In a message by Carl Garrison on John 16:32-33, he breaks down what Jesus really meant by "I have overcome the world." Jesus did not mean that there would be no more suffering, no more pain, no more death; but instead simply that no one would have to go through them alone, and that suffering will not be the end.

In a sermon on 1 Peter 2:9-17, Dr. Tom Robinson speaks on the origin of the U.S. and how living as a Christian means balancing devotion to God and the rules of God with human laws and social systems. Tom looks at the Roman empire and its attitude towards Christians and pulls connections vitally relevant to the world today. Often, he pull of human society and human laws can clash with the teachings of the nation of God. Tom speaks on the importance of not letting the human nation pull you too far from the nation of God, but still do your duty to both, which includes leaders. No matter what your responsibility is to love others.
