Why We Keep Going: The Source of Endurance in Making Disciples | 2 Timothy: Entrusted | 2 Timothy 2:8-13 | Pastor J. M. Lee

What keeps you from giving up when following Jesus gets hard? In this week’s sermon from 2 Timothy 2:8–13, we are challenged to endure in our calling to make disciples—even when it's costly. Through Paul’s words to Timothy, we’re reminded that our strength to keep going doesn’t come from within, but from remembering Jesus Christ—risen from the dead, reigning as King, and faithful even when we are faithless. Whether you're weary, discouraged, or just trying to stay faithful in the everyday grind,...

Disciples Who Make Disciples | Entrusted: 2 Timothy | 2 Timothy 2:1-7 | Pastor J. M. Lee

In this powerful and challenging message, Pastor John unpacks the Apostle Paul’s words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:1–7, reminding us that the call to follow Jesus is far more than a call to believe — it’s a call to be transformed and to multiply . Too often, the modern church settles for attendance without transformation and service without surrender. But Jesus didn’t say, “Believe in Me and carry on with your life.” He said, “Follow Me.” And to follow Him means to walk in obedience, to be shaped ...

What does it look like to follow Jesus with boldness in a world that pressures you to stay silent? In this message, Pastor John calls us to a deeper kind of faith—one that endures hardship, speaks truth with love, and refuses to settle for a safe Christianity. If you’ve ever felt afraid, tired, or tempted to pull back, this sermon will remind you of the power, hope, and calling you’ve been given.

From Flicker to Flame | 2 Timothy: Entrusted | 2 Timothy 1:1-7 | Pastor J. M. Lee

In this week’s sermon from our series Entrusted, we dive into 2 Timothy 1:1–7, where the Apostle Paul writes to a weary and discouraged Timothy from a Roman prison. Paul's call? “Rekindle the gift of God that is in you.” It’s a deeply personal, pastoral reminder that speaks not just to Timothy, but to all of us who’ve felt the fire of faith flicker under the weight of fear, fatigue, or discouragement. This is a call for all believers—not just pastors or leaders. Whether you feel like your passio...

This week at Mission Church, Guest Speaker Chasen Behrends takes us through Galatians 4:1-7 as we look at the cure for spiritual amnesia.

The Heart of the Problem: When Religion Isn’t Enough | The Book of Matthew: The King and His Kingdom | Matthew 14:34-15:20 | Pastor J.M. Lee

This week at Mission Church, Pastor J.M. Lee continues our series in the book of Matthew with a powerful message from Matthew 14:34–15:20. In a world where outward religion often substitutes for real relationship with God, Jesus reminds us that what defiles a person is not what’s on the outside—but what comes from the heart. Are we settling for clean hands while ignoring an unclean heart? Are we trusting in routines, traditions, and performance rather than Jesus Himself? In this sermon, we see t...

When Peter begins to sink, Jesus doesn’t scold him — He saves him. Because it’s not the size of our faith that matters — it’s the strength of our Savior. Take heart: I AM is with you.

Christ the Curse Bearer: The Scandal and Substitution of the Cross | Holy Week: Good Friday | Galatians 3:10-14 | Pastor J. M. Lee

On Good Friday, we remember the scandalous and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ—our substitute and curse-bearer. In this message from Galatians 3:10–14, Pastor J.M. Lee answers the crucial question: What did Jesus do on the cross? More than an inspiring symbol or example, the cross reveals the depths of our need and the heights of Christ’s saving work.

Palm Sunday: The Humble Confrontation of Christ our King | Holy Week 2025 | Matthew 21:1-11 | Pastor J. M. Lee

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem not as a warrior, but as a gentle King—riding on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy, and confronting the world with His claim to the throne. In this message from Matthew 21:1–11, Pastor John Lee challenges us to consider what kind of King Jesus truly is and how we will respond. Will we crown Him or crucify Him?

A Conflicted Sinner and the Courageous Prophet | The Book of Matthew: The King and His Kingdom | Matthew 14:1-13a | Pastor J. M. Lee

This sermon from Mission Church explores the tension between human weakness and divine calling, as seen in the encounter between Herod and John the Baptist.
