Because He Chose | Pastor Luke Taylor | The Road To Easter

As we begin the journey toward Easter, this powerful message from Pastor Luke Taylor challenges one of the most common modern misunderstandings of the cross: Jesus was not a victim—He chose the cross.

In “Because He Chose,” we explore Luke 9:51 and the moment Jesus “set His face toward Jerusalem.” This sermon unpacks the truth that Christ’s suffering was not accidental or forced—but a deliberate act of love, obedience, and divine purpose.

In a culture shaped by victimhood, this message reframes the gospel:

👉 Jesus was never overpowered—He was always in control.

👉 The cross was not done to Him—it was chosen by Him.

👉 His death and resurrection reveal not weakness, but victory.

🔥 In this sermon, you’ll discover:

- Why Jesus’ journey to the cross was intentional

- The deeper meaning of “He set His face” (Luke 9:51)

- Why seeing Jesus as a victim misses the gospel

- How the cross was part of God’s plan before creation

- What Jesus’ sacrifice means for your life today

- How to respond with faith, surrender, and obedience

This message will lead you into a place of awe, gratitude, and deeper understanding of the gospel as we approach Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday

The Faith Of Hannah - Lisa Lazell

What can the story of Hannah in the Bible teach us about faith, prayer, and trusting God in difficult seasons?

In this powerful message, Lisa explores the story of Hannah from First Book of Samuel and reveals how God works through our deepest pain to bring transformation, purpose, and peace. Hannah came to God carrying grief, longing, and unanswered prayers—but she left His presence changed before her miracle ever arrived.

This sermon looks beyond Hannah simply becoming the mother of Samuel the Prophet and instead focuses on what God did in her heart while she waited. Through honest prayer, surrender, and worship, Hannah discovered that true peace comes not from immediate answers, but from encountering the presence of God.

If you are struggling with waiting, grief, unanswered prayer, or trusting God’s timing, this message will encourage you to bring your heart honestly before Him and discover the peace that comes from surrender.

In this sermon you’ll learn:

- The deeper meaning behind the faith of Hannah

- How to pray honestly during seasons of grief and waiting

- Why God sometimes changes us before He changes our circumstances

- The difference between what we own and what God has entrusted to us

- How surrender aligns our lives with God’s greater purpose

Whether you’re facing loss, longing for breakthrough, or learning to trust God in uncertainty, this message will help you rediscover hope, faith, and peace in His presence.
