Sometimes life causes us to ask, "Where Is Jesus?" In this revival replay from 2023, Pastor John preaches from John 11:35–44, telling the story of Lazarus through the perspective of real grief and loss. Mary and Martha sent messages to Jesus that their brother was sick, yet there was no urgency to Jesus's return and Lazarus died. This sermon is for everyone who has ever asked "Where is Jesus?" in the middle of a health crisis, a family emergency, or when life situations just keep getting worse. Will our prayers be limited or will our faith allow us to see miracles?

You've prayed specifically in Jesus name. You've received it in faith. Now it's time to live it out with the help of the Holy Spirit. Pastor John preaches from Romans 8:1–11 declaring a powerful promise to believers: there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. That means no chains. A full pardon. A life of victory is available right now. Through the lens of Christian living and spiritual growth, this sermon asks a bold question: what is the recidivism rate of the Church? How many of us confess Christ and then backslide into old behaviors? The answer is to embrace the Holy Spirit, the Helper who empowers us to live out our faith daily.

This week Pastor John preaches from Mark 10:46–52, teaching the story of Blind Bartimaeus, a man who was physically blind but spiritually aware. This sermon is a call to stop letting pride, busyness, or fear keep you from receiving what God has already prepared for you. 'Receive That' which is spoken over you. 'Receive That' which the Holy Spirit is helping you through. And when Jesus is present, don't stay silent. This week also includes the companion Wednesday Bible Study, "Pray That" — a guide to praying specifically and scripturally for others.

Trouble is coming — the question is, where will you look for help? In this message, Pastor John preaches from Psalm 121:1–8, "I look to the hills, my help comes from the Lord". Whether it's car trouble in a South Philly parking lot, a layoff notice, or a child in a hospital bed, this sermon speaks to the pressures of real life. God is your Keeper, your Protector, and your Preserver — and He never slumbers.

This Pentecost Sunday message is simple: Wake Up! This episode of the Replay Gospel podcast is a flashback from 2025. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Pastor John preaches from 1 Corinthians 15:30–34, asking us to reflect on the impact of the Gospel on our everyday lives. From the danger of being canceled for your faith, to the toxin of worldly familiarity, the sermon is a call to Christian living with urgency, boldness, and purpose. Your testimony matters. Someone's salvation is waiting to hear from you.

None of us walk into our calling with a clean record. The Apostle Paul is our example. In this week's message, Pastor John examines 1 Timothy 1:12–17 to show how God takes unlikely people and uses them for powerful purposes. From Saul the persecutor to Paul the apostle, we are reminded that grace doesn't only cover your past, it redirects your future. If you've ever felt too broken, too lost, or too unqualified, this sermon is for you. Your past is not a disqualifier, it's part of your testimony. Press on.

On this Mother's Day, Pastor John takes us back to the arms that first held us. Through the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1, we discover a mother's greatest act of faith: holding on just long enough, then trusting God for the future of our children. This message is layered in good memories, love, and a powerful call from John 3:3 to be born again, not into mama's arms, but this time into the arms of Father God. Mama prayed. Now the decision is yours.

In "What Do My Good Days Look Like?" Pastor John examines Genesis 1, asking this question that hits close to home. The sermon draws three keys from the Creation record: seeing the world as God intended, aligning our lives with His Word as our operations manual for daily living, and spreading diverse seeds of grace across every field He's gives us to visit. This message challenges us to see our good days the way God already has.

In "Good Days Ahead," Pastor John takes us to 1 Peter 3:8–17 with an encouraging reminder: God's Word doesn't simply promise "better" days, it promises good days. When we - Prepare, Defend, and Endure, we discover how to position spiritually and physically for God's promises. Using the example of the Israelites' journey and the words of both Peter and Paul, the message encourages believers to stop reaching for quick fixes and start preparing intentionally for a turn around to our good days.

In Please Respond, the sermon examines Matthew 22 about God’s invitation to the wedding feast of His Son. Through the parable, we see that God continually sends messengers of the Gospel, extending grace to all — both those who were first invited and those who are on the “waiting list.” We are reminded that salvation is a free invitation, but we must respond “yes” and accept the covering Christ provides. The sermon calls listeners to recognize the value of God’s invitation, rejoice in being grafted into His family, and respond in faith today.
