This week we are blessed by a teaching by Pastor Mark as he continues our sermon series through the book of John. Today's passage revisits the ongoing upper room discourse, with a main theme of the glory of God. Listen in as we learn what Jesus says about His Glory and how we can live our lives to experience more of God’s glory.

This talk continues our sermon series through the book of John, as we unpack more of Jesus’s words to His disciples during the Passover meal. Joy is a key theme in this talk, and Pastor Ulysses expands on the two reasons Jesus gives for believers to be extremely joyful. We are encouraged today to seek this Joy that depends on much more than what the world can offer.

The sermon series through the book of John continues, this time with a focus on the least well understood person of the trinity—the Holy Spirit. Pastor Mark helps us to understand the specific work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of people from the Bible, as well as the Holy Spirit’s influence on us today regarding sin, righteousness, and judgement.

In this sermon, Pastor Ulysses preaches about the expectations that followers of Jesus should have. Many falsely believe that Jesus promises us prosperity in this life. The truth, however, is much the opposite. We should not expect to live in full harmony with this world, but rather should anticipate persecution from standing firm in our core beliefs that often are at odds with the world.

In a world of fleeting pleasures, we constantly grapple with maintaining joy in our lives. This Sunday, Pastor Mark unveils how by anchoring our lives in Christ, we find enduring and everlasting joy which transcends the temporary allure of our superficial pleasures.

Continuing to the next chapter of John, we delve into the poignant metaphor of the vine and branches. What does it mean to bear fruit as a disciple, and why does God still prune those who yield fruit? How do we genuinely abide in Jesus? Pastor Ulysses answers these questions and more as we learn what it means to maintain our life as one of the branches to God's vine.

This week, we continue our series through the book of John. In today's passage, we read of Jesus' offer of peace to his disciples; We may think we already have peace independent of Christ, but what happens when the circumstances affecting our peace begin to change? In this talk, pastor Ulysses helps to highlight the ways the peace of this world falls short, and uses the passage to remind us of why and how we can seek the peace that Christ offers.

What does it mean to love God? And how can we know that we love Him? Unlike the common perception of love, as merely a feeling, the reality is love is more than just an emotion. In today’s passage, we hear Jesus clearly explain what Love for Him truly entails: Through this talk, which continues through the book of John, we are reminded of how Jesus demonstrated the true definition of love, and encouraged to recognize the true meaning and immense benefit of loving Christ.

This Sunday we continue our sermon series in John. Pastor Mark leads us into a discussion of Jesus' miracles and how through His sacrifice we are capable of even greater miracles than the ones Christ performed when he was on Earth. But we need to have faith, disregard our own feelings of inadequacy and trust in God's plan for these miracles to happen. We need to especially remember that miracles do not primarily happen to satiate man's needs but to glorify God.

For Easter Service, we are reminded of the mercy Christ offers us. Pastor Ulysses through this passage in John teaches us how through Jesus we are redeemed in the eyes of God and can have a relationship with Him. How emancipating it is that we have a guide in this world full of trouble that guides us with a steadfast hand and with what culminates in everlasting joy! All we have to do is to trust Jesus, trust in His strength to begin walking with Him.

On this Good Friday's service, Pastor Ulysses discusses two of Jesus' betrayers near the time of His crucifixion. Through Judas and Peter, we witness how our God is one that knows betrayal. That He has endured the darkest things some of us have will ever experience - the betrayal of those closest to us. Yet through Jesus, we see the awesome power of His love. That he still willing to die for those that have abandoned Him. When we invite Jesus to our hearts, we share this supernatural love.

In this message, we look at Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday from the perspective of the multitude of disciples. Even as the religious leaders oppose the ministry of Jesus, the disciples cannot contain their praise for all that God has done through Him. This serves as a timely reminder of how we can be powerful witnesses of Christ by allowing our praise to overflow to those who need to hear about the saving love of God.

As we approach the latter half of Jesus' ministry, we recount the humbling act of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. What does it mean for us to practice this same act in the world today? In this sermon, Pastor Ulysses preaches on how we can "wash the feet" of others, following Jesus' example of love and servanthood towards one another.

In this message, we continue our sermon series through the Book of John; this week we go over the second of four segments of the book. Today's passage summarizes Jesus' public ministry and tackles difficult topics we may have contended with at some point, such as on what it means for God to harden hearts. How do we respond to verses like these? In this talk, pastor Ulysses helps to expand on Jesus' words and encourages us to be Confident in God's Sovereignty, even as we seek Him.

In this week's talk, we continue the sermon series through the book of John, focusing today on the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. Are we willing to lay down our lives? And do we know what it means to do so? These are key questions raised in today's passage as we read of Jesus' charge to lay down our lives. As we reflect on the Words of Christ, we are reminded of the true reason why Jesus came, and encouraged to follow Christ, regardless of what it entails.

This week, we continue our series from the gospel of John. After Jesus resurrects her brother, Lazarus, we see Mary's extravagant display of love in response. From her actions, we come to understand the true nature and cost of worshipping Christ along with the humility it takes to live a life of devotion to Him. In the end, a life of worship demands that we joyfully surrender ourselves at the feet of Jesus.

The Sunday we continue our series on John. We learn how despite all of Jesus' miracles, the Pharisees decide to have him killed in order to protect their privileges. In a similar way, we Christians are sometimes tempted not to represent Jesus in our lives so we can secure our worldly privileges or reputations. Yet despite our sinful nature, God will always be there for us. He is always in control and if we go to Him, He can take our darkest moments and use them for our growth and salvation.

This week we continue on through John 11 where Pastor Ulysses explores a common question we often ask ourselves: How can we reconcile God's love for us when it feels like He allows trials and tribulations in our life?

What does it mean to live for the eternal and not get caught up in our lives her on Earth? We are often troubled by weakness and loss in this world however, Pastor Mark encourages us that despite these challenges, fixing our eyes on the resurrection gives us strength and we find ultimate fulfillment through glorifying God.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues his sermon series through the Book of John. As we witness more of Jesus' interaction with the religious leaders in today's passage, Pastor Ulysses helps to expand on the implications of this dialogue, echoing Jesus' call to respond to the many signs he has shown and hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.

This week we return to our sermon series through the book of John, as Pastor Ulysses speaks on John 10:1-21. In this passage we hear from Jesus as He describes Himself as the Good Shepherd; but what does it mean for us to recognize Him that way? Through this talk, Pastor Ulysses helps unpack this figure of speech and it’s implications. We are reminded today not to follow false shepherds, but to recognize and listen for the Good Shepherd that knows us by name.

This Sunday we continue our series with the Book of John. When bad things happen to us, do they happen because we deserve it? Through the parable of the healing of the blind man, Pastor Ulysses shows us that this is not necessarily the case. Sin and suffering exist in this world because of what our ancestor Adam did. However, that doesn't mean we should lose heart. We can glorify God through our suffering and become more than our pain.

As Christians, why is fasting important? In today's sermon, Pastor Ulysses teaches us that fasting is a type of earnest prayer to God. It is a way for us to call God to some area of our life that needs attention or repentance. It is also a demonstration of our humility to Him. Through the story of Naboth's Vineyard, we see this in action when a wicked King commits a terrible deed but is shown mercy when he fasts.

Today’s sermon begins with the question: how can we keep our way pure? That is a question we may ask ourselves as we approach the new year, and one addressed in today’s passage. Through this talk, Pastor Ulysses unpacks why the answer, and emphasis of the entire chapter of Psalm 119, is to guard our way with the Word. We are reminded today of the importance of the Bible and encouraged to keep the Word as our foundation.

What is Christmas really about? Is it about all the gifts we give and receive? Is it about the time off from work? Or is it about just a general spirit of generosity and joy? The Bible tells us that it is about the greatest gift of God to humanity - Jesus Christ. Are we misunderstanding the true meaning of Christmas and its greatest gift Jesus like the political and religious leaders of His time? Then maybe this Christmas message by Pastor Ulysses from Matthew 2:1-15 will change your world...
