What makes music more than sound? For Johann Sebastian Bach, beauty was never an end in itself—it was a pathway to God. His life still asks a searching question: What is music for? Bach’s answer was clear—to proclaim the gospel and glorify the Lord Jesus. This sermon was originally preached September 22, 2024 “Jesus, Help Me”: Bach’s Purpose and Ours Bach often wrote two sets of initials on his scores. At the end: SDG — Soli Deo Gloria  (“to God alone be the glory”). At the b

We often try to “be better,” fix our mistakes, and find our own way to God. But that path is exhausting and never brings peace. If your confidence is in what you do, you’ll always wonder if it’s enough. The Bible is honest: we’ve all sinned and cannot save ourselves. But God acted first by sending His son, Jesus, to die for our sins. Jesus took the punishment we deserved so we could be forgiven and brought near to God. Real peace comes when you stop trusting your efforts and

You’re told to “find your own path,” but that’s confusing when eternity is at stake. If heaven is real, you need more than guesses. Jesus gives a clear answer: there aren’t many roads—there’s one. He invites you to Himself, not to a list of rituals or a ladder of good deeds. In the Short, you hear it plainly: there’s one way, and missing Him means missing the way. Why is Jesus the only way?

Jesus Christ. He is God’s eternal Son who came into the world to save sinners and to open blind eyes. In John 9, Jesus healed a man born blind and then asked, “Do you believe in the Son of God?” The man asked who that was, and Jesus said, “You have seen Him.” The One who gave him sight stood before him. ( John 9:35–38 , NKJV) Here’s the good news: Jesus, the Son of God, came to deal with our deepest problem, sin. On the cross He took our guilt. He rose again to give life tha

Do you ever feel like your life doesn’t matter? The Bible says, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” You were made in God’s image—that gives you real worth.
