Peter’s denial of Jesus in John 18 reveals the very human instinct of self-preservation when fear, power, and belonging are at stake. Rather than portraying Peter as a villain, the story illustrates how sincere followers of Jesus still fracture in moments of pressure, exposing the gap between bold intentions and formed character. Yet in Jesus’ Kingdom, fracturing is part of formation, because Jesus ultimately meets Peter again at another charcoal fire to restore him, showing that our failures can become the very places where Jesus brings redemption and renewed calling.

In this message, T.D. Davis (co-lead pastor) contrasts our anxious, triangle-shaped status systems with Jesus’ table-shaped Kingdom. In John 13, Jesus—fully secure in His authority—picks up a towel and washes His disciples’ feet, redefining greatness as receiving from God first and then serving others. The blessing, Jesus says, isn’t found in climbing the ladder of leadership but in practicing humble, mutual service—because in His Kingdom, everyone holds a towel.

Through the resurrection of Lazarus, we see not just a man restored to life, but the restoration of those who witnessed the miracle. In this message, Co-Lead Pastor, Kalli Davis explores how resurrection disrupts more than just death; it disrupts the very things that bring death and destruction to others.

: In John 9, a man born blind moves from uncertainty to courageous trust in Jesus, while powerful religious leaders drift deeper into a blindness that resists light. Jesus reframes the issue beyond simplistic labels like “sinners” and “righteous,” revealing that the real divide is between those open to seeing and those determined to defend their claim that they already do. As we launch our new series, "Come and Follow" into the season of Lent, this message invites us into humble dependence—asking Jesus to expose the places where we might be blind.

“On this Team Sunday, we pause to ask not what we’re building, but who we’re trusting. In John 5, Jesus meets a man who has spent decades near a promised solution yet still unhealed—revealing how easily we trust systems, spaces, or substitutes instead of His presence. Team Sunday is the moment we review how our stories might intersect with God’s story as we respond to Jesus’ healing work with lived trust—offering our time, talent, and treasure as we learn to walk in new life together.”

In this message from Media City’s "Come and See" series, we explore Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 to discover the art of "Disruptive Disciplemaking." By breaking cultural taboos and leading with humility rather than judgment, Jesus disrupted expectations to reveal the true character of God. We are challenged to move beyond religious stereotypes and live "questionable lives" that pique curiosity and model the radical grace of Christ. Learn how to transition from simply "sharing a soul-saving message" to living as a restored disciple who invites others to see the Kingdom of God in action.

We often want transformation to happen quickly and faith to come easily. However, as we see in the life of Nicodemus, faith is often a journey from unbelief to belief and from certainty to faith. In that journey, we learn that while we might not have all the answers, we can remain present in the exploration and present with Christ. In this message, Kalli Davis, Co-Lead Pastor, explores the slow, humble process of the salvation journey.

“When Jesus Disrupts What We Trust” invites us to explore the question, “Where does God dwell?” by examining how Jesus disrupts misplaced trust in religious systems in John 2, revealing that what once helped people access God had slowly replaced trust in God Himself. Through the cleansing of the temple, Jesus exposes the illusion of managed access and redefines God’s dwelling not as a controlled place or system, but as something embodied in Himself and discovered through relationship. Ultimately, Jesus welcomes honest exploration, patiently forming our understanding over time, and calls us from fascination and control into deeper trust, surrender, and relational depth with Him.

In John 2, Jesus turns water into wine at a wedding in Cana, revealing that when He is present, ordinary and broken situations can be transformed into something extraordinary. This first miracle shows Jesus’ perfect timing, invites us to bring our needs to Him in faith, and reminds us that He sees more in us than we see in ourselves. Come and see how an encounter with Jesus can change everything.
