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.

In John 14:22-31, we see His promise to never leave us, to empower us through the Holy Spirit, and to one day take us home to be with Him forever. Pastor Steve reminds us that God’s faithfulness calls us to be faithful in return—living out our love for Him through obedience and trust.

Pastor Scott opens with a tender reminder — we need God's nearness like a sick child needs their mother — and then walks us through John 14:15–21, unpacking how Jesus equips us with wisdom and life. Drawing from the wisdom books (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job), he shows how true wisdom begins in the fear of the Lord, how love for Christ is expressed by keeping His commandments, and how the Holy Spirit (the Parakletos) is our ever-present Helper and strength. This message calls us to patient endurance (hupomone), to live as temples of the Spirit, and to rest in the gospel: the cross paid the price so we might be made righteous and secure in God’s love.
Key takeaways:
- A wise life requires patient endurance (hupomone) to remain with Jesus.
- If you are in Christ, you are a temple of the Holy Spirit — He is the fulfilling life.
- The gospel proves God’s holiness and love: the cross is real payment, and we are truly justified and secure.

In this message from John 14, Pastor Curtis invites us to journey through one of Jesus' most powerful declarations: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” While there isn’t a single theme throughout the passage, each verse offers rich encouragement—like a walk through the woods where beauty is found at every turn.
Jesus speaks words of peace to His disciples, assuring them that even though He is going away, He will return to bring them to Himself. More than a promise of a heavenly place, it's a call to long for the presence of a Person. Pastor Curtis unpacks what it means to follow Jesus as our Way, know Him as the Truth, and experience Him as our Life—now and forever. We are also reminded that through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to participate in God’s greater works here on earth.
