    Living Sacrifice Youth Sermon

    based on 4 ratings
     | 949 views

    When we give our lives to Christ, we surrender control and embrace His way. We become citizens of heaven and new creations, sacrificing everything for the sake of the gospel.

    Today, we're going to talk about what it means to live as people who've been saved. We're not just supposed to say "thanks" and move on. We're supposed to live differently. Imagine you've got a brand new phone. It's the latest model, super shiny, and it's all yours. But instead of using it, you ...read more

    John 8:2-11 The Stone Dropped: How Jesus Turned A Legal Trap Into A Call For Self-Examination

    Contributed by Ellick Wu on Jan 6, 2026
     | 181 views

    Now we come to study John 8:2-11. A familiar story about “The Woman Caught in Adultery” and the well-known phrase, “He who is without sin throws the first stone.” Let’s explore the Hypocrisy in the Temple that day, and challenge the judgmental spirit alive in our world today.

    Imagine the scene: The temple court is quiet, filled with people eager to hear Jesus teach. But the peace is about to shatter. Suddenly, a group of powerful religious leaders storms in, dragging a terrified woman to the center. They haven't come for justice; they've come to set a trap. They ...read more
