John

Luke 3:1-6
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate
was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother
Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of
Abilene,  2  during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of
God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.  3  He went into all the
region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins,  4  as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet
Isaiah, ‘The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
    make his paths straight.
5  Every valley shall be filled,
    and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
and the crooked shall be made straight,
    and the rough ways made smooth;
6  and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”’

Life doesn’t happen all at once—it comes in phases, and each phase has a purpose. God has designed a time for everything: to grow, to learn, to love, and to give back. But when we rush or mix up those phases, we often end up hurting ourselves and others. In this Father’s Day message, we’ll explore what it means to live wisely, love deeply, and care for the next generation more than we care for ourselves. Come hear how Jesus calls us to grow up in faith, not just for our own sake—but for the future.

Have you ever looked back at a time in your life and suddenly understood it more clearly? A wise person once said,  “Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward.” This Sunday, we’ll look at how that idea connects to Jesus’ command to love others as He loves us. Jesus didn’t just talk about love—He showed it by loving even those who betrayed and hurt Him. Join us as we explore what it means to love with courage, even when it’s hard.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, and we’re diving into why the Church takes time to celebrate it. It’s more than flowers, cards, or saying thank you—it’s about the kind of love that gives, teaches, protects, and shows up. Jesus prayed for his followers the night before he died, and the way he prayed sounds a lot like the way a loving mother cares for her children. That kind of love isn’t just for moms—it’s what all of us are called to live out in our homes, our friendships, and our faith. Come hear how Jesus shows us the power of love that clings, cares, and never lets go.

This Sunday, we’re talking about a really big party. It’s a party that started a long time ago, when Jesus rose from the grave on Easter morning. At first, everyone thought the party was over when Jesus died, but God had a surprise bigger than anyone could imagine. The best part? Everyone’s invited, and the celebration still hasn’t ended. Come hear how one person telling another person keeps the party going — and how you can be part of it too!

Have you ever meant to do something kind, but never gotten around to it? In Sunday's message, we’ll hear about a time when my neighbor was moving, but I didn’t know why until it was too late. In the Bible, Mary showed her love for Jesus in a big way, and some people thought she wasted her time and money. But what if waiting too long is the real waste? Join us as we talk about love, generosity, and why some things just can’t wait.
