John 18:28-40 | Everything is Going According to God's Plan | Steve Henry | Nov. 30, 2025

In this message, we return to the Gospel of John with a powerful passage in John 18:28–40, where Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate.

 

From a human perspective, Jesus has been betrayed by Judas, arrested unjustly, and denied by Peter — His closest followers have faltered, and the crowd is about to reject Him. Yet behind every setback is a deeper reality:

 

Nothing is falling apart. Everything is unfolding exactly according to God’s plan.

 

In this moment of pressure and opposition, Jesus shows us:

 

Boldness over fear

 

Commitment over confusion

 

Mission over comfort

 

Jesus doesn’t defend Himself to protect His life — He surrenders it to secure our salvation. His Kingdom is not of this world, but His rescue mission was for this world, for humanity — for us.

 

This message calls believers to move:

From fear → to faith

From apprehension → to Spirit-filled boldness

From comfort → to Kingdom calling

John 18:12–27 | Why Did Peter Deny Jesus? | Steve Henry | Nov. 16, 2025

This week, Pastor Steve Henry continues our journey through the Gospel of John as we examine Peter’s denial of Jesus in John 18:12–27. Though Peter’s moment is famous, Scripture shows that we too deny Christ—through compromise, silence, fear, and living for our own comfort.

Pastor Steve walks us through three reasons Peter denied Jesus:

1. He wasn’t willing to jeopardize his comfort.

2. He was afraid of people.

3. He let emotions—not the Holy Spirit—govern his commitment.

But Peter’s story doesn’t end in failure. He repented, he was restored, and he lived a bold, sacrificial life for Christ. His transformation invites us to ask: Does my life demonstrate repentance? Am I confessing Christ or denying Him?

Join us as we learn from Peter’s mistakes, embrace true repentance, and rediscover what wholehearted discipleship looks like in a world that often prefers comfort over conviction.

God’s Sovereignty - Part 2 | Steve Henry | Nov. 9, 2025

When life feels out of control, can we still trust that God is in control?

This week, Pastor Steve continues our study on God’s Sovereignty, exploring what it truly means to trust God when life doesn’t make sense.

 

From Job to Joseph, Scripture reminds us that nothing happens apart from the counsel of God—and yet, God doesn’t cause everything to happen. We live in a broken world, but we can choose to:

1️⃣ Worship God when we don’t understand,

2️⃣ Believe there’s something bigger underway, and

3️⃣ Be patient and faithful as His plan unfolds.

 

As we abide in Christ and trust His love, plan, and justice, we can rest in the truth that our Sovereign God is always in control.

God's Sovereignty - Part 1 | Steve Henry | Oct. 26, 2025

This Family Sunday, Pastor Steve Henry pauses our Gospel of John series to focus on a powerful truth: Nothing can happen to you that doesn’t first pass the counsel of God.

 

Through the stories of Job, Joseph, and King David, we’re reminded that even in seasons of suffering, betrayal, and uncertainty, God’s sovereign hand is still at work. His wisdom is higher, His plan is greater, and His love is unchanging.

 

In this message, we learn three important responses when life doesn’t make sense:

1️⃣ Choose to worship God—especially when you don’t understand.

2️⃣ Believe there is something bigger underway.

3️⃣ Be patient and faithful as God’s plan unfolds.

 

Join us as we find rest in the same truth that comforted the saints before us: God’s sovereignty is the pillow upon which we lay our heads.

John 18:1–11 | Three Things You Must Do When You Have Been Betrayed | Steve Henry | Oct. 19, 2025

In this powerful message from John 18:1–11, Pastor Steve Henry walks us through Jesus’ betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane and reveals how we can respond when betrayal comes into our own lives. Before the cross, Jesus modeled three key principles:

 

1. Worship — keeping our eyes fixed on God

 

2. Stay humble — trusting God’s higher purposes

 

3. Face your challenge with faith — surrendering to God’s will

 

Betrayal is painful, but in the hands of God, it becomes an opportunity to reflect Christ.

John 17:14–26 | If You Belong to Jesus, He is Praying For You | Steve Henry | Oct. 12, 2025

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.”

John 17:1–13 | Can you say this with Jesus? | Steve Henry | Oct. 5, 2025

“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

John 16:25-33 | Taking Heart in the Midst of Tribulation | Curtis Henry | Sep. 28, 2025

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.
