In this message, NextGen Pastor Ben Lakin explores the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ triumphal entry and what it reveals about the kind of King He truly is—bold in identity yet humble in approach, determined to go to the cross for the people He loves. The story confronts a personal question for every one of us: Who is sitting on the throne of your life?
About
In a world where politics often feels like the ultimate battleground, this series reminds us that our true allegiance lies with Jesus, the Lion of Judah. Follow the Lion dives deep into what it means to prioritize the Kingdom of God above political affiliations. While we may live in a world divided by party lines, this series emphasizes that we don’t follow the elephant or the donkey—we follow the Lion. Jesus, the King of Kings, calls us to live out His Kingdom values of peace, justice, and mercy, no matter the political climate. Over the course of three messages, we’ll explore how to be peacemakers in a partisan world, how to align our values with the Kingdom, and what it looks like to keep Jesus at the center of our political engagement. Join us as we discover how to remain faithful to our true King in the chaos of politics.

The Waiting Room
Life is full of waiting rooms.
In this message, we walk through one of the most powerful stories in the Gospel of John and discover a truth we desperately need in our own waiting seasons: God is always right on time. His timing may not be our timing, and the right time is not always right now, but His silence does not mean His absence. Even in grief, disappointment, and unanswered prayer, Jesus is still working.
