A Fresh Wind Sermons

Today, we look into another question that Jesus asked: “Who do you say that I am?” In Matthew 16:13–20, Jesus challenges His disciples to move beyond popular opinions and secondhand faith to personally recognize Him as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Discover why your answer to this question changes everything—what you believe, how you live, and where you place your hope.

What defines who you are—your past, your mistakes, or the identity God has given you? In Genesis 32, God confronts Jacob with a powerful question: “What is your name?” Through Jacob’s life-changing encounter with God, we discover that when we honestly surrender who we’ve been, God offers us a new identity, a new purpose, and a future defined not by our failures, but by His grace.

In week 1 of our new series, Mic’d Up, we listen closely to the first question God asks in Scripture: “Where are you?” From Genesis 3, we discover that God’s question is not an accusation meant to shame us, but an invitation from a God who pursues us, calls us out of hiding, and longs to restore what sin has broken.

Can we really trust the Bible after thousands of years of copying, translation, and debate over which books belong? Why Trust the Bible? examines the historical evidence, manuscript record, and formation of Scripture—and ultimately shows that the Bible was never meant merely to win an argument, but to lead us to Jesus. 

Is Jesus really the only way to God—or are all religions simply different paths to the same destination? In this message, we look at Paul’s encounter in Athens to see how the Gospel holds conviction and humility together, and why the resurrection of Jesus changes everything.

Why does God seem silent when life hurts, injustice wins, and our prayers appear unanswered? Through Habakkuk’s honest questions, we discover that faith is not the absence of doubt, but choosing where we will stand while we wait for God’s answer. In our suffering, God does not simply offer explanations—He offers Himself, a promise, and a hope that cannot be taken away.

The empty tomb changes everything! Come discover that the risen Jesus knows our name, meets us in our doubts, and restores us from our failures. He is risen—and He is still calling us to believe, love Him, and follow Him.

As Jesus moves from the Upper Room to the cross, John reveals a Savior who is never a victim of circumstances but is willingly completing the mission the Father gave Him. From His prayer for His followers, through His arrest and trial, to His final declaration, “It is finished,” we see that at Calvary our debt was paid, our sentence was served, and our victory was secured—once and for all.

Jesus calls His followers to abide in Him, remain faithful when the world pushes back, and take heart in the midst of suffering. As branches connected to the True Vine, we discover that lasting fruit doesn’t come from striving harder, but from staying connected to Jesus—trusting the Father’s pruning, relying on the Holy Spirit, and resting in Christ’s victory over the world.

As Jesus prepares His disciples for the cross, He shows them what it means to love, serve, and follow Him to the end. In John 13–14, we discover that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and He promises the Holy Spirit—the Helper who remains with us, teaches us, and gives us His peace. This message invites us to follow Jesus with humble, sacrificial love and trust Him as the only way to the Father.
