Born To Witness | John 5:30-47

This message explores John 5:30–47, where Jesus explains that his mission is not about seeking human approval but about doing the will of the Father. He points to multiple witnesses—John the Baptist, his miraculous works, the Father’s own testimony, and the Scriptures themselves—that all confirm his authority and identity. Yet the religious leaders, despite their deep study of Scripture, missed its true purpose: to point to Jesus. This message stresses that this was not just a theological debate but a matter of eternal life, showing the danger of valuing human praise over God’s truth. It’s possible to know the words of Scripture yet miss the Word made flesh standing right in front of us.

The application highlights the importance of letting Scripture lead us to Christ rather than merely adding to our knowledge. The message calls believers to evaluate whether they are living for the approval of people or for the glory of God, because only one leads to life. Just as the religious leaders were blinded by pride and self-glory, we too can miss Jesus if we use faith as a way to elevate ourselves instead of surrendering to him. Ultimately, the challenge is to not just search the Scriptures but to allow them to transform us, leading us to love, trust, and follow Christ wholeheartedly.

Timing is Everything | John 7:1-9

In John 7, Jesus’ brothers urged him to prove himself publicly, but he responded, “My time has not yet come,” teaching that God’s timing and ways are wiser than our own. The message reminds us that when God doesn’t act on our timeline, we should replace worry with work, trust him in the waiting, and worship by remembering his past faithfulness.

John 1:19-28

This message continues the deep dive into the Gospel of John, emphasizing the book’s purpose—to reveal Jesus as the Christ so that by believing, people may have life in His name...

The Pruning Process | John 15:1-5

This message focuses on Jesus’ bold statement in John 15: “I am the vine; you are the branches,” teaching that true life and purpose come only from staying connected to Him. To “abide” means to remain close and surrendered to Jesus, letting His way shape our character and actions. It reminds us that God’s pruning—removing selfishness, bitterness, and other spiritual disease—is not punishment but preparation for greater fruitfulness. We are called to trust the pruning process, stay with Jesus, and let His life flow through us so we can grow stronger in faith.
