About this sermon

Think you know everything Jesus said? Think again.

From “God is angry at me and wants to ruin my life” to “Follow your heart,” Pastor Greg unpacks the difference between feel-good slogans, half-truths, and the life-changing reality of biblical fact. Whether you’re wrestling with religious doubts, burned out by self-help, or just searching for genuine answers, this episode offers clarity, warmth, and a clear invitation to experience the hope that only Jesus can bring.
