesus won’t be used for our personal or political agendas
• He offers more than temporary, physical solutions—He meets deeper spiritual needs
• He is bigger than our limited understanding
• He calls for full surrender, not partial commitment
• The Danger of Shallow Faith
• Like the parable of the seed, faith without roots can’t last when life gets hard.
• The Invitation to Stay
• When everything feels uncertain, Peter responds with clarity:
• “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

This message is a call to examine your faith—not just whether you believe in Jesus, but whether you’re truly following Him.

Because at some point, we all have to answer the question:

Will I keep walking with Jesus… even when it’s hard?

In Week 2 of our series Questions Jesus Asked, Mike Meeks explores one of the most important questions Jesus ever asked His disciples: “Who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Surrounded by competing voices, beliefs, and identities in Caesarea Philippi, Jesus challenged His followers to move beyond public opinion and answer for themselves.

That question still confronts us today.

In this message, we unpack:

• Why Everyone Has an Opinion About Jesus
• Culture often reduces Jesus to a teacher, philosopher, or moral example—but the Gospel claims something far greater.
• When the Question Becomes Personal
• Jesus moves the conversation from what others think to what you believe.
• Peter’s Defining Moment of Faith
• “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Recognizing who Jesus is changes everything.
• Why Surrender Is So Hard
• Following Jesus means letting Him define truth, identity, and direction in our lives.
• How Our Identity Is Found in Christ
• When we settle the question of who Jesus is, we begin to discover who we are—loved, known, and created with purpose.

Faith isn’t just agreeing with facts about Jesus. It’s responding to His invitation to follow Him.

Because the way you answer Jesus’ question—“Who do you say I am?”—shapes your identity, your purpose, and your future.

In Week 1 of our new series Questions Jesus Asked, Pastor James Grogan explores one of the very first questions Jesus asked His followers: “What are you seeking?” (John 1:38). Throughout the Gospels, Jesus asked powerful questions—not because He didn’t know the answers, but because His questions reveal what’s happening in our hearts.

In this message, we discover how the questions Jesus asked help us reflect on our desires, identity, decisions, obedience, surrender, and hope. These questions invite us to move beyond surface-level faith and examine what we truly want and where we’re searching for it.

In this message, we explore:

• The Different Types of Questions Jesus Asked
• Factual questions, interpretive questions, and deeper evaluative questions that reveal the condition of our hearts.
• The Question That Starts It All: “What Are You Seeking?”
• Jesus invites us to identify the desires that are shaping our lives.
• How to Recognize What You’re Really Pursuing
• Your time, money, conversations, and attention often reveal what your heart is seeking.
• Why What You’re Searching For Is Actually Searching For You
• Jesus invites us not just to answers, but into relationship.
• The Invitation of Jesus: “Come and See”
• Jesus doesn’t just give explanations—He gives invitations to experience life with Him.

Like the treasure hidden in a field or a pearl of great value, the kingdom of God is worth everything. When we discover Jesus for who He truly is, it reshapes what we seek and what we value most.

In Week 5 of Uncomplicate It, Pastor James Grogan tackles one of the most discouraging spiritual roadblocks: the silence of God. Many people assume something is wrong with their faith when they can’t clearly “hear” God—but Jesus actually taught that His followers can know His voice and walk with Him.

This message helps us move from frustration and confusion to confidence in how God leads us.

In this message, we unpack:

• What God’s Voice Is NOT
• It’s not just a feeling, not random mystical signs, and not a rigid blueprint for your life.
• What God’s Voice IS
• A relationship of staying close to Jesus—like sheep following a shepherd or branches abiding in a vine.
• Why God’s Will Is More Like a Game Plan Than a Blueprint
• God often gives freedom to choose within His boundaries, guiding us through relationship rather than fear of “missing it.”
• Practical Ways to Discern God’s Direction
• Follow what God has already made clear in Scripture.
• Listen to the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
• Ask: Does this sound like Jesus?
• Seek wise counsel from trusted believers.
• The Shortcut Through Silence
• Instead of constantly trying to hear God, arrange your life to regularly be with God—through His Word, prayer, and community. Clarity grows out of closeness.

When we focus on being with God, we begin to recognize His voice, trust His leadership, and walk forward with peace.

In Week 4 of Uncomplicate It, Hosanna Wong addresses one of the most common roadblocks to faith: distraction. Many of us sit down to pray only to find our minds racing, our phones buzzing, and our attention pulled in a dozen directions. But what if distraction isn’t the end of connection with God… what if it’s an invitation?

In this message, we discover how Jesus’ words in John 15 call us to abide—to remain connected to Him in a relationship that is intimate, organic, and lived out in real life, not in a perfectly quiet moment.

In this message, we unpack:

• Why Distraction Doesn’t Disqualify You (God meets you right where your mind wanders.)
• How to Invite God Into Your Real Life, Not Escape It (You don’t have to start over—start from where you are.)
• The Role of Structure (Like a trellis supports a vine, simple rhythms can help support your connection to Jesus.)
• The Freedom of Searching and Surrendering (Some seasons need consistency, others flexibility—but both can lead to flourishing.)
• Letting Go of What Weighs Us Down (Pruning isn’t about producing more fruit, but better fruit.)

You don’t need the perfect plan, the perfect focus, or the perfect schedule to be close to God. You just need to stay connected to the Source.

In Week 3 of Uncomplicate It, Pastor James Grogan walks through the powerful story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4 — a moment where Jesus steps directly into someone’s shame, not to condemn her, but to heal her and change her future. 

This message reminds us that the barriers we believe disqualify us from God are often the very places where His grace is most at work.

In this message, we explore:

• The Roadblocks Shame Creates (Feeling like we’re the wrong person, in the wrong place, with too messy a past) 

• Jesus’ Invitation to Living Water (A relationship with God that isn’t based on performance or perfection) 

• Why We Don’t Have to Hide (Jesus meets us fully knowing our story and still offers grace) 

• How Healing Happens in the Light (Confession, prayer, and community open the door to freedom) 

Just like the Samaritan woman, when we allow Jesus to meet us in our shame, it not only changes us — it becomes a testimony that can change others too.

In Week 2 of Uncomplicate It, Hosanna Wong tackles one of the most common roadblocks to connecting with God: busyness. Many of us feel like we need a different season of life before we can truly experience God — less chaos, more margin, fewer responsibilities. But what if God wants to meet you right in the middle of your real life?

Grounded in Jesus’ words in John 15 about the vine and the branches, this message invites us to stop separating our “God life” from our “real life.” Instead, we’re encouraged to learn how to remain connected to Jesus in the very season we’re in — even when that season feels full, exhausting, or overwhelming.

In this message, you’ll explore:

• The Roadblock of Busyness (Why we feel like we don’t have “enough time” for God)
• Your Season Is Your Shortcut (God meets you where you actually are, not where you wish you were)
• Bringing God Into Your Real Life (Loving God by obeying Him and loving people in your everyday rhythms)
• Your Specifics Are Your Shortcut (God wired you uniquely — your personality, season, and details matter)

Through Scripture, personal stories, and seven different ways people are wired to worship, this message shows that connecting with God doesn’t require a different life — just a different perspective in the one you’re already living.

Connecting with God can feel complicated. Many of us carry an unspoken picture of what a “perfect” Christ-follower looks like, and when our real lives don’t match that image, we’re left feeling behind, discouraged, or disconnected.

In Week 1 of our new series, Uncomplicate It, Hosanna Wong invites us to name the roadblocks that often stand between us and God and discover how Jesus came to remove them. Through Scripture, stories, and real conversations with people around the world, we’re reminded that faith was never meant to be rigid, exhausting, or performative.

In this message, we explore:

• The Most Common Roadblocks to God (Busyness, distractions, grief, shame, silence, and expectations)
• The Simple Invitation of Jesus (A real relationship, not religious striving)
• What It Means to “Remain” in Christ (Living connected to Jesus in the middle of real life)
• Why God Calls Us to Be Whole, Not Perfect (Releasing expectations that don’t come from Him)

Jesus didn’t come to add more pressure or perfectionism to our lives. He came to uncomplicate faith and invite us into an intimate, life-giving relationship with Him. This message sets the foundation for a series that helps us move from striving to flourishing.

Beginning with the powerful story of Honi the Circle Maker, we’re reminded that bold, persistent prayer has always been a catalyst for God’s movement among His people. From there, we look to Acts 2 and the example of the first church to discover what we should still be praying for today.

In this message, we’re challenged to pray that our church would:

• Keep Scripture and Prayer the Priority (Staying focused on what matters most)
• Believe God for Miracles (Asking boldly while trusting God’s goodness and sovereignty)
• Love and Serve One Another Well (Sharing burdens and living as true community)
• Worship Faithfully and Stay Connected (Not treating God like a lifeboat, but a way of life)
• Help More People Find and Follow Jesus (Believing our best days are still ahead)

As we pray for our church, we’re invited to “draw circles” around our city, our neighbors, and the people we love, trusting God to move in ways only He can. The prayers of the past built what we experience today, and God is still answering bold prayers for what’s next.

Using Deuteronomy 6, we’re reminded that God cares deeply about what happens in our homes and that prayer is meant to shape everyday life, not just church moments. As we learn to pray first, God invites us to create homes where faith is formed, values are passed on, and spiritual renewal can take root.

In this message, we’ll explore how prayer helps us:

• Break Off the Wrong Things (Like spiritual complacency and unhealthy influences)
• Build Up the Right Things (A healthy picture of who God is and what it means to follow Him)
• Make Faith Part of Everyday Life (Not just Sundays, but daily rhythms and conversations)
• Create Homes of Prayer and Peace (Where the next generation can encounter God)

Whether your family looks traditional, blended, single-parent, or anything in between, God has a plan to bring healing, strength, and purpose to your home as we learn to pray together and pray intentionally.

Through their stories, we discover that waiting doesn’t have to be passive, competitive, or hopeless. Instead, God invites us to wait with faith, obedience, and expectation for how He might surprise us next.

In this message, we’ll explore how waiting in anticipation often means:

• Releasing Our Expectations (Trusting God’s timeline over our own)
• Obeying God in the Waiting (Faithfulness before clarity)
• Letting Others’ Miracles Stir Our Faith (Someone else’s miracle is not your competition)
• Worshiping Before the Breakthrough (Praising God even before the story feels finished)

Elizabeth and Mary remind us that God is at work in different ways, on different timelines, for the same redemptive purpose. As we wait, we’re invited to look around with faith and ask, What might God surprise me with next?

In this message, we’ll discover how true joy:

• Begins at the Bottom (God meets the humble, the overlooked, and the unlikely)
• Transforms Fear (God’s light moves us from fear to faith and hope)
• Has a Name (Joy is grounded in who Jesus is — our Savior, Shepherd, and Lamb)
• Moves Us Upward and Outward (Joy is received, then shared with others)

Through the shepherds’ response to the angels, we see that the Good News of Great Joy is for everyone — and it invites each of us to come and see and then go and tell.

In this message, we’ll explore how peaceful waiting often looks like:

• Trust (Choosing to rely on God even when we can’t see the full story)
• Active Faith (Stepping forward in obedience, even before the path is clear)
• Eyes Open to God’s Presence (Letting Christ’s peace rule in our hearts)
• Joy (Discovering the eternal hope Jesus brings — our Prince of Peace)

Through Simeon’s example, we’ll learn how God meets us in our waiting, forms us through it, and fills us with a peace the world cannot give.

We could view money through the lens of the Prosperity Gospel- driven by greed, the Prosperity Gospel- driven by guilt, or we could see it through the lens of the Generosity Gospel- driven by grace. This is how Jesus taught us to view money. In today's message we will discover that generosity is:

- A response to God's grace and generosity to us.

- An act of worship and trust.

- A practice and daily posture. 

We don't want to view money any other way. We want to live the way Jesus calls us to live!

Here's 4 ways we can practice that freedom:

- Practice gratitude. 

- Learn contentment in Christ.

- Fight envy with generosity. 

- Redirect your desires through worship. 

True contentment comes from trusting God to meet our deepest needs and being satisfied with what He provides. When we do that, we will start to live the way free people were created to live!
