In John 8:2-11, Jesus confronts both public sin and hidden self-righteousness when religious leaders bring a woman caught in adultery to shame her and trap Him. By saying the one without sin should cast the first stone, He exposes their hypocrisy and causes the accusers to leave as their own consciences convict them. Standing before the only true Judge, the woman receives mercy rather than condemnation, yet Jesus also calls her to leave her life of sin. The story reveals the heart of Christ: He refuses both self-righteous shaming and casual tolerance of sin, offering mercy that leads to transformation.

In this message Pastor Austin teaches from John 5, a story that centers on Jesus healing a man paralyzed for 38 years at the Pool of Bethesda. The story reveals that Jesus sees the overlooked, exposes our deeper wounds, and offers far more than temporary physical healing—He offers eternal life through knowing Him as Savior. Ultimately, the sermon emphasizes that while God heals bodies (which is temporary), the greater miracle is spiritual salvation and knowing God, as we are sustained by His boundless grace even in unhealed suffering.
John 5:2-17 /w Pastor Jacob SheriffAt the pool of Bethesda, Jesus steps into a place filled with brokenness, superstition, and long-held hopelessness. This passage invites us to examine our own hearts. Often the greatest barrier between us and the transforming work of Jesus is not our weakness but our reluctance to surrender our excuses, identities, and desires.Support the showhttps://victorylifechurch.com/teachings/
Dramatic irony is when the audience clearly understands something the characters in the book, play or movie do not. We say or think things like, “Don't open that door!” "Don't get on that plane!” “He's not who he says he is!" We have a fair amount of dramatic irony at play in Luke 22:47-65. No matter how many times I read about Jesus' betrayal and denial, or see it depicted in a movie or a TV show, it never gets any easier. There's some part of me that wants to yell at the characters, “Don't do it!” Or warn Jesus, “It's a trap!”But there's more going on here other than just a series of moral failures. Even in the Garden of Gethsemane, there's incredible Good News in view! Can you see it? If not, relax your focus and we'll look at it together this Sunday.
We think we can control what Jesus can or cannot do in our lives. We think we can define how and when he works in our lives. The gospel teaches us that God is sovereign over all things, even when it seems like we are in control and he is not. He is always in control. His work of grace, redemption, and salvation will be accomplished whether we want to or not.

Sunday, March 1, 2026 Series: Greater Than All Gods Passage: Exodus 12:29-51
The sermon explores Jesus cleansing the temple as an act of righteous zeal, revealing God's unchanging desire to dwell intimately with His people—from the Garden of Eden to the cross. It contrasts superficial "Tucker Touch" cleaning with deep purification, applying this to Christ's prophetic act where He became the temple, taking our impurity upon Himself. The core takeaway is to behold the Lamb daily rather than self-condemn; through surrender and gazing on Jesus, He accomplishes ongoing cleansing in our lives, making our bodies temples of the Holy Spirit.
John 2:13-22 /w Pastor Austin HixJesus' cleansing of the temple reveals His holy zeal, a passionate love for His Father that refuses to allow worship to be corrupted or people to be exploited. It also points forward to a new kind of temple, where through His death and resurrection God chooses to dwell not in buildings, but in the hearts of His people.Support the showhttps://victorylifechurch.com/teachings/
This week Pastor Philip Revell preaches from John 1:19-34, continuing in our sermon series "Knowing Jesus".
We tend to rely on our own strength to be enough in life for God, ourselves, and our families. In our pride, we rely on the power of the flesh, rather than seek the strength of the Spirit in prayer to overcome. But Jesus shows us where unfailing strength comes from by modeling how to endure and walk in obedience. It is all through prayer.

Stories shape us. They form how we see the world and who we believe we are becoming. This message invites us to be shaped by the truest story, the story of Jesus. When John the Baptist calls Jesus "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world," he isn't using a random metaphor; he's pulling on a long thread of Scripture that stretches from Eden to Passover to sacrifice to salvation. To understand Jesus rightly, we need the backstory: sin is not only personal guilt but an enslaving power; judgment is real because God is holy; and salvation is possible only because God Himself provides the Lamb. Jesus is not a self-help solution, He is the rescue of God, the Lamb whose blood covers, whose sacrifice frees, and whose grace invites awe.

Our hearts betray Jesus because we are selfish, sinful, and broken, and there's nothing we can do on our own to change that. We have all betrayed Jesus through sin and rebellion. Christ died for the sake of sinners, so that we could be redeemed and be ready for his return. If we trust in his work for our salvation (his body and blood) instead of our work for salvation, he will redeem us, heal us, and fit us for his coming Kingdom.

In this sermon on the letter to Smyrna, Andrew characterizes the congregation as an underdog community enduring the suffocating pressure of persecution within a wealthy, empire-loyal city. Believers there faced poverty and slander for refusing to engage in civil worship, defined as the compromising alliance of religious faith with political and national identity. To counter this fear, the message presents a theology of hope based on Jesus' identity as the sovereign First and Last who has already conquered death, assuring followers that while their suffering—symbolized as "ten days"—is inevitable, it is also temporary. The text urges the church to remain faithful even to the point of death, promising that such non-violent resistance and undivided allegiance to the Lamb will not only secure an eternal victor's crown but also serve as a catalyst for the Kingdom of God in a hostile world.
John 1:19-34 NIVBig Idea: It's not about you, it's about Jesus. Use your life to point to Him.Backround: John the Baptist was a rock star! A prophet living in the Jordan River Valley who had a big following. People from all over would come to listen to his message of repentance and baptism. John had his own disciples, who would later become Jesus's disciples. Also, John the Baptist was a relative of Jesus.1. John knew who he wasn'tWith everyone trying to figure out who they are, John starts with who he is not. “Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the messiah”.How many times have we put ourselves in position to get credit instead of “Beholding the Lamb”?2. John knew who Jesus was-The Lamb of God-The sin-bearer-Greater than John-Pre-Existent-The Chosen One 3. John knew what Jesus Does“Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” John 1:29 John demonstrated how we “Behold the Lamb”- Know who you are not- Know who Jesus is- Know what Jesus has done

Pastor Matt launched a 10-week journey through the Gospel of John, part of a larger series covering John, Acts, and Romans - three books he considers essential for understanding the Christian life. He explained that John's Gospel is 93% unique material that supplements the other Gospels, with the purpose stated in John 20:31: "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." The sermon focused on John 1:1-34, beginning with the prologue that establishes Jesus as the eternal Word who "was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). Pastor Matt then examined John the Baptist's declaration of Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29), connecting this title to Old Testament imagery of sacrificial lambs and the Day of Atonement. He explained how Jesus fulfills both the sacrificial goat (whose blood covers sin) and the scapegoat (who carries sin away), emphasizing that our greatest problem isn't our circumstances but our sin. Pastor Matt concluded by explaining that salvation is received as a gift through faith, not achieved through works, and called for honest self-reflection about one's relationship with Jesus.
In this message, Andrew introduces a sermon series on the book of Revelation, aiming to reframe it not as a confusing prediction chart for the end of the world, but as a book of hope and courage for faithful discipleship in the present. Andrew addresses the common fear and dread associated with the book, explaining that its main message is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, who is the slain yet victorious Lamb, and that the text is an "apocalyptic vision" that unveils the unseen, spiritual reality of the cosmic battle between the Lamb and the Dragon (Satan/Babylon). By emphasizing that things are "not as they seem," the message encourages the church, which is living under pressure in the "heart of Babylon," to find joy in the imminent return of Jesus and to live as "dissident disciples" who embody God's future heavenly city in the world today. This is Part 1 in the series

2nd Sunday in Ordinary time, Year A Gospel John 1:29-34 John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. He is the one of whom I said, 'A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.' I did not know him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel." John testified further, saying, "I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God."

Behold, the Lamb of God! - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 11 (John 1:29-42) by Shawn Ozbun
Mass Readings for Second Sunday of Ordinary Time - January 18, 2026 Reading 1, Isaiah 49:3, 5-6 Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10 Reading 2, Corinthians 1:1-3 Gospel, John 1:29-34
BEHOLD is a word we do not use a lot in our modern use of the English language. However, if we look closely at that word, we realize it has a specific and profound meaning for us. Every Mass we attend we hear it in reference to the Eucharist just confected by the priest. Maybe we should examine how we respond to that word, and ultimately, that reality.
A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto, January 18, 2026. Today's Gospel presents the account of Jesus' baptism seen through the lens of John the Evangelist. Its the Evangelist's take. The Baptist appears in the description. (John 1:29-34). But John the Evangelist here interprets the baptism not simply as an event, but as a revelation of identity and mission. Jesus' mission is to be the Lamb that will take away the sin of the world. We need humility to recognize our sins, and embrace God's forgiveness. Have I really done that?Thumbnail : Francisco de Zurbarán, The Lamb of God, 1635, Prado Museum in Madrid.Music: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Angelic, with license.
