I Have Overcome the World — Sunday Sermon, March 26, 2023 (27:44) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Jesus, on the night before he would be crucified, gave his apostles promises and instructions that would bring them peace in this troubled world. These promises reassure us, and these instructions guide us, as we also live for God and receive peace in spite of the world's many troubles—for Jesus, in whom we trust, overcame the world. Text: Selections from John 14-16 |

The New Command — Sunday Sermon, March 19, 2023 (36:29) Sunday Sermon by Walt Ranta — Jesus taught his followers to love one another as he loved us, and then he showed the full depth of his love by loving even Judas (who would betray him) and Peter (who would disown him). Text: John 13 |

Blindness and Sight — Sunday Sermon, February 26, 2023 (30:47) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — What causes some people's eyes to be open to see Jesus clearly, while others' eyes are blinded to him?

The Light of the World — Sunday Sermon, February 19, 2023 (30:58) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Jesus claimed to be the light of the world. What did that mean? And as Jesus shines his light on our hearts and lives, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Is he, as the light of the world, a friend or a threat? Text: John 8:12-59 |
Season 4, Episode 6 — February 12, 2023
Who Is This Man? — Sunday Sermon, February 12, 2023 (29:51) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Great confusion surrounded Jesus as he taught in the temple courts one festival week. Some thought he was a good man, others saw him as a deceiver. Some thought he was demon-possessed, some wanted him dead, others believed in him. Who was this man Jesus, really? Those who took the time to listen to him—to truly listen, in spite of their own expectations, disappointment, or confusion—found that he brought them a message of hope from God. Text: John 7 |
