Living God Church

In Week 13 of our Believe series, we begin John chapter 4 and encounter one of the most powerful moments in Jesus’ ministry—the Samaritan woman at the well. Here, we see Jesus cross cultural, racial, and religious barriers to meet an outcast searching for hope, and we discover the heart of the gospel: no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace! Through the promise of “living water,” this message re...

In Week 12 of our Believe series, we finish John chapter 3 by exploring John the Baptist’s powerful response when his disciples become concerned about Jesus’ growing influence. Through the famous declaration, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” we discover a timeless truth: the Christian life is not about building our own platform—it is about exalting Jesus above all else.! This message chall...

Why did the Holy Spirit come at Pentecost? While the Spirit works within believers to comfort, teach, and transform them, Pentecost reveals another purpose: empowerment for the harvest. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would come upon His people so they could be His witnesses. This message explores God's heart for the harvest, the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, and the invitation for beli...

In John 3, Jesus reveals the heart of the Gospel to Nicodemus: God so loved the world that He gave His Son. This message explores the depth of God’s love, the purpose of Christ being lifted up, and the invitation extended to all who are willing to come to Him. Salvation is not earned through effort or religious performance—it is received through faith in the One who was given for us!

In John 3, Nicodemus comes to Jesus recognizing that something about Him is different—but Jesus immediately confronts him with a deeper truth: religion, knowledge, and morality are not enough. A person must be born again. This message explores the necessity of spiritual rebirth, the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, and humanity’s inability to save or cleanse itself apart from Christ. Jesus di...

In John 3, Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night searching for answers—but Jesus immediately points him to a deeper reality: seeing the kingdom requires more than observation. It requires transformation. This message explores Christ’s call to be “born again,” the work of the Holy Spirit in making us new, and the evidence of genuine transformation in the life of a believer. Jesus didn’t come to improve...

This week, we dive back into our Believe series in the gospel of John. In John 2, Jesus performs His first sign—but not for the crowds. He reveals Himself fito His disciples. The water pots used for ceremonial cleansing point to something deeper: our inability to make ourselves clean. And in their place, Jesus provides something new—wine, pointing to the true cleansing that comes through Him.

After one year of God’s faithfulness, this message carries a clear and hopeful reminder: there’s more. “There’s More” calls us beyond complacency and into deeper pursuit of Christ. No matter what we’ve experienced, learned, or seen God do so far—He is not finished. There is more growth, more surrender, more transformation, and more of His presence ahead. This message invites us to resist settling...

As Living God Church celebrates one year, this message calls us back to a foundational question: Whose way are we really following? “Going God’s Way” is a reminder that the Christian life is not about convenience, preference, or cultural alignment—it’s about surrender! God’s way often runs counter to our instincts, but it is always right, always good, and always leads to life. As we reflect on wha...

We celebrate Resurrection Sunday by wrestling with the question: Is Christ risen? For many, the answer feels obvious— of course He’s risen. But how do you know? This question is the linchpin of Christianity. The early church didn’t just believe it—they staked their lives on the truth that He is risen indeed. This message is both an invitation and a challenge:Do you believe it—and have you built yo...

Jesus enters Jerusalem as King—welcomed with celebration, palm branches, and shouts of victory. But this King isn’t riding to a throne. He’s riding to a cross. On Palm Sunday, we see the true mission of Christ: to free His people from the bondage of sin—through power that looks like suffering. The victory parade leads to sacrifice, and through His death, we are redeemed. This is the King who conqu...

In John 13, as Jesus moves toward the cross, He makes a startling declaration: “Now is the Son of Man glorified.” Not after the resurrection. Not after the victory. Now—in the betrayal, in the suffering, in the path to the cross. This message explores a difficult but essential truth: God’s glory is not only revealed in triumph, but also in suffering. The cross doesn’t just lead to glory—it is glor...

In Matthew 16, the moment the disciples confess that Jesus is the Christ, He immediately turns their attention to something unexpected: His cross. This message centers on a foundational truth of the Christian faith: Christ cannot be separated from His cross. From the beginning of belief to the entirety of the Christian life, the cross is not just the entry point—it is the central focus. The cross...

This week in Believe , Jesus calls some of His first disciples — intentionally pursuing those He loves. But the passage culminates with an even greater revelation. Referring back to Jacob’s ladder in Genesis, Jesus declares that He is the connection between heaven and earth—the One through whom God comes to His people and His people come to God. The message of the Gospel is beautifully simple: Jes...

Are you following Jesus? This week we dive back into John 1 to see the fascinating story of two men who just want to be with Jesus. When they see Him, they follow Him. And stayed with Him. Before there were miracles, sermons, or crowds, there was just time spent with Him. Discipleship begins not with activity, but with abiding. So the question remains: Are you simply curious about Jesus — or are y...

In Week 4 of our Believe series through the Gospel of John, we return to John 1 and the powerful testimony of John the Baptist: “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” Israel expected a conquering Lion. Instead, God sent a Lamb. This message explores the humility of John—“I am not… but He is”—and the humility of Christ, who conquered not by force, but by the cross. Jesus did...

In Week 3 of our Believe series through the Gospel of John, we explore one of the most powerful descriptions of Jesus in all of Scripture: He is full of grace and truth. In a world that often separates truth from love—harsh truth without compassion, or soft grace without conviction—Jesus embodies both perfectly. He does not compromise truth, and He does not withhold grace. In Christ, we see the fu...

What does it really mean to believe? In Week 2 of our Believe series, we see that biblical faith isn’t blind — it’s grounded in the person of Jesus. John the Baptist came to point to the Light, and we’re reminded that salvation is not about performance, routine, or religious effort. Those who receive Christ are given the right to become children of God — born not by human will, but by God Himself....

What do you believe about Jesus? In the opening message of our new series Believe, Pastor Jon Popp walks us verse by verse through John 1:1–5, inviting us to see Jesus as He truly is—not merely a good teacher or moral example, but the eternal Word, fully God, present at creation, and the source of all life and light! This message explores Christ’s divine identity, His role as Creator, and His powe...

If God has called us to go… how are we supposed to do it? In this message, Pastor Brandon concludes the mini series on the Journey by answering the most pressing question of discipleship: how do ordinary believers carry out God’s mission without fear, burnout, or striving? Drawing from Luke 19 and the Parable of the Minas, this message reveals that what God assigns, He also empowers! This sermon r...

The Christian life was never meant to stop with us. In Pursue the Journey , Pastor Brandon calls the church to recover the outward movement of the gospel — the call to go and invite others into the same grace, goodness, and life we’ve received in Christ. This message challenges a comfortable, inward-focused faith and reminds believers that following Jesus always leads us toward people, not away fr...

What do you do when you’re exhausted—not from doing the wrong thing, but from faithfully doing what God asked? In this message, we're reminded that if we're still standing, there's more journey—and assignment—ahead for us! But we're also reminded: the journey ahead is too great for us in our own strength. If you’re entering a new season feeling tired, stretched, or unsure how you’l...

What really happens in the waters of baptism? In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through Romans 6 and unpacks the profound spiritual reality of baptism—not as a mere symbol, but as a Holy Spirit–empowered encounter where believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. This teaching reveals baptism as a moment where the old life is buried, sin’s power is broken, and believers are...

In the final message of our Beloved series, Pastor Brandon walks us through the closing verses of 1 John and reminds us of the secure, unshakeable confidence we have as God’s children. When life feels unstable and the world is loud, Scripture teaches us that we can know — not guess, not hope, not assume — but know that we belong to God. This message calls us to live with assurance, pray with boldn...

In this week’s message from the Beloved series, we open 1 John 5 to show what it truly means to be born of God. John connects three essential marks of genuine faith: loving God, loving God’s people, and obeying God’s commands. But John doesn’t stop there — he gives believers a staggering promise: those who are born of God overcome the world. Not because of our strength, discipline, or spiritual ef...
