But this story isn't just about a building in Jerusalem—it's an invitation to examine the temple of our own hearts. As believers, the Holy Spirit now dwells within us. So what habits, compromises, relationships, or distractions have we allowed to take up space where God alone belongs?

    The Gospel of John (1:19-28)

    In this episode of Heart Check Podcast, Pastor Los continues our journey through the Gospel of John as we dive into John 1:19-28 and examine the powerful testimony of John the Baptist. When religious leaders came asking, “Who are you?”, John refused to make the moment about himself. Instead, he pointed people to Jesus. Through John's humility, we discover an important truth for every believer: our lives were never meant to draw attention to ourselves, but to the One who saved us. Together, we'll explore: Why John immediately declared, “I am not the Messiah”What the title "Messiah" truly meansThe difference between John's baptism of repentance and the baptism of the Holy SpiritHow the religious leaders were asking the wrong questions and missing Jesus standing right in front of themWhat it means to be a voice that points others to ChristWhy every believer is called to share the Good News This episode is a reminder to fix our eyes on Jesus, remain humble in our calling, and boldly testify about the One who has changed our lives. Like John the Baptist, may we decrease so that Christ can increase. Are you pointing people to yourself, or are you pointing them to Jesus? This week, ask God to open your eyes to opportunities to share the Good News and be His hands and feet wherever He has placed you.
