Proverbs 30:24–31 shows us that even the smallest and weakest creatures overcome fear through wisdom, not strength. Like ants, conies, locusts, and spiders, we too can face the anxieties of our generation by clinging to Christ.

And at last, the story reaches its climax: the man who was once blind now sees Christ face-to-face. In that moment, we witness the relentless love of Jesus and His patient pursuit of His own. Their exchange reveals the unfolding of belief as it grows into saving faith. And it calls us to the beauty of simple worship — bowing before the Lord, the great I AM — for Jesus alone is worthy.

As the Pharisees interrogate the man healed of blindness, their hostility stands in contrast to his transformative encounter with Jesus. Their aggressive questioning doesn’t intimidate him—it emboldens him. With every challenge, his faith grows stronger until he openly identifies as a disciple. In this sermon, we’ll explore what this confrontation reveals about mankind’s resistance to Christ—and w...

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...

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...

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 i...

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.'

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.

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 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 teachin...

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.

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....

As we continue looking at the motivations of the crowd that followed Jesus to Capernaum, we study Christ’s words to the 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 th...
