The Jesus I Never Knew
from Onechurch Seattle
It's one thing to hear about Jesus, but it's another to encounter Him. This Sunday, we're joined by Pastor Jon Laurenzo as he brings a powerful message about the Jesus we never knew. In Luke 8, we see Jesus walking through a crowd when He encounters two people desperately in need of a miracle. We learn that their desperation and faith draw Jesus to them, and that same invitation is extended to us. But how often do we hesitate to bring our deepest needs to God, thinking they're too big, too messy, or simply not worth His time? Pastor Jon reminds us that when we come to God in our desperation, He doesn't just heal surface-level problems. He restores us completely. Our faith must remain rooted in who Jesus truly is, not merely in what we hope He'll do. When we're consumed by rumors about Jesus instead of actually knowing Him, our faith becomes fragile and unstable, especially in moments of uncertainty. This world often portrays a version of Jesus that feels distant and uninterested in our struggles. But the truth is, the suffering He endured on the cross was for the joy of being with you. This week, take time to reflect on your relationship with Jesus. Are you chasing after rumors of who He is, or are you walking with the Savior you actually know?
