We've all used the phrase — "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't." But what if the most important truth in the universe sounds too good precisely because it is true? In this episode, Pastor Justin walks through John 19 and shows five ways Jesus explicitly fulfilled Old Testament Messianic prophecy at the cross: his crucifixion among sinners, the parting of his garments, his care for his mother, the vinegar he ...
Jesus stood trial before both Jewish and Roman authorities, yet neither could find any fault in Him. Annas found Him innocent. Caiaphas found Him innocent. Pilate found Him innocent. Again and again, the verdict was the same: not guilty.
Yet the innocent Son of God was condemned while a guilty criminal walked free.
In this message from John 18:28–19:16, we examine Pilate's repeated attempts to establish Christ's innocence and...
There is something deeply moving about the arrest of Jesus in John 18. The King of Glory stands before armed soldiers, fully capable of destroying every enemy with a word, and yet He willingly surrenders Himself to the cross.
He crosses the brook Kidron knowing betrayal is waiting on the other side. He confronts the guards without fear. He protects His disciples instead of Himself. He calms the conflict ...
In this sermon from Deuteronomy 6, Pastor Justin explores how faithful parenting begins with faithful covenant living. Long before Scripture speaks about teaching children, it calls God’s people to love Him with all their heart, soul, and might.
This message walks through “The ABCDs of Fulfilling God’s Covenant,” showing how believers are called to acknowledge the God of the cove...
In John 17, we are given a sacred glimpse into the prayer life of Jesus as He approaches the cross. And what we find is not merely a prayer for relief, comfort, or escape, but a prayer that the glory of God would be seen in His suffering, in His people, and ultimately in eternity.
In this sermon, we consider what it means to pray with the desires of Christ. Our prayers often focus on the removal of sickness, conflict, burdens, and ...
Jesus told His disciples plainly that sorrow, suffering, and tribulation would come, but He did not leave them without hope. In John 16, Christ gives His people real reasons for peace: the presence of the Spirit, the promise of His return, access to the Father, and grace for our weakness. This sermon considers how believers can live with joy and confidence in a broken world because Jesus has overcome the world.
In a world that celebrates comfort, acceptance, and self-expression, Jesus gives His followers a very different expectation: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” (John 15:18)
In this message from John 15:18–16:4, we explore why opposition to the Christian life should not surprise us—and why it should not discourage us. Jesus does not warn His disciples about persecution to f...
True faith comes at a cost, but Jesus promises that the reward is worth the loss. Join Pastor Justin as he shares Jesus' call to take up our crosses and follow Him.
Many people saw Jesus after His resurrection from the tomb, but John's final encounter with Him in Revelation 1 is unique. Join Pastor Justin as he unpacks this mysterious text and explains the impact that the resurrection of Jesus has for us each day.
When we abide in Christ, it changes everything about our relationships. No longer do we love like the world, but through the example that Jesus Christ gave. Join Pastor Justin as he expounds on Jesus' words in John 15:12-17.
Fruitfulness is an essential part of the Christian life that is possible through Christ. Listen as Pastor Justin presents the challenge and comfort found in living a spiritually fruitful life.
As we live in the physical absence of Christ, we can rejoice in the gift of His Spirit, which provides us with everything we need to live for the glory of God. Join Pastor Justin as he presents the realities of living in the presence of the Spirit.
Join Pastor Justin as he returns to the Gospel of John and considers Christ's instruction to keep His commandments.
Join Pastor Justin for the conclusion of the series, "How To Be A Good Steward". This sermon is from 1 Timothy 6 and offers three ways someone can steward their possessions for the glory and enjoyment of God.
What you think about and how you think about it determines who you are. Join Pastor Justin as he gives three practical steps to guide you in stewarding your thought life for the glory of God.
Join Pastor Justin in a very needed discussion about the importance of our bodies. We pray you'll be challenged and comforted by the reality that God cares for your body and is redeeming it through Christ day by day.
Join us as Pastor Justin Oakes delivers a sermon on Ephesians 5:15-21. We pray this episode will challenge you and bless you as you grow deeper in your relationship with Christ.
