SERMON: They They May Be One

Before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed for every believer who would come after His disciples—including us. In this lesson from John 17, Josh Watkins explores Christ's prayer for unity and reveals that biblical unity is not the end goal. Rather, it is the means through which the world comes to know Jesus. Using a simple illustration of a window and a picture frame, this message challenges us to consider whether our attitudes, actions, and relationships help people see Christ more clearly—or obscure Him altogether. Scripture: John 17:20-26

SERMON: This is the Life

What is eternal life? Most people think of it as something that begins after death, but Jesus gives a completely different definition in John 17. In this sermon, Josh Watkins explores what it means to truly know God and why eternal life is not merely future-focused, but something believers are called to live right now. This message will challenge the way you think about faith, purpose, work, relationships, and the presence of God in everyday life.

SERMON: Peace in the Middle of It

What kind of peace does Jesus offer when life hurts? In this sermon from John 16:16–33, Josh Watkins explores Jesus’ words to His disciples before the crucifixion and reminds us that Christian peace is not the absence of suffering — it is confidence in Christ in the middle of suffering. Through powerful imagery, honest reflection, and practical application, this message points listeners toward the hope and victory found in Jesus.
