Hope Isn't Just a Nice Feeling | How to Have a Hope that Flips Cities
When you hear the word "hope", you might think of soft, mushy feelings or a laundry room sign you saw at Michael's. But what if there was a real, tangible hope that didn't just make you feel good, it actually changed the world? When Paul walked in to one of the most powerful cities in the ancient world, he had that kind of hope. And that's why we're still talking about him today. This week, Kyle Ranson visits the ruins of the city of Ephesus to explore Paul's story and show us how we can have the same kind of hope. Recorded live in Cincinnati, Ohio and Ephesus, Turkey.

Run Your Race With Endurance | Paul’s Secret to Spiritual Breakthrough
What does it take to run your race with endurance? The middle of the race is where many people quit, but it’s also where endurance is built. In 1 Corinthians 9:25–27, Paul compares the Christian life to a race that requires discipline, perseverance, and spiritual training. Filmed in Athens, Greece, this message from Kyle Ranson explores how Paul endured a difficult season while standing before the Areopagus, one of the most intimidating places in the ancient world. Through his example, we discover why spiritual breakthrough often comes through perseverance, what strict training helps us stay faithful, and how God endures for us as we endure for Him.Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
