NEW TO REAL LIFE?
Thanks for stopping by our YouVersion! If you're searching for a church home, we're the place for you. We would love for you to plan your visit in-person with us. Whether you've never been to church before, or grew up attending church weekly, plan your experience to join us this weekend!
https://reallifechurchkc.com/planyourvisitSeries Description:
Ever feel like you're not enough? Not strong enough, not good enough, not put together enough to handle life — let alone feel close to God? You're not alone. But what if the answer wasn't found in trying harder... but in trusting the One who already gave it all?
This 4-week series, ENOUGH, walks through the final days of Jesus' life and His resurrection to show us one powerful truth:
What we lacked, Jesus gave. Calvary is enough.

Message Description:
Ever felt like you’re too broken, too far gone, or simply not enough? You're not alone—and you're exactly the kind of person Jesus loves to meet right where you are.
This week in our series ENOUGH, we’ll take a powerful look at two women whose lives were radically transformed by Jesus: Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany.
They weren't just healed by Jesus—they were forever changed as they encountered Him at the Cross. Their stories show us that even in the middle of grief, pain, and shame, Jesus brings purpose, identity, and unshakable hope.
This message will not only encourage your heart, it will reshape your soul. You'll see how trusting Jesus—not trying harder—is the key to experiencing a life of freedom, healing, and lasting transformation.
If you’ve ever wondered if Jesus really sees you… if He can really change you… this is the message you’ve been waiting for.
Be reminded: Jesus is enough—and because of Him, so are you.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Today we look at two women, Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene, that found their life, their confidence, and their worship in the only One who is enough - Jesus.
Jesus’ response often strikes at the core of our inadequacies each time we read it.
Martha is worried about many things, but ONE THING is needed.
David sought only One thing—to dwell with the Lord all the days of His Life!
How many of you know everything changes when you believe Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world?
In front of many witnesses, with dead corpse rotten in a grave Jesus was enough!
Mary acted boldly and only with concern for the One Thing that mattered in that moment - worshipping Jesus by anointing His feet.
Mary did not have to count up the cost of worshiping Jesus. Jesus was worth it all - He was her One Thing.
Mary of Bethany is an example for us
- She was willing to be a disciple: to sit at his feet, forgoing the day's busyness and hustle, and recognize that the One Thing is being in His presence.
- She was willing to be real : She fell at His feet in grief and pain when her brother died. This shows us we have a loving and compassionate Savior. Jesus weeps when we weep and has compassion and care for us—we are His children that He loves, and we can bring Him our pain.
- She passionately and unashamedly worshiped: Mary’s sacrifice, preparing Him for the cross/burial, is a real look at what unashamed worship looks like. It’s a look into a heart fully surrendered to following Jesus and completely humble in devoted service to Him.

Her life is an example of Jesus being enough.
As Jesus was approaching the crucifixion and resurrection, another Mary that found that Jesus is enough.
Not only did Mary Magdalene found out that Jesus was enough, seven demons found out that Jesus was enough!
The word for “helping to support” here is actually the same as the word Deacon used later in the Book of Acts to describe those who served in the early church.
Everyone including Nicodemus, the religious leader who came to Jesus by night, secretly searching for the truth about how to follow God.
The woman thought would be their last opportunity to serve Jesus.
It’s amazing to me and should be noted that the first person to recognize the resurrected Jesus was a women! At that moment, everything changed.
What if Jesus wasn’t just your enough, but your more than enough?
TALK IT OVER
1. Opening Up: Naming the Struggle
Q1: In what areas of your life do you most often feel like you're “not enough”—as a mom, spouse, friend, or follower of Jesus?
Q2: What messages from culture or social media do you find yourself believing about who you should be?
2. At Jesus’ Feet: Choosing the Better Thing
Q3: When you hear Jesus tell Martha, “Only one thing is needed,” how does that speak to the busy, distracted parts of your life right now?
Q4: What would it look like for you to make time at Jesus’ feet your “one thing” in this season?
3. When Life Hurts: Bringing Pain to Jesus
Q5: How do you respond when life is painful or disappointing—like Mary grieving the loss of her brother?
Q6: What does it mean to you that Jesus wept with Mary? How does that change the way you view His love for you?
4. Worship that Costs Something
Q7: Mary poured out costly perfume as an act of worship. What’s something costly (time, comfort, pride) that God may be inviting you to surrender in this season?
Q8: When was the last time you boldly worshiped or followed Jesus without caring what others thought?
5. Healing & Identity: Learning from Mary Magdalene
Q9: Mary Magdalene was completely changed by Jesus after years of torment and isolation. What parts of your story still need Jesus’ healing touch?
Q10: How does Mary’s devotion—through Jesus’ death and resurrection—inspire you to follow Him more deeply, even when life is hard?
6. Passing It On: For the Sake of the Next Generation
Q11: Psalm 86 says, “Save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.” What do you want your children or family to see in your relationship with Jesus?
Q12: What would change if encounter the resurrected Jesus like Mary and you moved Jesus from just enough to more than enough in your life?
