Radical hope is built not on changing circumstances but on being filled with joy and peace through believing, as seen in Romans 15:13: “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” True hope does not come after circumstances improve; it is cultivated by trusting God even when situations remain difficult. Hope remains firm even in disappointment. Abraham believed God’s […]

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is both a historical event and a present reality that offers new life. Jesus was crucified, buried, and on the third day, He rose—not as a ghost or a symbol, but in a real, physical, resurrected body. The stone was not rolled away so He could get out, but so others could see in—death is defeated, and sin has lost its grip. In John 11, the account of Lazarus illustrates that Jesus doesn’t merely bring […]

John 15 teaches that flourishing in life requires a living connection with Jesus, the true vine. Pastor Carl taught that being spiritually disconnected is not simply being lost. It means being exposed to fear, confusion, and the works of the enemy. He said, “Disconnected from God, we’re not just lost. We’re on our own and vulnerable to the enemy’s works.” The sermon included the story of Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who remained in hiding for 29 years after World […]

In this message, Pastor Carl teaches from John 10, where Jesus declares, “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep” (John 10:11). He contrasts the heart of Jesus with the widespread failure of leadership in our culture and in the church—leaders who serve their own interests instead of caring for people. Drawing from Ezekiel 34, he reminds us that God Himself promised to come and shepherd His people: “Behold, I Myself will search […]

Jesus is the Light of the World, offering clarity, direction, and truth to those who follow Him. In John 8:12, He declares, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” This statement is set against the backdrop of the Feast of Booths, where Israel commemorated God’s provision in the wilderness. On the eighth day of the feast, when the temple menorahs were left […]

This message focused on spiritual hunger and Jesus’ declaration in John 6:35: “I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty.” Many of our worst choices, addictions, and emotional struggles stem from “a deep unsatisfied spiritual hunger” and “what we most crave, what we most need, we can only get from Jesus”​. The sermon introduced a new series on the seven “I […]
