John 12:37-50 | Hard Hearts, Human Glory, and Jesus' Final Plea

John 12 brings us to the final public words of Jesus before He turns to the cross. After years of miraculous signs, fulfilled prophecies, and gracious teaching, the people still refused to believe. This passage confronts us with the sobering reality of unbelief, yet it also reveals the unshakable sovereignty of God in bringing His redemptive plan to pass. What seems like human rejection becomes the very means through which salvation is extended to the world.Here we see the contrast between the fragile glory of man and the eternal glory of Christ. We hear the voice of a Savior who does not remain silent or indifferent but cries out with urgency, offering light to those in darkness and life to those dead in sin. This sermon reminds us that God is sovereign, God is just, and yet God is merciful—pleading even now with sinners to come to Him while there is still time.Key Points: 1. The Folly of Unbelief 2. The Sovereignty of God 3. The Pursuit of Man's Praise 4. The Final PleaUnbelief hardens. Man’s glory fades. But God’s Word endures, His plan prevails, and His Son still calls: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” 📖 Scripture: John 12:37–50

John 12:21-37 | God's Patience, Judgement, and You

God is patient—slow to anger, rich in mercy, and abounding in steadfast love. Scripture repeatedly shows us His longsuffering heart, from the days of Noah to the ministry of Jesus. Yet the Bible is equally clear: God’s patience does not last forever.In this sermon, we walk through John 12 and see how Jesus’ death marked a decisive moment in human history. The cross reveals five powerful truths that confront every heart:1. Judgment – Christ’s coming forces us to choose between light and darkness.2. Satan – At the cross, Satan was defeated and cast down, his grip on death broken.3. Drawing – Jesus draws people from every nation and background with cords of love and kindness.4. Light – The Light of the world shines, but those who reject Him remain in darkness—now and forever.5. Presence – Opportunities to trust Christ will not last forever. One day every knee will bow, either in worship or in forced submission.This message reminds us that God is merciful and patient, but also just and holy. He calls us to repent, believe in Christ, and walk as children of light—before the door of grace closes.

John 12:27-30 | His Trouble, My Peace

In John 12, as Jesus approaches the cross, He declares, “My soul is troubled.” This powerful moment reveals the weight of what He was about to endure—not just the physical pain of crucifixion, but the deeper agony of bearing our sin, facing separation from the Father, and enduring the judgment we deserved.📖 Text: John 12:27–30In this sermon, we explore: 1. The source of Jesus’ trouble — why the thought of the cross brought such anguish. 2. The source of His resolve — how Jesus willingly submitted to the Father’s will for the glory of God. 3. The source of our comfort — how His troubled soul secures our peace, hope, and eternal life.The cross is not just an example of love, but the very place where Jesus took our place—bearing the wrath of God so we could be forgiven and made new. This is the heart of the gospel, and it is our greatest comfort when our own souls are troubled.

Rest, Rhythm, Sabbath, & Delight - Jonny Ardavanis

We live in a culture that glorifies constant hustle, distraction, and exhaustion. But God’s Word offers a better way—a sacred rhythm of work and rest designed not just for survival, but for deep, soul-level flourishing.In this sermon, we explore the biblical foundation for Sabbath and the kind of rest God invites us into—not just physical rest, but emotional, spiritual, and relational renewal.

It’s about recovering what’s been lost in our modern pace of life: margin, wonder, delight, and worship. It’s about remembering who we are—and more importantly—who God is.Whether you’re feeling burned out, distracted, or just tired of running on empty, this message offers a deeply encouraging and convicting reminder: God has created us not only to work with purpose but to rest with intention.Watch now to rediscover the life-giving power of Sabbath and the joy of resting in the One who holds all things together.📖: Genesis 2, Exodus 20, Mark 2:27, Ecclesiastes 9, Psalm 103, Hebrews 4, and Luke 5.

The Dangerous Consequences of Laziness - Jonny Ardavanis

Laziness is more than just a lack of productivity—it’s a spiritual danger that distorts the image of the God who created us to work, serve, and worship through our lives. In this message, we turn to the book of Proverbs to examine the serious consequences of slothfulness and what Scripture says about living a life of diligence and purpose. This sermon unpacks five marks of a lazy person: 1. The lazy person makes excuses 2. The lazy person loves ease 3. The lazy person doesn’t finish what they started 4. The lazy person is self-deceived 5. The lazy person needs to be prodded Through wisdom from Proverbs and a biblical theology of work, we’re reminded that our calling is not to comfort and complacency but to usefulness for God’s glory and the good of our neighbor. If you’ve been coasting spiritually, mentally, or physically—this is your call to wake up. Laziness isn’t neutral. But by God’s grace, we can live lives marked by intentionality, discipline, and devotion.
