Jesus and the Island of Misfit Toys

Jesus and the Island of Misfit Toys

This message reveals that Jesus’ family tree is an “island of misfit toys,” filled with broken, imperfect people, showing that God works through human messiness to bring redemption. It reminds us that humility and obedience—not status or perfection—are what God uses, and that nothing in our past can keep us from His love.

Hail Mary and Ladybugs

Hail Mary and Ladybugs

This message uses Mary’s response to God’s unexpected plan to show that true godliness is humility and surrender—recognizing who God is, who we are, and trusting Him even when life doesn’t make sense. It challenges us to respond to every season by remembering what God has done, learning what He is teaching us, and choosing obedience with a heart that says, “God, I am yours.”

Candy Canes and Prophecies

Candy Canes and Prophecies

This message reveals that the Christmas story, though familiar, is actually a miraculous fulfillment of prophecies spoken 600 years before Jesus’ birth, showing that only God could orchestrate something so statistically impossible. It reminds us that the true spirit of the season is Emmanuel, God with us, and calls us to anchor our hope in Jesus, the Savior who came to make a way for us.

Gratitude That Lasts Longer Than Leftovers

Gratitude That Lasts Longer Than Leftovers

This message calls us to live with daily gratitude—not just on Thanksgiving—by choosing thankfulness in every circumstance and recognizing God’s goodness in all seasons. Using the story of the ten lepers, it reminds us that true gratitude turns our hearts back to Jesus, reshapes our perspective, and overflows into worship, generosity, and everyday faith.

Perspective

Perspective

This message teaches that we often see life through a small, limited perspective, but God sees the full widescreen picture—just as shown through Joseph’s story, where years of hardship were part of a bigger plan for good. It challenges us to trust God even when we don’t understand, believing He is working behind the scenes in every season.

Hope | John 20:30-31

Hope | John 20:30-31

This message concludes the Gospel of John by showing that Jesus’ death and resurrection are the foundation of Christian hope—His “It is finished” completed the work we could never do, and His empty tomb proves God’s power over death. It calls us to believe, reminding us that because Jesus truly lived, died, and rose again, we can have life in His name and hope that changes everything.

Horse Trading | John 18:28-40

Horse Trading | John 18:28-40

This message reflects on Jesus’ trial before Pilate, showing how humanity still trades God’s truth for personal comfort or desire—just as the crowd chose Barabbas over Jesus. It challenges us not to “horse trade” with God but to trust His truth and choose what our souls need most over what our feelings want now.

Just Like Riding A Bike | John 16:16-33

Just Like Riding A Bike | John 16:16-33

This message reflects on Jesus’ words in John 16, where He tells His disciples He will leave and then return, offering peace even as He promises trouble. It reminds us that while problems are guaranteed, peace is found only through surrender to Jesus—trusting Him not just with eternity, but with every part of life.

The Pruning Process | John 15:1-5

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.

If You Love Me… | John 14:15-21

If You Love Me… | John 14:15-21

This message centers on Jesus’ words in John 14:15 — “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” — showing that true love for Him is revealed through obedience. Spoken during the Last Supper, these words remind us that loving God means making His priorities, concerns, and purposes our own. The message challenges believers to examine whether there’s visible evidence of their love for Jesus in their daily lives. When we preserve His teachings and live them out, God’s love shines through us for others to see.

The Service Effect | John 13:1-20

The Service Effect | John 13:1-20

This message reminds us that Jesus calls His followers to humble, sacrificial service—loving others just as He loved us. By washing even Judas’ feet, Jesus shows that true discipleship means serving without conditions. When we pick up the towel in our daily lives, we reflect His heart to the world around us.

Fans, Foes & Followers | John 12:12-19

Fans, Foes & Followers | John 12:12-19

This message focuses on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, marking the start of His final week and declaring Him as King. It highlights the three groups present—fans, foes, and true followers—and challenges listeners to move from being spectators to committed followers who obey Jesus even when it costs them. Jesus’ choice to enter Jerusalem despite the danger shows His deep compassion, love in action, for humanity. The message calls us to make Him King over every part of life and live in a way that points others to Him.
