Beschrijving

In this sermon, John unpacks Luke 15 and the parable often called “The Prodigal Son,” showing that it is ultimately a revelation of the Father’s heart. Through the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, we see a God who watches, waits, runs, restores, and celebrates when the lost come home. The message also challenges us not to live with the cold distance of the older brother, but to catch and carry God’s heart for others through prayer, kindness, love, and mission.

Prepared for the Spontaneous- David Raynor

In this message, we explore the tension between our plans and God’s sovereignty, looking at how Jesus lived with both intentional rhythm and complete openness to the leading of the Father. Through moments from the life of Jesus, particularly His encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, we see that kingdom ministry is often found not in perfectly controlled schedules, but in holy interruptions, Spirit-led conversations, and simple obedience. This sermon challenges us to move beyond merely having “good ideas” and instead become people who are spiritually prepared for whatever God places in front of us. From the secret place of prayer to spontaneous moments of witness, we are reminded that effectiveness in public ministry flows from intimacy with God in private. As followers of Jesus, we are called to live ready: ready to listen, ready to respond, ready to share our testimony, and ready for the unexpected ways God may use ordinary moments for eternal impact.
