What does it mean to be truly transformed by God's love? In Pastor Bogdan's powerful message from John 13, he unveils how Jesus's radical grace operates contrary to worldly expectations. Drawing from Peter's story of denial and restoration, he illustrates how Christ's love precedes our performance rather than depending on it. Through vivid examples—from the prodigal son's celebration to his personal experience with dessert before dinner—Pastor Bogdan demonstrates that God's "reckless" grace offers restoration before we prove ourselves worthy. The sermon's heart-stirring truth reveals that while we are indeed weaker than we imagine, Jesus is far more faithful than we dare hope. His love doesn't wait for our perfection but pursues us even in our failures, guaranteeing restoration before we fall. This message calls believers to stop striving to be their own heroes and instead trust in Christ's unfailing love that already knows our failures yet chooses to love us completely.

What if true power lies not in climbing higher, but in kneeling lower? In John 13, Pastor Bogdan reveals how Jesus, hours before His crucifixion, shockingly washed His disciples' feet—even those who would soon betray Him. This countercultural message challenges our performance-driven culture: real authority isn't shown by position, but by how low we're willing to go in serving others. Through vivid examples from dishwashing to modern social media habits, Pastor Bogdan illustrates that Christianity isn't about good people getting better, but about experiencing Christ's transformative grace. Watch this compelling message to discover how serving others, especially those who've hurt us, might be the unexpected key to finding true joy and purpose.

In a world chasing transcendence through festivals and experiences, Pastor Bogdan reveals a profound truth from John 12: authentic transformation comes not from spectacle, but from encountering Jesus.

Ready for lasting change? The path forward isn't found in chasing experiences, but in planting ourselves deeply in Christ. Watch now to discover how surrendering control leads to true freedom.

Have you ever felt like the dreams you once had for your life seem to lie in ruins, overshadowed by distractions and discouragement? In this engaging sermon, Pastor Matt Krachunis presents the powerful message from Haggai. The Israelites, just like many of us today, faced opposition and apathy, leading them to abandon the rebuilding of their temple. Yet, God called them back to focus on what truly matters: putting Him first. Pastor Matt asks, "Where does God fit on my priority list?" He passionately illustrates that faithfulness, even in scarcity, is an act of worship. The call to action is clear: commit to building God's church with urgency and purpose, knowing that our small, unseen acts of faith can yield grand results. Will you consider your ways and choose to invest in God's kingdom?

What do we do when the miraculous happens, yet the world around us turns hostile? In this stirring message from Pastor Bogdan, we delve into John 11, where the miraculous resurrection of Lazarus evokes both belief and murderous scheming. The Pharisees’ polarized reaction to this undeniable miracle reveals a profound truth: witnessing the extraordinary does not guarantee faith. The Pastor emphasizes that true belief requires a heart-level trust, a surrender to Jesus, rather than mere intellectual agreement. In a powerful reminder that God’s redemptive story unfolds even amidst human failures, Pastor Bogdan draws parallels between our own fears of losing control and the Sanhedrin's desperate attempts to maintain power.

Ultimately, he urged believers to recognize their identity in Christ, belonging not to a hotel they temporarily occupy, but to a home that Jesus purchased with his life.

In this sermon, Dr Roudkovski focuses on three significant invitations that God extends to individuals: the invitation to the Great Supper, the Marriage Supper, and the Lord's Supper.

In this sermon, Dr. Jake Roudkovski addresses whether the Gospel of Jesus and the word of God have failed. He examines the parable of the sower in Mark chapter 4 to explain different responses to the Gospel. The Gospel has not failed; it is the stubborn, shallow, and strangled hearts that prevent it from having an impact.
Believers are encouraged to continue sharing the Gospel and teaching the word of God, trusting that God can change hearts. The sermon ends with a call to gratitude, prayer for others, and repentance and trust in Christ.

Seeding the clouds is being intentional with what you invest. Think long term, and think eternity. What you do in this life matters, not just for today or tomorrow, but it matters for eternity. Some things you invest your time and energy into will not go far. But when you invest in heavenly things, things for God, these are seeds that will reap a harvest for years, decades, and generations to come.
You may not always see the harvest yourself, but that does not mean it is not a good seed to plant. Seeding the clouds means planting what someone else may harvest and benefit from.

Winning the day is not something that is only done by accomplishing big goals or serving with fanfare in big ways. We have a tendency to want to wait to give financially when we have more money or wait to serve when we have more time, yet we neglect to realize that there are still needs that can be met with the little bit of money we do have, and the little bit of time we can spare.
Being faithful to present needs opens the door to bigger and better things down the road when we will be given the chance to be faithful in much bigger things. But it all starts with the small sacrifices, the small dedication, and the small responsibilities.
Winning the day is accomplished by being faithful to the smaller things at first, meeting the needs of today instead of sitting around waiting for the needs of tomorrow. That's what it means to fly the kite, start being faithful to the small things, today.

However, if we use these obstacles, these bad things that have happened to us, to our advantage, they can become leverage rather than downfall.

If you are not satisfied with your story, or if you do not find fulfillment in the way you have lived your life up to this point, you are not alone. We all write a story about the lives that we have built, but it is not necessarily the story God has for us. When we find discontentment or dissatisfaction in our lives, it is usually due to being unhappy with the way our story is unfolding.
The good news, however, is that God wants to rewrite your story. God wants to flip the script of your life and give you a new name—and a new story.

The virgin birth of Jesus Christ is an important doctrine of the Christian church, and belief in it is essential for Christians.

The Scriptures record that when the wise men arrived where Jesus was, they had brought three types of gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Each of these gifts has a symbolic meaning attached to it which gives us insight into who Jesus is: our ultimate Prophet, Priest, and King. Through this message and our looking at gifts, we want to reframe how we look at gifts so that every single time you either get a gift or give a gift, you would think of the greatest gift that God gave us, which is, namely, his son, Jesus Christ, who saved us from our sin, and that gift should humble us. So, if we get this, this is why we must listen to this message, and if we don’t ignore it, we can become people like Christ, humble people who become pleasant people who become giving people.

Throughout Scripture, there are signs that point to Jesus as the Christ. In preparation for Christmas, this series will explore four such signs: the star of Bethlehem, the manger and swaddling clothes, the gifts of the magi, and the virgin birth. The sign of Christ’s birth, the star, was foretold centuries before by a gentile, and it led the first gentiles to the young Jesus. In what ways are you following the signs and directions given to you by God?

This three-week series entitled, A Generous Life: The Beauty In Giving, takes an uplifting look at the topic of giving, showing the blessing to be found in a consciously generous life, one which imitates the generosity of God himself. Biblical generosity seeks to please God rather than seeking human reward or acclaim. A giving life is one that does not compare giftedness or resource with others; it is giving God your all, not somebody else’s, knowing that he sees what you have and will reward you at the resurrection.

You are saved to serve. In this passage, Paul encourages his readers to continue to grow in their character (vv. 1–3), in their gifts (vv. 11–12), in their knowledge of the truth (vv. 13–15), and in their love for one another (vv. 2, 15–16). Paul mentions gifts as given by the grace of God and reminds us that their purpose is to prepare God’s people to serve (vv. 7, 11–12). Yet he tells his readers to be sure to grow in their character, instructing them to walk in humility, gentleness, peace, and love (vv. 1–3). We tend to place a lot of attention on our gifts and talents, but our character deserves the most attention. When our character is ready, God will give us the grace for our gifts to grow.

In this passage, Paul explains that the turning point of history is God’s plan of redemption made evident by Jesus Christ. The mystery was built up for generations, revealed in pieces through the Law and the Prophets, and now the culmination is this, that God would send his own Son to live, die, and rise again in order to save humanity.

We forgive the inexcusable done to us because God in Christ has forgiven the inexcusable done by us. How many of us have felt the pain of strained relationships, conflicts in relationships, the disintegration of relationships, and deep down inside, all we ever actually wanted was peace and reconciliation? Christ formed in us, is the salve for that wound, a solution to the pain we feel. Forgiveness is hard. Reconciliation is hard. But we as Christians do hard things. Because we have a loving God who has equipped us for good works, therefore we walk in them. That's the whole point of us being a masterpiece in progress.

We are saved by God for good works, not by our good works. So let's walk in those good works. This is the message that Paul is conveying here to the Ephesian church and to us. By God's providence, we are studying these verses today that are talking about death, the course of this world, the prince of the power of the air, and the spirit that is not at work in the son of disobedience. Doesn't that sound like the world in which we are living right now, with all that is happening? How can we walk faithfully, doing good works, while at the same time, seeing all the bad that is happening in the world?

As Christians, how can we have assurance that we truly are saved and belong to God? When we doubt our salvation, our temptation is to look at our behavior and performance to determine whether we’re saved. However, that isn’t the direction Paul points us. Instead of looking at ourselves, Paul tells us to look back at the cross and how God loved us when we were his enemies. God saves people on the basis of their faith, not their performance, and this brings us new peace and security in our relationship with God.

The image that best illustrates Christianity isn't a ladder that you have to climb up to get to God but rather a cross where God decided to come down to us. It’s been said that the gospel, or the good news, is like an ocean, but in the sense that it is so incredibly accessible, that children can wade into it and understand it, and also the most learned theologians keep diving as deep as they can into it and they still have not found the bottom of it, meaning as much as they understand it, they still know how much more there is to understand.
That’s why there’s hope for us. This is the type of message that is going to be simple but not simplistic. Simple as in those new in Christ can understand it and deep enough for those walking with Christ for a while to once again be reminded of how truly deep the love of God for us really is.

The parable of the vineyard reveals that God brings all into his kingdom, not just the successful or those who were there first. Through the parable of the laborers, Jesus is emphasizing that in God’s kingdom, all come to him on an equal playing field. Whether you are rich or poor, have been a Christian your entire life, or have just begun the journey, there is no one who is better than another. Understanding that we get equal wages for unequal work will make us kinder, gentler, more compassionate disciples, who are being formed into the image of Christ. That's the goal. Christ formed in us.

God came to seek and save the lost. In response to God’s grace, He calls us to change and make amends for the past. Jesus approaches the crowds in Jericho, walks right through them, and goes straight to the tree Zacchaeus has climbed. He looks up at Zacchaeus (v. 5) and tells him to come down because Jesus needs to stay in his house. Who is seeking whom here? We’re told Zacchaeus is seeking Jesus, but it is very clear both from Jesus’s actions and words that Jesus is seeking out Zacchaeus.
This invitation brings Zacchaeus great joy (v. 6). Here we see that Zacchaeus is already becoming a new creation in Christ, for in response to the people grumbling about him Zacchaeus announces he will give away half his money and restore fourfold any money taken wrongfully (v. 8)! Jesus seeking out Zacchaeus is a picture of his pursuit of each of us. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this final message based on the book of Jonah, God uses a vivid object lesson to teach Jonah about his sovereignty over creation and salvation. God grows a plant to shade Jonah from the sun, then removes the plant to show his power and sovereignty over his creation (Jonah 4:6–8). Although the plant, like the fish, gladly obeys the command of God, Jonah has yet to get on board with God’s plan and desire for his creation.
The story of Jonah ends abruptly with no apparent resolution on the part of the rebellious prophet (Jonah 4:11). However, the story has now come full circle. God began by calling Jonah to preach his message to 120,000 people, and now he has returned to deal with the one. God’s great love is not only for renegade cities with thousands of lost souls but also for the heart of his one rebellious prophet. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, Pastor Bogdan helps us understand what to do when we are disappointed with God. What to do with your disappointment in God? Have you ever been disappointed with God? Have you ever been angry with God or angry at God? Those people who are in authority over us, such as parents, bosses, supervisors, leaders, and pastors, might have made decisions that impacted us, that at first, we did not understand why it is that they did what they did, but then later on, we understood that their decision was correct, even though at first, we did not understand it.
Even the best parents, the best leaders, are flawed human beings, and even in their best intentions of making good decisions, they might have made decisions that ultimately were not the wisest or the smartest. But imagine for a moment the nature of God, in that the will of God and the decisions of God, and what God allows to come to pass, is always 100% perfect and correct every single time. It does not mean that the pain that happened to you was good or that God caused it, but it can be used for your good.
Today God has lovingly put you in situations and places where your comfort and desires are pressed so that they might conform to his plan for your life. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

God uses the few simple words that Jonah speaks to bring about great repentance and salvation to an entire city. God doesn’t need your eloquence to accomplish His desires. Rather, He lovingly invites you to lend your voice to His simple message and to join Him in His work. In this third message in our Jonah series, Pastor Bogdan reminds us that God speaks to Jonah a second time commanding him to go to Nineveh and proclaim God’s message. This second chance is evidence of God’s persistent calling and his patient love. His desire to save the city of Nineveh and to use Jonah as his messenger has not changed. Humans’ disobedience doesn’t change God. His relentless love and calling change us. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

When Jonah literally hits rock bottom, God rescues him and redirects his thoughts and actions. Pastor Bogdan will remind us through this sermon on Jonah, that God can hear your prayer, save you, and create space for you to listen to and obey him, even when you are at your lowest point.

Today we are beginning our new sermon series on the Book of Jonah. This is one of the most famous books in the entire bible. Not least because of the famous story of the “Great Fish” that swallows Jonah. Jonah is the story of a reluctant prophet. A prophet that rather runs from God rather than runs to God. Written in a satirical style, Jonah is a book of reversals. It is a Book that shows that God is not always who we think He is. He is Much Better and that is Good News for Us. Our hope and prayer is that God would use the Book of Jonah as a sign that points to the Good News of the Hope we have in the Life, Death, Burial, Resurrection, and Return of Jesus.

Living at peace with governing authorities is practiced by living at peace with one another. Most leaders shy away from controversial topics in the church. Under the right circumstances, though, a dialogue within the church on a sensitive subject can help worshippers grow in faith and friendship.
Romans 13:1–7 has a storied legacy of use in political rhetoric. The very fact that such broad interpretations have been possible over the centuries suggests that we should apply this passage to any contemporary situation with a great deal of care and only in consistency with Jesus’s ethic of loving one’s neighbor as oneself (Matthew 22:39).
In this second message on The Church, Culture, and Politics, pastor Bogdan reminds us that Jesus is too liberal for conservatives and He is too conservative for liberals. Jesus is a category breaker. God always breaks our categories. That is why He is God. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

As we navigate the increasingly polarizing topic of faith and politics, we take guidance from Jesus as he himself tackled a time of religious and political upheaval. What were the politics of Jesus’ time? How did Jesus interact with governing authorities? When we have fellow believers on opposing sides of the party line, how can we maintain Christian unity? This two-week series will stimulate faith and discussion among believers of all political persuasions. In this first sermon, pastor Bogdan is speaking about what it means to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

Last week we explored the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal and today we will be concluding our series on “The Man Elijah.”
Today and we will conclude with an examination of the fallout after the conflict. Sometimes after our greatest victory with the Lord, we may find ourselves on the verge of our greatest defeat.
We will look at how an encounter with God in a surprising way helped Elijah continue on in his ministry as Prophet and how that encounter might give us insight and encouragement to continue to do the things that God has called us to do.
Today we will look at one of the most awesome and epic passages in the whole bible. The showdown between the false prophets of Baal and the prophet of God, the man, Elijah. Though this showdown was settled in the ancient past, the pattern continues today in our lives and in our culture. Many are on the fence about answering the central question of their life, "who will you worship?"
After three long years of drought, without any rain in Israel, the time had come for God to defeat the demonic spirits working through Ahab and Jezebel. In today's message, we are going to learn what the passive Ahab spirit and the controlling Jezebel spirit look like and how we can avoid falling prey to such demonic activity. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this new sermon series based on the life of the prophet Elijah, we will see and learn a model for Christian living. Elijah’s life is filled with incredible stories of faith and passion, yet he was just a regular person—a human being just like us. God’s Word encourages us that if we practice humble obedience the way Elijah did, God can use us in incredible ways, too.
The big idea in this first sermon is that God uses ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. Do you need to make an important decision? Go to the Lord and ask for wisdom. Have you received a Word from the Lord? Go to His Word. Are you in a season of being cut off and cut down? Don't surrender your season. Lean in. Has your brook dried up? Suspend reason and obey God, even if it doesn't make sense. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

Jochebed was the mother of three famous people in the Bible. She was the mother of Moses, the deliverer of Israel. She was the mother of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel. And she was the mother of Miriam, a prophetess, poet, and singer in Israel. Aaron, Moses & Miriam were all three siblings. Jochebed’s name means “honor or glory of God,” and she certainly honored God with her life and with her faith.
Moses is also a towering figure in the Bible. Acts 7:22 says this about Moses: "And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds." On this Mother’s Day, we are going to look at four things about this great Mother, the mom of Moses, and “why” she was a great mother. But this message isn't just for mothers, it's a message for all of us. Studying the life of Moses' mom and Moses, we can see that somehow and someway, often almost invisibly, God is working behind the scenes in order to bring about His best plan for your life. All that is left for you to do is to trust and obey the God that loves you and saves you. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

Where in life are you now facing a choice between God's way and the wrong way? This is exactly the predicament that Solomon finds himself in. When Solomon first ascended to Israel's throne, God appeared to him at Gibeon and gave him the opportunity of a lifetime. The king could ask for anything he wanted, and God would give it to him. Wisely, Solomon chose wisdom.
But it's not enough just to make the right choice once. Wise people, keep continuing to make wise choices, over and over and over again. Now, it was time for Solomon to choose again, and then to keep on choosing wisely and correctly. We desperately need God's wisdom to make the correct choices in our life. The good news is that if any of us lacks wisdom, the Bible calls us to ask God, and He will give it to us, generously and ungrudgingly (James 1:5).
Solomon was a smashing success in every which way. But he still had to continue to make the right decisions in order to be blessed by God. The good news of the gospel is not that you are constantly making good decisions, wise decisions, that will ultimately give you will have a much better life. The good news of the gospel is that God is still going to love you and care for you, in spite of the myriad of bad, unwise decisions, that you will continue to make.

In this message, Pastor Bogdan Kipko focuses on what wisdom looks like when it is on full display. What happens when wisdom reigns? We believe that when you get wiser, everyone wins. In this text, the occasion of Solomon’s famous demonstration of discernment is a legal case involving two prostitutes living in the same house who both claim a particular newborn child as their own. The identity of the true mother, the one who gives up her child out of love, is thus revealed to Solomon, and Solomon is revealed to his subjects as one who has wisdom from God to administer justice.
What can we personally learn from this display of wisdom and how can we also demonstrate wisdom in our own lives? Is it really possible to make wise decisions? What happens though, when we do all that we can to make the right decision, but then we experience the wrong result in our life? Where is the hope for weary, exhausted people, who can't seem to keep a consistent streak going wherein they make correct decisions? Throughout this story, we will learn that the good news of Christianity is not that you get a better life because you've made all the correct decisions but rather that you get the Author of Life, Jesus, in spite of your bad decisions.

In this brand new sermon series, based on the rise and fall of King Solomon, Pastor Bogdan takes a deep dive into the personality, prestige, power, and wisdom of King Solomon. When he ascended to the throne, he sought after God, and God gave him the opportunity to ask for whatever he wanted. Solomon humbly acknowledged his inability to rule well and unselfishly asked God for the wisdom he would need to rule God’s people justly.
What kind of a man was King Solomon? What kind of warning signs did King Solomon display that hinted at his lack of wholehearted devotion to the Lord? Did King Solomon have a fall even before his rise and then, subsequent fall? We see from King Solomon's life that in a way, we are all very much like him, with the exception of the level of wealth and power that he possessed. He was a sinful man that was desperately in need of God's grace and mercy. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Bogdan Kipko makes an indisputable case that Jesus turns graves into gardens. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, God reverses the condemnation that you once were under and offers you His salvation. This is good news for us!
People who don’t confess Christ as their Lord are more often than not worried or scared they are unable to keep that commitment – too many temptations they say, or I can’t keep myself saved. I can’t keep myself clean, I can’t keep behaving, I’m going to do too many bad things, and God is going to be very angry with me. Here is the reality: Just like you can’t save yourself from your sins, you can’t keep yourself saved either – that’s the job of Jesus!
When you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are saved and secure in Christ. You cannot lose your salvation when you've put your trust in Jesus. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

The wonderful news about Good Friday is that God took a barbaric instrument of death that was feared and reviled throughout the Roman-ruled world and transformed it into a symbol of hope and life for all who place their hope in Christ.

When one receives prescription glasses, they are only helpful if the prescription is correct. If not, your ability to see will be limited. In the same way, if we are not viewing life through Jesus’ finished work, if we aren’t viewing life through the work of Jesus, namely his life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and imminent return,—and instead through our own “goodness” or politics, or power dynamics, or race, or any other variable, —we’ll lack the ability to see “God moments” in front of us.
We also won’t be properly equipped to handle the tragedies, mishaps, misfortunes, valleys, and storms of life, as they come at us; as we all know, we live in a post-Genesis 3 world, which means that it is hard to live life, no matter who you are - so how can we strive not necessarily to have a better life but rather to be better at life?

Today we will be completing our series in the first 3 Chapters of Genesis. We will examine what it looks like when men and women possess the knowledge of good and evil.
We will learn what it looks like to move from a state of innocence to a place of knowing, and the hardship that it brings.
In this, I hope that we discover that even on our worst day God is still a Good God, who loves us, pursues us, and makes a way for us.

God saves, Satan seduces. This isn't something that has happened, this is something that always happens. In this message, Pastor Bogdan expounds on temptation: Man’s disobedience in which sin enters the world. Who does Satan speak to? The Woman. Why? Because those that are most vulnerable amongst us, are those that Satan preys on, and that is women and children.
We see from the text that the only thing that God called not good from all of His creation, is the fact that it was not good for man to be alone. Therefore, God created for him a helper, a beneficial adversary if you will. In this text, we see that there are glories that are masculine in nature and we see glories that are feminine in nature.
The glory of man is to create, protect and cultivate. The glory of woman is to listen, provide feedback, correct, and curate. An overly domineering man and a highly critical woman is the anti-gospel. A man who submits to Christ thereby having his wife submit to him is a picture of the beautiful gospel. We see the gospel, clearly from this text, in that even when we hide from God, He comes to find us, not to judge us but to save us.

God creates and Satan counterfeits. This has been the same exact story, since the dawn of creation. The more valuable something is, the more likely it is to be counterfeited.
The Bible teaches that all of mankind, irrespective of age, race, or sex are made in the image of God and are thus inherently filled with dignity value, and worth. The Bible teaches that man is called to have dominion over the earth, ruling over creation, not as a tyrant but as a steward who in the same way as God, through love, provides care over the created order.
Much like what the serpent did on the first few pages of Scripture, satan and his demons are at it again, doing the same exact thing, today in 2023. It’s a different day, but it’s the same demons, and the demonic attack of the day, is an attack on the identity of men and women and creating confusion and chaos surrounding how and what men and women identify as.
This demonic assault on God’s original plan for humanity goes directly against what the Bible says. The world says: listen to your mind, change your body. The Bible says: present your body in service to the Lord and allow God to renew your mind. The Bible is calling us to renew our minds, not to transform our bodies.

The book of Genesis tells the story of God creating and bringing order and function into the earth, the rebellion of humanity against divine authority, and God’s unfolding plan to restore creation and humankind to his original purposes through His son Jesus Christ.
We see from the first pages of Scripture that creation is closely linked with consecration. God set apart the heavens and the earth, light from darkness, water from dry land, and day from night. God's ultimate consecration was dedicating His Son Jesus as the Savior of humans. In this, we see that just like God set apart Jesus, in order to save humans, we too must live wholly consecrated lives, whereby there is not an area in our life, that isn't fully devoted to the Lord.

In this final message on the book of Ruth, Pastor Bogdan talks about how God loves to take our seemingly dire circumstances, and redeem them for our joy and His glory. We see that much of what we think is a coincidence in our life, is actually God's visible and providential hand moving in our midst. Just like Boaz was able to redeem Ruth and provide for her a better life through his financial capacity, Jesus redeems us through His sinless life, and through His death, burial, and resurrection, we receive a brand new life.

In this third chapter of Ruth, Pastor Bogdan challenges the church to take calculated risks, which is essential when you step out in faith, trusting the sovereignty of God. Throughout Scripture, it becomes clear that the greater the risk, the greater may be God’s gracious reward. From this text, we see that Ruth risks but ultimately she is trusting Boaz who trusts God whom Boaz loves very much.
The same language that is used between Ruth & Boaz is the same language that is used between God and His people. Jesus is our greater, glorious Boaz. Where is it in your life, that God is calling you to take a risk in faith for His glory? Where is it that you are called to be like Ruth, to sit and wait patiently, until you see how the matter turns out? Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this second sermon in the book of Ruth, Pastor Bogdan reminds us that Yahweh’s wings stretch over Ruth and Naomi in ways they could not have orchestrated. We must trust that Yahweh’s wings of refuge will cover us and we must seek to be a refuge to those in need. The sovereignty of our great God is clearly seen in the story of Ruth.
He guided her every step of the way to become His child and fulfill His plan for her to become an ancestor of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:5). In the same way, we have the assurance that God has a plan for each of us. Just as Naomi and Ruth trusted Him to provide for them, so should we.

Pastor Dmitry is preaching the first sermon in this new series at Forward Church entitled: Ruth: Redeeming Love. This four-week series will delve into the grace-filled redemption that marked the lives of the most unexpected protagonists: an elderly, desolate widow and her childless, foreign daughter-in-law. The lovingkindness of the Lord, ultimately shown through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is also present in the lives of Naomi and Ruth, despite the tragedy that marked their lives.
The book of Ruth is a testimony to the presence and love of God, even in times of crisis and despair. Our goal is that this little story would show you that God not only cares about the salvation of the world but that He cares about You. That He wants to give you hope today. That He is walking with you even if you don’t see him. That He will guide you with His hand of Providence. Just like God was looking to Redeem Ruth, He is looking to Redeem You. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, pastor Bogdan Kipko reminds us that the desire for peace is something God has planted within all of our hearts, but there is much more to peace than an absence of conflict. Through the gospel, we learn about God’s heart for peace in his creation. God’s peace is about the complete restoration of our souls rather than the removal of all obstacles; he calls us to partner with him in it. As we study the gospel, we discover the very peace we long for is what God longs for as well. He longs for us to be complete in him, safe in him, perfected in him, and at peace with him. This is the reason Jesus Christ came to earth and walked among us: so that we would find a refuge of hope and peace, even while living in a world filled with despair, conflict, and unrest.

In this third message of 2023, pastor Bogdan Kipko reminds us that it's not too late to use the momentum of the New Year to continue strong in our resolution to follow Jesus! Jesus grew and developed physically and spiritually before he began his earthly ministry, taking time to study, listen, and learn. The gospel shows us that in order to grow spiritually, we must first learn to listen and seek God’s wisdom.
Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message. We can have the best of intentions when it comes to serving the Lord, but if we’re not properly prepared in advance and if we’re not continually working toward our improvement through developing our relationship with Christ, then we risk facing discouragement, disillusionment, and spiritual burnout.
If we are to follow in Christ’s footsteps, we must begin like him: asking questions, seeking answers, and looking for God’s hand in all things. The more we press on in this way, the easier it becomes for us to take bigger steps and greater risks that help expand the kingdom of God.

In this second message of 2023, pastor Bogdan Kipko encourages us to fire up our prayer life in the new year. Oswald Chambers said this about prayer: Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.
The big idea in this message is that Paul prays that the Colossian believers will be filled with God’s knowledge and put it into practice. Our prayers for the new year should focus on putting our knowledge of God and His ways into practice every day. When people become Christians, God implants into them a new sense of his presence and love, his guidance and strengthening. This sense needs nurturing and development.
New Christians need to understand what’s happening to them, and how they must cooperate with the divine life that’s gently begun to work in them. Paul, in prison, can help this process in two ways: by writing, as he is doing, but supremely by prayer. He may not be with the Colossians in person. But the God who is with them is also with him, and in the mystery (and hard work) of prayer he can help their progress toward Christian maturity. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this first message of 2023, pastor Bogdan Kipko kicks off the New Year with an encouraging message to rally us as believers to trust God who is our firm foundation. This message addresses the anxieties and excitement of the new year by reinforcing a central truth: while our world constantly changes, its creator does not. James’s word about God’s unchanging nature not only reassures us of our firm foundation in God but also gives us an exhilarating exhortation to witness God’s goodness from that firm foundation. God does not change, which means we can participate in his redemptive plan for creation and trust him with our future. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, pastor Bogdan Kipko concludes the Christmas Sermon series by drawing our attention to the greatest story ever told in all human history. The good news of Christmas is not that we get good advice but rather that we get delivered to us, good news. We no longer have to worry about the future, because we know the One who holds that future. If we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are promised to live happily ever after. Knowing this, we are equipped to handle any triumphs or tragedies that come our way because Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us. Be encouraged by this reality, this Christmas season.

In this message, pastor Bogdan Kipko continues the Christmas Sermon series by drawing our attention to the fact that Christmas means that you can overcome your fear of failure. The big idea of this message is that Jesus came for the failed and the flawed because the failed and the flawed are all that there are. Everything about the birth of Jesus points to poverty, obscurity, and even rejection. But into the darkness breaks forth a glorious light. The glory of God shines into our deepest insecurities and regrets, leaving no room for anxiety or worry. The proper response to the trials and triumphs in our life is to continuously worship Jesus.

In this message, pastor Bogdan concludes the sermon series entitled The Six Sins Of Suburbia. God’s people were disobedient to God’s purposes in order to fulfill their own desires. How often do we neglect the things of God in the pursuit of more for ourselves? God has always called his people to live counterculturally when culture is in opposition to his purposes. Like the people of Haggai’s time, we are faced with choices as to whether we put our resources toward his purposes or our own.
Even if you don’t get everything you’ve ever wanted in life (and you won’t), you get God and that is enough. The believer should prioritize generosity over fulfilling their every material desire. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled The Six Sins Of Suburbia. Choosing the path of life means we must be willing to relinquish the default to convenience. Jesus calls his disciples to action, even when the journey is hard. In this text, Jesus describes Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Groups, and Two Destinations. As you listen to this message, think about the following: Are you taking the narrow gate or the wide gate?
Are you taking the natural path or the narrow path? Are you with a group where there are many or few? Where will your final destination be? What is it that makes you so sure of the answers you gave? Will you be among the few or the many? Let Jesus direct you along the narrow way that leads to eternal life! Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled The Six Sins Of Suburbia. Complacency is a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like; self-satisfaction or smug satisfaction with an existing situation, or condition. Complacency has a way of leading us to neglect what is important in favor of serving ourselves. We neglect our relationship with God and our God-given responsibility to others. We inadvertently become blind to the people and places God desires us to minister to with his gospel of love. The intentional and daily practice of lamenting over the state of your spiritual condition, namely the sins you’ve committed but also the grace of Christ that you have been offered, is the antidote to complacency.

This brand new, six-week sermon series will examine the six deadly sins of Suburbia by looking at six common temptations facing the modern Western Christian. Temptations like comfort, convenience, control, complacency, comparison, consumerism, and conceit knock on our door daily. What will we choose: the way of Christ or the way of self?
In this first sermon in this new sermon series, Pastor Bogdan talks about the sin of comfort. Will you choose the way of comfort or the way of Christ? Avoid growing too comfortable in your faith. Instead, make choices and ask questions that challenge your status quo. Where is it in your life that you have become too comfortable, at the expense of neglecting the high call of discipleship that Christ demands? Suffering always precedes glory. There must be a crucifixion before there can be a resurrection. Discipleship is doing what is right, no matter how uncomfortable, and no matter how great the dangers are.

In this message, pastor Bogdan delivers the final message in the series entitled: What Is The Church. It's time to grow up. It really is. The Bible teaches us that as we grow up, we are no longer children. What do children do? They are tossed to and fro. What do adults do? They remain stable, not being tossed to and fro. As it is normal for a child to develop in all areas of life, so too the child of God must not only grow but grow up in the Lord.
As believers, we are to leave the former infant lifestyle with constant fits and starts and we must mature into Christ who is the head. By submitting to the Lord and to leaders in the local church, we grow up spiritually and are then able to help others do the same. The Bible calls us to be childlike in our faith but to leave our childish ways behind and continue growing in the Lord. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, Pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church. God has graciously distributed gifts to gifted people in the church so that the church can be unified. There are gifts that are given to everyone and then there are specific offices to which certain people are called. Everyone has a gift but not everyone holds an office. Everyone in the church is called to be pastoral but not everyone in the church is called or qualified to be a pastor.
The purpose of the gifts given to the people in the church is so that believers would be prepared and equipped to do the work of the Lord, in order that we would obtain maturity in the Lord. We want to do all that we can to "fan into flame," the gifts that God has given the body of Christ. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church. The means by which unity will have been preserved in the church is when people in the church will use the various gifts given to them by God. Within the body of believers, God has bestowed gifts. The exercise of these gifts plays a vital role in the maintenance of unity within the church. We don’t have to create unity, we are called to maintain it, not mess it up.
When believers who are in the church either neglect or misuse the gifts God has given to them, therein begins the disruption of unity in the church. Because each gift that has been graciously given by our Lord to us, has been specifically curated for us, there should be no bitterness or resentment amongst the members of the church for not getting a certain type of gift. The Lord knows best what is best for us. Let us all be eager and zealous to use our gift for the good of the body of Christ. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, Pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church. God’s design for the church is to bring all the members of the body to the unity of faith and to the full stature of Christ with the result that they will be a stable and growing body in living union with Christ the head. We see from the text that pride provokes disunity whereas humility promotes unity. The Bible is teaching us that our job as Christians is not to create peace, because that is the job of the Holy Spirit but rather our job is to maintain the peace that has already been created with all eagerness. Christian lives should demonstrate humility, gentleness, and patience, which are accomplished by forbearing one another in love and making every effort to preserve the unity that comes from the Holy Spirit. A healthy church that not only grows but also grows up is a church where unity is eagerly maintained by all members. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, Pastor Bogdan continues the sermon series entitled: What Is The Church. Much of what will be shared in this message on The Body Of Christ and The Lord’s Supper was largely inspired by an amazing Puritan writer named Thomas Watson, specifically as he wrote about it in his short but very impactful book entitled The Lord's Supper.
In this message, we will learn about the five particulars as they relate to The Lord’s Supper, namely the Author, the time, the manner, the guests, and the benefits of the Lord's Supper. In order to equip His disciples for such a time and to encourage, stabilize, and prepare them for what is to come, that very night when He was betrayed, He gives them His body and blood in the Sacrament. He gives them Himself. The amazing thing about Jesus is that even when He was dying, He did not stop loving. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In this message, Pastor Bogdan begins a brand new sermon series entitled: What Is The Church. For the next several weeks, we are going to explore what a healthy church looks like and how can we design and develop a church that produces healthy, mature disciples. There must come a point in your life where you realize that there is nothing more important for you personally to do here on earth than to be in partnership with God building His church.
Your membership in a church will far outlast your career and hobby and even family. We believe that a Christian without a church is like an organ without a body, it won’t survive. Healthy churches and healthy people don't just merely grow. They grow up. At Forward Church, we want to help people find hope in Jesus. More specifically, we want to help YOU find hope in Jesus.

In the Christian faith, there are two main symbols of salvation. They are Baptism and The Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is how you have communion with God's family. In this message, Pastor Kipko talks about the second symbol of salvation, which is The Lord's Supper.
Jesus never asked his disciples to remember his birth. But he did instruct them to remember his death and resurrection. He gave the church two visible symbols, called ordinances, as reminders of His death. These two ordinances are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is an object lesson that represents a great spiritual truth for believers. The whole purpose of the Lord’s Supper is for us to remember what Jesus did on the cross.
Some people drink to forget. We as Christians drink to remember. When you take of the Lord’s Supper, you’re preaching a sermon. There’s a forward look and a backward look. We look forward to the fact that Jesus is coming back and He says do this until He comes back. And we look back at the cross. Jesus didn’t stay dead. He’s coming back again. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

In the Christian faith, there are two main symbols of salvation. They are Baptism and The Lord's Supper. Baptism is how you identify with God's family. In this message, Pastor Kipko talks about the first symbol of salvation, which is baptism.
Here at Forward Church, we baptize the way they did in the Bible—putting people all the way under the water. It is a symbol of burial and resurrection. Just like Jesus Christ died and was buried in the ground for three days and then rose again. In the Bible, there was no such thing as a person claiming to be a Christian and not being baptized. It was automatic. You were baptized as soon as you gave your life to Christ. It was a picture of the new life you had been given by Jesus.
Baptism doesn’t make you a believer—it shows that you already believe. Baptism does not “save” you, only your faith in Christ does that. Baptism is a picture of putting off the old way of living and putting on a new way of life in Jesus. Off with the old, on with the new. Buried with Christ in baptism, and raised to walk a brand-new life. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

One of the big questions in the Bible is trying to answer is how to discern the difference between the real and the counterfeit. The Truth and the Lie. The true prophet and the false prophet. The Voice of God and the Voice of the Devil.
In this standalone sermon, we will explore what it looks like to discern between the voice of God and other voices. We will learn how to follow the voice of God to Salvation and Green Pastures as He, Jesus, is our Good Shepherd.

There is more evidence for the resurrection of Jesus than there is evidence for any other event in human history. All of Christianity hinges on this one event. Christianity is the religion of the resurrection. Jesus really did rise from the dead and one of the biggest pieces of evidence of that is the countless number of changed lives!
In this final message in the FAQ Series, Pastor Kipko unpacks the reality of the resurrection and encourages us with the fact that if Jesus really did come back from the dead, and He did, then all will be ok and more importantly, you will be ok! Let’s get ready to have our lives changed, by listening to this message.

Have you ever gone in the wrong direction, like for a really long time, while you are driving and then you had to turn around? Have you ever made a mistake, a wrong turn, or a wrong decision? This matters because if you keep walking around in the dark, you won’t know where you are going, and if you don’t know where you are going, how will you get to where you want to be?
You must have a vision for your life, or else, with no vision, it’s like driving in the fog, at night, with no headlights on. You don’t know where you are going and it can be rather dangerous. We come to church so that our loves and longings are indexed toward God and His kingdom. When talking about different religions, we believe that within Christianity—robust, biblical, Christ-Centered, Christ-exalting Christianity—there are rich resources and remarkable power made available to us to deal with and solve the problem most people face including having an understanding of what is their main purpose on this Earth, to find the meaning of life and to find a solution to the brokenness and sinfulness that is in this world and in our life.
In this message, Pastor Kipko focuses on how Jesus is our life and our light that not only gives us a new life but that Jesus also makes us better at life. Let’s get ready to have our lives changed by listening to this message.

One of the most often asked questions that people have is how can we know with full assurance, that when I die, I will end up in Heaven? The hope is that Jesus does want you to be saved! He proved this by coming to earth, living a sinless life, and then dying on a cross and resurrecting three days later so that you personally can have eternal life. How do you know that you are going to heaven and that you are saved? Have you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God? Are you loving Jesus? Are you being obedient to the things that He commanded you to do through His Word? Does the knowledge of the fact that Jesus saved you from your sin keep you humble by relying on Him every day?
The reality is that you aren’t saved because of the words you said; you are saved because of the Word you heard. Get ready to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and receive knowledge that will assure you that you have been made right with God through Jesus Christ. We hope that you are encouraged and find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message in the Frequently Asked Questions series.

Have you ever wondered why is it that bad things happen to good people? Have you ever doubted the goodness of God? Have you ever doubted that God is actually good?
It can be sometimes confusing because there are people who are doing really good things in life and they aren’t really bad people, but they experience something very difficult. Maybe someone else who doesn’t seem to be honoring God that much or they are living not in a way that is moral or good, they seem to be doing ok. So why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? To be honest, this is one of the hardest questions to answer.
Looking to Scripture and drawing from the excellent work of Tim Keller in his book: The Reason for God, Pastor Bogdan dives deep into this question to communicate to all of us that just because we don't see any conceivable reason as to why bad things happen to some people, that is not necessarily evidence that there there isn't a good reason. In fact, the very existence of suffering is actually pointing to the fact that we do have a good God. Jesus took upon Himself our suffering so that we could live forever. Jesus is a God who can relate to us when we suffer. We hope that you are encouraged and find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message in the Frequently Asked Questions series.

All of us are highly complex individuals with our own hang-ups, complexities, contradictions, and paradoxes. We say one thing and we do another. We desire one thing but our life reflects the exact opposite. We do what we should not do and we don’t do what we should do. We are a fractured mess of unrealized expectations, shattered dreams, unfulfilled longings, and a stark realization then when we wake up in the morning or go to sleep at night, when the noise of the day is gone, or when we have a few minutes alone with just ourselves and our thoughts, we have this sinking feeling that we haven’t accomplished as much as we possibly can and we squandered the resources that we had and we’ve buried the talents that God has given us.
You find yourself in this cycle of realizing you aren’t what you should be, you aren’t what you need to be, you aren’t where you want to be, and every day, you are continuing to become something, or someone, that you don’t really know whether it is something that you’ll be satisfied with or even proud of. What is it that entrapped you or enslaved you, what is it that you have not been freed from or what is it that you are not free from, or what is it that you are a slave to, that you have given your life over to, that has a stronghold over you, that has you shackled, that you are chained to, and whatever that is, it is keeping you from the peace, joy and hope and fulfillment that the Bible promises to those that come to Christ and drink from the well of his unlimited grace, righteousness, and mercy? In this powerful message, Pastor Kipko unpacks from the Bible how you can find freedom in Christ, by looking at the story of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea and how God rescued them from Egypt.

Parables provide insight into the nature, coming, growth, and consummation of the kingdom of God. They give us pictures of this kingdom that “has come near." Parables in the Gospels ultimately draw attention to Jesus as God’s Messiah and call us to make a personal decision concerning Him and to follow Him.
In this message, Pastor Bogdan Kipko is calling us to not only examine this parable but also to examine our own lives to see who is in our circle of influence, is receptive to the gospel message, and focus on helping those people get into an even more of a deeper relationship with Jesus!

Discipleship is not a program to attend but rather a way of life to embrace. If you want a great life, if you want God’s blessing, if you want to be properly equipped to handle the difficulties of life and the complexities of living, commit to not only believing in Jesus but also following him by being a disciple who makes disciples!
When we talk about Holy or Sacred Spaces, we are talking about spaces set apart. We are talking about places that are made sacred because God is there. The 3+3 Model of Discipleship includes sacred spaces and sacred relationships. In this message, Dmitry Kvasnyuk explains to us the three spaces and the three relationships that God uses to make us more like Christ.
We believe that Jesus loves you. That He died on the cross for your sins. He wants to forgive you. He wants to bless you. He wants to heal you. He wants you to experience him. Will you follow His way of discipleship? The choice is yours. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus by listening to this message!

We can try to do something our way but the Way maker has a different way. You can live life your way or God's way. It is your choice. God's way though, is God's best for you. In this message, Pastor Kipko unpacks for us what happened when people came to arrest Jesus. People betrayed Jesus but Jesus blesses those who are His betrayers. That is the good news of the gospel. We give Jesus our betrayal and Jesus gives us His blessing. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus by listening to this message!

Dont miss the WayMaker! Each miracle of Jesus that we’ve looked at in the past five weeks, Jesus makes a way, but there is something very distinctive in this message! The ten lepers in this story had their skin changed but only one had his heart changed. Be careful so that the disease of bitterness, past wounds, anger, addiction, or whatever your vice might be, is not growing in your life!
In this message, Pastor Kipko reminds us that our faith must move us to obedience, which then opens the door for God to make a way! Very often in our life, we are after "clear skin," but Jesus is after your heart. Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.

Despite constant discussion of grace and forgiveness in church life, it’s still easy to hold on to regrets, shame, and self-condemnation. Our past seems too dark to wipe out, our sins too great to be covered. And yet this passage shows the power of Christ’s healing to make us clean. Christ heals the bleeding woman in a display of divine power and purity, allowing her to return to the temple and to worship in community.
We see our own story in this passage—Christ extends his salvation to us and overcomes our sin, making us pure and holy in his sight, which allows us to live freely and fully in Christian community.
In this fourth sermon in the Waymaker series, Pastor Bogdan will make the case that God making a way for someone else, doesn’t mean He won’t for you.

In a day when women were considered second-class, Jesus shattered prejudices and elevated the status of women to unprecedented heights.
Only in Christian circles have women been lifted up to true equality with men, which doesn’t exist in many parts of the world. It’s unique that the writer of the book of Proverbs, the wisest man that ever lived, Solomon, is portraying wisdom as a woman.
The quality of a home does not depend on location, size, or zip code if you live behind a gate or don’t if you have a small or a big backyard or none at all if you have a view from your home or don’t. It is the woman that makes the home.
In this Mother's Day Sermon, Pastor Bogdan turns our attention to a wise woman in the Bible named Abigail. Abigail was a wise woman in a situation that could have gone really bad for her and for her family. Wise women wield much power and influence - for better or for worse.

"Just because God hasn’t made a way in the way in which you expected Him to, that doesn’t mean that He isn’t the Waymaker. If we miss this and if we miss out on all the miracles that God is doing in our midst, we will fail to see how much God really does love us and our devotion and worship of Him will wane and our love for other people will become lukewarm. We run the risk of becoming disenchanted and disappointed not just with Christianity or following Jesus or church but with life itself and we run the risk of spiraling out of control, listening to the lies of the enemy instead of hearing and seeing the truth from God.
In this third sermon in the Waymaker series, Pastor Bogdan Kipko challenges us from the Bible that Just because we haven’t experienced a miracle or we haven’t seen a miracle of God happen, that doesn’t mean that miracles of God don’t happen.

Christianity isn’t about getting you into heaven. Christianity is about heaven coming to you. You can either declare Jesus as Lord, dismiss Him as a liar, or think of Him as a lunatic. The one thing you cannot remain to be in relation to Jesus is indifferent. Grappling and studying Jesus and the fact that Jesus really did come back from the dead, and seeing Him for who He really is, is so crucial, because if you miss this, then you will miss the entire point of why you exist on this planet to begin with and you run the risk of missing out on your life purpose.
In this first sermon in the Waymaker series, Pastor Bogdan Kipko challenges us from the Bible so that we can see that the biggest miracle that ever was enacted by the Waymaker is that the Son Of God, Jesus Christ, really truly did come back from the dead!

April is a Busy Month. In fact, as I was trying to form a schedule it was filled with obligations to friends, family, church, and work with hardly any room to breathe. I don’t know if you have ever been in a busy season. It's all the things that you have said yes to but sometimes it feels overwhelming. Have you ever been excited about a party or an event? You spend all this time preparing and getting everything set up but by the time it happens you are tired, or in a bad mood. The day passes you by and you don’t enjoy it.
In the film 500 days of Summer. The film chronicles various days within a young couple's doomed relationship. There is a scene in the movie in which the guy is invited to a party with the girl and this will be his chance to win her back. All of the sudden the movie goes from split-screen and there is one side with expectation and the other is reality. On the expectation side, he is charming and is able to regain the affections of his love but on the other side, in reality, she barely notices he is there and is off in the corner.
Palm Sunday is a Story of Expectation vs. Reality...
