Does following Jesus lead to comfort & favor in this life?

In this message from Matthew 10, Jesus prepares His disciples for the reality of the sent life: opposition, pressure, and the cost of being identified with Him. If you’ve ever wondered why faithfulness can feel hard; why standing for truth creates tension; this passage gives clarity—and hope.

Because the sent life is also the shared life.

In this message from Gospel of Matthew 10:1–15, we see that following Jesus isn’t just about what happens to you; it’s about what happens through you. Before the disciples are sent, they are called to be with Jesus. And from that relationship flows everything: their authority, their message, their dependence, and their responsibility.

This sermon walks through four defining marks of the sent life:

• Called to Him

• Sent with His message

• Dependent on His provision

• Responsible for their response

If you’ve ever felt like being “sent” is for someone else; pastors, missionaries, or “professional” Christians; this message will reframe that entirely. The sent life isn’t a special calling for a few… it’s normal Christianity.

You are not just going to work.

You are not just in your neighborhood.

You are sent.

What if Christianity isn’t about improving your life—but replacing it altogether?

In this Easter message, we explore the powerful truth of Romans 6:4: that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, your old life isn’t fixed...it’s buried. And in its place, God offers something entirely new.

This isn’t behavior modification. It’s resurrection.

Whether you feel stuck in cycles you can’t break, weighed down by guilt and shame, or simply going through the motions, this message is an invitation: you don’t need a better version of your life—you need a new one. And in Jesus, that life is available right now.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why your old life must be buried, not improved
• How new life is raised by God’s power, not your effort
• What it actually means to walk in “newness of life”

Jesus is alive. And because He is alive…you can be too.
