Sunday Morning | December 29, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

As we stand on the cusp of a new year, Pastor John challenges us to center our hopes not merely on financial breakthroughs or personal goals, but on an ever-deepening intimacy with Christ. Imagine if our greatest longing was to grow as fully devoted followers of Jesus, flourishing in spiritual, personal, and emotional dimensions of life. This growth requires daily surrender—denying ourselves, taking up our crosses, and aligning every facet of life with His purpose. It means embracing abundant life, marked not by ease but by profound connection with Christ, even in challenging seasons. From this flourishing relationship with Christ comes a passion for serving others and proclaiming His name. As we grow in Christ, we should also become life-givers—loving, approachable, and transformed individuals who impact our families, workplaces, and communities. This vision for our church is not about perfection but about persistent growth in knowing Christ, loving others, and living in the overflow of His grace. Let us step into this new year with hearts eager to see God’s transformative work in us and through us.

Sunday Morning | December 22, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In his December 22, 2025, sermon, "When Your Way Isn't Working," Pastor John draws from Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1 to explore how Emmanuel—God with us—offers hope when our own ways fail. Reflecting on Joseph’s unexpected dilemma upon learning of Mary’s pregnancy, Pastor John highlights the humility of Christ’s birth and contrasts it with how human solutions often emphasize control and power. He challenges listeners to look for God actively, shift focus from problems to God's greatness, and step forward in faith, even when circumstances seem insurmountable. Pastor John emphasizes that the key to finding a new way is embracing the truth that God is with us, a promise demonstrated throughout Scripture. He encourages those who don’t yet know Christ to begin a relationship with Emmanuel, urging them to make today a turning point for themselves and their families, embracing a life defined by trust and the presence of God.

Sunday Morning | December 8, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In this sermon from Pastor John's series 1 Peter: Finding Joy in Suffering, based on 1 Peter 3:18-22, believers are reminded of three reasons they are not alone in their suffering. First, Christ Himself suffered, as highlighted in 1 Timothy 3:16, enduring the ultimate pain to bring humanity to God. Second, Noah's story in Genesis 6:5 serves as an example of enduring faith in the midst of widespread wickedness and hardship. Finally, the message emphasizes that God is faithful to rescue those who trust Him, as seen in Hebrews 11:6-7 and James 1:21, offering hope and salvation to those who endure with steadfast faith. Together, these truths underscore the presence and faithfulness of God in the midst of suffering.

Sunday Morning | December 1, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In his sermon "When the Right Thing Goes Wrong," part of the series 1 Peter: Finding Joy in Suffering, Pastor John examines 1 Peter 3:13-17 to explore how Christians can navigate difficulties even when doing what is right. He begins with an assumption that suffering may follow righteousness, challenging believers to embrace it without fear. Next, he presents a two-part strategy: first, fearing the right things by placing reverence in God above human opposition, drawing from Isaiah 8:12, and second, being prepared to defend one’s faith with gentleness and respect. Finally, Pastor John highlights the motivation to endure, citing Romans 12:20 to remind us of the redemptive power of responding to adversity with goodness, which glorifies God and points others to Him.

He emphasized the importance of embodying virtues such as unity, sympathy, brotherly love, tenderness, and humility to reflect Christlike character in all relationships.
