About the Sermon

Revival begins with the Word of God. In Ezekiel’s call to eat the scroll, we see a vivid picture of how we’re meant to internalize God’s truth, letting it shape every part of our lives. Just as Ezekiel consumed God’s message before sharing it, revival starts in us before it flows outward. This week, we commit to being transformed by His Word and launching a journey to immerse ourselves in Scripture over the next year.

Making Space

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

Keep Filling the Jar

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.
