In this sermon, Pastor Nathan explores Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit in John 14:25–31 and explains how the Holy Spirit brings peace to believers.

Continuing through John 14, Pastor Nathan explores Jesus’ teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit in John 14:15–24. He highlights how heaven is ultimately about relationship and communion with God, and addresses how believers can walk faithfully in the present through the indwelling presence of the Spirit—our Paraklete—who enables obedience, anchors our security, and glorifies Christ.

Continuing through the upper room discourse, Pastor Nathan unpacks Jesus’ response to Philip in John 14:8–14: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." Examining church history—from Arius to the Council of Nicaea—he explains how Jesus’ divine identity puts Him "above the line" with God, and how His departure inaugurates a new era of redemptive power through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

No one comes to the Father except through me." Grounding the teaching in the backdrop of Exodus, Christology, and Solus Christus, he unpacks why the exclusivity of Christ is a foundational biblical truth rather than an act of arrogance.

Beginning a series through John 14–17, Pastor Nathan examines the depth of Christian salvation through the lens of Exodus and Christ’s incarnation. Salvation is not just a theological concept—it is a deeply personal and relational reality where God gives Himself to us for eternity.

Why is God never mentioned a single time in the Book of Esther? Because Esther is the book of quiet providence—a historical narrative showing that even when God seems invisible, He is never absent. In this message, we journey through the entire book of Esther to see how God orchestrates history behind the scenes. From the courts of Persia to the plots of Haman, every "coincidence" and "accident" is part of God's sovereign plan to protect His people and pave the way for the coming Savior.

In this sermon, we explore:

• Historical Authenticity: How archaeological findings in Susa and Persian history validate the biblical account of Xerxes.
• Providence in Messy Situations: How God works His will through broken people, political intrigue, and non-ideal circumstances.
• Courage at the Right Time: How Esther’s willingness to risk her position, dignity, and life saved a nation.
• Esther as a Shadow of Christ: How Esther’s role as an intercessor points directly to Jesus, who stepped down from heaven to identify with us and rescue us from death.

Revival and awakening sound wonderful, but the reality is that spiritual restoration always comes with work and warfare. Continuing our journey through the Old Testament, we dive into the Book of Nehemiah to explore what it means to be a holy people, called to a holy city, serving at a holy temple—and the spiritual opposition that inevitably follows. In this message, we examine:

• Historical & Archaeological Authenticity: How real historical figures like Artaxerxes, Geshem, and Sanballat corroborate the truth of Scripture.
• The Nature of Warfare: Spiritual warfare from within our own hearts, attacks from outside, and confusion within the community.
• Waging Warfare with Wisdom: How Nehemiah combined practical organization, shared leadership, and relentless prayer.
• The Ultimate Resolution: How Nehemiah points forward to Jesus Christ—our true temple—and the ultimate fulfillment found in Revelation 21.

Join us as we learn how to stand firm, use wisdom, and trust in the God who fights for us!

Are you feeling cold in your spiritual routine or hungering for a fresh awakening in your heart, church, and community? In this teaching, we dive into the Book of Ezra—a historical account of God's providence, restoration, and genuine heart revival.

Rather than relying on emotionalism or manufactured "revivalism," Ezra shows us how God uses His sovereign hand and the faithful preaching of His Word to transform hearts, leading us to brokenness, confession, and ultimately the gospel joy found in Jesus Christ.
