Sermons from 2025
The Bride and the City
Sermon text: Matthew 2:1-12; Revelation 21:1-7 We live between the world that is passing away and the world God is making new—and when God’s future breaks into the present, we must choose how we will live. Header image by nikki gibson on Unsplash.
The Unveiling of God’s Presence
Sermon text: John 1:1-14; Revelation 11:15-19 Christmas reveals the true nature of God’s kingdom—not as domination or control, but as transforming presence. By tracing the unveiling of God’s reign and its fulfillment in Jesus, we see that God’s presence was never meant to be used as a tool to secure outcomes or win battles. Instead, it calls for humility, surrender, and trust. Header image by NATHAN MULLET on Unsplash.
The Manger, The Throne, and the Invitation to Participate
Sermon text: Luke 2:1-20; Revelation 4:1-11; Revelation 5:1-14 Christmas reveals a kingdom unlike any other: while Caesar ruled through power and decree, God entered the world in humility through a child laid in a manger. When Luke 2 is read alongside Revelation 4–5, we see that the baby born in weakness is the Lamb who reigns on the throne, redefining true power. This message invites us not just to observe Christmas, but to surrender our “crowns,” enter God’s presence, and…
The Child and The Dragon
Sermon text: Matthew 1:18-25; Revelation 12:1-6 An apocalyptic Christmas pulls back the curtain and reveals that the battle is real—but so is God’s peace. Revelation shows us the cosmic conflict behind Christ’s birth, and Matthew shows us how Joseph entered that chaos through listening obedience. When we, like Joseph, learn to hear God’s voice and follow it with courage, we experience the Shalom Jesus gives in the midst of the world’s noise. Header image by Blond Fox on Unsplash.
Cross-Shaped Vision
Sermon text: Mark 8:31-38 The Cost of Clear Sight…Jesus brings our understanding of Him into sharp focus by confronting our expectations, clarifying what true glory looks like, correcting our misplaced values, and calling us to a costly but life-giving discipleship. The cross is the lens that reveals who Jesus truly is—and who we must become as His followers. When we see Jesus through the cross, His character becomes our character, His mission becomes our mission. Header image by Rod Long…
First Touch, Second Touch
Sermon text: Mark 8:22-30 The Process of Seeing Jesus Clearly…Jesus heals a blind man in two stages to reveal that transformation is a process, not a moment. The first touch shows His compassion that connects; the second touch shows His clarity that corrects. Just like the disciples—who confess Jesus as Messiah but still see Him “blurry”—we need repeated encounters with Jesus to see Him, and ourselves, with true spiritual clarity.

Three Blind Mice: Do You Still Not See?
Sermon text: Mark 8:11-21 In this passage, Jesus exposes three kinds of spiritual blindness—refusal (Pharisees), hardness (Herod), and forgetfulness (the disciples)—all of which keep people from seeing what is right in front of them. Through His piercing questions, Jesus invites His followers to recognize their own blind spots and soften their hearts through obedient trust. True sight comes not from demanding more signs, but from staying close to the Savior who alone can open our eyes. Header image by Nikolett…
Grace Beyond Borders
Sermon text: Mark 7:24-37; Mark 8:1-10 When Crumbs Become a Feast…Jesus crosses every boundary—ethnic, social, and spiritual—to reveal that God’s grace knows no limits. From a desperate Gentile mother pleading for a crumb, to a deaf man hearing the word “Be opened,” to a hungry crowd fed in the wilderness, each encounter expands the circle of divine compassion. What begins as exclusion becomes invitation; what looks like scarcity becomes abundance. The movement from crumbs to a feast points to the…
Clean Hands, Corrupt Hearts
Sermon text: Mark 7:1-23 This message uncovers the illusion of external purity and the exhaustion of performing spirituality. Through Mark 7, we see Jesus dismantle the masks of religion and ideology, inviting us to drop the act and be transformed by His presence and mercy at the Cross. Header image by Rach Teo on Unsplash.
Jesus in the Boat
Sermon text: Mark 6:45-56 “Learning to Minister from Presence, Not Pressure.” Even when Jesus lives in our hearts, He can still feel far away. The focal passage inspires us to stop rowing harder and start resting deeper—learning that ministry flows not from pressure, but from His presence in the storm.
