This Advent season, we continue our series “From Darkness to Dawn” in John 1:6–13.As we slow down and remember the coming of Christ, we’re reminded that the Light has entered our darkness—revealing who God is, who we are, and our desperate need for new birth. In this message, Pastor John explores what happens when the True Light shines into the world:• The mission of those who follow Jesus• The truth about our Savior• The tragedy of rejecting the Light• The miracle of becoming children of GodJesus is the True Light—undeceiving, real, original, and superior.And to all who receive Him, He gives the right to become children of God.Join us as we behold the Light who came … and the Light who will come again.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
As we begin the Advent season, we slow down to remember the first coming of Jesus—and to prepare our hearts for His return. In this message from John 1:1–5, we look beyond the manger to see Jesus as He truly is: the eternal Word, the Creator of all things, and the Life-Giving Light who shines into our darkness.From the long wait of God’s people in the Old Testament to the ache we feel in our world today, Scripture reminds us that we are all waiting for the Light to break through. Jesus doesn’t ignore the darkness—He enters it. He doesn’t expose to shame—He shines to heal. And His light cannot be overcome.Join us as we launch our Advent series, “From Darkness to Dawn,” and discover the hope, life, and healing found in Jesus Christ.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In Matthew 17:14–20, Jesus meets a desperate father, a suffering child, and powerless disciples. Through a righteous rebuke and a miraculous deliverance, He exposes the limits of human effort and invites us into a deeper, dependent, mustard-seed kind of faith.In this message, Pastor John Lee walks us through a valley moment that reveals the heart of discipleship: faith that clings to Jesus when life feels overwhelming. Even when our faith feels small, Jesus is strong, patient, and fully able to meet us in our weakness.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

In this message, Pastor John takes us back to the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew 17 and connects it to the Great Commission in Matthew 28. On one mountain, the Father says, “Listen to Him.” On the other, the risen Christ commands, “Go and make disciples.”Between those two mountains lies the heartbeat of the Christian life — to listen to Jesus, follow Him, and help others do the same.Join us as we explore what it means to move from hearing His Word to obeying His call — from admiring His glory to joining His mission.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In a world filled with endless noise and distraction, God calls us to something deeper — to behold His glory and listen to His voice. In this message from Matthew 17:1–8, we look at the Transfiguration of Jesus and see the beauty, holiness, and compassion of the Son of God. The same voice that thundered from heaven still speaks today — inviting us to quiet our hearts, trust His Word, and see Jesus alone.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In this sermon from John 10, Chasen Behrends reminds us of the tender and powerful truth that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He knows His sheep by name, protects them from danger, and lays down His life so that they may have life in abundance. Whether you’re weary, searching, or simply in need of rest for your soul, this passage invites you to find peace and hope in the care of Christ.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
When life feels unbearable and God seems silent, where do we turn? In this message from Psalm 42–43, Pastor John invites us to pause—to be honest about our weariness, and to rediscover the hope that comes from trusting in God’s steadfast love. Through stories of deep faith and real struggle, we learn how to fight for joy, anchor our souls in God’s promises, and find peace even in the valley.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In this sermon from Pastor John, we explore how Jesus places two things before His disciples: a set of keys and a cross. He gives His Church real authority—but then calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Because life in the Kingdom isn’t about grasping for control, but surrendering to the King. We naturally reach for the keys... but hesitate at the cross. Yet Jesus shows us that true life is found not in saving ourselves, but in laying everything down for His sake.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
As we celebrate five years of God's faithfulness at Mission Church, we return to a foundational moment in the Gospel of Matthew—Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. In this powerful sermon from "The King and His Kingdom" series, we reflect on what kind of church we’re becoming, what we’re building on, and why Jesus alone must remain our foundation. Pastor John reminds us that Jesus is building His Church, and not even the gates of hell will prevail against it. Whether you’re new to faith or growing deeper, this message is a timely call to root our lives and churches on the only unshakable foundation—Christ Himself.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In Matthew 16:1–12, Jesus warns His disciples to beware of spiritual blinders, to remember His faithfulness, and to guard against false teaching. Elder Candidate, Chasen, walks us through three cautions from the King that help us stay faithful and rest in Christ’s grace.Mission Church at www.missionlasvegas.com.
In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus offers one of the most tender invitations in all of Scripture: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” In this message, Pastor John explores the heart of Christ — gentle and lowly — and the true, soul-deep rest He promises to all who trust Him. If you’re feeling weighed down by guilt, striving, or the pressures of life, hear afresh the voice of Jesus calling you to lay down your burdens and find rest in Him.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4, we are reminded that while life and ministry can be lonely, difficult, and full of opposition, we are never truly alone. Just as the Lord stood with Paul and strengthened him in his final days, He promises to stand with us and lead us safely into His heavenly kingdom. Join us as we close our Entrusted series and discover what it means to finish strong—not in a culture of pretense, but in a culture of grace.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
As Paul nears the end of his life, he writes with urgency and clarity—charging Timothy (and us) to fulfill the ministry entrusted to us. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Pastor John walks us through what it means to die a worthy death, live a worthy life, and await a worthy crown. Whether you're running, limping, or crawling, keep going. The race is not over—finish strong.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In a world that increasingly trades truth for comfort, we are reminded of the weight, the work, the war, and the way of faithful gospel ministry. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4:1–5, Pastor John leads us in considering what it means to proclaim and endure sound doctrine in a time of itching ears. This message is a call for pastors to preach with conviction, and for the Church to listen with submission—anchored in the sufficiency of God's Word.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In a world filled with deceptive currents, it’s easy to drift spiritually without even realizing it. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 3:13–17, Pastor John unpacks how we can anchor ourselves in Christ and hold fast to God’s Word so we don’t get swept away. Discover the importance of discernment, continuing in the gospel you’ve received, and trusting Scripture to equip you for every good work.Mission Church - www.missionlasvegas.com
In this message from our Entrusted series, Pastor John walks us through 2 Timothy 3:10–13, where Paul lays out a clear and reproducible pattern for true discipleship. Far from being a passive consumer of truth, a disciple is someone who walks closely, imitates faithfully, and multiplies intentionally.We explore three cords of this discipleship pattern:A Visible Pattern to Imitate – Teaching, Conduct, and PurposeA Spirit-Formed Character – Faith, Patience, and LoveA Willingness to Embrace the Cost – Endurance in the face of suffering and persecutionThrough Scripture, we are challenged to move from proximity to participation, from being hearers of the Word to doers, and from merely attending church to actively making disciples.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
Fake Faith Exposed: How to Spot Spiritual CounterfeitsIn 2 Timothy 3:1–13, Paul warns about a dangerous reality in the last days—spiritual counterfeits that look godly but have no real power. Pastor John Lee explains how to recognize a counterfeit life, counterfeit religion, and counterfeit message, and points us to the only One who can transform us from the inside out: Jesus Christ.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
In today's message, Pastor John unpacks 2 Timothy 2:23–26, where Paul gives a powerful final image of a disciple-maker: the Lord’s servant. From a Roman prison, Paul calls Timothy—and us—not just to proclaim the right message, but to become the kind of person God can use.We’ll explore four key marks of the servant God uses: surrendered to Jesus, slow to argue, gentle in posture, and fully dependent on God to change hearts. This is a call to trade quarrels for compassion and win souls, not just arguments.——📍 Learn more or plan your visit: www.missionlasvegas.com📲 Follow us for more weekly encouragement and teaching.
