I’m still amazed at the passage we studied this past Sunday, Jesus being the Resurrection and the Life. But, it’s not enough that He’s who He is. What’s your response to this? Do you believe this?
Today, if you are clinging to Jesus alone by faith, then death has no hold on you. In fact, because of Jesus you know life now and will know life for eternity. Place your faith in Jesus.
My 8/14/16AM sermon, Resurrection and Life out of John 11:1-54, is now online. This sermon was my attempt to preach on the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. It is rich in showing us the glory of Jesus as He’s revealed as the Resurrection and the Life. I hope this sermon encourages you and helps you live.
This coming Sunday (Lord willing), we’ll continue our study in the Gospel of John at Crestview. In particular, I’ll be preaching on John 11:1-54 and the revelation of Jesus as the Resurrection and the Life through the healing of Lazarus.
Some thoughts:
Or, 3. if Carman is too much, here’s Greater Vision with their Southern Gospel hit, My Name is Lazarus.
Hope you enjoy these and come ready to see Jesus’s glory revealed in this amazing healing.
My 8/7/16AM sermon, Shepherd and Sheep from John 10:1-42, is now online. This sermon continues our series through the Gospel of John. Jesus is giving a disclosure to His audience of who He is and turns to use the ideas of shepherd and sheep to convey some rich truth about trusting in Him and experiencing the abundant life He offers. I hope this sermon encourages you.
This weekend, Lord willing, at Crestview, we’ll be looking (he, he) at Jesus healing a man who was born blind in John 9.
There’s so much to say about this, so plan to join us Sunday, 10:15AM and come to delight in Jesus with us. After all, as the famous hymn says, before Christ, “we once we blind, but now we see”.
Another thing this reminded me of was some classic Caedmon’s Call. Here you go:
See you Sunday.
My 7/24/16AM sermon, Light of the World out of John 8:12-59, is now online (with Small Group Questions). In this sermon, I wanted to unpack what Jesus meant when He said He was the light of the world, that whoever followed Him would not walk in darkness but have the light of life. To put it simply, Jesus was seeking to move us. He wanted our lives to be affected with this truth of who He is. Therefore, this passage demands things from us and our lives. I hope it encourages you.
This coming Sunday, we will be continuing our work in John’s Gospel. In John 7:25-52, there’s a big question on the table: Can this man really be the Christ? In other words, can Jesus be the Promised One, the Messiah? So, this passage unpacks who Jesus is. It helps us see where He’s really from, the life He gives, and how we can judge Him rightly. I hope to see you there as we hear Jesus address the concerns of our heart: our lack of trust and belief in Him. See you Sunday.
My 7/10/16AM sermon, Judging Jesus Rightly out of John 7:1-24, is now online. This sermon helped us unpack Jesus’s command of John 7:24 — “Don’t judge by appearances, but judge rightly.” It’s a command. From Jesus. To Judge. And, this passage helps us judge Jesus rightly be helping us focus on God’s timing, helping us see that Jesus’s teaching is from God, and calling us to not judge based on appearances only but rightly. I hope this sermon helps you, as well.
Do you have a category for judging rightly? If you DON’T, then you have to do something with Jesus, who said, “Don’t judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment” (John 7:24). This coming Sunday, we’ll be exploring this “right judgment” out of John 7:1-24. I hope you’ll join us and see the amazing way we can be shaped by God’s Word, even if it’s very much out of step with the prevailing notions our world might offer.
See you then.
My 6/19/16AM sermon, Bread from Heaven out of John 6:41-71, is now online. This sermon unpacked what the big deal was in the controversy about Jesus being the bread from heaven. Specifically, it showed how the Spirit gives eternal life through Jesus–Jesus alone. I hope it encourages you. We also had a baby dedication and took the Lord’s Supper together. It all proved to be a great morning. Crestview’s VBS starts at 6:30PM on 6/19/16. Hope you have a great Lord’s Day.
