What if being stuck in God's "waiting room" is actually an invitation to discover his perfect timing? Through the powerful story of Lazarus, Pastor Jon reveals how Jesus intentionally delayed—not out of indifference, but to showcase something greater. With warmth and wisdom, he unpacks how God's timing, though rarely matching ours, always serves his glory and our growth. Whether you're wrestling with unanswered prayers or searching for peace in the pause, this message offers fresh hope and practical insights for trusting God's timeline. Don't miss this transformative teaching on finding freedom from the grave clothes that bind us even after salvation. Speaker: Jon Gaus

This week Pastor Jon taught from John 10:11-21, where Jesus declares "I am the good shepherd" and asked a question that cuts straight to the heart of modern life: who is actually forming you? From global trust collapsing in institutions to Jesus exposing the Pharisees in John 9, the cycle of bad shepherding is always the same, they scatter when the cost gets real. Jesus differentiates Himself from these poor leaders, and proves to be the ultimate Good Shepherd. He is the shepherd who laid His life down by choice His sheep. Pastor Jon encouraged us to choose wisely who shepherds us, and invited us to Christ's abundant path.

This message from Titus 2:1–3 explores God's design for generational discipleship in the church. Older believers are called to model sound doctrine through their lives, while the younger generation is invited to seek wisdom from proven elders. When generations live in close spiritual relationship, the church becomes strong enough to resist cultural decay.

Do you find prayer difficult? You're not alone. Pastor Jon kicks off the first full sermon series of Plan 3 by looking at the existing culture of prayer in Sanctus Church, and outlining where we want to develop it next. He digs into what prayer itself can look like, and how we will develop our gifts and disciplines to become people who pray without ceasing in a Kingdom way.

What about the Jews who rejected Christ—has God broken His promises? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 9, diving into the doctrine of election, the distinction between ethnic Israel and true Israel, and Paul's anguished heart for his kinsmen. They tackle the potter and clay, Pharaoh's hardening, and why God's sovereign choice never undermines human responsibility or His faithfulness. If God elects some and not others, what does that mean for hope, prayer, and unity in the church 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.

Beholding and Becoming in Friendship and Community: Doubled Joy and Halved Sorrow Our God is a relational God, and he created us to be in relationship with Him and others. How does God use the friendships and communities in our life to make us more like Jesus?  We'll consider unique challenges at each stage of life, and share how life in community has helped us persevere in faith.

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.

Persecution hurts but it can be a blessing.

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.

What does it mean to live with no condemnation, hope in suffering, and a love nothing can sever? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack the soaring heights of Romans 8: freedom from guilt through Christ, life empowered by the Spirit, creation's groaning turned to glory, and the golden chain that secures us forever. What does it mean that God declares us more than conquerors?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.

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.

Pastor Jon has a financial stewardship and health update from our Winter Family meeting!

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.

We continued our "Goods News for Today" series today, with Pastor Jon teaching how the Gospel restores our identity in a culture that self-authors its identity.For more info go to thebridgebiblechurch.com.

"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.
