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.

Pricey Perfume | John 12:1-8

Pricey Perfume | John 12:1-8

This message reflects on Mary’s act of anointing Jesus with expensive perfume, a year’s wages’ worth, as an expression of total devotion and worship. Her boldness contrasts with Judas’s selfish response, reminding us that our actions reveal the posture of our hearts. The message calls us to make God’s priorities our own—loving, serving, giving, and standing on truth. Like Mary, we are invited to “spray our pricey perfume” by surrendering what is valuable to us and living lives that visibly show we love Jesus.

The Legend of Lazarus Part 2 | John 11:38-44

The Legend of Lazarus Part 2 | John 11:38-44

This message reflects on the story of Lazarus as a powerful sign of Jesus’ authority over death and a call to trust Him even when it seems unreasonable. It highlights Martha’s obedience in rolling away the stone and uses it as a picture of the faith required to act on God’s word despite fear or doubt. The message challenges listeners to let their faith cost them something—through patience, forgiveness, generosity, and integrity—turning belief into action. It closes by reminding us that salvation is free, but following Jesus means daily surrender and living with purpose.

The Legend of Lazarus Part 1 | John 11:1-35

The Legend of Lazarus Part 1 | John 11:1-35

This message teaches that Jesus’ delay in raising Lazarus shows us that faith is strengthened through waiting and testing, so that God’s glory and the truth of who Jesus is may be revealed more fully in our lives.
