This powerful message takes us deep into John 14, where Jesus gives us what might seem like a simple command: if you love me, keep my commandments. But what does that really mean? Rather than a long list of religious rules to follow, we discover that Jesus distills everything down to one transformative commandment: love one another as I have loved you.
When life feels uncertain, most of us want something solid to hold onto: a map, a method, a sign, a way forward. In John 14, Jesus speaks to friends whose hearts are troubled and whose questions sound a lot like ours. This sermon explores what Jesus offers when certainty is out of reach — and why his answer may be both simpler and deeper than we expect.
There is no shortage of voices to follow today - every news pundit, podcaster and influencer has an opinion to share and following to grow. Only one voice leads to the abundant life - the voice of Jesus. This sermon explores why we need a shepherd, why Jesus is a good shepherd, and the value of a life spent following Him alone.
Christians believe knowing Jesus changes everything. But at the same time, it seems many people—maybe even ourselves—can know about Jesus and still miss the life-altering heart of who he is. On the road to Emmaus, two disciples walk with the risen Christ without recognizing him until something happens that opens their eyes.
Using Judas as a lens, this sermon reminds us that the greatest danger is not failure, but despair—and calls us to “stay” long enough to see that God’s mercy and his Resurrection power are still at work, even in our darkest moments.
Easter is a joyful and beautiful time. A time for family, worship, and fun. But if it doesn’t make a difference in real life, so what? This sermon asks what the resurrection of Jesus has to do with everyday life and the wounds, struggles, and questions many people carry.
People use God’s name to do all kinds of terrible things. And for many, that misuse of God makes the very idea of God hard to accept. But what if there is a clear way to see what God is really like—a way that surprised the first people who heard it and still does today? This sermon explores one of the Bible’s best-known stories — Jesus’ triumphal entry in Jerusalem — and asks what it tells us…
We all have blind spots—places where we cannot see ourselves and others clearly, places where we have grown accustomed to darkness. And sometimes what keeps us from wholeness is not only what has hurt us, but what we refuse to notice or see. This sermon is about sight, resistance, and the healing light of Christ. It is a story about what happens when we allow Jesus to open our eyes and begin to…
Are you living from your true self or a false one? Do you know the difference? One is given by God; the other you built simply to survive. One is exhausting and hollow; the other leads to a life marked by peace and purpose. In his wilderness temptation, Jesus shows us what it looks like to trust the identity the Father gives — and how to live a life that flows from being named beloved.
Nicodemus steps through the dark of night to come to the light of the world: Jesus. Through his encounter with Christ we learn that Jesus is the one to bring our questions, wonder, even doubts, and the one worthy of our faith. Nicodemus teaches that complete understanding is not a prerequisite for faith, but instead faith is about who we trust with our questions and with our life. This sermon…
