In Mark 1:9–13, heaven is torn open and God reveals who Jesus truly is. Jesus enters the Jordan not to confess sin, but in humble obedience, identifying with those He came to redeem. As the Spirit descends and the Father speaks, Scripture unveils the Triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit—together in one decisive moment. Before Jesus preaches, performs miracles, or calls disciples, God publicly declares His identity: the beloved Son, the promised King, and the suffering Servant who will bring salvation to the world.

When coupled with Matthew 3 & Luke 3, we also see the hearts of those present—tax collectors, soldiers, Pharisees, and ordinary people—some broken and ready to repent, others guarded and driven by pride and self-justification. Into that divided gathering, Jesus steps forward to fulfill righteousness. This passage reminds us that the gospel confronts every heart and calls us not merely to observe Jesus, but to respond in repentance, trust, and obedience.

In Mark 1:2–8, we see how God prepared the way for the coming of Jesus long before His arrival. Drawing from Isaiah’s prophecy and the ministry of John the Baptist, this message explores God’s faithful promise, the call to repentance, and the readiness of the heart to receive the King. As water gives way to Spirit baptism, we are reminded that our preparation is met by Christ’s redeeming work and the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit.

* Due to technical difficulties we are not able to upload the sermon on Mark 1:1.

We apologize for not having this last two episodes , but we hope you have enjoyed our series through the book of Hebrews this Advent season.

As we close the book of Hebrews and come to the end of the year, this sermon centers on Hebrews 12:1–3. It calls us to live in light of who Jesus truly is.

Throughout Hebrews, we’ve seen that Jesus was never one plan among many—He was always God’s only plan. Faithful leaders served in the house of God, but Jesus alone is the Son over the house, the architect, foundation, and cornerstone. The sacrificial system revealed sin, but only Christ removes sin, shame, and death. The Levitical priesthood exposed the need for a perfect and eternal High Priest—fulfilled fully in Jesus.

Hebrews 12:1–3 gives us three clear action steps:

• Fix our eyes on Jesus

• Lay aside every weight and the sin that hinders us

• Run with endurance without growing weary or losing heart

This message closes Hebrews by calling us not to look backward in discouragement or inward in preference, but upward to Christ and forward in faithful endurance.

Anchored in John 14:27 and supported by Hebrews, this message examines Jesus as the true source of perfected peace. We look at three gifts of Christ’s peace: peace with God through His sacrifice, peace in our hearts through His cleansing, and peace for the future through His unshakable kingdom.

In this sermon from Hebrews 10:1–14, Pastor Juri continues our Advent series “No Other Way” by showing why the sacrificial system was never enough — and why only Jesus can truly save. From Genesis to Leviticus, we trace God’s purpose for the sacrificial system: to teach, to train, and to point forward to Christ. We see how every shadow, every substitute, and every offering prepared the way for the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus. This message highlights the holiness of God, the seriousness of sin, and the unstoppable grace found in Christ our Savior.

In this first Advent message, “Jesus, Our Living Hope,” Pastor Juri walks through Hebrews 6:11–20 to show that Christian hope is not wishful thinking but confident expectation rooted in God’s unchanging character. Building on the themes from our pre-Advent Hebrews series, this sermon reminds us that hope calls us to diligence, rests on God’s faithful promises, is secured by His unchanging nature, and is anchored in the finished work of Jesus — our living, present, and eternal Hope. As Advent begins, we look to Christ, the One who holds our souls steady and fulfills every promise of God.

Why did Jesus have to come? Hebrews 4:14–16 and 5:1–6 give us the answer—because we needed a perfect High Priest. Every Old Testament priest pointed forward to Him, but only Jesus lives forever, sympathizes fully, and offers the sacrifice that truly saves. This message shows why there is no other way to God but through Christ alone.

Sermon Title: Faithful In – vs – Over the House
Series: No Other Way – Why We Needed Christ to Come

In this message, we see the difference between the servants who were faithful within God’s house and the Son who reigns over it. From Moses to David, every faithful leader pointed to the One who would fulfill it all — Jesus Christ, the builder, foundation, and cornerstone of God’s house. Our confidence isn’t in our performance, but in our position as members of His household through grace.

This message launches our pre-Advent series, No Other Way: Why We Needed Jesus to Come. From the very beginning, God’s plan has been to reveal Himself and redeem His people through His Son. Every prophet, covenant, and sacrifice pointed to Jesus — the full and final Word of God. From creation to the cross, Jesus was not Plan B — He was always the plan.

In this final message from our Galatians series, we explore what it means to live out the freedom Christ has given us. True freedom isn’t just personal — it’s communal. Paul reminds us to restore the fallen with gentleness, bear one another’s burdens, sow to the Spirit rather than the flesh, and find contentment in our own walk. This message challenges us to live faithfully, humbly, and fruitfully — using our freedom to serve others and bring glory to God.
