In this sermon, we join the disciples in the Upper Room just as panic sets in—Judas has left, Jesus is leaving, and Peter is about to fail. Into this chaos, Jesus offers a powerful cure for anxiety. He doesn't give them a map or a 5-step plan; He gives them a Person. Discover why trusting Jes...

"And it was night." In this sermon on John 13:18-38, we witness the darkest moment in the Upper Room as Judas leaves to betray Jesus.

Yet, in the middle of this betrayal and weakness, Jesus gives a command that changes history: "Love one another as I have loved you." Join us as we ex...
The Towel and the Basin: True Greatness | John 13:1-17 05.01.2026 39:30

The Tragedy of Unbelief | John 12:37-50 15.12.2025 38:15

In John 12, Jesus has performed undeniable signs—even raising the dead—yet the people still refuse to believe. In this sermon, we explore the frightening reality that unbelief is rarely an intellect problem; it is an appetite problem. Join us as we look at the danger of a hardened heart and th...
The Hour Has Come: The Turning Point | John 12:20-36 15.12.2025 42:50

Worth It All: The Cost of True Devotion - John 12:1-19 15.12.2025 40:00

Life From Death - John 11:38-57 25.11.2025 41:25
This week, we're looking at the moment that changes everything: Jesus commands, and Lazarus walks out of the tomb. It is the most public, undeniable demonstration of His power over death. But the reaction is what's truly staggering. This ultimate sign doesn't lead to universal praise; it splits the world in two. For some, it is the final, irrefutable proof that leads to belief. For the...

We all have moments where our prayers feel like they're hitting the ceiling. We face an urgent crisis, but God feels distant and silent. We'll see how Jesus's delay isn't a sign of His indifference, but a powerful part of His plan, and discover a God who not only has power over death but also weeps with us in our pain.

The Weight of Evidence | John 5:31-47 16.07.2025 44:50
