John 13:1-17, 34-35. What if the greatness of Jesus isn't revealed by how high He rises, but by how low He is willing to go? From receiving God's unconditional love to walking in daily repentance, forgiveness, kindness, and humble service, this message challenges us to rethink what true greatness looks like.If Jesus was willing to serve those who would betray, deny, and abandon Him, His example calls us to love the people around us with that same humility, grace, and willingness to serve.

John 12:23-34. What if God's glory doesn't look like success, recognition, or being seen by the crowd but something completely different?

This Sunday, we walked through Jesus' words in John 12 and what the cross reveals about true glory. From our desire for recognition to Jesus' suffering, victory over sin and death, and the invitation for all people to come to Him, this message challenges us to rethink where we look for glory and who gets the glory in our lives.

John 12. What if worship isn't just what we sing, but what we're willing to lay down because we've seen the worth of Jesus? This Sunday, we walk through Mary's extravagant act of worship in John 12 and what it shows us about the cost of following Jesus. Our worship has an origin, our worship will cost us something, and when we see Jesus for who He is, our lives become an aroma that points others to Him.

John 11. What if the life you've been searching for can only be found in the One who defeated death? Through the story of Lazarus, we see that Jesus doesn't stand at a distance from our pain, He enters into it. He knows us deeply, loves us better than we understand, and holds authority even over death itself.

This message is a reminder that following Jesus doesn't mean we'll never experience pain, but it does mean that no pain, loss, or grave is beyond His power. And because Jesus has called us into new life, we don't have to keep wearing the things that belonged to our old one. If you're still wearing grave clothes, maybe it's time to take them off.

John 10. What if the life you're looking for isn't found in having more, but in following the right Shepherd? This Sunday Pastor Ryan Schlachter walks through Jesus' teaching in about the Good Shepherd. Our need to be led, the voices we choose to follow, and the difference between leaders who take from us and a Shepherd who lays down His life for us.

Guest speaker Jimmy Bae walks through the story of the blind man. Exploring spiritual blindness, suffering, and what it means to truly see God. From the disciples' assumptions about suffering to the Pharisees' inability to recognize their own need for grace, this message challenges us to examine how we see God, ourselves, and the circumstances we're walking through.

John 8:12–59. Are you stumbling around in the dark, trying to balance your love for Jesus with your love for comfort, or are you ready to let the Light of the World reveal the truth and set you free? This Sunday Pastor Ryan Schlachter explores the historical backdrop of the Feast of Booths, how Jesus's claim to be the Light of the World mirrors the ancient pillar of fire in the wilderness, and what it actually takes to be a genuine follower of Christ.

John 8:1–11. Are you carrying the weight of past mistakes, or letting the fear of condemnation keep you trapped in shame? In the powerful account of the woman caught in adultery from we explore how sin's true motive is always to destroy us, why human judgment and majority opinions don't get the final say, and how Jesus offers absolute pardon, not so we can live in fear, but so we can walk in true, lasting freedom.

John 7:37-44. Are you searching for fulfillment in things that leave you empty, or are you ready to receive the true refreshment that only Jesus can provide? During the Feast of Booths, Jesus stands up and offers a profound invitation to anyone who is spiritually thirsty: to come to Him and drink, promising that rivers of living water—the Holy Spirit—will flow from within them.

This Sunday we're challenged to look past temporary fixes, step out of our depletion, and experience the abundant presence and power of God.

Jesus challenges His followers with hard truths, leading many to turn back. We're confronted on whether we are seeking a God on our own terms and agenda, or if we are truly willing to submit to His Lordship, even when His Word confronts our deepest desires. Are you following Jesus only when it's easy, or are you willing to stay when His words get hard?
