Making Space

About the Sermon

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

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.”
