The ultimate model for an Even If faith is Jesus Christ. In this message from Matthew 26 and Jesus's prayer in the garden, we learn that an "Even If" faith is one that is obedient to God, even if it costs you everything. This is the culminating message from this year's DiscipleNow weekend.

Standing on the edge of promise, God calls His people to preparation before movement. From Joshua 3 and Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, this message reminds us that God shapes our hearts before He advances our steps. As we consecrate ourselves and seek first His kingdom, we learn to trust God’s presence to lead us—into new seasons, new obedience, and the wonders He has ahead.

In Matthew 18, Jesus tells of a servant forgiven a massive debt who refuses to forgive a small one. It’s a reminder that unforgiveness traps us in bitterness, while grace frees us. We forgive not because others deserve it, but because we have been forgiven far more by Christ. Forgiven people forgive people — releasing the offense, healing the heart, and reflecting the One who canceled every debt at the cross.

In Matthew 13:44, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven as a hidden treasure worth everything. This sermon explores how the gospel reveals God’s greatest gift—eternal life through Jesus Christ. Like the man who joyfully sold all to gain the treasure, we are called to surrender all for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. The gospel invites us into joy, sacrifice, and a new life anchored in God’s unshakable kingdom.

The Jesus Way has always been God's plan. The Jesus Way is the only way to eternal life. Living the Jesus Way is living a life of surrender. Do you choose the Jesus Way?
