    The Gospel of John- That You May Believe: John 1:19-34

    Send us Fan Mail Who is Jesus, and how do we come to truly know Him? John the Baptist gives us one of the clearest answers in all of Scripture. Before Jesus stepped fully into public ministry, John arrived as a witness, a forerunner sent to prepare the way. When the religious leaders of his day came to question him, he refused every title they offered. He was not the Christ, not Elijah, not the prophet. He was a voice, pointing to someone far greater than himself. This message explores the identity of Jesus through the testimony of John the Baptist in John chapter 1. We look at who the priests, Levites, and Pharisees were and why their questions mattered. We examine what John meant when he called Jesus the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, tracing that declaration back to the Passover lamb in Exodus and the scapegoat of Yom Kippur on the Day of Atonement. Both images point to the same truth: Jesus came to take the full weight of sin and judgment so that we would never have to face it ourselves. We also explore how faith in Jesus actually works. John did not recognize Jesus through human reasoning or religious knowledge. The Holy Spirit revealed it to him. That is exactly how it works for every person who comes to faith. No argument or debate can produce genuine belief. It is a gift, revealed by God Himself, just as Jesus told Peter in Matthew 16. Topics covered include the identity of Christ, the meaning of the Lamb of God, Passover and atonement in the Old Testament, the role of John the Baptist, how the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus, humility and pointing others to Christ, and what it means to have faith as a gift rather than an achievement. Whether you are a longtime follower of Jesus or someone still exploring who He is, this message speaks directly to the question that matters most. Who is Jesus, and what does it mean that He came for sinners, not the righteous?

    1 Corinthians 12:12-27: Unboxing Breakaway

    Send us Fan Mail What does the Bible say about Christian community, and why is it so hard to actually live out? In 1 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul gives one of the most powerful pictures of the church found anywhere in Scripture, and it starts with the human body. Paul wrote to a church in Corinth that was struggling with division, immaturity, and conflict. His answer was not a new program or a better strategy. It was a return to God's original design: one body, many members, each placed by God on purpose, each essential to the whole. In this message, we explore what genuine Christian community looks like according to Scripture, why so many of us resist it, and what it practically means to be the kind of church God designed us to be. Topics covered include: Why we resist Christian community (fear, busyness, comparison, and more)What 1 Corinthians 12 teaches about the church as one bodyHow the human body illustrates interdependence in the local churchThe true foundation of Christian unityWhy God sovereignly places believers in specific communitiesHow comparison and preference quietly destroy unityWhat it looks like when the church responds well to sufferingPractical steps to move toward community this weekWhether you have been burned by church hurt, feel like you do not fit in, or have simply been too busy to invest in relationships, this message is for you. God has placed you exactly where you are for a reason, and the community around you is not an accident.

    Nehemiah 10: Unboxing Breakaway

    Send us Fan Mail The story of Nehemiah is one of the most honest books in the Bible. It shows what happens when God's people get serious about rebuilding, repenting, and recommitting. But it also shows what happens next: they fall right back into the same patterns. If you have ever made a sincere promise to God and broken it, Nehemiah's story is your story too. In this message, we walk through the key moments of Nehemiah's journey, from his prayer in the ruins to the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, to the powerful moment when the people gathered to hear the Word of God and were broken by conviction. We look at the covenant they made in Nehemiah chapter 10, the specific commitments they wrote down and signed their names to, and we ask the honest question: why did it all fall apart by chapter 13? The answer points us directly to the gospel. The Old Covenant placed the responsibility on the people, and every time it did, it eventually broke down. Not because the law was wrong, but because sinners cannot sustain obedience through willpower alone. The New Covenant is completely different. God walked through the covenant ceremony alone when He made His promise to Abraham. Jesus fulfilled every requirement of the law, bore the full curse of sin at the cross, and rose again as our permanent High Priest. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This message is for anyone who is tired of the cycle of conviction, commitment, and failure. It is for anyone who has been trying to fix a spiritual problem with human effort. The gospel is not about making bad people a little better. It is about making dead people alive. God is not waiting for another promise. He is inviting you to stop bargaining and start receiving the grace He has already given through Christ. Topics covered include the meaning of covenant in the Bible, the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, why the law cannot save us, how Jesus fulfills the covenant, what it means to live under grace, the role of the Holy Spirit in transformation, and what it looks like to be part of a covenant community in the local church.
