What happens when “my truth” collides with the truth?

In Part 2 of the series “What is Truth?”, Pastor Dan unpacks Jesus’ words in John 13:36–14:11 and challenges one of the most common ideas in today’s culture: the belief that our personal truth is enough. While our experiences matter and should be heard, our own perspective is not the final standard of reality. True truth is not found in our feelings, opinions, or self-perception—it is found in Jesus Christ.

Using Peter’s confidence, Thomas’s confusion, and Jesus’ powerful declaration, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” this message reminds us that our own understanding must be surrendered to the One who is truth itself.

Pastor Dan explores how:

• Our personal truth can be distorted by pride, fear, insecurity, and culture

• Jesus sees through our self-confidence and calls us to humility

• God’s promises anchor us in difficulty, anxiety, and uncertainty

• Jesus is not just a source of truth—He is the Truth

• Real life, hope, and eternal security are found only in Him

This message is a needed reminder for anyone wrestling with confusion, fear, identity, pressure, or the temptation to define truth on their own terms.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your circumstances or unsure what to believe, this sermon points you back to the One who never changes.

In a world where truth often feels subjective and increasingly difficult to recognize, how can we know what is real?

In Part 1 of the new series “What is Truth?”, Pastor Dan explores the powerful encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4. In this story, Jesus reveals that truth is not merely an idea or philosophy—it is found in a person. Through this conversation, we see how Jesus brings hidden things into the light, restores broken identity, and reveals the transforming love of the Father.

This message reminds us that truth does more than inform our minds. True truth—found in Jesus—changes our hearts, exposes what is hidden, and redefines who we are as children of God.

If you have ever wrestled with questions about identity, shame, or what it means to truly know God, this message will encourage you to encounter the One who is the source of all truth.

Key Scriptures

John 4:16–30

Truths from this message

• The truth is found in Jesus.

• Truth does not just educate the mind—it redefines our identity.

Join us as we begin this journey toward Easter exploring one of life’s most important questions: What is truth?

Golden Calf Reckoning – Part 3: My Kingdom

Pastor Dan Harrison | Main Text: 2 Kings 10:28–36

In the final message of the Golden Calf Reckoning sermon series, Pastor Dan Harrison brings us to 2 Kings 10:28–36 and asks a piercing question: Who is truly on the throne of your heart—God, or you?

Pastor Dan unpacks the story of Jehu, a king anointed by God and used to bring judgment against Baal worship and the house of Ahab. Jehu started strong—he did what God asked and experienced victory. But the tragedy of his story is this: he wiped out Baal, yet he refused to turn from the golden calves of Jeroboam. Scripture says Jehu “was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord with all his heart.” In other words, he removed one false god while protecting the idols that served his own “kingdom.”

This message exposes how modern idolatry often hides behind spiritual language and religious activity. Pastor Dan highlights several ways golden-calf tendencies still show up today:

• The pursuit of power and the temptation to misuse authority

• The priority of pleasure—chasing temporary fixes instead of lasting joy in Jesus

• Appropriating the Almighty—putting Jesus’ name on what we simply want to do

At the heart of it all is a simple reality: it’s possible to be used by God and still keep areas of your life under your own rule. That’s why this sermon is titled “My Kingdom.” It’s a call to surrender—removing ourselves from the throne and letting Christ be King in every part of our lives.

Pastor Dan closes with a powerful prayer and declaration:

“Christ be magnified… from the altar of my life.”

Because the kind of church that truly changes the world isn’t built on personalities, programs, or power—it’s built on people who choose to magnify Jesus.

As you listen, don’t just evaluate Jehu—ask God to evaluate you. Invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any place where your desires, your appetite, your need for control, or your need to be right has taken the throne.

Takeaway Challenge:

This week, pray daily: “Jesus, show me where I’m still building ‘my kingdom.’ Take me off the throne. Be King in me.”Then choose one specific habit, attitude, or appetite to surrender—replacing it with obedience and worship.
