John 7:25-52 · Isaiah 12:2-3

Am I Wrong About Jesus?
Jesus claims to be the source of spiritual life during the Feast of Tabernacles, offering living water that surpasses ceremonial religion. The sermon invites believers to recognize Jesus as God's chosen one and to share that life with others.
Mark 10:28-45 · John 17:24
Leadership
Biblical Leadership
Real leadership, contrary to worldly expectations, is found in serving others without seeking personal reward or recognition. Jesus models true greatness through sacrificial service rather than the pursuit of power.
John 8:1-11
Difficult Choice
Forgiveness is difficult but essential for followers of Jesus. By examining the story of the woman caught in adultery, this sermon shows that true forgiveness flows from recognizing our own sinfulness and extending to others the mercy God has shown us.
John 9:1-41
John
Do You Really See?
Jesus heals a blind man to reveal spiritual blindness in those who refuse to recognize him as Messiah. The religious leaders miss the sign because they trust their own wisdom rather than seeking God's truth.
John 6:41-59 · Exodus 3
John
Eat and Live
Jesus is the bread of life who offers eternal spiritual sustenance, not merely temporal provision. Followers must consume Jesus—trust him completely—to experience real life in every circumstance.

Deuteronomy
Honesty and the Promise of God

How Do We Know We Have the Spirit?
The Spirit's presence is known not through emotions but through objective evidence: God's promises, desire for holiness, obedience to God, and the fruit of the Spirit. Faith in baptism assures believers they have received the Spirit.
Galatians 3:1-5 · Romans 8:9
How Do We Receive the Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is given to all Christians at baptism through faith in Christ, not through works or special deeds. There is no distinction in how or when believers receive the Spirit—all drink equally from the one Spirit.
John 14:16 · John 14:26
Jesus' Teaching on the Spirit
This sermon examines Jesus' teaching on the Spirit's work through John 14–16, emphasizing that the Spirit's primary function is to glorify Christ and bear witness to truth, not to draw attention to emotional experiences or inner promptings.
Acts 20:17 · Acts 20:25-31
Leadership
Leadership Words
This sermon examines the biblical Greek words for church leaders—elder, overseer, shepherd, and deacon—to recover a servant-leadership model grounded in first-century meaning rather than modern business structures.
John 11:1-44
John
Life Wins!!
Jesus demonstrates his power over death by raising Lazarus, calling believers to trust him even when God's work doesn't match their expectations. Death has lost its sting; life wins.
John 5:16-30
Like Father, Like Son
Jesus claims equality with God by testifying that he possesses the Father's power to give life and judge, and operates fully within God's will. Believers are called to respond in faith rather than skepticism.
John 13:1-38
John
Love's Full Demonstration
Jesus commands his disciples to love one another as he has loved them—authentically, sacrificially, and with humble service. When we recognize that life is about God's glory rather than our own, we become channels of Christ's transformative love to a divided world.
John 5:1-15
Poolside
Jesus heals a lame man at Bethesda, revealing his power over the Sabbath, yet the man demonstrates cheap faith—showing no gratitude, no joy, and ultimately betraying Jesus to the religious leaders.
John 12:1-11
Priorities

John 14:15-31
John
Real Peace
Jesus calls his disciples to demonstrate their love through obedience to his commands, assuring them that the Holy Spirit will empower them and grant them peace even in his absence.
John 1:19-34 · Malachi 4:0-0
John
The Chosen One
John the Baptist testifies that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. His humble witness, grounded in eyewitness experience and God's sign, challenges listeners to surrender their lives to Christ.
John 16:5-15
John
The Counselor
The Holy Spirit's primary work is to point people to Jesus, not to draw attention to himself. Like behind-the-scenes workers who find joy in enabling others to shine, the Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—all to glorify Christ.
John 20:31 · Acts 2:32-33
The Holy Spirit and the Miraculous
While miracles served God's purposes in Scripture—confirming Jesus and fulfilling prophecy—they are no longer needed or valid today because the final revelation has come, no qualified persons remain to perform them, and believers should trust Scripture rather than demand supernatural signs.
John 17:1-26 · Acts 5:41
John
The Mission
Jesus prayed for himself, his disciples, and future believers before his crucifixion, modeling a life lived with clear mission and purpose. Believers are called to live their own mission for God with joy and holiness, serving as light in an unholy world.
John 4:31-42
John
The Savior
Jesus reveals himself as the Savior of the world, calling his disciples to recognize their greater purpose in doing God's will and engaging in spiritual harvest rather than pursuing temporal security.
John 3:1-15
John
The Testimony of Birth
Spiritual rebirth requires God's initiative through water and Spirit, transforming us to exalt Jesus above all else. True conversion involves not mere physical ritual but a heart changed by God's Spirit.
John 1:1-13
John
The Word
This sermon examines John's opening claims that Jesus is the eternal Word—God in the flesh, creator of all life and light. Those who believe receive the gift of becoming God's children, not through human effort but through God's gracious action.
1 Timothy 3:8-16
1 Timothy
Traits of Deacons
This sermon examines Paul's character requirements for deacons, showing that while deacons and overseers have different functions (serving versus managing), they must possess the same godly character traits including integrity, self-control, and commitment to truth.
