    Come and See Grace

    Does your worst moment have to define you? In John 8:1–11, a woman caught in adultery is brought before Jesus. Publicly accused and facing condemnation, she encounters grace and truth: “Neither do I condemn you…go now and leave your life of sin.” In “Come and See Grace,” Part 6 of our journey through the Gospel of John, we explore how Jesus responds to failure, why grace invites us to change, and what it means to extend that same grace to others. The message closes by pointing to Jesus’ sacrifice - the love behind our opportunity for forgiveness and a new beginning. Scripture: John 8:1–11 For reflection: Where do you need to receive grace, and who needs you to extend it?

    Come and See the One Who Satisfies Your Soul | John 6

    What do you reach for when your soul feels empty? After Jesus feeds the 5,000, the crowd follows Him for more bread. But Jesus invites them to see beyond their next meal and recognize who stands before them: the Bread of Life. In “Come and See the One Who Satisfies Your Soul,” we explore John 6 and the difference between temporary substitutes and the life Jesus offers. He doesn’t just provide what we need but He is what we need. Jesus’ invitation also challenges us. Will we believe, trust, and surrender when following Him becomes difficult? When many walk away, Peter’s response brings us back to the One who has the words of eternal life. Scripture: John 6 For reflection: Where are you turning to satisfy your soul?

    Come and See the Messiah | Does Jesus Have Something for Me?

    Does Jesus have something for someone like you? In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well and responds to a royal official whose son is close to death. Their circumstances are different, but both encounters reveal the Messiah’s invitation to believe. In Come and See the Messiah, Part 4 of our series through the Gospel of John, we explore how Jesus crosses barriers of prejudice, offers living water, and speaks truth that changes lives. His conversation with the woman opens up questions about our deepest needs and what it means to worship in spirit and truth. The royal official’s response challenges us to take Jesus at His word. Together, these encounters invite us to consider who Jesus is, trust Him with our needs, and share His good news with people we might otherwise overlook.

    Come and See the Savior | What Does It Mean to Believe in Jesus?

    What does it really mean to believe in Jesus? John 3:16 tells us that God loved the world and gave His Son. Those familiar words invite us to consider our own response: do we trust Jesus as Savior, and how does that trust shape our lives? In Come and See the Savior, Part 3 of our journey through the Gospel of John, we explore Jesus’ nighttime conversation with Nicodemus, His teaching about being born of water and the Spirit, and the connection to baptism and new life. We also revisit the bronze snake in Numbers 21 to understand why Jesus said He must be lifted up—pointing toward the cross and the salvation He came to bring. At the heart of this message is God’s love and an invitation to respond to Jesus with belief, trust, and surrender. Scripture: John 3; Numbers 21:4–9 This week’s reflection: What would it look like for you to trust Jesus as Savior in your everyday life?

    Come and See The Divine

    What do Jesus’ signs reveal about who He really is? In John 2, Jesus performs His first miraculous sign by turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. But this miracle addresses more than an immediate need—it reveals His glory and points toward the abundant life, true cleansing, and new covenant He came to bring. Jesus then enters the temple and overturns the tables of those misusing His Father’s house. Through this act, He demonstrates righteous zeal and divine authority while identifying His own body as the true temple that would be destroyed and raised again. In Part 2 of our Come and See series, Kyle Lounsbury explores how these events invite us to recognize Jesus’ glory, submit to His authority, and love Jesus Himself—not merely the things He can do for us. In this episode: Why John calls miracles “signs”What the wedding at Cana reveals about JesusThe meaning of the ceremonial water jarsJesus and true cleansingWhy Jesus cleared the templeRighteous zeal without compromiseJesus as the true templeMiracles versus genuine faithSeeking Jesus rather than only His blessings Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome 00:42 Campus Ministry Update 01:42 Come and See the Divine 03:27 What Is a Sign? 05:12 Reading John 2 07:35 The Wedding at Cana 08:47 Mary Trusts Jesus 10:46 Why Jesus Turned Water into Wine 13:41 Jesus Offers Something Better 15:22 Jesus Clears the Temple 17:23 A Zeal for What Is Right 18:58 Zeal Without Compromise 20:10 Jesus Is the True Temple 22:46 The Authority of Jesus 25:05 What the Signs Reveal 27:44 When the Wine Runs Out 30:36 Letting Jesus Disrupt Our Lives 33:32 Loving Jesus Beyond the Miracles 36:14 Communion and the Cross

    Who Is Jesus Really? | Come and See

    Who is Jesus really? The Gospel of John begins by presenting Jesus as more than a teacher, religious leader, or historical figure. Jesus is the eternal Word, the Creator, and the One who makes the invisible God known. In the opening message of our Come and See series, Dr. Gregg Marutzky explores John 1 and the meaning of Jesus as the Logos—the personal bridge between God and humanity. He explains the incarnation, what it means for Jesus to be full of grace and truth, and John’s invitation to believe in Jesus and receive life in His name. This series invites us to do more than know facts about Jesus. It invites us to encounter Him, believe in Him, and grow in our relationship with Him. In this episode: Why John begins differently from the other GospelsWhat it means for Jesus to be the WordHow Jesus makes God knownThe meaning of the incarnationGrace and truthBelieving and becoming children of GodThe signs and “I Am” statements in JohnWhy John wrote his Gospel Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome 00:27 Introducing Come and See 02:02 Knowing About Jesus vs. Knowing Jesus 03:41 A Little Translation Humor 07:50 Why John Begins Differently 11:26 What Does “The Word” Mean? 13:29 Jesus Makes God Known 19:57 The Word Became Flesh 22:22 Full of Grace and Truth 25:08 Believing and Becoming God’s Children 28:09 Who Is Jesus? 31:19 Signs and “I Am” Statements 32:52 Why John Wrote His Gospel 34:41 Final Blessing Click here to donate to the program Click here for more sermons OC Church of Christ

    He’s Worth It: What Is Jesus Worth to You?

    What is Jesus worth to you? In Matthew 26, two people encounter the same Jesus and respond in completely different ways. One woman pours out expensive perfume worth nearly a year's wages in an extravagant act of devotion. Judas chooses 30 pieces of silver to betray Him. What made the difference? How we view Jesus determines how we respond to Jesus. In He's Worth It, we explore the contrast between devotion and betrayal, why Judas called Jesus "Rabbi" while the disciples called Him "Lord," and the difference between simply being around Jesus and actually being close to Him. The question isn't only what Judas thought Jesus was worth. What is Jesus worth to you? We'd love to hear from you: What helps you keep Jesus at the center of your life?

    Life on the Vine: Self-control

    Why can we know the right thing to do and still struggle to do it? In the ninth and final message of Life on the Vine, Dr. Gregg Marutzky explores self-control, the final fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. Through Scripture, personal stories, humor, and research, Gregg examines why self-control matters, what gets in the way of it, and why simply trying harder isn't always enough. He looks at temptation, peer pressure, pleasure, denial, wise and foolish choices, and the relationship between God's grace and personal discipline. Rather than treating self-control as sheer human willpower, this message points toward a life shaped by God's Spirit through surrender, worship, community, prayer, fasting, and learning to deny ourselves. In this episode: Why self-control mattersWhy willpower has limitsTemptation and peer pressureResearch on self-controlWise vs. foolish choicesObstacles to self-controlGrace and disciplinePractical ways to cultivate self-control Timestamps: 00:00 The Final Fruit of the Spirit 01:03 Why Self-Control Matters 01:09 Self-Control Can Be Funny 06:09 What the Bible Says About Self-Control 10:21 Why Willpower Isn't Enough 13:22 Temptation & Peer Pressure 16:54 What Research Says About Self-Control 22:00 We All Need Help 23:45 Wise Choices vs. Foolish Choices 25:31 What Gets in the Way of Self-Control? 30:06 Grace & Discipline 31:39 How to Grow in Self-Control 33:03 Final Prayer Click here to donate to the program Click here for more sermons OC Church of Christ
