In this message, NextGen Pastor Ben Lakin explores the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ triumphal entry and what it reveals about the kind of King He truly is—bold in identity yet humble in approach, determined to go to the cross for the people He loves. The story confronts a personal question for every one of us: Who is sitting on the throne of your life?

Life is full of waiting rooms.
In this message, we walk through one of the most powerful stories in the Gospel of John and discover a truth we desperately need in our own waiting seasons: God is always right on time. His timing may not be our timing, and the right time is not always right now, but His silence does not mean His absence. Even in grief, disappointment, and unanswered prayer, Jesus is still working.

The voice you listen to determines the life you follow.

“Only God can judge me.”

It’s a phrase our culture uses to shut down criticism—but in John 8, we see what it truly means when Jesus is the One standing in the place of judgment. In this message from our Come and See series, Pastor Josue walks through John 7:53–8:11 (the woman caught in adultery) and shows how Jesus responds when religious leaders drag a woman into public shame to trap Him.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

If you’ve ever asked that question—after tragedy, injustice, or pain that felt undeserved—you’re not alone. In John 9, Jesus and His disciples meet a man who was blind from birth, and the disciples immediately want an explanation: “Who sinned?” “Who’s to blame?” But Jesus refuses the blame game and reframes the conversation completely.

In this message, we see that not all pain has a clear reason—but no pain is wasted. Jesus calls Himself the Light of the World and proves it by healing the man’s physical blindness… whil

Most of us can name it instantly. But when we’re honest, the harder question is this: **Do you actually believe it can change? In this message, “The Paralysis of Hopelessness,” we open John 5 and meet a man who has been stuck for 38 years—watching other people get their breakthrough while he stays in the same place. Over time, his paralysis becomes more than physical. It becomes hopelessness.

In this message from John 4, we explore the story of Jesus and the woman at the well and uncover a deeper truth: many of us are drinking from wells that can never truly satisfy. Success, relationships, money, control, approval—these things offer temporary relief, but they always leave us wanting more.

Why did Jesus clear the temple?

In this message from our Come and See series, we explore John 2 and the powerful moment when Jesus flips tables in the temple. This wasn’t about anger or banning commerce—it was about tearing down walls that kept people from God.

Jesus confronts injustice, exclusion, and spiritual barriers, and declares that He is the way to God. Making Space challenges us to ask what walls still exist today—and how the church can make Jesus easier to find, not easier to follow.

Key themes:
Jesus clears the temple • John 2 • Making room for the one • Church and mission • A house of prayer for all nations

In this message from John 2, we walk into the wedding at Cana and discover that Jesus’ first miracle wasn’t just about wine — it was about obedience. The servants didn’t understand the plan, didn’t see the outcome, and didn’t control the timing, but they kept filling the jars anyway. Their obedience shows us that complete obedience requires patience and trust, that partial obedience leaves the jar unfinished, and that God often works while nothing seems to be changing. When we play the long game with obedience, we position ourselves to see God move. You bring the water. Jesus makes the wine.

Those were Jesus’ words—simple, unpolished, and quietly powerful. Not an argument. Not a lecture. Just an invitation.

In this message, we walk through the opening scenes of John’s Gospel and watch how faith actually begins for real people—believers, seekers, and skeptics alike. John the Baptist points. Curious people follow. Questions get asked. Lives start to change. And nobody has it all figured out yet.

This sermon is for the person who’s curious but cautious. The one who believes but feels stuck. The skeptic who’s tired of debates and wants something real. It’s about proximity before certainty, curiosity before clarity, and why you don’t have to have all the answers to take your next step toward Jesus.

You can’t argue someone into faith—but you can invite them to come and see.

If you’ve got a “one” in your life… this message is for you.

Pastor Josue encourages us to look to the Lamb during the holiday season.
