Sunday Service 03/22/202 |  Jesus Unfiltered | The Loving Jesus Who Confronts and Transforms | Pastor Daniel Kolson

What if the version of Jesus many people believe in today is too small to actually change them?

In Week 3 of the Jesus Unfiltered series, Pastor Daniel Kolson confronts one of the most dominant filters in modern Christianity: the idea that Jesus exists primarily to comfort, affirm, and make us feel better.

Yes—Jesus is compassionate.

Yes—He heals.

Yes—He forgives.

But He also confronts.

He rebukes.

He disrupts.

He demands.

This message dismantles the “therapeutic Jesus” and reveals the real Christ of Scripture—a Jesus whose love is not passive, but powerful enough to challenge, correct, and transform everything in our lives.

Through Scripture, history, and cultural insight, this sermon exposes how we’ve reshaped Jesus into something safe and manageable—and calls us back to a holy, unfiltered view of Christ that actually produces real disciples.

Because a Jesus who never confronts you…

is a Jesus who cannot change you.
