Jesus meets a woman who is desperately thirsty, proves he is "greater than", and shows her how her soul can be truly satisfied. How would it have turned out if it were you and Jesus by that well?

This sermon was preached at Illumine on February 7th, 2021. The text is John 4:1-26.

Listen in on this wide-ranging conversational study of John 1:43-51 with Pastor Nathan & Pastor Josh.

Why is Jesus called the "Word" of God and the "Lamb" of God? Pastors Josh Schultz of Mountain View in Great Falls, MT, and Nathan Loersch of Illumine in Rock Hill, SC, discuss the beginning of the Gospel of John.

A roundtable discussion on Isaiah 11, a prophecy all about Jesus. Enjoy listening in!

And if God brings good out of "bad"...was it really bad at all? This sermon on Isaiah 11:1-10 was preached December 13th, 2020, at Illumine, Rock Hill

Today Pastors Nathan, Matt, & Josh dive in to the goodness that is Isaiah 40.

Is it okay to cry out, “God, do something!” Is it possible to lament too much? What should we actually lament, and is there anything we shouldn’t lament? Listen in on 3 pastors discussing these questions & more, in the context of Isaiah 64.

Having a debt is not something anyone wants. Having a debt you can't pay is worse. Being owned by someone else because you can't pay your debt is the worst of all.

But Jesus paid the debt we owe; in fact, he bought us. So now we belong to him, which is the best status we can have.

For that, a new & different sacrifice was necessary. A new replacement. And then one appeared.

But today, judgment itself is the fixer--it takes the bad and makes it good!

Sacrifice is defined: the act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else seen as more important or worthy. The people of Israel, throughout most of the 1st half of the Bible, knew this concept most intimately. Daily they made sacrifices, in order to remedy their sins. Sure, they gave up animals, but it was worth it, to have good standing with God. But, these sacrifices could not ultimately take away sin.

For that, a new & different sacrifice was necessary. A new replacement. And then one appeared.

But today, judgment itself is the fixer--it takes the bad and makes it good!
