The Gospel of John: Light in a Dark World: Why the Church Must Stop Adjusting to the Darkness

Pastor Johnathan examines John 12, where Jesus enters Jerusalem during His final week before crucifixion, coming as light into a morally dark world. The pastor emphasizes that today's church faces similar darkness, with pressure to accept sin in the name of inclusion. However, true Christian love means guiding people away from sin through Jesus's redemptive power. Using the image of fish jumping from dark waters, Pastor Johnathan explains that even in our darkest times, there are still souls needing salvation, and believers must choose to stand at the cross rather than follow the crowd. The church's calling isn't to "wake up" but to "stay awake," remaining alert to spiritual warfare while glorifying God even in suffering.
