How strong is your faith in Jesus right now? On a scale of 1 to 10, where are you? The honest answer usually surfaces in the middle of a storm, a life storm. In this sermon we looked John 6 and Jesus walking on water. The disciples had just witnessed the feeding of the 5000. They’d seen it with their own eyes. And still their faith was weak. Sound familiar? Jesus knew what they needed most, and He sent them straight into a storm to get it. Listen to or watch this sermon and hear Jesus speak to you right where you are, “It is I; do not be afraid.”
More Than the Miracle – John 6:1-14
This past Sunday in John 6:1-14 we looked at the feeding of the 5000. A crowd of thousands witnessed an incredible miracle. But they missed the point. They wanted what Jesus could give them, they didn’t want Jesus himself. In fact, we all do that. But Jesus came to give us something far greater than a miracle. He came to deal with our greatest problem.
He Wrote of Me – John 5:30-47
In this week’s message from John 5:30-47, we look at the evidence Jesus puts on the table for the religious leaders who refused to believe him. From the testimony of John the Baptist to the witness of his own works, the Father, and the Old Testament Scriptures, the evidence is more than enough. So why didn’t they believe? And what does their unbelief say to us today?
Hear and Live – John 5:19-29
In this week’s message from John 5:19-29, Pastor Kevin explores Jesus’ bold claims to be both the giver of life and the judge of all mankind, and what it means to truly honor God. As Jesus confronts the religious leaders of his day, he makes clear that honoring the Father and honoring the Son are […]
Your Greater Need – John 5:1-18
A man gets healed after 38 years of being unable to walk, and the religious leaders are furious. How does that happen? In last Sunday’s sermon in John 5:1-18, we looked at what the healing at the Pool of Bethesda reveals about our tendency to substitute tradition for true obedience, and why Jesus is the greater need we all share.
More Than a Healing – John 5:1-18
John 5 brings to a scene in Jerusalem where Jesus, surrounded by a multitude of the sick, blind, and paralyzed, approaches one man who has been an invalid for thirty-eight years. Jesus heals him on the spot, but You might be surprised to find out this passage isn’t mainly about physical healing. As we begin digging into John 5:1-18 together, we’ll see that the physical healing Jesus performed pointed to something far greater, the spiritual healing that every one of us desperately needs.
