John 12:1-8 NIVSix days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.” 

Some things in our lives feel too far gone. For some, it’s a dream you’ve buried, a relationship you’ve given up on, or maybe it’s the heartbreaking loss of loved one. Navigating loss—and the grief that follows—is never easy. In this sermon, we look at how Jesus enters the pain of the people He loved, not from a distance, but weeping right alongside them—even as He knew the miracle to come. Whether you're waiting on God's timing, wrestling with loss, or unsure what happens when your own flesh fails, tune in and be assured—because of Jesus, death will never have the final word.You Will Never Die  | Victory ChurchPastor Johnson BowieScripture | John 11:1-45 NIVSeptember 6, 2026

John 11:38-44 (NKJV)38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

At first glance, faith and grief may seem like opposites. When life doesn’t go the way we plan, we can either be swallowed up by our emotions or refuse to feel them at all. But what if there was a third option? Whether we try to muscle through our disappointment or become completely overwhelmed by it, we serve a Savior who is well acquainted with grief at every stage. Living in this broken world means navigating the tension between what we feel and what we know to be true—but we never have to do it alone. In today’s message, learn what it means to run to Jesus even when the miracle doesn’t look like what we thought. When God Doesn’t Do What You Expect | Victory ChurchPastor Curvine BrewingtonScripture | John 11:1-6, 17-21 NLTAugust 23, 2026

One thing we can always rely on—we have a God who speaks! Notifications, updates, news, rumors, and voices claiming wisdom can capture our attention, but above all the noise, there is a Good Shepherd who wants to walk with us through this life. From the biggest decisions we have to make to our smallest insecurities, we can always rely on the voice of God to guide us. In this message, learn what it means to tune your ear to His trustworthy voice…and how listening to Him can change your life forever.How to Hear God’s Voice | Victory ChurchPastor Johnson BowieScripture | John 9:1-34 NIVAugust 16, 2026

We were all born into sin, blind to our need for a Savior. In this sermon, we unpack Jesus' encounter with a man who had been blind from birth. Just as that man received his sight, encountering Jesus and accepting His gift of salvation allows us to step out of darkness and into His light—a light that changes us forever! Tune in for encouragement to share the good news of what God has done in your life with a world still blinded by darkness.The Blind Will See | Victory ChurchPastor Dennis RouseScripture | John 9:1-34 NIVAugust 9, 2026

John 8:30-36 ESVSo Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.”

Colossians 1:15-20 NIVThe Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Each of us has fallen short. As humans, it's part of our natural, broken nature. Jesus knows better than anyone what our hearts are capable of. And when a group of religious leaders tried to corner Him to discredit His pure nature of holiness, He set the record straight—not by condemning the accused, but by extending grace. In this sermon, encounter the heart of Christ, who wants each of us to receive the mercy, forgiveness, and freedom He offers from sin and shame.

Transformation doesn’t just happen overnight—it’s the daily decisions that bear the fruit of true lifelong change. True change is what God wants for each of us, and—if we allow Him to work—He’s on mission to make sure that happens. Tune in to this sermon to find ways—both practical and profound—that we can engage with the Holy Spirit as He gives us the wisdom, courage, and faith we need to step into the new and good things He has for us. 

Have you ever wondered what it means to truly follow Jesus—not just believe in Him? This week we sit in a moment when the crowds walked away from Jesus, and even His closest friends questioned if they could stay. This isn't about perfect faith—it's about an imperfectly surrendered heart and a Savior worth staying for. Tune in to discover the difference between a believer and a true disciple.

JOHN 6:1-15 NIVSome time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival was near.When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and dis

Pain has a way of narrowing our perspective. When we've been hurt by relationships or the challenges of life, we can settle into survival mode, believing that simply getting by is enough. But God has more for you. This Father’s Day, we take a closer look at the heart of our Heavenly Father and His desire to bring healing, freedom, and wholeness. Lean in—the work He started in you is still unfolding.Pick Up Your Mat and Walk! | Victory ChurchPastor Johnson BowieScripture | John 5: 1-9 NIVJune 21, 2026

It's easy to trust God when the answers to our prayers come quickly. But what happens when we're waiting for Him to move—and nothing seems to be changing? Throughout John, we've seen Jesus perform powerful signs and wonders, from a miracle at a wedding to clearing the temple courts. Yet, one of His greatest miracles may be the one we don't immediately see. This week, we learn what it looks like to have faith in the midst of the waiting, and to trust Him through the tensions of everyday life. Living Between the Promise and the Proof | Victory ChurchPastor Andrew “Mo” MomonScripture | John 4:43-54June 14, 2026

We will remember the person who introduced us to Jesus for the rest of our lives. Their faith helps lead us into His presence, where our own is watered, nurtured, and strengthened until it becomes something we can truly call our own. It’s a beautiful process to behold. If we aren’t intentional though we can remain in a season that was only meant to be temporary. In this message, we explore the Father’s heart for our spiritual maturity and what it looks like to seek Him personally and develop a faith that is truly our own.

We can have a full schedule, a successful career, family and friends…and still feel like something is missing. Our society places a premium on productivity and achievement, but only one thing can truly satisfy the deepest longings of our souls. Lean in for this week’s message as we discover what it means to feast on the only food that can truly satisfy.

What if what we’ve come to know as worship—the songs, the lights, the emotions—was always meant to be more? When Jesus came on the scene, He revealed that true worship is a life shaped by intimate relationship with the Father—not just a location or a style of music. In this message, we explore what it means to worship in spirit and truth, and discover how worship has always been bigger than a single musical moment—it’s a way of life. Worshiping in Spirit & Truth | Victory Church Pastor Summer Bowie Scripture | John 4:19-26 May 24, 2026 

When you think about salvation, what comes to mind first? If your answer is heaven, you aren’t wrong…but there is so much more! Jesus made a way for us to spend eternity with Him—but He also came to bring abundant life here and now. In this message, be reminded that the Lord sees our emptiness and longs to fill it. If you’ve ever felt broken, weary, or hopeless, come to Jesus. He will never ask you to surrender something costly without offering something better in return. 

Where do you turn when you are empty? We have countless options—social media for affirmation, our jobs for security or stability, a relationship for physical connection... In a society that encourages us to “play the game” we end up losing a lot more than we gain. In this message, learn about how Jesus seeks us out in our pursuit of satisfaction with a deep and holy solution. Are you thirsty? Tired? Come to Jesus—He is a well that won’t run dry.
