In this message Pastor J.R. explains that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep and contrasts Him with false shepherds who manipulate through guilt, fear, and control.He warns that if we don't recognize the Shepherd's voice, we risk following the wrong voices—whether from culture, politics, media, or even past pain. Whereas Jesus' voice doesn't drive with guilt but leads with grace, guiding us through every valley and every mountain, even in heartbreak.He invites us to listen for the Shepherd's voice, trust His protection, and follow Him, because He knows us, loves us, and is calling us home.

In this message, Pastor J.R. teaches that Jesus is the only true door to salvation. In John 10:7–10, Jesus declares that He is the door for the sheep, offering safety, provision, and abundant life, while warning that false doors only lead to destruction. Pastor J.R. emphasizes that good works, religious performance, or cultural “truths” are counterfeit doors that cannot provide true access to God. He explains that Jesus welcomes everyone, not by background or effort, but by entering through Him in faith. Ultimately, Pastor J.R. encourages believers to stop striving to earn salvation and instead rest in the freedom, peace, and purpose found in Christ, the one and only door.

In this message, Pastor J.R. teaches from John 9, where Jesus heals a man born blind, explaining that his condition was not due to sin but so that God's works could be displayed.He highlights how Jesus used messy and uncomfortable means—like mud—to bring healing, suggesting that irritation and hardship can lead to transformation and even be part of our mission.Pastor J.R. encourages listeners to see heartbreak, loss, and anxiety not as punishment but as opportunities for God to work in unexpected ways.
