I Want to See Jesus — But Am I Willing to Follow Him? | John 12 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it really mean to say, “I want to see Jesus”? In John 12, Jesus answers that desire with a surprising invitation: follow Him to the cross, surrender your life, and discover the new life that comes when a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies. In this message from John 12:24–33, Pastor Christian Dobson explores dying to self, surrendering to God, following Jesus, the meaning of the cross, and Jesus’ promise that a surrendered life can bear much fruit. If you’re longing for a dee
They Wanted a Political Savior—Jesus Offered Something Greater | John 12 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem crying, “Hosanna! Save now!” They wanted a King who would overthrow Rome—but Jesus came to bring a far deeper kind of salvation. In this study through John 12:12–26, Pastor Christian Dobson explores the Triumphal Entry, the meaning of the palm branches, Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, the prophecy of Zechariah 9, and the dangerous temptation to become more passionate about changing our nation than allowing Jesus to transform our own lives.

Don’t Give Your Slippah: Your Calling to Reconciliation | Ruth 4. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every Christian has a calling—but it may be simpler and more important than you think.

Boaz, the kinsman-redeemer, points us to Jesus—the only One capable of saving and restoring us. But once we have been reconciled to God through Christ, we are entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. The women of Bethlehem demonstr
Why Religion Can’t Redeem You (Ruth 4) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who is the mysterious redeemer who came before Boaz—and what does he reveal about our relationship with God? In Ruth chapter 4, Boaz goes to the city gate prepared to redeem Ruth and take her as his bride. But first, he must confront a nearer kinsman-redeemer who has the legal right to redeem her. As the story unfolds, this unnamed man becomes a powerful picture of the Law: able to reveal what is required, but unable to provide redemption. In this message, Pastor Christian Dobson explains how Bo
What Are You Really Worth? The Price God Was Willing to Pay | Ruth 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who determines your value—the world, your past, your failures, or even the way you see yourself? In Ruth chapter 3, Ruth approaches Boaz at the threshing floor with nothing to offer except herself. As a Moabite widow, she had every reason to expect rejection. Instead, Boaz receives her with extraordinary kindness, calls her worthy, and promises to pursue her redemption. In this message from Calvary Kona , Pastor Christian Dobson explores the powerful biblical symbolism of Ruth and Boaz , the thr
