Why were thousands of people searching for Jesus after the feeding of the 5,000?In John 6:22-29, Jesus confronts a crowd that appears spiritually hungry—but reveals that many were seeking Him for the wrong reasons.In this message, Pastor Jon Groves walks verse-by-verse through John 6 and explores three powerful questions Jesus asks every disciple:✅ What are you really seeking?✅ What are you really asking?✅ What are you really doing?Many people pursue miracles, experiences, traditions, conferences, blessings, and emotional highs while missing the very One those things were meant to reveal.This sermon challenges us to move beyond spiritual nostalgia, spiritual tourism, and religious performance and become genuine followers of Jesus Christ.Whether you've been in church your entire life or are exploring Christianity for the first time, this message will help you evaluate the authenticity of your faith and discover where true satisfaction is found.📍 Honor Church — Lake Mary, Florida🌐 Website: Honor.Church📍 Address:109 E.

May 25th, 2026 we celebrate Memorial Day, but Memorial Day is about far more than a long weekend.In this powerful expositional sermon from Joshua 4, Pastor Jon Groves explains why God commanded Israel to build memorial stones after crossing the Jordan River and why remembrance is essential for both nations and believers. Memorials are not ultimately about the object—they are about the story attached to it.This message explores:Why God commands remembranceThe spiritual danger of forgetfulnessHow memorials preserve gratitude and reverenceWhy future generations must hear the stories of God’s faithfulnessThe connection between national blessing and honoring GodHow Christians should think biblically about Memorial Day, patriotism, sacrifice, and worship📖 Main Text: Joshua 4:1–7 (ESV)At Honor Church, we believe:“Memorials exist to magnify the mighty hand of God.”If this message encouraged you, share it with someone and subscribe for more biblical preaching, expositional sermons, Christian worldview teaching, and practical discipleship content.📍Honor Church109 E Crystal Lake AveLake Mary, FL🌐 Visit: Honor Church📱 Follow Pastor Jon Groves:Instagram: @JonLGrovesYouTube: Jon Groves YouTube

What happens when Christians keep building… but stop seeking the presence of God?Online tithes & offerings: www.honor.churchIn this powerful sermon from 2 Kings 6:1–7, Pastor Jon Groves walks through the story of the sons of the prophets asking Elisha, “Would you go with us?” and reveals a life-changing truth:You can have the right plan and still lack the right presence.This message confronts modern Christianity’s obsession with success, systems, growth, and performance while calling believers back to the manifest presence of God. From Moses crying, “If Your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here,” to Samson not realizing the Spirit had departed from him, this sermon is a wake-up call for every believer, ministry leader, church, and family.If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, distant from God, overwhelmed, anxious, or tired of religious routine without revival, this message is for you.

First Things First

Most nativity scenes place the wise men beside the manger, but Matthew’s Gospel tells a deeper, more challenging story.In this message, Hidden Worship, we slow down and walk carefully through Matthew 2:1–12 to uncover what God hid in plain sight about real worship. The wise men didn’t simply bring gifts, they modeled a kind of worship that still transforms lives today.These were not kings. They were outsiders. Gentile scholars. Seekers. Sinners. And yet, they traveled great distances, risked their lives, bowed in surrender, and left changed...all to worship Jesus.This sermon explores:Why worship begins with seeking, not certaintyHow knowledge without pursuit leads to apathyThe difference between religious familiarity and genuine surrenderWhy true worship always costs somethingHow worship leads to obedience and a changed directionThis message challenges us to ask: Are we worshiping Jesus out of tradition or out of surrender?Whether you’re a longtime believer, a skeptic, or someone still searching, this message reveals what real worship has always looked like and why Jesus is still welcoming seekers today.📍 Scripture: Matthew 2:1–12
