This Sunday, Pastor Jon concluded the "Come to Me" series by asking a question worth sitting with: why Jesus?
He pointed to a cultural moment where confident secularism is losing its footing, and the Christianity quietly growing is not the therapeutic, accommodating kind — it's the traditional, committed, and costly one. From there, Pastor Jon offered three reasons to come to Jesus: longing, forgiveness, and rest. He challenged us with the idea of "miswanting": the gap between what we think will satisfy us and what actually does, and made the case that Jesus doesn't shame us for our desires, but wants to save us from the lesser loves we've been chasing. Jesus's invitation in Matthew 11 is not to a system or a philosophy. it's to a person. One you come to, and keep coming to.
