If you feel humiliated or misunderstood, or alone, you need to hear this. -- Jesus knows you. Perfectly. If you feel ashamed, or like you need to hide, or like no one really cares about you, you need to hear this. -- Jesus loves you. Perfectly. If you feel hopeless, or afraid of the future, or like your life is over, you need to hear this -- Jesus can lead you. Perfectly.

"Why does Jesus matter?" Because He changes your story. 

"Our first step is to remind ourselves the kind of God we are meeting with… If you want to know God, you have to spend time with him…"

A quick glimpse of 275+ Junior High students worship Jesus and a reminder that "God promises can be trusted."

God doesn't answer all of our questions -- I don't know why -- but He does give us opportunities to step out and claim everyday who He made us to be. God says, "Come as you are and I will be with you." Gideon too came out of hiding and God used him in amazing ways. YOU -- YOU -- YOU have so much to offer.

"Remember there are no unimportant roles in God's Kingdom."
