The Rev. Dr. Dan De Leon, our Senior Pastor, delivers a message reflecting on John 14:15-24, titled “Following the Imperfect Jesus" on the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost.

A brief synopsis:

This sermon challenges the idea of placing Jesus on an unreachable pedestal of moral purity, arguing that doing so lets Christians avoid the responsibility of following his example. It explores how Jesus' life, not as a flawless figure but as someone who lived imperfectly and compassionately, offers a model for us to act on God's commandments. The message encourages believers to live out the mercy and love of Jesus through tangible actions rather than mere reverence.
