The Way, The Truth, and The Life - Sermon- John 14:6

I Desire Mercy, Not Sacrifice- Sermon- Matthew 9:9–13

We live in a world that knows how to punish but struggles to forgive. In Matthew 9, Jesus does something scandalous: He calls a tax collector, dines with sinners, and confronts the religious leaders with a surprising truth: "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice." This message explores God's relentless mercy, the story behind Jesus' words in Hosea, and what it means to stop keeping score and trust God with justice. If you've ever struggled with forgiveness, resentment, self-condemnation, or the desire to see someone "get what they deserve," this passage offers a better way.

Drawn Into the Divine Life | Trinity Sunday- Sermon- Matthew 28:18–20

On Trinity Sunday, we explore one of the deepest mysteries and greatest gifts of the Christian faith: God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Far from being an abstract theological puzzle, the Trinity reveals the very nature of God as a life of perfect love, self-giving, and communion. In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), Jesus invites us not merely to learn about God, but to be drawn into His life. What does it mean to be baptized into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? How does participation in the divine life transform who we become? And how does that shape our mission as individuals, families, churches, and the global body of Christ? Join us as we discover that the Christian life is ultimately an invitation into the overflowing love of the Trinity—and a call to share that love with the world.

The Holy Spirit: Comforter of Our Souls - Sermon- John 14:15–17

Happy Pentecost! In John 14, Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure — and underneath all their questions is a deeper cry: “Can you comfort us?” Jesus answers by promising the gift of the Holy Spirit — the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, the abiding presence of God with His people. In this Pentecost message we explore: • The Holy Spirit as Comforter • The Spirit who grounds us in truth • How God invites us to participate in His life and mission Jesus does not leave His people as orphans. The Holy Spirit walks with us, steadies us, comforts us, and summons us deeper into the life of God. Scripture: John 14:15–26

Finding Peace and Purpose in Jesus- Sermon- John 14:1, 8-14- Deacon Steven

In this week’s message from John 14:1 and 8-14, Steven encouraged us to let our hearts be untroubled by embracing the calling Jesus offers His followers. Amid the disciples’ anxiety over Jesus’ coming departure, He gave them, and us, three anchors: a command to obey, a calling to embrace, and a conversation to maintain through prayer. Jesus promises that whoever believes in Him will do the works He did, and even greater works because He is going to the Father. These “greater works” are not about outdoing Jesus’ miracles but expanding their reach across time and place through faithful, everyday obedience. Steven reminded us that God has already prepared good works for us to walk in, whether through parenting, mentoring children at CTK, serving in Whiz Kids, or countless other Kingdom impacts. The message closed with a powerful invitation: stop striving, anchor your heart in belief, embrace the works God has prepared, and stay in constant conversation with Jesus through prayer offered in alignment with His name and character.

The Way, The Truth, and The Life - Sermon- John 14:6

“Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Thomas asks one of the most honest questions in all of Scripture — and one that still lives in every human heart. In a world overflowing with information, directions, opinions, AI, and endless “paths,” why do so many still feel lost? In John 14, Jesus does not hand His disciples a map, a checklist, or a five-step plan. He gives them Himself. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” This sermon explores: • Why following Jesus is relational before it is informational • The ancient idea of discipleship as “the way of walking” • Why modern people struggle with truth and direction • How Jesus offers not merely guidance, but presence • Why hearts can remain untroubled even when life feels uncertain John 14:1–6
