Who is Jesus to you – and what is He doing?
In this message, we continue asking that question by looking at what Jesus actually does when He steps into real situations. He doesn’t stay at a distance or simply offer support from the outside. He moves toward what’s broken and deals with what caused the separation in the first place. This isn’t just about closeness. It’s about something being made right between you and God in a way that changes your standing, not just your circumstances.
And if that’s true, it reshapes how you see Him today. Are you relating to Jesus as someone who helps from the outside, or as someone who has already made things right and now lives within you? This message will help you see more clearly who Christ is and what it means for Him to be actively at work in your life.
If you missed the live service or want to reflect further, you can watch the full message above anytime after. We’ve also included discussion questions to dig deeper into the message and a handout with fill-ins to guide your reflection. You can find the handout by clicking the “Download” button above. Whether you watch this on your own or share it with your small group, we hope this message encourages you.
