Through the healing at the Pool of Bethesda, we’re reminded that no matter how long we’ve struggled, Jesus can transform our lives when we stop making excuses, trust the Holy Spirit, and step forward in faith.God is ready to do something new. But the question is, are you ready to get up, leave behind what He has freed you from, and walk into a new way of life?

Doubt is not the absence of faith—it can be part of the journey of learning to trust Jesus.Through the story of Thomas in John 20, we discover that when our faith feels weak, God meets us through community, His presence, and the power of the cross. Rather than isolating or waiting until every question is answered, we can borrow the faith of others and choose to believe even when we cannot yet see what God is doing.Faith is more than a feeling; it is a daily decision to trust that Jesus died, rose again, and is still working miracles today.

Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana reveals that every sign and wonder is ultimately meant to point us to the glory of Christ, not simply the miracle itself.In this message, we discover how turning water into wine foreshadows the salvation Jesus would accomplish through His death and resurrection, inviting us into a life transformed by His grace.

In this message from 1 Peter 2:1–10, we explore the biblical theology of the altar and discover how God's people have always encountered Him through lives of worship and surrender.From the sacrifices of the Old Testament to Jesus' once-for-all sacrifice on the cross, this sermon reveals that believers are now called to offer their entire lives as living sacrifices to Christ. As Banner Church prepares for a season of prayer, fasting, and believing for miracles, this message challenges us to move from consumer Christianity to wholehearted devotion with Jesus at the center.Be encouraged to lay down whatever is keeping you from God and trust that when we seek Him, He faithfully meets us.

Prayer is far more than asking God for what we want—it is how we stay connected to His power, His presence, and His purpose in every season of life.In this final message from the book of James, we discover what it means to pray with faith, align our hearts with God's will, encourage one another through prayer, and faithfully intercede for those who have wandered from Him.Whether you're walking through hardship, celebrating God's goodness, or believing for breakthrough, this message will strengthen your confidence in the God who hears and responds to His people.

In this message, we explore Matthew 6 and the model prayer that Jesus Christ gave His disciples, answering the question: what should we actually pray for?This sermon walks through the The Lord’s Prayer as a framework for aligning our hearts with God’s will, priorities, and presence. Rather than focusing only on personal desires, we are challenged to seek God’s kingdom first and trust Him for daily provision, forgiveness, and strength.Ultimately, this message reminds us that prayer is not just about changing circumstances—it’s about being transformed and aligned with God’s direction for our lives.

In this message, we explore Jesus’ teaching in and uncover how our deepest hungers shape the direction of our lives. This sermon challenges us to examine what we are truly craving—whether it’s success, relationships, or God—and how those desires are being formed by our community, experiences, and daily habits.You’ll be encouraged to see that hunger isn’t a weakness, but an invitation to pursue something greater.Ultimately, this message reminds us that choosing to hunger for God leads to a life that is truly full, even when we are still waiting.

In this message, we explore how to truly discern and follow God’s direction in our lives, not by relying on our own understanding, but by learning to hear His voice.Through the story of Jesus calling His first disciples in Luke 5, we see that God’s direction often requires surrender, obedience, and letting go of comfort. The sermon challenges us to ask better questions—shifting from “What is God’s will for my life?” to “Am I willing to follow what God is already doing?”Ultimately, this message calls us to lay down everything and trust that God’s plan is greater than anything we could build on our own.

In this Easter message, The Reality of the Resurrection, the speaker unpacks how the resurrection of Jesus is not just a story to believe, but a reality to experience in everyday life.

In this message, Ryan explores what it truly means to believe in the Church through the lens of Jesus’ prayer in John 17. He unpacks a biblical definition of the Church as a set-apart people—citizens of heaven—called to worship, disciple, pray, and live in authentic community.Centered on Jesus’ prayer, the sermon highlights four defining marks of a healthy church: knowing God deeply, living in unity, being set apart in holiness, and growing through the power of the gospel.Ultimately, this message calls believers to become the kind of church that reflects Jesus and answers His prayer for His people.

In this message, we explore who Jesus is through Philippians 2 and the Apostles’ Creed: the Son of God, the Messiah, and our Lord.This sermon centers on the truth that Jesus is supreme over all creation, fully God, fully human, and the only one worthy of our faith, worship, and allegiance. It also highlights the power and authority carried in the name of Jesus, reminding us that his name brings healing, freedom, salvation, and hope.In a world full of competing voices and false sources of security, this message calls the church back to a clear confession: Jesus Christ is Lord.

In this message, Dan explores one of the most important truths about God: that He is not only almighty and creator, but also Father.Walking through John 13–16 and the Apostles’ and Nicene Creed themes, he shows how Jesus consistently used moments of confusion and interruption to reveal the heart of the Father. The sermon highlights several facets of God’s fatherhood: He thinks ahead for us, makes Himself accessible through Jesus, reveals Himself to us, loves us, and stays near to us.At its core, this message calls listeners to receive a fresh revelation of the Father’s love and to live not from performance, but from sonship and daughterhood.

In the first message of The Creed series, we explore the opening words of the Apostles’ Creed: “I believe.”Walking through Hebrews 11 and Romans 10, this sermon unpacks what biblical faith truly is—confident trust in Jesus that leads to obedience, not superstition or empty words. Christianity does not begin with “I do,” but with “I believe,” rooted in what Jesus has already accomplished on the cross. Discover how real faith transforms your alignment, fuels obedience, and invites you to publicly respond through surrender, communion, and baptism.

In the final week of our series on the four Greek words for love, we explore phileo—the love of friendship—and why it’s often the most neglected kind of love in our lives.From Jesus’ anguish in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26), we see that real friendship means having people you can bleed with, wrestle with, and be honest with when life is crushing. We also learn the difference between vulnerability and intimacy, and why not everyone is safe enough for your inner circle.Finally, we’re challenged to fight for our relationships the way Jesus did—through forgiveness, restoration, and gospel-centered friendship.

In Part 3 of the series Is This Really Love?, we explore eros—romance, passion, and desire—through Song of Solomon 8:6–7 and what Scripture says about love’s power.This message shows eros as a good gift from God, while warning that unsubmitted passion can become a false god that drives decisions, compromises character, and damages relationships. You’ll hear a clear framework for putting love in the right order—agape at the head of the table—so romance serves God’s purposes instead of replacing them.The sermon ends with a reframed definition of passion: not just what you feel, but what you’re willing to endure—pointing to Jesus’ love that is stronger than death and offering freedom, healing, and a new start.

In week two of Is This Really Love?, Pastor Ryan teaches from Romans 12:9–21 that real love isn’t just spoken—it flows from a changed heart. He unpacks storgē (familial affection) as the “warmth of mutual family love” that should mark the church, especially in a divided world.This message shows how God’s own tender affection toward us becomes the source for loving others—including those who hurt us—and why community is the training ground for that kind of love. The sermon closes with an invitation to surrender our cold, guarded hearts to Jesus and receive a new heart empowered to overcome evil with good.

In this message, we open a new February series, Is This Really Love?, by grounding our understanding of love in 1 John 4:7–12.Scripture reveals that God is the source and definition of love, showing us agape—self-sacrificing, covenantal love—most clearly through the cross of Jesus Christ.This sermon challenges cultural definitions of love that stop at feelings or words and calls us to measure love by actions and decisions. As we receive God’s love, we are invited into transformation and commanded to love others with the same sacrificial love we have been shown.

In this message from Guest Speaker Daniel Fernandez, we explore the role of the Holy Spirit as God’s companion with us through seasons of change. Drawing from John 14 and Acts 2, this teaching unpacks how Jesus promised the Spirit not as a concept to fully explain, but as a presence to be experienced. We wrestle honestly with questions, misconceptions, and wounds surrounding the Holy Spirit while inviting fresh openness to how God chooses to move. Ultimately, this message calls us to receive the Holy Spirit with trust, curiosity, and faith—allowing God to be fully God in our lives.

In week three of our Changes series, we explore Mark 1:35–42 and discover how transformation often begins with place—the environments and rhythms that shape our hearts.From Jesus waking early to pray in solitude, we learn that real change comes from being with God, not just doing more, and that fruitfulness flows from connection to Him. We also look at the power of the right companions, the kind of people who keep us focused on what matters most and faithful to Jesus’ mission.Finally, we see a leper’s desperate step of faith—and the powerful reminder that Jesus is always willing to heal, restore, and make us clean when we run to Him.

In Week 2 of our series called CHANGES, we open Luke 4:1–14 and explore the cost of change through Jesus’ time in the wilderness.Real transformation doesn’t bypass the process—sometimes the Spirit leads us into hard places so our faith can be formed and our lives can be refined. This message challenges us to give up self-dependence and idols, and to pick up deeper dependence on God and a passionate pursuit of His presence. If you’re in a wilderness season, be encouraged: don’t give up—God is working, and Jesus has already paid the cost so you can be changed.

In Mark 1:1–11, we kick off our new series “Changes” by looking at where real change actually begins—Jesus, the Messiah and Son of God.This message unpacks the difference between external change and spiritual transformation, showing how God renews us from the inside out.We’re challenged to prepare the way through repentance and making room for Jesus, stepping into 21 days of prayer and fasting (January 5–25) as a church. As we respond, we’re invited to lay down the failures God has already forgiven and draw near to the Father who calls us loved.

As we wrap up 2025 and look ahead to the new year, this message shares eight keys to starting 2026 strong, rooted in Philippians 3:12–14. Through faith, community, humility, simplicity, and action, we’re invited to let go of the past and press forward into everything God has prepared for us.This teaching offers practical encouragement to pursue real, lasting change while defining success through an eternal, heaven-focused lens. Take time with the accompanying reflection guide and step into the new year with clarity, purpose, and hope that the best is yet to come.Reflection Guide - https://drive.google.com/file/d/11QmPNALdu_V_j9IbJhBAQuJZk79ovFJA/view?usp=drive_linkWelcome Lunch - https://bannerseattle.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3310056Connect With Us! - https://bannerseattle.churchcenter.com/people/forms/645090

In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Ryan takes us to an unexpected place—Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew 1—to show that grace has been woven into God’s story from the very beginning.By highlighting the brokenness, scandal, and redemption found in Jesus’ family line, we’re reminded that God doesn’t hide messy stories—He redeems them. Ryan shares his own testimony of how God met him in pain and addiction, rewriting the label of “unworthy” with forgiveness and purpose.The service closes with a powerful testimony about deliverance from depression, anxiety, and self-harm, and an invitation for anyone to encounter the life-changing love of Jesus.

In this Advent message, Pastor Ryan continues the Christmas series by exploring “Joy in the Mess” from Luke 2:4–20, reminding us that Jesus often meets us in the most broken and ordinary places. He unpacks how true Christian joy goes deeper than a good mood—it’s rooted in the good news that Christ came to save, deliver, and set us free. Through the story of the manger, the shepherds, and the angel’s proclamation of “great joy,” we’re invited to make room for Jesus in every part of our lives and place our full weight on Him in faith.

In this message from Matthew 2:1–12, we follow the Magi’s journey to Jesus and discover that the Prince of Peace often shows up in the middle of chaos—not after it’s gone. Pastor Ryan unpacks what biblical “peace” (shalom) really means: wholeness found in a person, not the absence of problems. He challenges the common traps that steal peace—distraction, shame, performance, and fear—and points us back to grace and relationship with Jesus. If you’ve been longing for calm in a messy season, this message invites you to lift your eyes off the “Herods” in your life and receive the peace only Jesus can give.

In this first message from Banner's Advent series, we look to the arrival of Jesus as our true source of hope. Walking through the story of Zechariah, Elizabeth, and Mary in Luke 1, Pastor Ryan shows how God is still at work even when our prayers feel delayed and life doesn’t look like we expected.He shares personal stories of disappointment, longing, and breakthrough to remind us that hope looks like persevering in faith, surrendering our expectations, and trusting God’s ability rather than our own.If you’ve ever felt stuck in the “in-between,” this message invites you to step into the presence of Jesus and discover that hope has a name.

In part three of our Higher Vision series, Pastor Ryan unpacks the question, “Why tithe?” through Malachi 3 and the biblical principle of firstfruits. He teaches that tithing isn’t about God needing our money, but about offering our first and best to Him as an act of worship, trust, and spiritual maturity.As we honor God with the first 10% of our income, He promises to provide for our needs, free our hearts from greed, and bless what remains.This message calls Banner Church to stop giving God leftovers and become a truly generous, worshiping church in the middle of Seattle.

In part two of our A Higher Vision series, Pastor Ryan unpacks what it means to manage our money God’s way through stewardship, obedience, and generosity.Drawing from the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, he reminds us that God owns it all, we simply manage it, and that faithfulness matters far more than the amount we have. This message gets super practical with a biblical framework for our finances: give to the Lord, pay what you owe, save for the future, invest in multiplication, and spend with purpose.Ultimately, we’re invited to loosen our grip on “my money,” live for eternity, and become a crazy generous church that sees God do crazy things in our families, our city, and beyond.

In this message kicking off our Higher Vision series, Pastor Ryan unpacks what Jesus really says about money, possessions, and eternity—and why our finances are so deeply tied to our hearts.He shares his own story of having a lot, losing everything (twice), and how that shaped his view of wealth, fear, and God as Provider. Together we confront the lies of both the poverty gospel (“God loves me more because I’m poor”) and the prosperity gospel (“God loves me more because I’m rich”), and learn instead to see money as a tool, a test, and a testimony in God’s hands.You’ll be invited into a life of stewardship and generosity rooted not in guilt, but in the reality that in Christ, you are already rich.

In the final message of our Searching for Answers series, Pastor Ryan unpacks one of life’s biggest questions: What happens when we die?Through Scripture and honest reflection, he explores what eternity looks like, what happens the moment we take our last breath, and how what we believe about death shapes the way we live today.If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about heaven, judgment, or the hope of eternal life, this message will point you toward the truth and peace found in Jesus.

Talking about faith in a world full of different beliefs and perspectives isn’t always easy. But Jesus invites us into honest, loving conversations that reflect His heart. In this message, Pastor Ryan Kim shares practical wisdom on how to approach conversations with humility and curiosity, listen well and love people first, share the hope of Jesus without pressure or fear, and trust the Holy Spirit to move in every moment. Whether you’re new to faith or learning how to speak about what you believe with confidence, this message will equip you to step into meaningful conversations that point others to Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Ryan addresses one of the most sensitive and important questions in modern culture: What does the Bible say about LGBTQ+? With honesty, compassion, and biblical clarity, he walks through six key passages and wrestles with the tension between theological conviction and radical love. While affirming a historic Christian view of sex and marriage, Ryan calls the church to reject shame and extend grace, especially where there’s been pain and hurt. This sermon is not about condemnation—it’s an invitation to follow Jesus with humility, no matter where you’re starting from.
