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.

John 9:1-12 / In John 9, Jesus returns to Jerusalem for the Feast of Dedication, undeterred by the ridicule He faced before. As He enters the city, He meets a man blind from birth. The disciples ask a deep question about suffering, and Jesus uses it to reveal greater truths and call us to greater faith. In this chapter, the blind man is healed and becomes the central figure, showing us what it means to believe in Christ—even when faced with relentless opposition and debate.

John 8:31-59 / Following the account of the woman caught in adultery, Jesus continues teaching, and His words—full of both wisdom and mercy—cause a division among His listeners. Only a few remain who appear to believe, but their belief is shallow. They see Him as a prophet, perhaps even the Messiah, but not as the Son of God. In today’s sermon, we explore the question: What keeps people from moving beyond mere intellectual belief? What barriers prevent them from experiencing true salvation and stepping into genuine discipleship? And what might be hindering us personally from fully following Christ?

Galatians 3:1-14

John 8:12-30 / In chapter 8, Jesus shows mercy to the woman caught in adultery, but as He continues teaching, it becomes clear that the shame of sin keeps us trapped in darkness. Mercy isn't just about the command to 'go and sin no more'—it’s about the invitation: 'He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness.' In this sermon, we’ll explore what it truly means to overcome sin in our lives—despite our doubts and the voices that oppose the Light.

John 8:1-11 / In chapter 8 Jesus takes a break from the crowds and retreats to the mount of Olives, a familiar place of rest. He then returns to Jerusalem to preach and teach when he is interrupted by the scribes and Pharisees who bring to him a woman caught in the act of adultery. Their intent is not justice but entrapment; they hope to corner Christ in a moral quandary, but his wisdom prevails. In this powerful moment, He teaches us what true mercy looks like and how to minister with grace and truth—even when faced with messy, uncomfortable situations.

1 Samuel 1

John 7:35-53 / At the Feast of Tabernacles, the debate over Jesus’ identity as Messiah reaches a climax. On the final day, He issues a bold invitation: 'If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.' In this week's sermon, we unpack what it means to have 'living water' and consider Nicodemus as a model of trusting God for the souls of others.

John 7:35-53 / In this passage, the Jews in Jerusalem are outraged by the perceived inaction of their religious leaders. Many among the crowd are eager to see Jesus arrested and even killed, disturbed by His "unorthodox" teachings and miraculous works—particularly one performed on the Sabbath. They challenge His identity by questioning His origins, insisting that someone from His background could not possibly be the Messiah. Yet, Jesus’ interaction with them reveals how He resists temptation and pride, offering us a deeper understanding of what it means to be rooted not in earthly identity, but in a heavenly calling.

John 7:14-24 / The Jewish people are gathered together in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of the Tabernacles, but behind closed doors they are curious about whether or not they will catch a glimpse of the man some are calling Messiah. They all seem to have differing ideas about Jesus but most are too afraid to discuss them openly. About halfway through the celebrations, Jesus presents himself and begins teaching but is soon confronted by his naysayers. What can be learned by the decisions Jesus makes? What can be learned by his response to the men who oppose him? What does it mean to judge or discern righteously?

John 7:11-13 / As Jesus goes to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, the Bible gives us a glimpse into how the people in Jerusalem for perceiving Jesus. In our sermon, we discuss the differing and often unresolved views that people have of Jesus and how we as Christians can encourage the lost to work through their questions surrounding the gospel.

John 7:1-10 / The Feast of the Tabernacles is approaching, a big day on the Jewish calendar where a pilgrimage is made to Jerusalem to participate in a seven day celebration. Jesus has been residing in his hometown of Galilee for a season, where is family lives. In today’s sermon, Jesus’ brothers deceitfully and doubtfully try and tempt him to go to Jerusalem and establish himself as the leader he claims to be. Jesus rejects their advancements, but why? And what can be learned from Jesus about ministering to friends and family?

John 6:41-70 / As we continue looking at the motivations of the crowd that followed Jesus to Capernaum, we study Christ’s words to them; he is the bread of life and they must take of his flesh and blood in order to have eternal life. These were hard words that conveyed a simple truth about the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this sermon we learn a lot from Jesus and the way people respond to his doctrine. From this moment, some stay with Jesus but many turn away - - which reveals to us the nature of our own faith and what we truly hunger for.

John 6:22-40 / Why do you seek Jesus? In our story the multitudes venture to find Jesus, and when they discover him in Capernaum, Christ confronts them and reveals their true motives. What we find is that they were more interested in having their hunger satisfied than they were in having their souls satisfied. Join us as we ask ourselves hard questions about what motivates us to find Jesus? Do we desire to serve him or would we prefer he bless and serve us?

John 6:15-21 / After the large crowds and excitement, Jesus and his disciples are ready for a break. As Jesus retreats to the mountains to rest and pray, he sends his disciples across the sea of Galilee with the intention that they meet him in Bethsaida. As the disciples sail, they find themselves in a storm that has them afraid and fighting for their lives. In our greatest moments of trial and fear we often forget all the miracles that Christ has done; we forget that he sees, he hears and he knows.

John 6:1-14 / Jesus and the disciples find themselves back in Galilee, but this time a crowd of five thousand people have gathered together to hear him teach. But the multitude began to grow hungry and they need a plan for feeding them. As Jesus engages with his disciples over this matter, we observe a series of character qualities that not only make Christ spectacular in his kindness, but teach us invaluable principles for ministry and leadership.
