John 14:1-6 NLT“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. BREAK  Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. BREAK And you know the way to where I am going.” “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” BREAKJesus told him, “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one can come to the Father except through me.

In this life, there are endless opportunities for offense and anger. Hurting people hurt people, and it can be easier to try and protect ourselves from this hurt rather than engage it from a place of love. However, when we understand our place in Christ—how much He loves us, and how that affects our identity—our love for people comes from a deeper place. In this message, we learn that there’s a direct connection between how we love people and how people experience God. Lean in as we learn what it looks like to love each other, and ourselves, from a higher understanding of the Gospel.    The Higher Order of Love | Victory ChurchPastor Dennis RouseScripture | John 13:31-35 NIVOctober 4, 2026

Popular culture tells us that being served is the ultimate signal of honor. The higher we climb on the social ladder, the more we subconsciously seek to be served. But the King of Heaven turned that culture dynamic on it’s head. From washing the feet of the disciples, to His commitment to the cross for our redemption, God in the flesh used His power to become the greatest servant. Jesus—who was fully God, and fully man—intentionally served those He loved. And because He did, we can too! Tune in and learn the power behind true service.  Titles and Towels | Victory ChurchPastor Dan LianScripture | John 13:19-28 NIVSeptember 27, 2026

Jesus came so that we could have life to the fullest, but it comes at a cost: dying to our old, sinful ways of living. Because of His death, each of us has the opportunity to experience the gift of new life in Him! In this sermon, we explore some of the major roadblocks that weigh us down and keep us from fully surrendering to Christ, and we reflect on all that we gain when we finally choose surrender. If you're struggling to give God every part of your heart and mind, or you need encouragement for the journey as a fully committed disciple of Christ, this message is for you. The Path to a Glorious Life | Victory Church Pastor Johnson Bowie Scripture | John 12:19-28 NIV September 20, 2026

We were made to worship—but we each get to choose who or what we deem worthy of our attention. The list of options is endless; whether it's money, sex, sports, or family, there are countless things battling for our affections. In each of our souls, there's a God-sized void that only He can truly satisfy. If you've spent your time pursuing something that's left you feeling empty, anxious, and hungry for more, tune into this sermon to discover the kind of worship you were really created for. And, if you've ever wanted to worship God but felt unsure on how, this sermon is for you too! What Is Worship?  | Victory Church Pastor Johnson Bowie Scripture | John 12:1-8 NIV September 13, 2026

Some things in our lives feel too far gone. For some, it’s a dream you’ve buried, a relationship you’ve given up on, or maybe it’s the heartbreaking loss of loved one. Navigating loss—and the grief that follows—is never easy. In this sermon, we look at how Jesus enters the pain of the people He loved, not from a distance, but weeping right alongside them—even as He knew the miracle to come. Whether you're waiting on God's timing, wrestling with loss, or unsure what happens when your own flesh fails, tune in and be assured—because of Jesus, death will never have the final word. You Will Never Die  | Victory Church Pastor Johnson Bowie Scripture | John 11:1-45 NIV September 6, 2026

We all were born into sin and as a result, walking corpses. Our spirit man bearing a stark resemblance to Lazarus in the tomb. But by God's grace, once we accept the beautiful gift of salvation, we are raised to new life through Christ. Still, even after receiving this gift, it's tempting to wrap ourselves back up in the old life we left behind, one that only brings decay. Whether you feel like you're dancing on your grave or trying to climb out of the hole you've found yourself in, tune in for hope, encouragement, and a call to choose life over death as we wait on God's good promises for those who live fully surrendered to Him.   Bye-Bye Grave Clothes!  | Victory Church Bishop Dale C. Bronner Scripture | John 11:38-44 NKJV  August 30, 2026

At first glance, faith and grief may seem like opposites. When life doesn’t go the way we plan, we can either be swallowed up by our emotions or refuse to feel them at all. But what if there was a third option? Whether we try to muscle through our disappointment or become completely overwhelmed by it, we serve a Savior who is well acquainted with grief at every stage. Living in this broken world means navigating the tension between what we feel and what we know to be true—but we never have to do it alone. In today’s message, learn what it means to run to Jesus even when the miracle doesn’t look like what we thought.   When God Doesn’t Do What You Expect | Victory Church Pastor Curvine Brewington Scripture | John 11:1-6, 17-21 NLT August 23, 2026

One thing we can always rely on—we have a God who speaks! Notifications, updates, news, rumors, and voices claiming wisdom can capture our attention, but above all the noise, there is a Good Shepherd who wants to walk with us through this life. From the biggest decisions we have to make to our smallest insecurities, we can always rely on the voice of God to guide us. In this message, learn what it means to tune your ear to His trustworthy voice…and how listening to Him can change your life forever. How to Hear God’s Voice | Victory Church Pastor Johnson Bowie Scripture | John 9:1-34 NIV August 16, 2026

We were all born into sin, blind to our need for a Savior. In this sermon, we unpack Jesus' encounter with a man who had been blind from birth. Just as that man received his sight, encountering Jesus and accepting His gift of salvation allows us to step out of darkness and into His light—a light that changes us forever! Tune in for encouragement to share the good news of what God has done in your life with a world still blinded by darkness. The Blind Will See | Victory Church Pastor Dennis Rouse Scripture | John 9:1-34 NIV August 9, 2026

Are you living in true freedom? Our world prizes knowledge, resources, and autonomy. While those things may make life easier for a time, they can never offer the freedom our souls crave. True freedom is found when our belief in Jesus inspires surrender to His way of life. Obedience to Christ doesn’t limit our freedom—it leads us into the life we were created to live. As you engage with this week's message, consider this: Jesus isn't looking for belief that stays in your head. He invites a faith that transforms your life from the inside out. The Truth Will Set You Free | Victory Church Pastor Johnson Bowie Scripture | John 8:30-36 ESV August 3, 2026

The faith of Christians around the world rises and falls on the answer to one question: “Is Jesus God?” For thousands of years, this debate has remained at the center of intellectual and religious conversations. Many admit that Jesus existed, and some even say He was a great prophet, but whether or not He is God has implications within church circles and beyond. In this sermon, we explore what Jesus said and did to prove that He was, in fact, God, and why that is beautiful news for you, me, and everyone around you.   Jesus Is God | Victory ChurchPastor Johnson BowieScripture | John 8:48-59 NIVJuly 26, 2026

Each of us has fallen short. As humans, it's part of our natural, broken nature. Jesus knows better than anyone what our hearts are capable of. And when a group of religious leaders tried to corner Him to discredit His pure nature of holiness, He set the record straight—not by condemning the accused, but by extending grace. In this sermon, encounter the heart of Christ, who wants each of us to receive the mercy, forgiveness, and freedom He offers from sin and shame.

Transformation doesn’t just happen overnight—it’s the daily decisions that bear the fruit of true lifelong change. True change is what God wants for each of us, and—if we allow Him to work—He’s on mission to make sure that happens. Tune in to this sermon to find ways—both practical and profound—that we can engage with the Holy Spirit as He gives us the wisdom, courage, and faith we need to step into the new and good things He has for us.

Have you ever wondered what it means to truly follow Jesus—not just believe in Him? This week we sit in a moment when the crowds walked away from Jesus, and even His closest friends questioned if they could stay. This isn't about perfect faith—it's about an imperfectly surrendered heart and a Savior worth staying for. Tune in to discover the difference between a believer and a true disciple.
