The Man Born Blind — John 9:1-41 (06.28.2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:
This sermon works through John 9, where Jesus heals a man born blind and reveals the deeper truth of spiritual sight. Pastor Ben traces six scenes of the story, highlights the disciples' blind spots, the Pharisees' pride, and the parents' fear, and shows how Jesus turns physical healing into a call to spiritual sight.
The message emphasizes that salvation is seeing: those whose eyes are opened respond with surrender, bold testimony, and worship, and are sent to help others see the light of Christ.

Freedom vs Bondage — John 8:31-59 (06.21.2026)

Pastor Kevin Stradley:
In this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks through John 8 (vv.31–59), highlighting Jesus’ claims of unity with the Father, the contrast between the father of lies and the Father of truth, and the promise that abiding in Christ’s word brings true freedom from sin.
Drawing lines to the Feast of Booths and a Father’s Day context, the message calls listeners to receive Christ’s word, confess sin, and bring others from darkness into the light of the gospel.

The Light & the Darkness — John 8:12-30 (06.14.2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:
This sermon examines John 8:12-30, where Jesus declares, "I am the light of the world." It covers his confrontation with the Pharisees, the call to believe and follow Christ rather than a personal or modified Jesus, and the warning that rejecting him leads to dying in sin. The sermon points to the cross as the clearest revelation of the Father and invites listeners to turn from darkness to the light of life.

The Overflowing Christian — John 7:37-52 (06.07.2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:
Jesus stands at the Feast and invites the thirsty to come, believe, and receive the Spirit so that the life of Christ fills them.
As we drink deeply through Scripture by the Spirit, our hearts are renewed and overflow in words and actions that bless and testify to others.

Rivers of Living Water — John 7:1-39 (05.31.2026)

Guest Preacher Ben Whittinghill:This sermon explores how Jesus avoids public danger in Galilee, then quietly attends the Feast of Booths and teaches in the temple, speaking the Father’s words with authority.
He challenges religious hypocrisy, explains his obedience to the Father, and on the feast’s final day invites the thirsty to come to him and receive the Spirit — rivers of living water for all who believe.

Jesus is True Bread - John 6:22-71 (05.24.2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:
In this sermon on John 6:22–50, the preacher examines Jesus’ encounter with the crowds after the feeding of the 5,000, highlighting Jesus’ claim, "I am the bread of life," and what that means for true spiritual satisfaction.
The message contrasts earthly motives with God’s sovereign drawing, teaches that faith (not works) is the work God requires, and urges listeners to cling to Christ even when his words are difficult to accept.

The Lord of the Storm - John 6:16-21 (05.17.2026)

Pastor Nathan Sing:This sermon on John 6 explores the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee.
Hearing the story of the disciples struggling in a storm, the message reminds listeners that Jesus sees our suffering, declares himself as God (“I AM”), and comes to meet us in our darkest hours. Obedience can lead through hardship but cultivates true discipleship, and Jesus’ presence brings control, comfort, and hope.
The sermon closes with an invitation to trust the Savior who walks on our waves, cares deeply, and promises an end to suffering for those who follow him.

Beyond Human Logic - John 6:1-15 (05.10.2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:
In this sermon, Pastor Ben opens John 6 and walks through the feeding of the 5,000, setting the scene and explaining how Jesus intentionally orchestrates tests to reveal and grow faith.
He draws four practical lessons the disciples learned: Jesus orchestrates our tests; look to him for supernatural help; trust him as the Good Shepherd who provides and invites rest; and refuse to use Jesus to serve your own agenda.
The message encourages listeners to bring whatever they have to Christ, expect God to act beyond human logic, and submit to his ways for their good and his glory.

Witnesses to the Son of God - John 5:30-47 (05.03.2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:In John 5, Jesus presents clear evidence of his identity — the Father’s testimony through John the Baptist, the miraculous works he performs, and the Scriptures — yet the religious leaders fail to believe.
This sermon explores how disordered loves, the pursuit of human approval, and misplaced confidence in the law prevent people from seeing Christ, and calls listeners to come to Jesus for true life and salvation.

That You May Marvel - John 5:16-29 (04.26.2026)

Pastor Ben Presten:This sermon walks through John 5:16–29, explaining the context of the conflict between Jesus and the Jewish leaders, Jesus’ claim to be equal with the Father, and the life‑giving offer of faith that moves people from death to life.
Listeners are invited to marvel at Christ’s identity and the gospel—turning from self‑righteousness to faith so that the veil is removed and eternal life is received.
