Weekend Recap – Easter 2016

by

We enjoyed an amazing day at Crestview on Easter.  The entire weekend from Good Friday to Easter Sunday, really drew attention to Jesus and hopefully encouraged people to praise Him for who He is and what He’s done.  My Easter sermon, Don’t Disbelieve; Believe! from John 20:24-29, examined the doubting Thomas narrative and my outline had to do with the progression to celebrating Easter from disbelief, to Jesus’ nearness, to confession, and blessing.  I hope it encourages you.

Good Friday 2016

by

It’s amazing to think of the day of one’s death as a good thing.  But, this Good Friday is good because the only One who is good, became sin, so that in Him, we are aren’t good might become good.  It’s an amazing exchange.  I hope you have a great day admiring Jesus for what He’s done to make you good.

If you’re able, join us at Crestview tonight as we celebrate Good Friday at 6PM.

Weekend Preview – Easter

by

This will be a busy weekend at Crestview.  

On Friday night, at 6PM, we’ll be enjoying the Lord’s Supper together and considering Jesus’ journey to the cross.  Plan to join us as we adore Jesus for what He’s done.
On Sunday morning, we have a church wide brunch at 8:30AM, Sunday School at 9AM and Corporate Worship at 10:15AM.  My sermon will focus on the amazing narrative we get in John 20:24-29 and Thomas’ persistence to see Jesus’ hands and side.  I hope you come ready to praise God for raising Jesus from the dead.  

Weekend Preview – Palm Sunday 2016

by

This coming Sunday, March 20, will be Palm Sunday.  It’s a great day to kick off holy week and celebrating Jesus’ work.  We’ll have children singing in our AM service and take our annual children’s photograph after the AM service.  
In terms of sermon, I’m going to keep working through John’s Gospel, specifically John 1:35-51.  This passage unpacks some basics of what it means to be a follower of Christ, so the theme will work nicely with the emphasis of Palm Sunday.  I hope you’ll join us. 

Weekend Recap – John the Baptist’s Witness

by

My 3/13/16AM sermon, John the Baptist’s Witness from John 1:19-34, is now online.  We also discussed this in our Small Groups.  It was a fun sermon to be a part of.  I was really affected noticing John the Baptist’s humility, his continued pointing to Jesus, and his clear verbal expression of who Jesus is and what He came to do.  I hoping this sermon brought fruit to your life.  If you didn’t get a chance, I hope you find encouragement in this free audio.

Weekend Preview – The Witness of John

by

This coming Lord’s Day, we’ll be continuing our work in the Gospel of John looking at John 1:19-34 (we will also have Small Groups and I’ve written small group questions for this passage here).  The big idea will be what we learn from John the Baptist’s witness to Jesus.  Our witness is bigger than us and it’s about Him.  So, I’m hoping this coming Sunday helps encourage people with how they can bear witness to Jesus in more skillful ways.  I hope you’ll join us.
