  <description>&lt;p&gt;Missions, Rome, and the End (Kinda) | To the Ends of The Earth&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Acts 28, Paul finally reaches Rome after years of obedience, hardship, and waiting. Even while under house arrest, he continues to welcome people, share the gospel, and teach about Jesus without hesitation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This message focuses on what it means to live on mission in everyday life. It challenges us to use our influence, recognize open doors, and move beyond simply knowing about Jesus to inviting others to follow Him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Insights:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A godly reputation creates opportunities to influence others for Christ.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Every season of life holds opportunities to share the gospel, even when circumstances are not ideal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Living on mission requires intentional awareness of the people and moments around us.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sharing truth should include both clear explanation and a direct invitation to respond.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The mission of the gospel continues through each believer and is not limited to a specific time or place.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Scripture Focus: &lt;a href="https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.28.ESV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Acts 28&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Passion Week People | Palm Sunday&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this Palm Sunday message from Mark 11, we look at the different groups of people surrounding Jesus during Passion Week. Some wanted something from Him. Some trusted themselves more than Him. Some showed up but stayed distant. And a few fully surrendered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This message challenges us to honestly evaluate our relationship with Jesus and consider what it means to follow Him as Lord, not just in words but in our lives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Insights:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Following Jesus for what He can do leads to unstable faith that shifts with circumstances.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trusting personal understanding over God’s truth keeps people from fully surrendering.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Religious activity without surrender can create distance instead of relationship.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;True discipleship begins with recognizing Jesus as Lord, not just helper.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Honest self-evaluation is necessary to move from casual belief to full commitment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Scripture Focus: &lt;a href="https://www.bible.com/bible/59/MRK.11.ESV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Mark 11:1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
