Baptism is more than a symbol. It is a declaration of faith, an act of obedience, and a testimony of transformation. In John 15:18–21 and 26–27, Jesus reminds His followers that they no longer belong to the world but to Him. Through baptism, believers identify with a new way of life and community, obey the Lord's command, and publicly proclaim that they have been made new in Christ. In this message, Pastor Kory teaches that baptism represents dying to the old self, being raised to new life, and living as a witness for Jesus. It is both a celebration of salvation and a calling to walk daily in faith, obedience, and joy. Have you experienced the new life that comes from knowing Christ?

What does it mean to live with a joy that never fades? In John 15:11 and 16:20–24, Jesus promises His disciples a joy that cannot be taken away, a joy that is complete, overflowing, and grounded not in circumstances but in the goodness of God. In this message, Pastor Kory reminds us that Christian joy is deeper than happiness. It is a steady confidence in God's goodness that transforms our outlook even in hardship. When we eliminate grumbling and choose to contemplate God's blessings, we discover that joy is not something we manufacture but something that flows from abiding in Christ. Is your joy dependent on circumstances or rooted in the goodness of God?

Abiding in Jesus is more than belief; it is a relationship that transforms us. In John 15:5–11, Jesus calls His followers to remain in His love, obey His commands, and bear fruit that glorifies the Father. Fruit takes time to grow, but obedience rooted in love produces lasting joy. In this message, Pastor Darren reminds us that God is not transactional; He is relational. Obedience is not the means to salvation, but the evidence of it. When we remain in Christ, we experience His deep love, reflect His character, and discover that radical obedience leads to radical joy. Are you striving on your own or remaining in His love?

What if your relationship with Jesus wasn't just that of servant and Master—but of deep, transforming friendship? In John 15:4-5, 9-17, Jesus calls His followers friends, inviting them into a relationship that changes everything. In this message, Pastor Kory explores what it means to be a friend of Jesus—the kind of friendship that transforms how we see success, how we handle family and work, and how we face life's pressures. When we abide in His love, our lives bear fruit, our joy is made complete, and our hearts find rest in His presence. Is Jesus your Lord, your Savior… and your Best Friend?

On the night before His death, Jesus shared intimate words with His disciples—promises meant to anchor their hearts through fear and uncertainty. In John 14:22-31, He speaks of the Helper, the Holy Spirit, the peace that the world cannot give, the call to obedience rooted in love, and the hope of an eternal home with the Father. In this message, Matthew Hernandez reminds us that these Passover promises still hold true today: Help from the Spirit, Obedience born of love, Peace that transcends trials, and an Everlasting reality beyond the present. These are Jesus' final words of hope for all who believe in Him. Are you holding onto temporary comforts—or to the promises of Christ?

Jesus calls us not just to believe in Him but to remain in Him. In John 15:1-5, He paints the picture of the vine and the branches—showing that apart from Him we can do nothing, but in Him we bear much fruit. In this message, Pastor Kory teaches how abiding with Jesus brings peace, purpose, power, and presence into our daily lives. Through this abiding relationship, God the Gardener lifts us up, prunes us, and transforms us into people who reflect His love. Are you clinging to the Vine—or trying to grow on your own?

Life can leave us anxious and uncertain—but Jesus speaks peace into our troubled hearts. In John 14:1-6, He promises His followers a place in the Father's house, secured not by our efforts but through Him: the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In this message, guest speaker Chuck Weiskircher reminds us that heaven is more than our misconceptions—it's the eternal home God has prepared for those who love Him. With Jesus as our guide and our hope, we can face today's troubles with confidence in tomorrow's promise. Are you living with troubled hearts—or with trust in the One who prepares a place for you?

In today's world, finding our identity is a crucial aspect of our lives. Whether through social groups, achievements, or self-declaration, we all strive to answer the question, "Who are you?" However, there is a superior identity that surpasses all others—the Christian identity. Grounded in our relationship with God, it is a perception, performance, and proclamation of who we are, all received from God rather than achieved by ourselves.
