About the Sermon

In a world full of fear and uncertainty, God’s message is clear: “Do not fear.” Hope in Jesus allows us to replace fear with trust and experience the peace that surpasses understanding. This week, we’ll explore how God guides us from fear to peace through His promises.

God Moved In

In this message from the Come and See series, Pastor Ryan walks through John 1:10–14 and reminds us of a powerful truth: God didn’t stay distant—He moved in. Jesus stepped into our world, understands our pain, and stays faithful even when life feels heavy.

Before the Beginning Began

In this message, Pastor Ryan opens the Gospel of John and shows us Christmas from God’s perspective—not starting in Bethlehem, but before time itself began. John pulls back the curtain and reveals Jesus as the eternal Word: the One who existed before everything, speaks life into us, brings light into our darkness, and cannot be overcome.

The Gratitude Gap

In this one-off message, Pastor Ryan walks through Luke 17 and the story of the ten lepers—a story that exposes how easy it is to receive God’s blessing without responding to the One who gave it. It’s a message about slowing down, remembering, and learning to see God’s goodness in the middle of real-life chaos.
