We all wear masks — in church, on social media, in relationships. This message from Mark 7 challenges us to stop performing and start being real, exploring what it means to unmask our hearts and build a community where authenticity and grace go hand in hand. The post Unmasking Our Mess appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ.

When life feels overwhelming and God seems silent, what do we do? This message unpacks two encounters with Jesus in Mark 5—Jairus and the bleeding woman—showing us that faith means continuing to reach out even when we can't see the way forward. The post Faith in the Midst of Our Mess appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ.

When a Samaritan woman came to Jacob’s well expecting an ordinary day, she found Jesus already waiting. In John 4, Tony Singh traces her remarkable journey of discovery — from seeing a tired Jewish stranger to recognizing the Messiah — and asks the question Jesus posed to her: “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink…” The gospel doesn’t begin with our search for God. It begins with God coming looking for us. The post Jesus at the Well appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ.

Are you still gobsmacked by Jesus? This sermon uses Handel's Messiah as a lens to ask whether the life and love of Christ still moves us the way it moves a first-time listener. Through a rich retelling of the Prodigal Son, the message reveals a Father whose love is extravagant, reckless, and running — and challenges us to hear the symphony of love with fresh ears. The post Symphony of Love appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ.

What does it mean to truly love like Jesus? This sermon explores how authentic, self-giving love is not simply a matter of willpower or imitation, but is energized by living faith. Drawing on 1 John 3–4, Mark 9, and Psalm 23, the message challenges us to root our identity in God as adopted children and to step out in vulnerable, faith-fueled love—even toward those who hurt us.
