In this series from Northridge Church and Pastor Drew Karschner, we’ll look at Jesus’s unfiltered character and unwavering commitment to follow the will of the Father. Filmed on location in Israel, we’ll experience Jesus' life of dependence, faith, denial, love, obedience, and pursuit of people. The end goal is that we too may reflect the life of Jesus unfiltered.

See the 6 week lesson series below
Note: We will watch these together on Wednesdays. If you would like to watch it apart from Wednesday's, you need a RightNow Media account.  Email office@princetownchurch.com to request your free account access.
