My 6/12/16AM sermon, Bread of Life from John 6:22-40, is now online (we also discussed this in Small Groups). You may wonder what Jesus meant by such a statement and part of what I tried to do in this sermon was to unpack what Jesus was saying. There were all kinds of applications about coming and believing in Jesus, the nature of eternal life as Jesus raises up those who have been given to Him in the last day, and events simple worship that emerges from hearts who are dialed in to all the realities about Jesus that are revealed in this passage. I hope it helps give you some kind of hope in these days.
Gospel Friday – Bread Of Life
This coming Sunday, I’ll be beginning 2 weeks of preaching on the amazing narrative found in John 6:22-71. This is where Jesus refers to Himself as the Bread of Life.
What does this mean? Well, there are probably lots of things that need to be said to unpack this, but I like the simple statement found in John 6:35:
“I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”
Responding to the Bread of Life, then, means coming to Jesus to have your hunger and thirst satisfied. This comes as you believe in Him. Today, then, as you think about the Gospel and realities found in the amazing good news of Jesus, who came for you, remember that you have come to One who is able to satisfy all that you need fully. He’s your Bread of Life. Praise Him for that reality today.
Weekend Recap – Jesus Is Enough
I enjoyed an amazing Lord’s Day yesterday, 6/5/16. My sermon, Jesus Is Enough, was from John 6:1-21 — amazing stories about Jesus feeding 5000, withdrawing from crowd, and walking on water — and highlighted the fact that Jesus Is Enough for all of our needs. I hope you find the sermon encouraging and it helps you deepen your trust in Jesus.
Another highlight of the day was teaching Ross King’s song Hallelujah For The Cross. I hope it encourages a love for the Gospel in the people of Crestview.
Weekend Preview – Jesus Is Enough
This coming Lord’s Day, we’re going to explore John 6:1-21. There are three amazing stories here: Jesus Feeding the 5000, Jesus withdrawing from the crowds, and Jesus walking on water.
The point of this? Jesus is enough. It doesn’t matter what your need is, Jesus is able to supply all the you need. He’s one you can rest in, rely on, and trust in. Read this passage and see if Jesus isn’t up the challenge of all the you need.
Weekend Recap – Hearing and Believing
“If Jesus were alive today, He’d…” so begins the meta-narrative that so many in our culture espouse. And, the One who is the same yesterday, today, and forever has spoken. My sermon from John 5:19-47 entitled Hearing and Believing is now online (preached on Sunday, 5/29). Part of what I get at is that if Jesus were alive today, He’d be just as out of step with the culture as He was with first century culture. Why? Because what He had to say had to do with who He is and how we respond to Him. So, do you hear and believe Him? I hope this sermon helps you understand why you should do this.
Gospel Friday – Judgment or Life, Which?
Weekend Preview – John 5 (Jesus’ Defense)
You may have questions about Jesus, who He is, what He’d say or do today. But, have you considered what Jesus actually said? In the passage we’ll explore this coming Sunday, Jesus helps connect why He does what He does with who He is, how it relates to Him being from the Father, and what it means for us. There’s an excellent summary in v.24. Read John 5:19-47. Be prepared to hear what Jesus thinks.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. (John 5:24 ESV)
Weekend Recap – Seeking To Kill Jesus
My 5/22/16AM sermon, Seeking To Kill Jesus from John 5:1-18, is now online (we also discussed this sermon in Small Groups). The point of this text is showing the increasing hostility between Jesus and the religious leaders. The healing of an invalid on the Sabbath was the vehicle chosen to further the hostility. At any rate, I hope this sermon helps you and you’re able to connect into God’s love for you through His Son.
Gospel Friday – Jesus Saves Sinners
Weekend Preview – Killing Jesus
This coming Sunday, May 22nd, we will continue working through the Gospel of John and getting into John 5:1-18. This Gospel moves quickly to that last week of Jesus’ life. And, the plot builds in substantial ways in John 5. Specifically, we learn why the deeply religious wanted to kill Jesus. I hope you’ll come to see why religious wanted to kill Him and what this means for your life and mine.
