    John 3:1-17 is about being reborn in Christ and recognizing Jesus as the only authority who has gone up to heaven. This truth unfolds in three parts: Waking up to Spiritual Reality, Giving in to God's Change, and Holding on to Jesus.

    Nicodemus was a big deal, a religious leader. But he was curious about Jesus, so he came to Him at night. Jesus told him something wild: to see God's kingdom, you have to be born again. It's like waking up to a whole new level of reality, a spiritual one. To see God's kingdom, you have to be born ...read more

     | 60 views

    This sermon portrays Jesus as the "Living Stone" who, though rejected by the world, is God's chosen foundation, calling believers to be "lively stones" built together into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood.

    Introduction: A New Kind of Building In the natural world, stones are cold, hard, and dead. They are the ultimate symbols of inanimate objects. However, Peter uses a startling paradox to describe the church: he speaks of a building made of living stones. This passage moves us from the individual ...read more

    Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.

    Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats.

     | 121 views

    True victory in life’s battles comes through prayer and relying on God’s spiritual weapons, surrendering every thought to Christ rather than fighting in our own strength.

    Some battles thunder. Others whisper. Some arrive like a storm front on the horizon. Others slip in through the crack beneath the door, like worry, like weariness, like the what-ifs that wake us at 2:13 a.m. You know those skirmishes, don’t you? The ones between your ears and behind your ribs. The ...read more

    Good morning, friends. I’m so glad we get to sit under the kindness of Jesus together today.
