February 18 – Ash Wednesday

Thomas the Seeker (John 14:5–7)
Thomas gives voice to the honest questions many of us carry: How do we know the way? On Ash Wednesday, we begin Lent by acknowledging our uncertainty and longing, hearing Jesus’ promise that he himself is the way, the truth, and the life. This message invites us to bring our doubts into God’s presence, trusting that seeking faith is not a weakness but a step toward deeper relationship.

February 22

Judas the Betrayer (John 13:2, 18–30; John 18:2)
Judas stands as one of the most troubling figures at the table with Jesus—close enough to share bread, yet willing to betray. This week explores the complexity of Judas’ choices, the darkness that unfolds, and the heartbreak of betrayal. We are challenged to examine where temptation, secrecy, or self-interest may quietly pull us away from Christ, even when we appear outwardly devoted.

March 1

Peter the Failure (John 13:36–38; Luke 22:54–62)
Bold, passionate Peter promises loyalty but collapses under fear. His denial reminds us how fragile our courage can be. Yet in Jesus’ knowing gaze, Peter encounters truth—not condemnation. This week invites us to reflect on failure, repentance, and the grace that meets us even in our worst moments, assuring us that failure is not the end of the story.

March 8

Caiaphas the Accuser (Mark 14:55–65)
As high priest, Caiaphas represents religious power turned defensive and fearful. In his accusations, truth is silenced and justice distorted. This sermon examines how fear of losing control can harden hearts and blind us to God’s work. Jesus’ calm confession—“I am”—stands in stark contrast, revealing a kingdom not built on force, but on truth.

March 15

Pilate the Judge (John 18:29–40; John 19:1–16)
Pilate knows Jesus is innocent, yet bows to pressure and political fear. His haunting question—“What is truth?”—lingers as he hands Jesus over. This week confronts the danger of indecision and moral compromise, challenging us to consider how often we choose safety or approval over truth, and what it costs to avoid taking a stand.

March 22

John the Faithful (John 19:25–27)
While others flee, John remains at the foot of the cross. In quiet faithfulness, he witnesses Jesus’ final act of love—entrusting his mother into John’s care. This sermon highlights the power of presence, reminding us that sometimes faithfulness simply means staying, loving, and bearing witness when everything feels lost.

March 29

The Thief the Guilty (Luke 23:39–43)
Hanging beside Jesus, one criminal mocks, while the other confesses his guilt and places his hope in Christ. In a moment of raw honesty, grace is given freely. This week proclaims the astonishing mercy of God—that even at the very end, redemption is offered, and no life is beyond the reach of Jesus’ saving love.

April 3 – Good Friday

Jesus the Servant (Luke 23:44–46)
On Good Friday, the focus turns fully to Jesus. In darkness and suffering, he entrusts himself to the Father, fulfilling his mission of sacrificial love. The torn curtain signals access to God made possible through Christ’s death. We gather in reverence, remembering that the cross is not defeat, but the ultimate act of service and surrender.

April 5 – Easter Sunday

Mary Magdalene the Forsaken (John 20:10–18)
Grief-stricken and alone, Mary lingers at the tomb—and becomes the first witness to the resurrection. When Jesus calls her by name, sorrow turns to joy and purpose. Easter celebrates the risen Christ who meets us in our deepest grief and sends us out with hope, declaring, “I have seen the Lord!”
