In this enlightening message, guest speaker Mike Shaver explores the profound opening of John’s Gospel, explaining why this book was written and how it uniquely presents Jesus as God incarnate. Drawing from John 20:30-31, Shaver reveals that John’s purpose was “that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ” and “have life in His name.” He skillfully compares the four Gospels, showing how each portrays Jesus for a different audience—Matthew to Jews (Jesus as King), Mark to Romans (Jesus as Servant), Luke to Greeks (Jesus as Man), and John to the Church (Jesus as God). Through a careful examination of John 1:1-13, Shaver affirms the deity of Christ as Creator of all things, the Light that illuminates human darkness, and the one who gives believers the right to become children of God. With engaging illustrations about scientific discoveries, historical perspective, and personal faith, this message challenges listeners to recognize Jesus as more than a historical figure—He is God who stepped into His own creation, offering us spiritual rebirth and the privilege of being His ambassadors in a world that desperately needs the light.

In this Memorial Day weekend message, Pastor Scotty Brown explores the transformative power of encountering Jesus through Luke’s account of Jesus choosing His disciples and healing the multitudes. Drawing parallels between those willing to sacrifice for freedom and disciples willing to die for Christ, Pastor Scotty highlights how Jesus selected ordinary men who would ultimately transform the world through their unwavering commitment. The sermon reveals three motivations that drew people to Jesus: hearing His Word, seeking physical healing, and finding deliverance from spiritual torment. With timely warnings about the dangers of artificial intelligence and digital relationships replacing genuine spiritual connection, Pastor Scotty challenges us to hunger for Christ alone in these last days. Through examining the Beatitudes, he reminds us that true blessing comes through spiritual poverty, hunger for righteousness, and willingness to be persecuted for Jesus—even as cultural opposition intensifies. This powerful message calls believers to choose “victory in Jesus or death” rather than compromising with a world increasingly hostile to genuine faith.

In this powerful message, Pastor Scotty Brown explores Jesus' healing of the man with the withered hand in Luke 6:6-11, revealing how religious legalism blinds us to God's true heart of compassion. Drawing from this Sabbath confrontation, Pastor Scotty highlights the stark contrast between the Pharisees' rigid traditions and Jesus' focus on mercy, healing, and restoration. Through practical insights and personal reflections, he challenges us to examine areas in our lives that need Christ's healing touch—places of weakness, sin, or brokenness that require us to take steps of faith. This sermon reminds us that God honors faith when we "stretch forth" the withered parts of our lives to Him, and warns against the dangerous path of hardening our hearts toward His goodness. Be encouraged to respond to Jesus' invitation for wholeness rather than clinging to religious traditions that miss the heart of God.

Through biblical insights and personal reflections, this message challenges us to recognize Jesus' supreme authority over all creation and to find true rest in relationship with Him rather than rigid religious observance.
