Where Is My Room | Elder Justin Ockhuis | 09 May 2026
About this episode
Elder Justin Ockhuis discusses the importance of making room for Jesus in our lives, emphasizing commitment and surrender.
The sermon, “Where is My Room?” by Justin Ockhuis, focused on making space for Jesus in every aspect of life. Using Mark 14:14 as the central text, Elder Ockhuis explained that God is not looking for a small corner in our lives, but a “large upper room” — a place of priority, commitment, and surrender. He illustrated how people often make room for work, entertainment, social media, health, and worldly pursuits, yet neglect their relationship with God. Drawing from stories such as the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 and Revelation 3:20, he emphasized that creating room for Christ brings spiritual growth, strength in crises, and renewed purpose. The sermon also warned against merely appearing religious while keeping Jesus outside the heart. Elder Ockhuis urged the congregation to respond to Christ’s call, open the door fully, and allow Jesus to dwell within their homes, priorities, and daily lives before it is too late.
