Pastor Josh finds some great truths from John's account of Christ healing the man at the pool of Bethesda.

The new heaven and new earth will be filled with many glorious breath-taking features. But the most definitive one is the reality that God will dwell with men again. What is the significance of that truth? What will that be like? How should this truth affect our lives today? This Sunday, we will answer those questions by looking at the last two ways God makes all things new. See you then!

The sermon presents a prophetic analysis of the United States as a modern-day Babylon, drawing parallels between the biblical captivity of Judah and the current geopolitical and moral state of America. It argues that the American Empire, led by a figure identified as the Antichrist, is engaging in unjust wars and enabling genocide, particularly in Gaza and Iran, which aligns with the descriptions of the 'daughter of Babylon' in Revelation and Jeremiah. The speaker contends that these actions are part of a divine plan to bring about global tribulation and the eventual destruction of the empire, citing specific political events and military actions as evidence of this trajectory. The message calls for spiritual discernment, urging believers to recognize the evil of these global powers and to look forward to the return of Christ and the establishment of the heavenly Zion. The tone is urgent and convicting, challenging Christians to reject nationalistic pride and align themselves with biblical truth in the face of impending judgment.

Timeless Truths for the Thirsty Soul

What do we do when life brings difficult and challenging circumstances? Do we trust what we have always known to be true? Or do we struggle with doubt, discouragement, and defeat? Study the life of John the Baptist and learn from him.

The profound truth of divine election as presented in John 15, emphasizes that God's choice of believers is rooted in His character and love rather than human merit. The central message highlights that Jesus chose His disciples to be His friends, securing their salvation through His sacrificial death and ensuring their permanent security in Him. The exposition connects this eternal security to the practical command to abide in Christ's love by remaining in His Word and keeping His commandments. It argues that true obedience flows from a heart motivated by love for Jesus, rather than fear of the law, reflecting the intimate relationship He offers. The tone is comforting and pastoral, inviting listeners to rest in the assurance that they are known, loved, and called to share in the fullness of Christ's joy.

This sermon addresses the danger of creating a false image of God that accommodates personal sin, contrasting this with the true nature of the divine as revealed in Scripture. The central message warns against the modern tendency to 'Photoshop' God's character to justify lifestyle choices, citing the Israelites' creation of the golden calf and Paul's exposition in Romans as historical and theological examples. To counter this, the speaker outlines four key attributes of the true God: holiness, sovereignty, unchanging nature, and forgiveness, emphasizing that God is both perfectly pure and mercifully redemptive. The tone is convicting yet pastoral, urging listeners to examine their internal perceptions of God and align them with biblical truth. The sermon concludes with a call to choose between serving a self-made deity or submitting to the Lord, who demands worship in spirit and truth.
