John 12:12-26

We are a people of deep need in a world of deep need, and it is right to long for a King – to long for Jesus. Yet too often, we let our needs shape our expectations of Him. When we do, we struggle to recognize and receive Him, and are left disappointed. But when we behold Christ as He reveals Himself, we discover and receive a King far greater than we imagined – the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

2 Samuel 8:3-6

1 Samuel 3:1-14

God establishes Samuel as His prophet by revealing His word to him and announcing judgment on Eli’s household for their persistent, unrestrained sin. In a time when God’s word was rare in Israel, the Lord calls Samuel to listen and faithfully deliver His message. This passage highlights the importance of hearing and obeying God’s voice and reminds us that spiritual leaders are accountable to God for confronting sin and upholding His truth.

Judges 2:16-19

In response to Israel’s repeated rebellion, the LORD compassionately raises up judges to deliver His people, yet their unchanged hearts cause them to return to deeper corruption once the deliverer is gone.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Every relationship has its own commitments, and a covenant defines both the relationship and its demands. In His covenant with us, God calls us to love Him with absolute faithfulness as our only God - yet we fail. In Christ, our unfaithful hearts are forgiven and renewed, restoring our relationship with God.

Numbers 21:4-9

Life can wear us down, and our sinful nature often distorts how we see God’s present—and even His past – faithfulness. The journey feels long, we feel stuck, and we draw short-sighted conclusions about a story that is not yet finished. Yet in His grace and love, often through unexpected means, God is still patiently shepherding our hearts and training our minds to depend on Him alone – to look to Him, and live.

Leviticus 16:29-34

In Leviticus 16:29-34, we see that cleansing from sin doesn’t come through our efforts, but through the work of a consecrated priest acting on our behalf. This ancient rhythm of repentance and rest points us to Jesus Christ, our perfect High Priest, who has made full atonement once for all.

Exodus 12:1-14

On the night when death passed over Egypt, God established more than a moment of deliverance. He instituted a feast that would define His people for generations. This message explores how the Passover reorients time, identity, and worship around the blood of the lamb and points forward to Christ, our true Passover, who forms a people shaped by mercy and grace.

Genesis 50:19-21

Genesis 3:15
