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.
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)
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.
This coming Sunday, I’ll be preaching on John 4:43-54 and Jesus’ healing of an official’s son. John tells us that “this was the second sign that Jesus did when He had come from Judea to Galilee.
It’s an amazing thing that Jesus would just speak the word and heal, but that’s what He did. He did this so that we wouldn’t be stuck on signs and wonders, but would be stuck on who He is and what He says. I hope to see you Sunday as we think about this.
This coming Sunday, 5/8/16, is Mother’s Day. In God’s providence, I’m reaching John 4:1-42 in my series through John’s Gospel, so Sunday’s message will deal with Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at the well. It’s going to be a fun morning. I love this passage, because it showcases that Jesus is for everyone…He’s the Savior of the world. We look forward to seeing you then.
This coming Lord’s Day (5/1/16), our church will be continuing to make our way through the Gospel of John. Specifically, my sermon will be on John 3:22-36. The point of this potent passage is exalting Jesus.
Exalting Jesus, for many in the church, is one of those “duh” things. We assume this. We all affirm that this is reality. Most wouldn’t dare say we shouldn’t. But, tease out practicalities and we’ll quickly loose sight of Him for our pet issue. So, this passage is an amazing corrective and focus for us to not lose sight of the point of the Bible: exalting Jesus. I hope you’ll join us Sunday for this.
We’ve been anticipating this coming Sunday for a while (really since last year when we were in India). On 4/10, we’re excited to welcome Vivek and Luke, some international partners of ours in India to Crestview. We’re going to have a weekend to connect with them:
This coming Lord’s Day, 4/3/16, my sermon will come from back in the Gospel of John, specifically John 2:1-12 and the first sign in John’s Gospel where Jesus turned water into wine.
