Follow the Lion

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.

From the Series

A Right-Sized View of Jesus

Most of us spend our time trying to fix what’s visible—our relationships, finances, anxiety, habits, and circumstances. But according to Proverbs, every area of life is built on a foundation. And if that foundation is off, everything else eventually begins to crack.

In the first message of our Rules for Life series, Pastor Ryan opens the book of Proverbs and explores one of the most important truths in all of Scripture: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Through practical teaching, personal stories, and biblical insight, you’ll discover what it means to have a right-sized view of Jesus and how seeing Him clearly changes every part of life.

This is Not Where I Want to Be

Have you ever looked at your life, your faith, your relationships, or your purpose and thought, “This is not where I want to be”?

Spiritual drift rarely happens all at once. It happens gradually. One small compromise. One missed opportunity. One distracted season at a time. Before long, we find ourselves wondering how we got so far from where God intended us to be.

How to Find Joy When Life is Hard

In this message from our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Lito Solorio opens James 1:2-6 and explores one of the Bible’s most challenging commands: “Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds.” Through personal stories, biblical teaching, and practical encouragement, Lito shows how followers of Jesus can find joy, perseverance, and wisdom even in life’s hardest seasons.
