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
This four-week series calls our church to move from attending to belonging—from showing up on Sundays to building a spiritual home together. In Heart for the House, we look at how the early church in Acts lived with deep devotion: learning together, sharing life, praying with power, and meeting needs in their community. Each week, we’ll unpack what it means to be fully engaged in the life of the church—through small groups, serving, giving, and reaching others. It’s a vision for what happens when we give our hearts to God’s house—when the church becomes more than a building we go to, but a family we grow with and a mission we live for.

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.
