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.
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." 5. Determine to put no obstacle in anyone's way.

Jesus’ death was no accident. The details of His crucifixion unfolded according to God’s plan and fulfilled His Word. 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.
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.
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.
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.
