Mary held nothing back. She poured out what was precious to her at the feet of Jesus—an extravagant act of complete surrender. Judas saw waste. Mary saw Jesus as worth everything. What are we holding back from Jesus?

Jesus is the resurrection and the life.That means dead things don’t have to stay dead. In Jesus, there is resurrection power—the power to bring hope where there’s despair, life where there’s death, and newness where we’ve given up.We need the resurrection power of Jesus.

What if you don’t believe the words of Jesus?Jesus says, “Believe the works” (John 10:38). His works testify to who He is, so that we may know and understand that the Father is in Him and He is in the Father.Jesus doesn’t just ask us to believe blindly. Look at what He has done—and let His works point you to the Father.

In this sermon we cover three responses Christians have to primary challenges in their life. How do we respond to suffering, spiritual opposition, and the gospel?

Who's your daddy? That's the question Jesus wants the Jews to answer. They claim Abraham as their father but they act like sons of the devil. Jesus claims God to be His father but they say He has a demon. It's time to set the record straight.

What does it really mean to be free? Jesus tells us in John 8:31-38 that true freedom isn’t found in doing whatever we want. It’s found in knowing the truth—and the truth is found in Him. Sin promises freedom but ultimately makes us slaves. Jesus offers something completely different: freedom from sin and the life that comes from abiding in His Word.

At the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus stood before the crowd and made an incredible invitation: Come to Me. He wasn't offering temporary relief—He was offering living water that would overflow from the lives of those who believe in Him through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Is Jesus really who He says He is?The crowd in John 7 thought they had Jesus figured out. They knew where He was from. They had their assumptions. Their opinions. Their arguments.But knowing about Jesus isn't the same as knowing Him.The greatest obstacle to faith isn't always a lack of information—it can be the confidence that we've already made up our minds. Jesus invites us to move beyond assumptions and encounter Him for who He truly is.The question isn't whether you've heard of Jesus.The question is: Do you know Him?

John 7:24 starts out, "do not judge" but the verse does not end there. Jesus tells his audience not to judge based off of appearance but to judge them rightly. We find the wisdom to judge rightly when we have surrendered our will to His will and seek His glory instead of our own.

When Jesus taught about being the Bread of Life, many who had been following Him walked away. His words were too difficult. Too costly. Too confusing. But Jesus didn't soften the message to keep the crowd. Instead, He turned to the Twelve and asked, "Do you want to leave too?"Peter's response is one every believer should wrestle with:"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." In this passage we see three responses to Jesus' teachings. The flakes leave when a better offer comes around, there's a fraud hiding amongst his closest followers, and there are his friends who stick with him even when everyone else walks away

When Jesus declared, "I am the Bread of Life," He was revealing a truth far greater than physical provision. The crowds were looking for another meal, but Jesus offered something they didn't expect—a spiritual solution to humanity's deepest need.

The best place where we can be, is exactly where God leads us. That doesn't guarantee that we won't face storms in life, but Jesus will see us in those storms, meet us there, and usher us to through them.

God wants to invite people to participate in His plan for the world. Sometimes what he asks us to do feels impossible in our own way of viewing the world. When Jesus was on earth he spent time intentionally trying to show his disciples that in order to live by faith they would need to expand their way of viewing the world beyond what they thought was possible.

The Bible doesn't tell us that money is evil. It does tell us that it is the root of many evils because of how easy it is to make it the most important thing in our lives. How many evils in the world are a product of the pursuit of riches? Living doesn't mean we ignore money or run away from it, but that we see it rightly to be used for the purposes of God's kingdom.

We've all been given the gift of time on this earth. The question is, how will we spend it? As much as we may want to answer that question ourselves, the real answer is found in the life of Jesus. As he called his disciples to be fishers of men, so are we called to share the love of Jesus with others in our lives.
