If you belong to Jesus, He is praying for you.
In this powerful passage from John 17, Jesus prays His high priestly prayer — not only for His disciples, but for you. He prays for your protection, your growth, your unity with other believers, and your eternal future with Him.
Key Points:
1. Jesus prays for your safety — protection from the evil one as we live out the gospel mission.
2. Jesus prays for your sanctification — setting you apart for His holy purposes.
3. Jesus prays for our unity — so that the world may believe.
4. Jesus prays that we might join Him in heaven — to see His glory.
5. Jesus prays that we may know the Father’s love and walk in closeness with Him.
💬 “Christianity is not about duty; it’s about relationship.”
📖 Scripture: John 17:14–26

“I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.” - John 17:4
This Communion Sunday, we continue through the Gospel of John and come to John 17—often called “The High Priestly Prayer.” Here, Jesus lifts His eyes to heaven and prays to the Father, revealing the mutual glorification between the Father and the Son. Through His suffering, obedience, death, and resurrection, Jesus glorified the Father and accomplished the work He was sent to do. Can you also say — with Jesus — that you’ve glorified God on the earth and accomplished the work He gave you to do?
In this message, we look at:
• How Jesus set His mind on glorifying the Father, no matter the cost
• Why we can have confidence in God’s plan and purpose for our lives
• What it means to partner with the Father in accomplishing His work on earth
📖 Scripture: John 16:29–33, John 17:1–13, Isaiah 53, Romans 5:10, Romans 8:29–30, Ephesians 1:5, Hebrews 7

This week, we pause to reflect on the powerful lives of faithful leaders who have recently gone home to be with the Lord—Voddie Baucham, Charlie Kirk, John MacArthur, Phil Robertson, and James Dobson. Their bold witness reminds us that even in seasons of loss and hardship, God is still at work drawing people to Himself.
In John 16:25-33, Jesus tells His disciples plainly that trouble is coming—but He also gives them the promise of peace: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
In this message, we look at:
The assurance of direct access to the Father through Jesus Christ
The reality of trials, persecution, and cultural opposition to the gospel
Why fearing God more than man gives us courage to stand firm
How to welcome and disciple those God is bringing into His family right now
If you’ve been wrestling with fear, pressure, or uncertainty, this message is for you. Jesus is our peace in the storm, and He has already overcome the world.

In this message, Pastor Gunther unpacks Jesus’ words to His disciples about sorrow being turned into joy. Just as labor pains give way to the joy of new life, so too does anguish in following Christ transform into unshakable joy through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are reminded of our suffering brothers and sisters around the world, the gift of the Spirit who guides us into truth, and the assurance that our prayers in Jesus’ name are heard by the Father. Though the world may rejoice while believers weep, Christ promises a joy that no one can take away.
Be encouraged that even in anguish, God is at work bringing forth life, hope, and joy by His Spirit.

In this message, Pastor Steve continues our study through John 16, where Jesus prepares His disciples for the world’s hatred and the reality of persecution.
This week’s message is especially heavy as we reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a man who boldly proclaimed his faith in Christ. His life—and his death—remind us that the world is not our home and that following Jesus comes at a cost.
From John 16:1-15, we see three truths in Jesus’ words:
1. His warning prepares us so we do not fall away.
2. His warning reminds us that we have work to do as witnesses of the Gospel.
3. His warning reassures us that the Holy Spirit will equip us to endure life’s challenges.
The Spirit of God convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—and empowers believers to live boldly for Christ, even in the face of suffering.
May Charlie’s legacy and Jesus’ words remind us to live with eternal purpose and to trust the Spirit’s power in our lives.

In John 16:1-4, Jesus warns His disciples about coming persecution and prepares them so they won’t fall away when opposition arises. Pastor Steve Henry continues last week’s theme from 2 Corinthians 4:17.
Looking at the example of Stephen’s martyrdom in Acts 7, Pastor Steve contrasts empty religion with true Christianity. Religion is man’s attempt to reach God through outward works, but true Christianity is God reaching out to us through Christ—saving us by grace through faith and giving us new life.
Even when persecution comes from within the church, Jesus reminds us that we belong to Him, and He has already warned us so that we may stand firm in faith.

In John 15:18-27, Jesus shifts from speaking about love to warning His disciples about the world’s hatred. As followers of Christ, we are reminded that this world is not our home, and that opposition and persecution are inevitable for those who live by a biblical worldview.
In this message, Pastor Steve Henry unpacks three key truths:
- The hatred of the world reminds us that this world is not our home.
- The hatred of the world reminds us that we belong to Jesus.
- The hatred of the world reminds us that we are not alone—the Holy Spirit empowers us to endure and to bear witness to Christ.
Even in the face of hostility, we hold fast to the eternal perspective:
"For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." (2 Corinthians 4:17, ESV)

The return of Jesus Christ isn’t just a distant hope—it’s a reality that should shape the way we live today. In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul reminds us that the Day of the Lord will come suddenly, like a thief in the night. For believers, this truth is not meant to bring fear, but to stir us to watchfulness, faith, love, and hope.
In this message, Pastor Scott unpacks what it means to live as children of the day, ready for Christ’s return. We are called to encourage one another, walk in faith and love, and be rich in good works toward others—because Jesus is coming back. The question is: are you ready to see Him?

Walking with Jesus -- True Christianity -- is the most challenging, yet rewarding path you’ll ever walk. In John 15:12-17, Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us—a love that is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit.
True Christianity:
1. Requires Humanly Impossible Love
2. Requires Humanly Impossible Obedience
3. Produces Humanly Impossible Fruitfulness
Only God can make these impossibilites possible in our lives.
In this message, Pastor Steve Henry unpacks how abiding in Christ fuels our faith, empowers us to forgive, and transforms our lives into lasting fruit for God’s glory.

In John 15:1-11, Jesus calls Himself the True Vine and urges us to abide in Him, promising that apart from Him, we can do nothing. In this message, Pastor Steve Henry unpacks what it means to remain connected to Christ—our source of life and fruitfulness. Discover how abiding shapes our desires, produces spiritual fruit, and fills us with love and joy. Staying connected to Jesus is the only way to live a life that glorifies God.
