What do you do when God has called you one thing and you still feel like another? At the burning bush, Moses asked, "Who am I?" and God never changed his name. He answered with his own: "I am who I am."

In this message from Exodus 3, John 1, Matthew 16 and Ruth 1, we look at the power of a name. Jesus called Simon "Peter" while he was still swaying like a reed, and he still called him Peter knowing he would deny him. We look at why Naomi was wrong to rename herself Mara, why a season of depression doesn't get to define you, and why God never asks you to become something without first being everything you're not. Then we trace the names of God, from Jehovah Jireh to Jehovah Rapha, back to the burning bush, where the holiest name spoken tells Moses, "Whatever you're not, I am." Discover how every one of those names is wrapped up in the name of Jesus, which means "Yahweh saves."

What would it look like to live a life that is still being talked about for all of eternity? Mary took a jar of perfume worth a year's wages, broke it at Jesus' feet, and held nothing back, and her story made it into all four Gospels.

In this message from John 12 and Matthew 26, we look at what it costs to live a life that matters. God's love is unconditional, but His plans for your life are conditional, and too many people want the impact without the devotion, treating Jesus like a genie in a bottle or a butler instead of breaking the jar at His feet. We look at why the rich young ruler missed his window, why people will tell you that you're wasting your life, and why you were called to multiply, not just survive. Discover what it looks like to stop playing church, stop worrying about what people think, and go all in, because a perfect Sunday morning is not the finish line, it's the starting line.

Surrounded, Not Defeated: What to Do When You Feel Surrounded | Luke Simpson | Revelation Church STL

Ever felt surrounded by loss, loneliness, anxiety, or a problem with no way out? Elisha's servant woke up to an army surrounding the city, but the prophet prayed one prayer: "Lord, open his eyes so that he may see."

In this message from 2 Kings 6 and Ephesians 1, we look at the difference between what you can see and what is actually real. The enemy never sells you the cage, he sells you the cheese, but no weapon formed against you will prosper. We look at why too many Christians surrender to an enemy that is already defeated, why praying timid, safe prayers is not the same as faith, and how "fake piety" keeps us from asking the God of the impossible to do the impossible. Discover what it looks like to stop staring at the size of your problems and start seeing the size of your God, because there is more with you than there is with them.
