1 november 2026 · 32 min
What moves someone from secret belief to courageous devotion? In John 19:31–42, the death and burial of Jesus bring Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea out of the shadows. This message explores fulfilled prophecy, Jesus as our Passover Lamb, and the assurance of His finished work. As we follow the account from the pierced side to the garden tomb, we’re invited to trust the Savior who paid our debt, cleanses our sin, and brings us to God. Lees meer

John 19:30 | It Is Finished (Pt. II) - Jonny Ardavanis
26 oktober 2026 · 39 min
When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” He proclaimed the completion of His saving work. In this message from John 19:30, we examine how Christ's sacrifice fully satisfied the penalty for sin, fulfilled God's promises, and secured eternal redemption. Because of His finished work, believers can live in freedom, assurance, and victory over death. Lees meer

John 19:19-30 | It is Finished (Part 1) - Jonny Ardavanis
11 oktober 2026 · 41 min
Jesus’ death was no accident. The details of His crucifixion unfolded according to God’s plan and fulfilled His Word. Lees meer
In this episode, we examine John 19:19–29 alongside Psalm 22 to see Jesus as King, High Priest, loving Son, and suffering Savior. Through the dividing of His garments, His care for His mother, and His thirst, we discover the depth of His love and the sacrifice He offered for sinners.
Listen as we consider how the cross strengthens our confidence in Scripture and calls us to respond to Jesus with faith and a life turned from sin.

John 19:16-19 | The Dying Thief & the Crucified Savior - Jonny Ardavanis
4 oktober 2026 · 40 min
In this sermon, we come to the cross - the climax of history and the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus willingly goes to Golgotha as our substitute, bearing the penalty of sin and accomplishing the work of salvation on behalf of sinners. Lees meer
As Jesus hangs on the cross in agony and shame, we see the heart of God displayed in His prayer, “Father, forgive them.” Even one of the criminals who had mocked Him begins to see the truth: he recognizes his guilt, acknowledges that he deserves judgment, and looks to Jesus as his only Savior.
The thief has nothing to offer - no good works to perform and no opportunity to make up for his past. He simply comes to Christ in humble, dependent faith, and Jesus promises him, “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” His story is a powerful picture of the gospel: salvation is entirely by grace, and that grace is offered to sinners who recognize their need and cling to Christ alone.

John 19:1-15 | When Jesus Goes Silent: Pilate's Tragic Decision - Jonny Ardavanis
27 september 2026 · 41 min
In John 19:1–15, Jesus stands before Pilate beaten, mocked, and crowned with thorns. Yet in the midst of His humiliation, we see His glory revealed. The innocent Son of God willingly bears the curse, shame, and suffering that sinners deserve, fulfilling the plan of God and preparing to become the blameless sacrifice in our place. Lees meer
As Pilate wrestles with what to do with Jesus, the passage confronts us with the same question: What will we do with Jesus? Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, yet ultimately chose his position and reputation over Christ. The crowds rejected their true King, but Jesus continued toward the cross—the King who exchanged His crown of glory for a crown of thorns and bore our shame so that we might be clothed in His righteousness.
At the heart of it all is the love of God: He sent His Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

John 18:28-40 | Barabbas & the King of Truth - Jonny Ardavanis
20 september 2026 · 36 min
In John 18:28–40, Jesus stands before Pilate as the innocent King while the world around Him rejects the truth standing right in front of them. As Pilate wrestles with the question, “What is truth?” Jesus reveals that His kingdom is not of this world and that He came to testify to the truth. The truth is not merely something to understand—it is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Lees meer
The passage culminates in a striking picture of the gospel as the crowd chooses Barabbas, a guilty man, to go free while the sinless Christ is condemned. Barabbas walks away because another man takes his place—a picture of what Christ would accomplish for sinners at the cross. The guilty are set free because the innocent Son of God willingly takes their place.

Romans 8:14-17 | The Spirit of Adoption - Brett Zamroz
14 september 2026 · 46 min
What does it mean to truly live as a child of God? Lees meer
In Romans 8:14–17, Paul points us to the work of the Holy Spirit, who assures believers that they have been adopted into the family of God. Those who belong to Christ are no longer slaves living in fear, but sons and daughters who can confidently cry out, “Abba! Father!” We have been given a new relationship with God, a new identity, and the promise of an inheritance that is secure in Christ.
The Spirit’s work in our lives gives us assurance of our adoption as He leads us to put sin to death, frees us from the fear of condemnation, draws us into intimate fellowship with our Father, and gives us confidence in the glory that is still to come. Our hope is not wishful thinking, but a settled certainty rooted in the promises and character of God.
In this sermon, we’ll see how the Holy Spirit leads the children of God:
1. Into Holiness — the Character of Sonship
2. Into Freedom — the Confidence of Sonship
3. Into Intimacy — the Communion of Sonship
4. Into Hope — the Certainty of Sonship
Because of Christ, believers can know that they are loved, accepted, and secure in the family of God. We are His children, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, looking forward with certainty to the day when we will be glorified with Him.

John 18:12-27 | Peter Denies Jesus - Jonny Ardavanis
7 september 2026 · 39 min
In John 18:12–27, two scenes unfold side by side. While Jesus stands firm before His accusers, Peter—the disciple who boldly claimed he would never deny Him—stands nearby and denies three times that he even knows Him. The contrast is striking: Jesus remains faithful in the face of suffering while Peter crumbles under pressure. Lees meer
Peter’s failure reminds us how quickly spiritual confidence, self-reliance, prayerlessness, and comfort can leave us vulnerable to temptation. If Peter could fall, so can we. But his story does not end with his denial. In the middle of Peter’s greatest failure, Jesus looks at him with mercy, goes to the cross to bear the punishment for his sin, and ultimately restores him to a life of purpose.
Peter’s story is a reminder that Jesus does not save and use people because they never fail. He saves sinners who desperately need His grace. Our weakness and failure do not place us beyond the mercy of Christ. The same Savior who forgives also restores, and He can use broken people for His glory and His purposes.

John 18:2-14 | Jesus: Betrayed, Arrested, & Bound - Jonny Ardavanis
30 augustus 2026 · 40 min
In John 18, the quiet of the garden is interrupted as Judas arrives with soldiers to arrest Jesus. But what unfolds is not the story of a helpless man overtaken by circumstances. Jesus knows exactly what is coming, steps forward willingly, and demonstrates that He remains completely in control. He is not coerced toward the cross—He willingly moves toward the very purpose for which He came. Lees meer
Even in the moments leading to His arrest, we see the character of Christ on display. He protects His disciples, shows mercy to His enemies, and willingly accepts the cup the Father has given Him. Jesus stands in the place of sinners, bearing the wrath they deserve so that those who believe in Him can receive grace, life, and joy.
Key Points:
1. Judas' Betrayal
2. Jesus' Power
3. Jesus' Protection
4. Jesus' Mercy
5. Jesus' Mission

John 18:1 | A Tale of Two Gardens - Jonny Ardavanis
24 augustus 2026 · 45 min
As Jesus enters the Garden of Gethsemane, John brings us to the climax of his Gospel. Jesus is not caught off guard or reluctantly swept toward the cross. Knowing exactly what awaits Him, He deliberately moves toward His betrayal, arrest, and death—the true Passover Lamb willingly giving Himself for sinners. Lees meer
But the setting of a garden points us back to another garden. In Eden, sin brought death, separation, and exile from the presence of God. Now, in Gethsemane, Jesus comes as the second Adam to undo what the first Adam brought into the world. He moves toward the curse, abandonment, and judgment that sinners deserve so that our guilt can be removed, our sins forgiven, and what was lost in Eden can ultimately be restored.
In this sermon, we see the deliberate love of Christ as He moves toward the cross and begins to reverse the curse of the fall.
Key Points:
1. God's Initiative
2. God's Location

Proverbs 7 | How Does That Happen? - Harry Walls
16 augustus 2026 · 48 min
How do good people end up making choices they never thought they would make? Proverbs 7 gives us a sobering picture of the path to moral compromise and shows that failure rarely happens all at once. It begins when we become weak in the Word, fail to learn from life, leave our convictions unsettled, flirt with temptation, and underestimate the power and appeal of sin. Lees meer
In this sermon, we look at the warning signs that lead toward compromise and the practical steps we can take to guard our lives. Proverbs 7 challenges us to treasure the truth, cultivate non-negotiable convictions, pursue accountability, practice walking away from temptation, and seriously consider the consequences of our choices.
The question isn’t simply how someone else could fall—it’s whether we are building the kind of convictions today that will keep us from walking down the same path tomorrow.

Psalm 8 | What Is Man? - Jonny Ardavanis
9 augustus 2026 · 41 min
What does it mean to be human, and what gives our lives meaning, value, and purpose? Psalm 8 answers those questions by first turning our attention away from ourselves and toward the God who made us. We cannot truly understand who we are until we understand who He is. Lees meer
Though we are small against the vastness of creation, we are not insignificant. The God who created and rules the heavens is mindful of us. He made us in His image, crowned humanity with glory and honor, and gave us a purpose within His creation.
Ultimately, Psalm 8 points us beyond ourselves to Jesus—the majestic God who took on humanity, came to save sinners, died, and rose again. In Him, we find the answer not only to “What is man?” but also to why we are here and where our hope is found.
Key Points:
1. The Majesty of God
2. The Mindfulness of God
3. The Mission of Man
4. The Majesty of God

Psalm 63 | Satisfied in the Wilderness - Jonny Ardavanis
2 augustus 2026 · 44 min
What sustains a believer when life falls apart? When betrayal, loss, disappointment, and suffering strip away every earthly comfort, where do we turn? Psalm 63 gives us a remarkable glimpse into the heart of David during one of the darkest seasons of his life. Fleeing into the wilderness, pursued by his own son and surrounded by uncertainty, David doesn't simply endure his circumstances—he discovers that God's presence is more satisfying than anything this world could ever offer. Lees meer
In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to hunger for God above all else, to find delight in His steadfast love, and to worship Him even when nothing around us has changed. David's words remind us that the deepest satisfaction isn't found in comfort, success, or changing circumstances, but in knowing and experiencing the living God. Even in the wilderness, God's people can be filled with hope, strengthened by His presence, and anchored by the confidence that His love is better than life itself.
Whether you're walking through a season of suffering, longing for a deeper relationship with Christ, or simply desiring a greater appetite for God, Psalm 63 offers a powerful reminder that the Lord is enough. As David lifts his eyes above the wilderness, we're invited to do the same—trusting that one day every trial will end, every wrong will be made right, and God's people will forever rejoice in His presence and His unfailing love.
Key Points:
1. David's Desire
2. David's Delight
3. David's Devotion

5. David's Destiny

Psalm 51 | Create In Me A Clean Heart - Jonny Ardavanis
26 juli 2026 · 40 min
After his sin is exposed, David doesn't try to excuse himself or minimize his guilt - he runs to the mercy of God. In Psalm 51, we see the prayer of a broken man who knows that forgiveness alone isn't enough. He longs for a clean heart, renewed joy, the nearness of God's presence, and a life that once again reflects the glory of the One he has sinned against. Lees meer
This sermon explores David's journey from conviction to restoration and reminds us that true joy is never found in sin, but in fellowship with God. It also reveals what God has always desired most - not outward religion, but a humble, broken, and contrite heart that depends completely on Him. Through the greater Son of David, Jesus Christ, the mercy David pleaded for is fully and freely offered to all who come in repentance and faith.

Psalm 51/32 | The Curse of a Calloused Conscience - Jonny Ardavanis
19 juli 2026 · 38 min
Psalm 51 records one of the darkest seasons in David's life, yet it also reveals the immeasurable mercy of God toward broken sinners. After attempting to silence his conscience and conceal his sin, David experienced the misery that always follows unrepentance. His story serves as both a warning and an invitation: a warning against hardening our hearts, and an invitation to find cleansing through genuine repentance. Lees meer
A calloused conscience doesn't happen overnight. It is formed one compromise, one excuse, and one act of disobedience at a time. In this message, we examine how sin hardens the heart, why a violated conscience brings misery, and why God's conviction is one of the greatest evidences of His grace.
Key Points:
1. What is the conscience?
2. The curse of a calloused conscience
3. The fruit of a calloused conscience
4. The hope for a pricked conscience
Drawing from Psalm 51 and Psalm 32, this sermon explores the devastating progression of sin, the spiritual and emotional misery of a violated conscience, and the gracious work of God in bringing sinners to repentance. David's life reminds us that concealed sin never brings peace, but confession and repentance lead to forgiveness, cleansing, and restored fellowship with God.
Whether you are struggling with guilt, battling hidden sin, or seeking to better understand the biblical role of the conscience, this message points to the only true hope for a wounded soul: the mercy of God through Jesus Christ, whose blood cleanses the conscience and makes sinners white as snow.

Psalm 51 | David's Plea For Mercy - Jonny Ardavanis
12 juli 2026 · 38 min
In Psalm 51, David—the man after God's own heart—stands exposed by his sin with no excuses, no self-defense, and no confidence in his own righteousness. Instead, he throws himself completely upon the mercy of God. This sermon explores David's broken confession, revealing what true repentance looks like and why God's mercy is the only hope for guilty sinners. Ultimately, Psalm 51 points beyond David to the greater Son of David, Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice provides the cleansing, forgiveness, and restoration every sinner desperately needs. Lees meer

"Living On Mission" - Brett Zamroz
5 juli 2026 · 44 min
What compels someone to spend their life making Christ known? In this message, we examine the heart of the Apostle Paul and the biblical principles that shaped his ministry. Beginning with Paul's deep burden for the lost in Romans 9, we then walk through key passages in 2 Corinthians to discover the convictions that fueled his faithfulness. Lees meer
Whether you serve in ministry or simply desire to live more intentionally for Christ, this sermon offers a clear biblical vision for living on mission—remaining faithful to God's Word, keeping the glory of the gospel at the center, proclaiming Christ above ourselves, walking by faith rather than feelings, and living in a way that removes obstacles to the gospel.
Key Points:
1. Do not peddle the Word of God.
2. Never lose sight of the glory of the message.
3. Proclaim Christ and leave the results in His hands.
4. Walk by faith, not by "feel."

Luke 10:25-37 | The Good Samaritan - Brandon Wolf
29 juni 2026 · 41 min
The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus' most familiar teachings, but its primary message reaches far deeper than simply encouraging kindness. In this sermon through Luke 10:25–37, we examine Jesus' encounter with the lawyer who asked, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" and uncover how Christ exposes the danger of self-righteousness, self-deception, and trusting in our own goodness before God. Lees meer
As Jesus reveals the true demands of God's law—to love the Lord with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself—we are confronted with a standard none of us can meet on our own. Yet rather than leaving us in despair, the passage points us to the only One who perfectly fulfilled the law and offers forgiveness, mercy, and new life through His grace.
Whether you've followed Christ for years or are still wrestling with life's biggest questions, this message is an invitation to examine your heart, abandon self-reliance, and rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:18 | The Christlike Husband & Father - Jonny Ardavanis
21 juni 2026 · 48 min
On this Father's Day, we turn to God's Word to examine His design for husbands and fathers. In a culture filled with competing voices and opinions about family, Scripture provides clear instruction for what it means to lead, love, and serve in a way that honors Christ. Lees meer
From Ephesians, we explore the foundational role of being filled with the Spirit and how that shapes every aspect of a man's life—from his marriage to his parenting. This message highlights the daily commitments of a godly husband and father, calling men to yield to God's Spirit, love sacrificially, pursue holiness, care for their families, and faithfully raise their children in the truth.
Whether you're a father, husband, future husband, or simply seeking to understand God's design for the family, this sermon offers both encouragement and challenge as we look to Christ as the ultimate example of servant-hearted leadership and love.

What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality? - Jonny Ardavanis
7 juni 2026 · 52 min
What does the Bible say about homosexuality? In this message, we examine what Scripture teaches about God's design for marriage, sexuality, and holiness. Looking at key passages throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we consider how God's Word addresses this topic and why it remains important for Christians to understand and respond to with both truth and love. Lees meer
This sermon also addresses several common questions and objections surrounding homosexuality, while emphasizing the authority of Scripture, the call to repentance, and the hope of the gospel. Ultimately, this is not a message of condemnation but of redemption—pointing to the grace, forgiveness, cleansing, and transformation that are available through Jesus Christ for all who turn to Him in faith.

Philippians 4:4-7 | Walking Worthy of the Gospel - Brandon Wolf
1 juni 2026 · 45 min
What does it mean to walk worthy of the gospel? Lees meer
In Philippians 4, Paul gives believers a series of commands that reveal both the authenticity of our faith and the invitation of God to deeper joy, peace, and intimacy with Christ. Rather than finding our confidence in circumstances, we are called to rejoice in the Lord, display a spirit of gentleness and reasonableness toward others, and bring every burden before God through prayer.
This message explores how genuine faith is demonstrated in everyday life, how believers can experience joy even in suffering, and how God's peace guards the hearts and minds of those who trust Him. Ultimately, these commands point us to Jesus Christ—the One who perfectly rejoiced, perfectly obeyed, and carried every burden on our behalf.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, walking through difficult circumstances, or seeking to grow in your relationship with Christ, this sermon offers a powerful reminder that true peace, joy, and rest are found in Him alone.

John 17:6-19 | What Jesus Prays for You - Jonny Ardavanis
24 mei 2026 · 46 min
In this sermon from John 17, we are invited into the true Lord’s Prayer — not the prayer given to the disciples, but the prayer Jesus Himself prayed on behalf of His people. As Christ lifts His disciples before the Father, we are given a glimpse into the heart of our Savior and the ongoing work He is accomplishing for those who belong to Him. Lees meer
Jesus prays for the preservation of His people, their joy in the midst of a hostile world, their protection from the evil one, their growth in holiness through the truth of God’s Word, and their witness to a world that desperately needs the Gospel.

As believers, we are invited near—not to remain distant spectators, but to know Christ deeply and personally.This message examines how Christians grow in their knowledge of God through His Word, through prayer, through suffering, and through the encouragement of His people.

From the words of Christ on the eve of the cross to the testimony of Scripture, this message examines why knowing God is our greatest privilege, the heartbeat of the Christian life, and the believer’s chief ambition. Lees meer
In a world chasing wisdom, success, wealth, and recognition, Scripture calls us to boast in something greater: that we understand and know the living God. This sermon walks through the glory of Christ, the meaning of eternal life, and the staggering reality that the Creator of the universe invites sinners into fellowship with Himself.
-
John 17:1-2 | Jesus: Our Great High Priest - Jonny Ardavanis
4 mei 2026 · 37 min
In this sermon, we walk through John 17 and see what Christ is doing even now—interceding for His people. Throughout Scripture, prophets spoke for God, kings ruled under God, and priests stood before God on behalf of the people. In Jesus, all three find their fulfillment, and here we are given a glimpse into His role as our great High Priest. Lees meer

John 16:16-33 | I Have Overcome the World - Jonny Ardavanis
19 april 2026 · 48 min
In this sermon, we examine the closing words of Jesus in John 16:16–33, spoken to disciples overwhelmed with sorrow, perplexity, and fear as His crucifixion draws near. Yet even in His own coming anguish, Christ lovingly strengthens His followers with hope. He reminds them that their sorrow will be transformed into lasting joy, that through His finished work they will have direct access to the Father in prayer, and that though trouble awaits them in this world, they can take courage because He has overcome it.

In Him, believers find joy no circumstance can steal, access to the Father through prayer, and peace that stands firm in the midst of tribulation.

John 16:12-15 | The Holy Spirit's Holy Word - Jonny Ardavanis
13 april 2026 · 48 min
In this sermon, we step into the final hours of Jesus’ life in John 16:12–15, where He comforts His disciples not by removing their circumstances, but by promising the coming of the Holy Spirit. As they face confusion, fear, and uncertainty, Jesus points them to the One who will guide them into truth and continue His work after His departure. Lees meer
This sermon highlights the divine origin and authority of Scripture—reminding us that God has spoken clearly and faithfully through His Spirit. The same Spirit who guided the apostles into all truth, bringing to remembrance the words of Christ and revealing what was to come, is the One who ensured that what we have today is not human opinion, but God-breathed revelation.
In a world that constantly distorts and relativizes truth, this passage calls us back to the unchanging, trustworthy Word of God. The Spirit does not speak independently or introduce new revelation, but faithfully declares what is from the Father and the Son—glorifying Christ by making Him known through the truth.
Key Points:
1. The Spirit’s Identity
2. The Spirit’s Work
As we consider the role of the Holy Spirit in revealing and inspiring Scripture, we are invited to trust God’s Word fully, treasure it deeply, and submit to it as the ultimate authority for life and faith.

Romans 8:38-39 | Conquering Love - Jonny Ardavanis
6 april 2026 · 40 min
What does it mean to truly be secure in the love of God? Lees meer
In Conquering Love, we look at Romans 8:38–39 and the confidence every believer can have in Christ. While many wrestle with doubt, fear, and the question of whether they can lose their salvation, this passage gives a clear and powerful answer.
Paul walks through a series of questions that confront our deepest insecurities—who can stand against us, who can accuse us, who can condemn us, and ultimately, who can separate us from the love of Christ. The answer, grounded in the gospel, is clear: no one.
Because God did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us, our assurance is not based on how we feel or what we experience, but on what Christ has accomplished. His death paid for sin, His resurrection secured victory over death, and even now He intercedes for His people.
This sermon reminds us that even in suffering, opposition, or seasons of doubt, believers are not defeated—they are more than conquerors through Him who loved them.
Nothing in all creation can separate those who are in Christ from the love of God.

Isaiah 53 | It Is Finished: Isaiah 53 & the Heart of the Gospel
5 april 2026 · 41 min
In this sermon, we turn to Isaiah 53—one of the most profound and prophetic passages in all of Scripture, written 700 years before the cross, yet describing the suffering and sacrifice of Christ with striking clarity. This chapter answers life’s most important question: how can sinful people be reconciled to a holy God? Lees meer
Walking verse by verse, we see the rejection of Christ, the depth of His suffering, and the weight of sin placed upon Him. Jesus, the sinless Lamb, was pierced, crushed, and punished—not for His own sins, but for ours. On the cross, He bore the full wrath of God, accomplishing what we never could: true and complete salvation.
This message reveals the heart of the gospel—substitution, sacrifice, and justification. We are not only forgiven, but declared righteous through Christ. The One who was despised and forsaken now shares the spoils of His victory with those He has redeemed.
At its core, this is a message about the love of God—a love demonstrated in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 16:5-11 | The Holy Spirit: God's Prosecutor - Jonny Ardavanis
30 maart 2026 · 46 min
In John 16, Jesus explains the ministry of the Holy Spirit in a world that stands guilty before a holy God. In this sermon, we see how the Spirit convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment, exposing man’s need for salvation and pointing directly to Jesus Christ as the only hope for sinners. Lees meer
As Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure, He reminds them that the coming of the Holy Spirit is not a loss, but a gift. This message unpacks the seriousness of unbelief, the perfection of Christ’s righteousness, and the certainty of divine judgment, while also holding out the mercy of God in the gospel. The same Spirit who convicts also drives sinners to the Savior who bore wrath in their place and offers forgiveness, righteousness, and peace with God.
Key Points:
1. Sin
2. Righteousness
3. Judgment

In this sermon, we tackle a question that is both sensitive and significant within the life of the church: Does the Bible permit a woman to preach? Lees meer
Approaching the topic with humility and a commitment to Scripture, this message seeks to bring clarity by examining what God’s Word says from beginning to end. Rather than reacting to culture or preference, we look to the Bible as our final authority and aim to handle it faithfully and carefully.
Walking through the full scope of Scripture, this sermon considers the foundation of God’s design, the effects of the fall, the qualifications given for church leadership, the passages that speak directly to this issue, and the most common questions and objections raised today.
This is not about diminishing value or worth, but about understanding God’s design for His church and responding in obedience to His Word.

Colossians 3:16-17 | Day & Night - Harry Walls
15 maart 2026 · 52 min
What does it look like to experience the power of God’s Word every single day? Lees meer
In this message from Psalm 1 and Psalm 19, we explore the often overlooked priority of biblical meditation and the life-changing opportunity it provides. God’s Word is not merely something to read occasionally—it is meant to dwell richly within us as we intentionally internalize it, reflect on it, and apply it to our lives.
Scripture promises stability in storms, vitality in difficulty, fruitfulness in every season, and true spiritual prosperity. The Word of God restores, directs, protects, and satisfies the soul.
This sermon walks through a practical “day and night” rhythm for meditating on Scripture so that God’s Word becomes deeply rooted in our hearts and lived out in everyday life.

John 15:26-16:4 | Christian Boldness in a Hostile World - Jonny Ardavanis
8 maart 2026 · 46 min
In John 15–16, Jesus prepares His disciples for life in a world that will oppose them. Even as He promises His peace, love, and joy, He also makes it clear that following Him will bring hostility from the world. Yet believers are not left alone. Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit and calls His followers to boldly testify about Him in the midst of opposition. Lees meer
In this sermon, we examine Jesus’ words to His disciples and what they mean for Christians today. As the world resists the truth of the gospel, believers are called to depend on the Spirit, faithfully proclaim Christ, and remain steadfast in the mission God has given them.

John 15:18-25 | Why The World Hates Christians - Jonny Ardavanis
2 maart 2026 · 43 min
In a world that prizes acceptance and applause, Jesus offers a sobering promise: “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” In this message from John 15:18–25, we confront a truth many would rather soften—following Christ comes with a cost. Lees meer
From the earliest days of the church to the present hour, those who have identified with Jesus have faced opposition, hostility, and persecution. But this is not accidental. It is not surprising. And it is not without purpose.
In this sermon, we examine why the world hates Christians. The answer is not found in personality, politics, or preference—but in allegiance to Christ. The world hates believers because they refuse to conform to its system. It hates the truth that exposes darkness. It resents the light that confronts sin. And ultimately, it rejects those who follow Christ because it does not know God.
Yet even in a hostile world, Jesus promises something extraordinary—His peace, His joy, His Spirit, and His love. The One who was hated first now strengthens His people to stand firm, speak truth, and remain faithful until the end.
Key Points:
1. Because Christians do not conform
2. Because they hate the truth
3. Because they love sin
4. Because they don't know God
This is a call to courage, conviction, and unwavering allegiance to Christ in an age that increasingly resists Him.

John 15:12-17 | True Discipleship - Jonny Ardavanis
23 februari 2026 · 43 min
In this message, we walk through a clear and compelling framework that reveals the difference between cultural Christianity and genuine discipleship. True faith is not merely claimed, it is demonstrated. Lees meer
The believer loves. Not sentimentally, but sacrificially. A heart transformed by Christ is marked by deep affection for Him and sincere love for others.
The believer obeys. Love for Christ does not remain internal, it moves into action. Obedience is not legalism; it is the natural overflow of devotion.
And the believer multiplies. Faith was never meant to terminate on us. A life changed by the gospel becomes a life that reproduces, invests in others, and makes disciples.
Key Points:
1. Loves
2. Obeys
3. Multiplies
This is the rhythm of a life fully surrendered to Christ.

John 15 | Your Identity In Christ | Union - Jonny Ardavanis
16 februari 2026 · 45 min
Why do so many Christians struggle with temptation, doubt, insecurity, and a lack of spiritual strength? Why does victory in the Christian life often feel elusive? Lees meer
In this sermon, we return to one of the most foundational truths of the New Testament: identity. Scripture teaches that every person is born into one of two realities—in Adam or in Christ. By nature, we are united to Adam, sharing in sin, death, and condemnation. But through faith, God offers a radical transformation: a new identity, a new standing, and a new life in Christ.
Rather than calling us to self-effort or moral improvement, the gospel announces a decisive change of position. The first Adam brought death; the second Adam, Jesus Christ, brings life. This message traces that contrast through Romans, 1 Corinthians, Colossians, and beyond, showing how our union with Christ shapes assurance, holiness, and victory over sin.
If you are battling temptation, weighed down by guilt, or struggling to understand who you truly are as a believer, this sermon calls you back to the fundamentals—not what you must do, but who you already are in Christ.
Key Points:
1. In Adam
2. In Christ
Whether you are seeking clarity, assurance, or new life, this message invites you to reckon the truth of the gospel and live in light of your identity in Christ.

2 Corinthians 12:15 | I Want To Know What Love Is - Harry Walls
8 februari 2026 · 46 min
In 2 Corinthians 12:15, the Apostle Paul offers one of the clearest and most compelling pictures of true love found in Scripture: a love that willingly spends and is spent for the good of others, even when that love is not returned. In a world filled with competing definitions of love—emotional, conditional, and transactional—this message invites us to measure love by a biblical standard rather than a cultural one. Lees meer
This sermon explores love as a settled conviction rather than a fleeting feeling. Paul’s declaration is not rooted in convenience, reciprocity, or personal gain, but in commitment, sacrifice, and Christlike resolve. His love becomes the foundation for trust, influence, and spiritual impact, revealing that true love is not about getting something from others, but giving oneself for their good.
Rooted in the example of Christ, this message reminds us that biblical love is supernatural in nature. It is not driven by what is deserved or returned, but by a heart transformed by the love of God. As we abide in Christ, His love is displayed through us, allowing others to see a God they cannot see through a love they deeply long for.
Key points:
1. Heartfelt resolution: an “I will” determination
2. Others-centered passion: a “for you” at “my expense” action
3. A Christlike reflection: “I will” even if you don’t… conviction

What does it mean to abide?

Hebrews 2:9-11 | Four Reasons Jesus Came - Jonny Ardavanis
21 december 2025 · 40 min
Why does Christmas matter? Beyond tradition and nostalgia, Scripture presents the birth of Jesus as a real event in history with eternal significance. Hebrews 2 gives us God’s explanation for the incarnation—why the Son of God took on flesh. Writing to believers tempted to drift, the author points us to four reasons Jesus came: to be our substitute, to supply our righteousness, to conquer sin, death, and the devil, and to become our merciful and faithful help. From the manger to the cross and the empty tomb, this message reminds us that Christmas cannot be separated from the gospel. Jesus did not come merely to inspire, but to save, calling us to move beyond sentimentality and to “consider Jesus.”Key Passage: Hebrews 2Key Points:Jesus Came to Be Our SubstituteJesus Came to Supply Our RighteousnessJesus Came to Conquer Death and the DevilJesus Came to Be Our Help Lees meer
