“Zeal for God’s House: When Jesus Flipped the Tables” | John 2:13–17

Imagine walking into church and finding a flea market instead of worship. That’s exactly what Jesus encountered at Passover—and He didn’t stay silent. He made a whip, flipped tables, and drove corruption out of God’s house.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why Jesus’ anger was about more than money—it was about nations being blocked from God

• How zeal isn’t hype or emotion, but a burning passion aligned with God’s heart

• The difference between real worship and fake spirituality that only looks alive

• What “tables” in our churches and lives today might need flipping

Zeal matters because it’s not just what we do or why we do it—it’s how we do it. Without zeal, prayer becomes ritual, preaching becomes performance, and worship becomes noise without power.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to truly burn with passion for God in a distracted, surface-level culture, this message will help you reclaim the fire.

“When the Wine Runs Out: God’s Purpose in Your Emptiness” | John 2:1–12

In John 2, Jesus’ first recorded miracle takes place at a wedding—but the crisis wasn’t just that they ran out of wine. It was a prophetic sign of what happens when human joy, strength, and resources run dry.

In this teaching, we unpack:

• Why God sometimes lets your “wine” run out before He moves

• How old religious containers can’t produce true life

• Why Jesus fills before He transforms

• The truth that miracles often happen in motion, not in waiting

• How to surrender control and trust God’s perfect timing

If you feel like you’ve reached the end of yourself, this message will help you see your emptiness not as a failure, but as an invitation for God to fill you with something far better than what you lost.

The miracle at Cana isn’t just about wine—it’s about the Savior who turns lack into abundance and shame into joy. The best truly comes after the old runs dry.

Have you ever had that moment when you just knew—that’s the one? Whether it’s the right person, the right path, or the right purpose, something deep inside confirms it.

In this episode of The Gospels, we unpack John 1:35–51, where four powerful movements reveal how Jesus isn’t just another teacher or prophet—He’s the One the world’s been waiting for.

We’ll explore:

• How John the Baptist declares Jesus as the Lamb of God
• What it means to truly encounter Jesus
• How relational evangelism changed everything
• Why Jesus is the ladder between heaven and earth

This message is raw, real, and relevant—especially if you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith without sounding religious, pushy, or rehearsed. This isn’t a formula. It’s a framework—built on real questions, authentic relationships, and the unmatched power of Jesus to meet people right where they are.

Big Takeaway: If Jesus truly is the One—then He’s too good to keep to yourself.

Watch or listen now—and discover how to live, love, and lead like Jesus is the One.

Invite someone this week.

Pray for an open door.

Live like He’s the One.

Temptation vs Testing: What’s Really Happening in Your Wilderness?

There’s a divine difference between temptation and testing—one is meant to destroy you, the other to develop you. In this message, we walk through Luke 4 and Mark 1 to uncover the power, purpose, and process behind Jesus’ wilderness experience.

Before He preached a single sermon, Jesus was driven by the Spirit into the wilderness. Why? Because spiritual authority is formed in private before it’s released in public.

In this teaching, you’ll learn:

• Why the Spirit sometimes leads you into hard places.

• How to tell the difference between a temptation from the enemy and a test from God.

• The 3 strategies Satan uses—and how Jesus resisted every one.

• The key to walking out of your own wilderness with power.

We’ll also break down the original Greek, highlight key scriptures like Deuteronomy 8 and Luke 4, and give you practical steps to follow the way of Jesus in your own life.

🎯 Whether you’re in a spiritual battle or preparing for one, this message will help you discern, fight wisely, and grow in obedience.

Final reminder: You don’t win in public unless you’ve first been faithful in private.

Before Jesus ever preached a sermon, worked a miracle, or cast out a demon—He stepped into the water.

Not for sin.

Not for show.

But to fulfill all righteousness.

This episode takes you deep into the baptism of Jesus and the bold testimony of John the Baptist. Why did the sinless Son of God submit to a baptism of repentance? What does it mean to “Behold the Lamb of God”? And why does your obedience precede your influence?

In this episode:

• Why Jesus’ baptism was a prophetic act of repentance-identification

• The 4 things Jesus did before He preached: Baptized. Affirmed. Filled. Tested.

• What it means to live from the Father’s affirmation, not for it

• How baptism declares: “I belong to Jesus now—and my past is buried.”

• Why you can’t just admire Jesus… you must imitate Him

BEHOLD. The Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

FOLLOW. His rhythm of surrender, not your own ambition.

REPENT. Because your new beginning starts in the water.

AXIOMS FROM THIS EPISODE:

• “Before Jesus picked up a mic, He picked up submission.”

• “Repentance is not rejection—it’s your reintroduction to God’s rhythm.”

• “The baptism of Jesus was not about His need to repent—it was about His resolve to obey.”

• “Beholding the Lamb begins when you bury your pride.”

One word lit the desert on fire — REPENT.

Before Jesus stepped into the public eye, God sent a wild, raw, untamed man to prepare the way: John the Baptist.

He wasn’t soft. He wasn’t safe. He didn’t suggest.

He commanded: REPENT — for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

This episode is an unapologetic deep-dive into the forgotten power of repentance:

• 💥 What repentance actually means (hint: not guilt, but reversal).
• 🧪 Why “fruit” is the test, not the goal.
• 🧨 How repentance dismantles pride, excuses, and religious image.
• 🔥 Why we don’t just need the Holy Spirit—we need the fire too.
• 💡 What to do when you don’t feel like repenting.

Repentance isn’t about shame. It’s about surrender.

It’s not just a confession. It’s a collision—between your sin and God’s mercy.

🛑 Stop scrolling. Start turning.

🗣 AXIOMS FROM THIS EPISODE:

• “Repentance is the root; fruit is the proof.”
• “The fire of repentance doesn’t start in your feelings—it starts at your feet.”
• “The Holy Spirit isn’t a vibe; He’s a fire.”
• “God doesn’t care about your label—He’s after your loyalty.”

✝️ If you’re tired of being numb, if you’re done faking peace, this is your word: REPENT.

Don’t delay. Don’t deflect. Don’t harden.

God is not mad at you. He’s making room in you.

What was Jesus doing for the first 30 years of His life? Why does Scripture highlight His growth instead of skipping straight to the miracles? In this message, we unpack Luke 2:40 and 2:52—two powerful verses that summarize the formation of Jesus in His youth.

Jesus, though fully God, submitted Himself to the ordinary, slow, and sacred process of human development. He grew—in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and people. Not because He lacked anything in divinity, but because He chose to model humanity at its fullest.

Through deep biblical insight, original Greek word studies, and practical wisdom, this sermon answers:

• Why did Jesus have to grow if He was sinless?

• What does it mean to be “strong in spirit” and “filled with wisdom”?

• How can we grow in favor with God and people today?

Whether you’re in a season of waiting, growing, or obscurity—Luke 2 reminds us: formation is not wasted time. It’s the way of Christ.

Key Takeaways:

• Formation is God’s method for greatness.

• Favor is grown, not grabbed.

• You don’t have to be fully formed to be fully loved.

Next Steps:

1. Pursue wisdom daily

2. Strengthen your spiritual capacity

3. Live by grace, not performance
