Join us for a powerful message based on Luke 24:25-35, "Open Your Eyes." Have you ever felt lost, disheartened, or blinded to God's presence in your life? In this sermon, we explore the journey of two disciples on the road to Emmaus, walking away from shattered hopes and dreams. Just like them, we can sometimes miss what God is doing right alongside us. Discover through this passage: God is listening to you: Even in their sadness and confusion, Jesus met the disciples where they were and listened to their story. God is pursuing you: Jesus actively joined their journey, drawing near to them even when they didn't recognize Him. He walks with us, pursuing a relationship with us. God will open your eyes to the Gospel: It was as Jesus explained the Scriptures and broke bread with them that their eyes were opened, and they finally recognized the risen Lord. God desires to reveal Himself and the truth of the Gospel to you. Prepare to have your eyes opened to the transforming presence of Jesus in your own life. Whether you're feeling distant from God or seeking a deeper understanding of His pursuit of you, this sermon will encourage and challenge you.

This sermon, titled "If I Only Had Time," draws its inspiration from the powerful call to action in Romans 13:11. The Apostle Paul urges believers to "wake up from sleep," recognizing the critical hour in which we live. We often hear or even say, "If I only had time..." – a phrase that highlights our awareness of its scarcity. This message will explore the profound truth that time is precious. It is a gift, each moment an opportunity. Yet, the reality is that time is fleeting. It slips through our fingers like sand, and the moments we are given are quickly gone. Romans 13:11 reminds us of this transient nature of time, emphasizing that our "salvation is nearer now than when we first believed." The time for spiritual complacency is over. Perhaps, like those in Romans, we have become comfortable, enjoying the shade of spiritual ease or worldly distractions. This sermon will challenge us to consider what it means to be truly awake in our faith, actively living in light of the approaching "day" that Paul speaks of. Join us as we delve into Romans 13:11 and confront the excuses of "If I Only Had Time," understanding the urgency of our spiritual walk and the precious, fleeting nature of the time we have been given to live for Christ.

In the heart of Jesus' farewell discourse to His disciples, we find one of His most profound and exclusive declarations: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).
This sermon delves into John 14:1-14, a passage where Jesus comforts His troubled disciples, promises a place for them, and responds directly to their questions about the path to God. We will explore:
The Context of Comfort: Why Jesus offers these words of assurance in a time of uncertainty for His followers.
Jesus as the Way: What it means for Jesus to be the sole path to the Father, challenging other potential routes or philosophies.
Jesus as the Truth: How Jesus embodies ultimate reality and divine revelation, cutting through confusion and deception.
Jesus as the Life: Understanding Jesus as the source of spiritual and eternal life, offering abundant existence here and hereafter.
Philip's Request and Jesus' Response: The significance of seeing the Father through Jesus and the power available to believers.
Join us as we unpack this foundational truth of Christianity, discovering the singular sufficiency of Jesus Christ for our journey to God, our understanding of reality, and our experience of true life. This message offers clarity, comfort, and a compelling call to place our trust entirely in Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

This sermon, drawing from John 13:36-38 and John 21:1-19, explores the profound reality of human failure and the transformative power of God's response. We will journey from the initial failure in the Garden of Eden to the personal crisis of Peter's denial, ultimately discovering hope and restoration in the person of Jesus Christ.
1. Failure in Eden: The Genesis of Brokenness We begin by examining the foundational failure of Adam and Eve in Eden. Their disobedience introduced sin and brokenness into the human experience, establishing a pattern of falling short of God's design and desires. This initial act of turning away from God set the stage for all subsequent human failures.
2. Peter’s Crisis of Failure: Three Denials Moving to the New Testament, we witness a powerful and relatable example of failure in the life of Simon Peter. Despite his bold declarations of loyalty, Peter tragically denies knowing Jesus three times during Christ's trial. This moment of profound personal failure highlights the often-painful reality of our own weaknesses and the capacity for even the most devoted to stumble.
3. A Response to Failure: Jesus' Pursuing Grace The heart of the sermon lies in Jesus' response to Peter's failure in John 21. We will explore the post-resurrection appearance where Jesus, instead of condemning Peter, graciously pursues him. Through a series of questions, Jesus addresses Peter's failure not with shame but with an invitation to reaffirm his love and resume his calling. This encounter reveals the depth of Jesus' grace, forgiveness, and unwavering commitment to his followers.
4. Jesus and Our Failures: The Path to Restoration Finally, we will consider what Peter's story and Jesus' response mean for us today. How does the reality of our own failures intersect with the persistent grace of Jesus? This section will offer insights into finding forgiveness, experiencing restoration, and moving forward in faith despite our shortcomings, empowered by the same love and grace that transformed Peter.
Join us as we confront the reality of failure head-on and discover the liberating truth that in Jesus, our failures do not define us; rather, they can be the ground upon which God's most profound work of restoration takes place.

In this powerful sermon, we explore one of Jesus' most profound "I Am" statements from the Gospel of John. After miraculously feeding the five thousand, Jesus declares, "I am the bread of life" - revealing a spiritual truth that transcends physical hunger.
The message delves into three essential practices for every believer:
1. We must Believe in Jesus
Jesus makes it clear: "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." More than intellectual assent, this belief transforms our spiritual identity. Just as bread sustains physical life, faith in Jesus sustains our spiritual life. We'll explore how genuine belief moves us from seeking signs to trusting His promises.
2. We must Connect with Jesus on a regular basis
Jesus offers himself as the "bread that comes down from heaven." Unlike the manna that sustained the Israelites temporarily, Jesus provides eternal nourishment. This section examines practical ways to "feed" on Christ daily through prayer, Scripture, worship, and community - creating rhythms that sustain spiritual vitality.
3. We must Listen to what Jesus says
"Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me," Jesus teaches. This portion explores the transformative power of actively listening to Christ's words. When we truly hear Jesus, we receive life-giving instruction that satisfies our deepest spiritual hunger and leads us to eternal life.
The sermon concludes with Jesus' remarkable promise: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever." Unlike physical food that temporarily satisfies, Jesus offers himself as the bread that eternally sustains - inviting us into a relationship that nourishes our souls both now and forever.
