Noah Herrin preaches from John 19-20 on Easter, arguing that the cross is the greatest display of love the world has ever seen. He builds the case by showing that Jesus loved first, loved people who didn’t deserve it, and willingly took the punishment for sin so humanity could be made right with God. Herrin emphasizes that the resurrection proves Jesus’ victory and that "it is finished" is actually the beginning of new life. He uses personal illustrations (his courtship story in Hawaii, a football loss) to make the message relatable and finishes with a clear invitation to receive the gift of salvation.

Take it with you
The cross demonstrates God’s love: Jesus loved first, loved the undeserving, and absorbed the penalty for sin so we could be reconciled to God. Salvation is a gift to be accepted, not earned by performance - if you want to receive it, the next step is to confess faith and follow Jesus. The resurrection secures that this gift is victorious and life-giving here and now, not just after death.

How to Overcome Anxious Thoughts | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Hebrews 13:7-9 to show that anxious, negative thoughts can be changed by reorienting our thinking toward the consistent, gracious character of God. He argues that Christians often fill unknowns with worst-case scenarios, consume content that trains cynicism, and let inconsistent human leaders or past experiences dictate their view of God.
There Were Signs | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 2 that Jesus' birth included clear signs showing who he is, why he came, and who it's for. He argues the nativity is full of fulfilled prophecies that point to Jesus' divinity, uses the shepherds and wise men to show God's welcome to both the broken and the accomplished, and explains Jesus' mission as the sacrificial 'Lamb' who would die for sins.
The Love of God - Luke LeFevre
Luke LeFevre preaches on the overwhelming, incomprehensible love of God, praying Ephesians' prayer that believers would grasp the width, length, height and depth of Christ's love. He grounds that love in the gospel (Romans 5), emphasizing that Christ died for us while we were powerless, ungodly and even God's enemies, demonstrating love that precedes our repentance.
