JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE |LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS
Series: John: That You May Believe
In Jesus’ final hours, we see Him troubled by the darkness surrounding Him. One of His closest friends betrayed Him unto death, and the devil himself takes on a personal assaulting role. Jesus seems utterly alone and victimized as the night intensifies. However, Jesus is not merely a passive sufferer. No, right in the midst of this deepest darkness, Christ makes Himself known as the God of light. In this message, we shall consider God’s sovereign rule over darkness and light, and we shall marvel at the God who does all these things."JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS".

May 20, 2018JOHN-THAT-YOU-MAY-BELIEVE | CHRIST’S INSUFFERABLE EXAMPLESeries: John: That You May BelieveIn the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, He seems to have concentrated His time and attention upon His closest disciples. In John’s Gospel, we read about an evening meal during which Jesus took on an awkward task. Jesus – the Son of God, the Holy One of Israel, the Messiah of old – dressed Himself as a lowly servant and did a humiliating chore. In washing the feet of His disciples, He was illustrating His posture in all-of-life and calling His disciples to follow His example. In this message, we shall consider the summons Christ gives to His followers and the implications for Christian living.JOHN-THAT-YOU-MAY-BELIEVE | CHRIST’S INSUFFERABLE EXAMPLE

May 13, 2018JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE |HEAR & OBEY CHRIST’S WORDSSeries: John: That You May BelieveThe words of Jesus Christ are indeed the promises and precepts of eternal life. The one who hears and obeys Jesus has no judge, but rather enjoys freedom from condemnation altogether. But the one who does not receive Christ’s words... who does not hear and obey Christ’s words... that one will be judged and condemned by those same words on the last day. In this message, we shall consider the pleading and warning words of Christ at the close of His public ministry in the Gospel of John."JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | HEAR & OBEY CHRIST’S WORDS".

Apr 29, 2018JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE |OH LORD, HELP US SEE & BELIEVESeries: John: That You May BelieveGod has revealed Himself profoundly and compellingly in His word, and this is sometimes overwhelming to us. This is as we should expect. Wouldn’t it be surprising to learn about an infinite, omnipotent, and holy God that never surprised or confounded us? God, by definition, will regularly surprise and confound those who seek to know Him better. In this message, we learn God’s explanation for the reason we encounter unbelief in relation to Christ and the Gospel. With God’s help, we will delve into the mysteries of God’s gracious grace.

Apr 22, 2018JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE |SUBJECTS OF A SUFFERING KINGSeries: John: That You May BelieveThere are glorious promises in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The King of glory offers eternal life, present companionship with Himself, and honor from God the Father. But there is also a disturbing paradox among these pleasant words in Scripture. Christ earned these blessings for His followers at the troubling hour of His crucifixion. Christ beckon His disciples to suffering as they follow Him. Christ’s servants become partakers of everlasting life by hating and losing life in this world. In this message, we shall consider this paradox in the Gospel message to those would be subjects of a suffering king. "JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | SUBJECTS OF A SUFFERING KING".

Apr 15, 2018JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | CHRIST GENERATES EMOTIONSeries: John: That You May BelieveChristianity embraces the emotional experience, and it does so in the healthiest and most productive way. Emotion itself is neither good nor bad; but what motivates our emotions and how we express them can become morally good or bad. The experience and expression of emotion driven by the truth and nearness of Christ is marvelous and to be expected in the life of every believer. In this message, we shall consider the essential and beautiful experience of emotional expression in the Christian life. "JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | CHRIST GENERATES EMOTION".

Apr 8, 2018JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | DECLARING WAR ON THE MESSIAHSeries: John: That You May BelieveLike the Assyrian king who marveled at his own power (Is. 10:5-11), God used the religious leaders of Jerusalem to bring about His purposes of judgment in the world. Only this time, God’s judgment fell upon His own Son. What a profound display we see in the Gospel of Christ! In this message, we shall look to John 11:45-57 and consider the amazing heart of the Gospel message. In and through Jesus’ suffering, God exhausted His own wrath against sinners and gathered into one the Children of God from all peoples."JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | DECLARING WAR ON THE MESSIAH".

Apr 1, 2018JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE |JESUS IS THE RESURRECTIONSeries: John: That You May BelieveWhat a profound and magnificent promise Christ has made to all those who love and trust Him! And, what incredible evidence Christ has given in order to demonstrate His trustworthiness to make good on that promise!

Christ has raised dead men back to life, He has been resurrected Himself (never to die again), and Christ will raise all His people to new and everlasting life in the end. In this message, we shall consider Christ’s miraculous power over death in the resurrection of His friend, Lazarus."JOHN: THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE | JESUS IS THE RESURRECTION ".

Mar 18, 2018MISSIONS SUNDAY | JESUS BUILDS HIS CHURCHSeries: Missions SundayWho is Jesus? What has He done in the world? What is He still doing in the world, and where can we see such activity? These questions are not unlike the question posed to Peter (Jesus’ disciple). Peter’s answer was a confession about Christ and a pivotal point in redemptive history. Jesus made some profound statements after that confession, and there is much we can learn from them today. In this message, we shall consider the reality that Christ Himself is the builder of His Church."MISSIONS SUNDAY | JESUS BUILDS HIS CHURCH ".
