John 15:1-8 / Jesus never called us to a shallow or effortless faith—he called us to discipleship. And while growth in Christ can be stretching, even painful, it is never without purpose. In John 14, Jesus gave his disciples a comforting promise that they would do “greater works” because he was going to the Father—but how could that possibly be true? In John 15, he gives the answer. He reveals himself as the true Vine, the Father as the careful Husbandman, and us as the branches whose fruitfulness depends entirely on abiding in him. In this sermon we consider whether we are truly connected to Christ and gaining all that’s necessary for fruitfulness.

John 14:12-31/ In part 2 of this sermon, we step back into the disciples’ anxiety as they realize Jesus is leaving—and ask the same question believers still wrestle with: how do you follow Christ when you feel alone and unsure of the path ahead? Jesus answers not by removing uncertainty but by giving present comfort for everyday life: The passage moves us from fear to confidence, showing that discipleship is not sustained by feelings but by obedience born from love, and that Christ’s peace is not the fragile peace the world offers but a steady assurance rooted in his presence, his help, and his promises.

John 14:1-11 / In John 14, Jesus speaks to disciples whose hearts are shaken by the idea of being left alone, without their Savior and the safety of his friendship. As he prepares them for his departure, Christ redirects their fears toward comforting realities. This passage shows that troubled hearts are not calmed by ideal circumstances or the security of people, but by truth—by knowing where we belong, who receives us, and why we can trust the way forward. When obedience and leadership feel hard and unclear, John 14 reminds us that our confidence is in the promises of Christ.

John 13:16-36 / In this sermon, we move from the basin and towel to the dark reality that often follows sacrificial love—betrayal. After washing his disciples’ feet, Christ makes clear that true discipleship is not measured by ministry involvement or bold declarations of loyalty, but by humble, charitable love toward one another. Yet that love can be tested when it is not returned—when those we serve disappoint, hurt, or even turn against us. Centered in John 13, this message confronts the pain of betrayal, the danger of cynicism, and the pride that blinds us to our own frailty. We will see that devotion to Christ is ultimately revealed in devotion to his people, and that even when love costs us dearly, Christ calls us to serve faithfully anyway.

John 13:1-15 / As Jesus concludes his final public discourse, he does so by affirming his relationship with the Father. He leaves no ambiguity about his allegiance: his life, his mission, and his words have consistently honored the Father who sent him. Every action, every declaration, every moment has been shaped by that singular devotion. And that raises a searching question for us—if he has done everything to honor the Father, have you done everything to honor the Son? What is it that keeps you from living with the same mission-focused clarity?

John 12:43-50 / As Jesus concludes his final public discourse, he does so by affirming his relationship with the Father. He leaves no ambiguity about his allegiance: his life, his mission, and his words have consistently honored the Father who sent him. Every action, every declaration, every moment has been shaped by that singular devotion. And that raises a searching question for us—if he has done everything to honor the Father, have you done everything to honor the Son? What is it that keeps you from living with the same mission-focused clarity?

John 12:12-26 /

John 12:1-11 / What happens when we deny Christ? What happens when he reveals himself, reasons with us, and yet we still resist him? Today we watch the Sanhedrin plot against the Messiah—even after he raised Lazarus. In their response, we see their motives laid bare. And if we’re honest, we see our own exposed as well.

John 11:47-57 / What happens when we deny Christ? What happens when he reveals himself, reasons with us, and yet we still resist him? Today we watch the Sanhedrin plot against the Messiah—even after he raised Lazarus. In their response, we see their motives laid bare. And if we’re honest, we see our own exposed as well.

John 11:17-46 / Now we come to the moment when Jesus returns to Bethany to raise Lazarus from the dead. But before the miracle, there’s a meeting—a heartfelt exchange with Martha and Mary as they pour out their grief and confusion before the Lord. Through their words, we learn what it means to believe even when it hurts—to trust Christ when life hasn’t gone the way we hoped. this passage calls us to find our satisfaction in him, and how to draw near to God despite our unmet expectations.

John 11:1-16 / In this sermon, we find Jesus receiving news that his dear friend Lazarus is gravely ill. Though the need seems urgent, Christ delays His journey—not from neglect, but for the sake of his divine purposes. In these verses we see the heart of our Savior: fully aware, deeply loving, and perfectly intentional. He knows every detail of our lives, even when we feel forgotten. What seems like absence, distance or delay is often just the setup for a greater story. In John 11 we find Jesus, as our friend, working all things according to a plan far higher and holier than our own.

John 10:17-30 / At the Feast of Dedication, Jesus once again faces a skeptical crowd. They demand that He state plainly whether He is the Messiah—but He has grown weary of their unbelief. In response, Jesus delivers a powerful series of declarations and promises concerning those who truly follow Him. In this message, we explore Christ’s words not only as a source of encouragement, but also as a means of examining the sincerity and fruit of our own ministries.

John 10:11-16 / When Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd, He wasn’t just offering comfort—He was claiming the very title of Jehovah, the Shepherd of Israel from Psalm 23. That means His care isn’t distant or abstract; it’s personal, sacrificial, and eternal. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep, while the hireling flees at the first sign of danger. Today we’re going to wrestle with two questions: Are we truly following Christ according to His will? And, for those of us called to lead, are we leading others in the same sacrificial love that He has shown us?

John 10:1-10 / Imagine being blind your entire life, only to have Jesus open your eyes—and then realizing that instead of celebrating, everyone around you rejects you. That was the reality for the man in John 9: he gained his sight but lost his community. Yet in his rejection, he discovered something greater—Jesus Himself seeking him, loving him, and calling him into eternal life. The truth is, not every voice in our lives has our best interest at heart, and some voices—even close ones—can pull us away from Christ. Today we’re going to ask a simple but life-defining question: whose voice are you really following?

Proverbs 30:24–31 shows us that even the smallest and weakest creatures overcome fear through wisdom, not strength. Like ants, conies, locusts, and spiders, we too can face the anxieties of our generation by clinging to Christ.

John 9:35-41 / And at last, the story reaches its climax: the man who was once blind now sees Christ face-to-face. In that moment, we witness the relentless love of Jesus and His patient pursuit of His own. Their exchange reveals the unfolding of belief as it grows into saving faith. And it calls us to the beauty of simple worship — bowing before the Lord, the great I AM — for Jesus alone is worthy.

John 9:24-34 / As the Pharisees interrogate the man healed of blindness, their hostility stands in contrast to his transformative encounter with Jesus. Their aggressive questioning doesn’t intimidate him—it emboldens him. With every challenge, his faith grows stronger until he openly identifies as a disciple.

In this sermon, we’ll explore what this confrontation reveals about mankind’s resistance to Christ—and what the blind man’s boldness teaches us about faith in the face of opposition and our past.

John 9:13-23 / Jesus returns to Jerusalem for a feast and heals a blind man by anointing his eyes with clay made from spit, then sending him to wash in the pool of Siloam. This miracle, done on the Sabbath, stirs the fury of the Pharisees, who interrogate the man and his family. In our sermon, we learn a lot about the responses that people often have to our decision to follow Christ. We also take a look at how we should approach our family when we so deeply desire to minister the gospel to them.
