King Jesus Over All

About the Sermon

This message will dive into Jesus as the Lion of Judah, the one true King who reigns over everything—yes, even politics. We’ll explore the problem of political idolatry and how easy it is to slip into worshipping political leaders or parties instead of Jesus. Our loyalty belongs to the Lion, not the elephant or the donkey.

The Cost of Love

Love always costs something.

We say things like “I’ve got you” or “I’m all in”—but what happens when the cost actually comes due?

In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan walks through the story of Peter in John 18–21—a man full of confidence who boldly declared he would die for Jesus… and then denied Him three times in a moment of pressure.

Sunday’s Coming

Some moments divide your life into before and after. That space where something has already happened—but the outcome hasn’t arrived yet. The place where you’re stuck between what was and what will be. Waiting. Wondering. Hoping Sunday actually comes. In John 20, Pastor Ryan walks through three real people—Mary, the disciples, and Thomas—each stuck in their own version of Saturday.

The Unanswered Prayer of God

What if one of Jesus’ prayers is still unanswered?

In John 17, we get a rare and powerful moment—Jesus praying to the Father just hours before the cross. And at the center of that prayer is a request that still challenges us today:

“That they may all be one.”
