This Sunday, Pastor Jon taught from John 10:1–10, where Jesus declares "I am the door," and meets us in one of our most quietly carried human aches -- our desire to belong. When the world offers an exclusive inclusivity, "you're welcome in, as long as you conform," mentality, Jesus offers the inverse. His door is open to anyone, and through His door isn't merely entry, but protection, freedom, and abundance.

Jon and Jennifer Brueggemann are from Thayer County, NE and have homeschooled their 7 children. Today we cover the gamet on issues about government control and eliminating Christ from our lives.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon taught from John 15 and offered a different diagnosis for burnout. While our instinct is often to assume we've simply given too much, he challenged us with another possibility: the problem isn't output but source. We haven't been drawing from the right one. When Jesus calls himself the True Vine, it's one of the most sweeping claims He ever makes. From that foundation, Pastor Jon walked through what abiding actually looks like. It's not about a longer quiet time or more spiritual disciplines, it's about a relationship. Using his own early days dating his now-wife, Christy, as an illustration, he reminded us that abiding is less about effort and more about the security and overflow of a relationship you're already in. That's the kind of intimacy Jesus is inviting us into, and for those who remain in His love and rely on the Spirit's power, the promise is fruit that lasts.

In Ephesians, Paul reveals that marriage is more than a relationship—it's a living picture of Christ and His Church. In Genesis 2:24, the “one flesh” union points to a greater mystery fulfilled in Jesus. This message confronts cultural narratives of power struggles, passivity, and independence, and calls couples back to God's design. Husbands are challenged to lead through sacrificial love, and wives to respond with life-giving partnership. When we embrace this divine choreography, our marriages become a bold declaration of the gospel to the world.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our Come to Me series with a teaching on Jesus' declaration in John 8:12: "I am the light of the world." Jesus' radical claim has both personal and universal implications for us today. Our human tendency may be to impute goodness to ourselves and attribute darkness to others, but the reality is that each of us have darkness in our own hearts that must be dealt with. Jesus leaves all of us with the compelling invitation is to join Him in the light.

Have you ever noticed that when God starts moving in your life… things sometimes get harder before they get better? This Sunday at Mission Grove Church, Pastor Jon continues our Exodus series with a powerful message titled “The Price of Redemption” (Exodus 5–11). We'll wrestle with the tension between the relief we want and the redemption God is actually working.

We all feel it. The world these days feels shaky, scary, shifting, and uncertain. In this last week of our walk through Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Jon explores the reassuring words of our Judge, Lord, and Saviour, who promises that no matter what storms we face, he is a firm and eternal foundation we can depend on without fail. Jesus's assurances don't just stand in this life, but he will stand as our advocate when we are ultimately judged by our Creator if we surrender our lives to his power and kingdom.

In this message from the Family Matters series, Pastor Jon examines God's ingenious design for families and how it depends on servant-hearted humility and mutual submission. Scripture shows that strong families aren't built on control or authority alone, but on Christlike character lived out in everyday relationships.

Is Romans 7 Paul describing the normal Christian struggle with sin—or something else? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten dive into the most debated chapter in Romans, unpacking the goodness of the law, the deadly power of sin, and the cry of “Wretched man that I am!” They explain that while there is truth, this is in some ways descriptive of believers' ongoing battle with sin, Paul's emphasis is on the law's role in exposing sin and driving us to Christ. Who is really speaking here—and what does it mean for us today?We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.

Our Spirit-empowered preaching proclaims Jesus as Lord and Christ.

The Holy Spirit enables us to participate in God's mission.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon kicked off our new series on the "I Am" statements in the Gospel of John with three words that help us make sense of history and our own lives: Messiah, Church, and Kingdom. Jesus is the Messiah, the relationship we were made for. In the midst of our shame, weariness, and brokenness, He invites us to find true rest in Him. Jesus forms the Church, a counter-cultural community that embodies humility, gentleness, and love. And Jesus invites us into the Kingdom, a cause worth giving our lives to, restoring what is broken and giving dignity to the overlooked. Like the woman at the well, our response is to invite others: "Come and see." Over the next eight weeks, this series will equip us to share this hope with the people around us and our city.

We've all attempted something in our lives that was so difficult we eventually ask ourselves, is it even worth it? Sometimes we can even think that about our prayer life. Pastor Jon looks at Matthew 7:7-12 to see what Jesus had to say about prayer and perseverance. He explores what was meant by asking, seeking and knocking; and how Jesus encourages us to keep praying, keep asking for the Holy Spirit, and to always know that God hears and answers, be it with a yes, no, or wait. Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: February 1, 2026

Revelation 1 | The Revelation of Jesus ChristThe Book of Revelation doesn't begin with fear, chaos, or end-times confusion. It begins with a revelation of Jesus.In this message, Pastor Jon walks us through Revelation 1 and reminds us that Revelation is not about decoding symbols as much as it is about seeing the Savior clearly. Before John sees beasts, battles, or judgments, he sees Jesus—glorified, victorious, and standing in the middle of His Church.Jesus is revealed as the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the One who was dead and is now alive forevermore. He holds the keys to death and hell, and He holds His Church in His hands. This is not a distant Jesus. This is a present, powerful, reigning King.Revelation 1 shifts our focus from fear to faith, from uncertainty to authority. When Jesus is revealed correctly, everything else comes into alignment. The Church doesn't survive by strength or strategy—it stands because Jesus stands in the midst of it.If you've been overwhelmed by the times we're living in, this message will re-anchor your faith and re-center your vision on the One who is still in control.This is not the revelation of the end.It's the revelation of Jesus Christ.

We continue the series, Come and See with a message from Pastor Jon titled "Take Away the Stone", based on John 11:17-44.

What happens when God's presence comes into a city? In this conversation, Pastor Jon and Pastor Sam close out our "God Comes Where He's Wanted" series by teaching on the altar of the region. After exploring the altars of the heart, church, and family, we now address what can seem most daunting, moving from personal peace to embracing God's heart for an entire region.  Only when we are heartbroken over our city and places will we begin to prayerfully build the altar of our region. We have to keep contending for our region in faith, declaring that we want Him here until He comes.

In week four of our No Retreat series, we look at God's plan for Joshua at the battle of Ai and the lesson it reveals about victory. When Israel relied on their own strength, they were quickly defeated — but when they followed God's strategy, they found success.In this message, Pastor Jon reminds us that lasting victory comes from trusting God's design, not our abilities. Whether it's marriage, finances, parenting, or your career, God's strategy leads to health, growth, and breakthrough when we're willing to follow His plan instead of our own.

Pastor Jon Ewton guides us through Paul's intense encounters in Acts 22-23, revealing profound lessons on courage in the face of adversity. We witness Paul demonstrating courage in multiple ways: standing with grace by asserting his Roman citizenship to avoid unjust flogging, and speaking courageously with truth when confronting a corrupt high priest and strategically dividing the Sanhedrin by emphasizing the hope of the resurrection. The sermon culminates with the powerful truth that Paul's consistent courage, even amidst fear and feeling alone, stemmed from Jesus Himself standing by him. Pastor Jon challenges us to embrace our unique callings, speak truth with grace, and remember that our unwavering courage comes from Christ's constant presence, empowering us to fulfill our mission.

In this episode of The Blitz, Pastor Jon discusses what to do if and when protesters show up during a Church service. 

A special podcast episode featuring a conversation between Pastor Jon and his dad on multigenerational faithfulness and prayer. 

Where Dave, Whitney, and Laura Woods unpack Pastor Jon's sermon on Paul's approach to a difficult conversation with a complicated audience, exploring how we can share our faith in an often-antagonistic world. They discuss responding with grace, building bridges, resisting judgment, and talking about what Jesus has done. We delve into the critical "us vs. them" mindset, learning how to overcome it by finding common ground and truly seeing others as image-bearers. They share personal insights on the challenges of applying grace to ourselves before extending it to others, and the profound impact of prayer on our hearts. Join us as we reflect on these vital steps for engaging with our community and world, trusting God's leading.   Books mentioned: *   Leadership and Self-Deception by The Arbinger Institute *   The Prodigal Sister by John Piper *   Gospel Fluency by Jeff Vanderstelt *   Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson *   The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson *   Lycanus trilogy by James Islington

Come and See with a message from Pastor Jon titled Philip Said to Him, based on John 1:43-51.

"Turn The Page" - Pastor Jon Vazquez [December 31, 2025] by Bethlehem Church of the Lord Jesus Christ

If transformation is the goal, how do we preach grace without lowering the standard? In this message from Waymaker.Church, we explore how grace doesn't remove the call to change—it replaces self-effort with God's power. Walking through Ephesians 2, we see that transformation begins with resurrection, not self-improvement, and that belonging comes before doing. Grace removes the pressure to prove ourselves and reorders obedience as a response, not a performance. Discover how grace-fueled obedience leads to real, lasting transformation.

Sunday Morning Message

Pastor Jon invites us to step into 2026 with a clear conviction: the gospel doesn't just inform us—it transforms us. From 2 Corinthians 3, we declare this the Year of Transformation, choosing surrender over self-improvement. Tanner Petty then leads us in a powerful time of guided prayer as we turn to the Lord, come unveiled, and live with an expectation of real change in the presence of Jesus.
