How does a church full of love, faith, and service drift away from Jesus without noticing? In Revelation 2:18-29, Jesus praises the church in Thyatira for doing more than they did at first, then confronts them for tolerating a teacher who mixed faith with the idol worship of their trades. Compromise rarely arrives all at once. It creeps in unannounced, especially at work and school, and it grows in a crowded heart. This message gives three ways to fight it: cultivate what Jesus celebrates, repent of assimilation, and hold on to love and truth. Following Jesus is a daily endeavor, and he is patient, present, and ready to help us turn back to him.

Faith Milestone Celebration - Love That Won't Let Go - Week 1
What do you do when life does not go as planned, when grief settles in, or when God feels far away? In John 11:38–44, Jonathan Haage walks through the raising of Lazarus and shows how Jesus meets sorrow with both tenderness and authority. This sermon helps us see that God’s nearness is not wishful thinking for hard days but a reality rooted in who Jesus is: the Resurrection and the Life. As you listen, you will be encouraged to call out to Christ, trust him in disappointment, and join him in the work he is doing in the lives of others. This is a message of hope for anyone who feels weary, numb, or afraid.
