This past Sunday, Cristian Maldonado wrapped up the first section of our Gospel of John Series for 2025. We saw the epic conclusion of Jesus' confrontation with the Jews, where He revealed that their unbelief was rooted in nothing less than their bondage to self-worship. We learned that along with that indictment Jesus was also inviting them to come to Him and to experience true freedom and lasting rest.

This past Sunday, Pastor Ryan preached on Jesus’ confrontation with the Jewish religious leaders after they questioned His healing of a man on the Sabbath. This message reminded us that because Jesus alone has the authority to judge, He alone has the authority to give and raise life.

This past Sunday, Bobby Hegedish preached on the story of Jesus' healing of the paralytic at the pool of Bethesda. We learned that it is not enough to desire to be healed, but to be whole. And we were reminded that a relationship with Jesus is what heals us from dead religion.

This past Sunday, Pastor Ryan preached on the story of Jesus healing the nobleman’s son. Jesus simply spoke the word and the man’s son was healed instantly. We were reminded that all of our needs ultimately reveal our greatest need, which is that of believing in the Word. 

This past Sunday, Cristian Maldonado preached on the second part of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob. We looked at the disciples' puzzlement and the woman's proclamation, and learned that Jesus calls His disciples to hunger and thirst for a spiritual harvest of belief, in the places where we least expect it.

This past Sunday, Pastor Scott Reavis preached on the story of Jesus’ meeting the woman at the Well of Jacob. We were reminded that God’s love seeks, that His grace satisfies, and that His Holy Spirit is the One that transforms.

This past Sunday, Pastor Ryan led us through John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist proclaims that Christ must increase, and he must decrease. Using the beautiful imagery of a wedding, John describes himself as the friend of the bridegroom (the “best man”) who rejoices to step aside as the True Bridegroom arrives. We were reminded that when Jesus is greatest and we are least, our joy will only increase.

This past Sunday, Pastor Josh taught from one of the most well-known verses in Scripture—John 3:16. He led us to reflect on the profound ways God reveals His love to all humanity, and the particular ways He pours out His covenant love on His people. We were reminded that it is God's love that leads Him to offer eternal life to the whole world.

This week, Pastor Ryan preached on the first portion of Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus. We were reminded that true Christianity requires a new birth, evidenced by a transformed life and produced solely by a sovereign work of the Spirit.

This past Sunday, Pastor Ryan preached on the cleansing of the temple from John 2:13–25, where Jesus reveals that He is the new and greater temple. This account also highlights His mission to restore His people as zealous worshipers for the glory of God the Father.
