John 12:20–36
The Path of Paradox

Are you tired of feeling spiritually "stuck" or isolated? We often spend our lives trying to protect our interests, our comfort, and our reputation, only to find that the more we "save" our lives, the emptier they become. In this message, we explore the "Path of Paradox" found in John 12. Jesus reveals a profound spiritual law using the illustration of a single grain of wheat: a seed that refuses to fall into the ground remains safe in the granary, but it remains alone. Only the seed willing to be buried can produce a harvest. Join us as we move beyond casual curiosity about Jesus and discover the urgent necessity of surrendering our "now" for God’s "eternal." *In this sermon, you will discover:*

  • The difference between "seeing" Jesus as a spectator and connecting with Him as a follower.
  • Why the "Logic of the Seed" is the only way to move from isolation to fruitfulness.
  • How to resolve the "troubled soul" when the cost of discipleship feels too high.
  • The urgency of walking in the Light while the window of opportunity is still open.
