What kind of king are you hoping for? Advent reminds us we often long for strength and victory—but Jesus arrives on a donkey. This week, we consider how He draws us through humility, not force.
To prepare our hearts for the Christmas season, we wrote an Advent devotional guide for you, your family and your LifeGroup to work through during this season.

Key scripture: John 11:1-44
As tension heats up between Jesus and the Jewish leaders, a close friend of Jesus’ falls gravely ill and dies. Jesus responds to the suffering of his close friends by raising Lazarus from the dead, and this event seals the fate of Jesus.

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 26, 2025.
Key scripture: John 8:12-38

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 19, 2025.
Key scripture: John 7:1–52
Jesus never leaves us neutral. In John 7, as crowds argue and brothers doubt, Jesus steps into the tension with truth that demands a response. He’s either crazy, deceptive—or the Christ. What are we going to do with him?

Sermon by Jake Blair on September 28, 2025.
Key scripture: John 4:1-30, 4:39

Key scripture: John 3:1-21
What if your biggest problem isn’t what’s happening to you—but what’s happening inside you? Jesus tells Nicodemus that the solution isn’t more self-effort or more rules. It’s being born again.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on September 14, 2025.

Sermon by Adam Gibson on September 7, 2025.

Sermon by Jake Blair on August 31, 2025.
Key scripture: John 1:35–51
Jesus’ first disciples didn’t just believe in Him—they followed Him. This message invites us to consider how our own lives are always being discipled by something, and what it would mean to follow Jesus as our true Rabbi.
Sermon by Jon Ludovina on August 24, 2025.
Key scripture: John 1:6–8, 19–34 & 3:22–30
We are often tempted to find our identity, purpose and meaning either in others or in our selves. But John the Baptist’s message echoes: Jesus must increase, and I must decrease. This sermon invites us into a radically freeing humility that finds identity and purpose by centering our lives, not on others or our selves but on Christ.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on August 17, 2025.
Key scripture: John 1:1-5, 14 & 20:30-31
The book of John is a firsthand account from one of Jesus’ closest friends—someone who walked with Him, heard His voice, saw His miracles, stood at the cross, and ran to the empty tomb — so that “you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (John 20:30).
At its heart, the Gospel of John invites us not only to know the facts about Jesus but to encounter His love in a way that changes how we see ourselves, our purpose, and the world around us.
Sermon by Chet Phillips on August 6, 2023.
In our final week of the series, we look at Luke 11:37-44, Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees. In their time and place, the Pharisees were considered good guys. And yet, Jesus says their hearts are far from him. So what does Jesus have to say to us in this encounter?
Sermon by Brandon Clements on July 30, 2023.
This week we look at Matthew 19:27-20:16, where Peter essentially asks Jesus, “Is following you truly worth it?” This is a question we may have asked at some point in our journey of faith. We can easily play the comparison game, or we go through a season of suffering, or life doesn’t turn out how we thought it would. So what does Jesus have to say to us?
Sermon by Jon Ludovina on July 23, 2023.
This week we look at John 11, where Jesus meets Mary and Martha in their grief over their brother Lazarus’ death. So how does Jesus meet them in their pain, and how does Jesus meet us in ours?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on July 16, 2023.
This week we look at John 20, where Jesus encounters Thomas. In this passage, Thomas doubts Jesus' resurrection, and Jesus meets him in his doubt. So what does this passage mean for us when we wrestle with doubt?
