Love Beyond Reason | John 13:1-38 | The Gospel of John (Part 22)

In John 13, Jesus kneels to wash His disciples’ feet, offering a quiet picture of the kind of love that carries Him all the way to the cross. In this message, Pastor Aaron reflects on what it means to be loved “to the uttermost,” even when our failures are fully seen. As Peter wrestles with receiving what he cannot earn, we’re invited to consider how difficult it can be to accept grace. This sermon explores how receiving Jesus’ love shapes the way we serve and love others, grounding us in a grace that meets us at our worst and calls us into a different way of living.

Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews | John 12:37-50 | The Gospel of John (Part 21)

In this message from our series in the Gospel of John, we reflect on Jesus’ final words to the crowd and what it truly means to believe. Faith is framed not as something we possess once, but as a lived journey that moves from simplicity through struggle and toward surrender.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany, Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King, & Jesus Predicts His Death | John 12:1-36 | The Gospel of John (Part 20)

In this message from John 12, Pastor Alex reflects on Mary’s extravagant act of love as she pours out costly perfume at Jesus’ feet. What seems excessive becomes a picture of devotion and surrender, inviting us to consider what Jesus truly means to us. As the story moves toward Jerusalem and the cross, we’re reminded that following Jesus often costs more than we expect and asks us to choose obedience over convenience. As we approach Holy Week, this sermon invites us to slow down, give our best to Jesus, and remember why the table and a life of gratitude matter so deeply.

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead | John 11:1-57 | The Gospel of John (Part 19)

In this message from John 11, we’re joined by Pastor Diego Araya from Comunidad Nexo in Costa Rica, one of South’s Global Partners, as we sit with the story of Lazarus and the stunning claim Jesus makes about Himself as the resurrection and the life. As we watch Martha and Mary wrestle with grief, disappointment, and hope, we’re invited to see how Jesus speaks into our own fears about death and the unknown. This sermon reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just offer healing; He calls us from death to life and reshapes the way we see our future, inviting us to trust Him, live without fear, and share the hope found in Christ.

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep | John 10:1-42 | The Gospel of John (Part 18)

In this message from John 10, Pastor Alex reflects on Jesus’ image of the Good Shepherd and what it means to truly follow Him. We’re invited to consider the voices shaping our lives and to remember that we are known, pursued, and cared for by a shepherd who leads us toward life. In a noisy and distracted world, this sermon calls us to slow down, listen, and learn to recognize the gentle voice of Jesus. Whether you feel confident, uncertain, or a little lost, this message is a reminder that the Good Shepherd knows your name and is calling you home.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind | John 9:1-40 | The Gospel of John (Part 17)

John 9 opens with a question about blame, but Jesus quickly redirects the focus toward what God is doing. In this sermon, we reflect on the healing of a man born blind and the deeper invitation Jesus offers to see differently. As the man’s understanding grows and the religious leaders cling to certainty, we’re invited to examine our own spiritual sight and consider where we may have stopped growing. As the story unfolds, this message invites us into humility, curiosity, and trust, reminding us that true sight often begins when we admit we don’t see clearly yet and allow Jesus to lead us forward.

Dispute Over Who Jesus Is | John 8:21-59 | The Gospel of John (Part 16)

John 8 brings us into a tense and honest conversation between Jesus and the religious leaders, one that presses on questions of identity, freedom, and where we truly belong. In this sermon, we sit with the discomfort of miscommunication and the ways spiritual bondage can hide in plain sight. Jesus invites us into a deeper kind of freedom, not just release from sin, but a place in God’s family. Through story and reflection, this message calls us to receive that freedom with gratitude and to come to the table together in communion.

Deal or No Deal? | Isaiah 36-37 | Stand Alone Sermon

This week, Nathan draws from his work with students to reflect on what it looks like to grow in faith within community. Through honest stories and thoughtful insight, he invites us to consider how our beliefs take shape in everyday life and the small, faithful steps that form us over time.

Walk By Faith And Not By Sight | Isaiah 7:10-17 | The Promise of Jesus in Isaiah (Part 4)

What do we do when the path ahead feels unclear and fear starts to shape our decisions? In this sermon, Pastor Peter sits with Isaiah 7 and the story of King Ahaz, connecting an ancient moment of uncertainty to the very real questions we carry today. As we reflect on Advent, we’re invited to consider what it looks like to trust God’s presence when clarity is lacking and the future feels fragile. Through story, scripture, and honest reflection, this message points us toward a deeper hope and reminds us that the light of Christ meets us right where we are, even in our darkest moments.
