Who is Jesus? At this point in John's gospel, people are starting to make decisions about who they think Jesus is, and dividing lines are being drawn. "Is He just a prophet?" "Is He the Savior?" "Is He just a normal person making bold claims?"
As we have journeyed through the Book of John, one thing has been clear—everyone has an opinion about who Jesus is. But who does Jesus say that he is? As we come to “the last and greatest day” of the Festival of Booths in John chapter 7, we get
Have you ever wondered why people argue about who Jesus really is? As we continue in Chapter 7 of the Gospel of John, opinions fly, debates heat up, and confusion reigns. This week, we dive into the chaos and discover the reasons behind the div
Just because something’s true, doesn’t mean everyone accepts it. In fact, sometimes the truth is the hardest thing for us to hear. This week we look at one of the truths where dividing lines were drawn.
Everyone’s got one and it usually stinks… that’s right, an opinion! They are everywhere about everything and everyone - especially about Jesus. As we turn the page to chapter 7, we will see what these opinions are and what we should do about th
What was your favorite costume or play-pretend growing up? Even though we looked the part or put on the mask, we know we weren't *actually* a magician or princess. As we wrap up John 6 this week, we will see the truth that there's a major diffe
In the middle of a chapter on bread, fish, provision, and Jesus’ self-proclamation as the Bread of Life comes an odd turn of events—rough seas and a midnight stroll… on the water. This week we tackle one of the more amazing—and baffling—signs t
The Gospel of John is all about understanding who Jesus truly is. John gives us 7 signs (or miracles) to experience His power and authority. He also gives us 7 “I Am” statements to believe in Jesus in His own words! Today, we look at the first
A wise missionary once said, “You can’t preach over the sound of a grumbling stomach!” As we continue our study through the Gospel of John, it’s not the fact that Jesus feeds thousands of people - it’s how He does it! And perhaps there’s a more
Do you love a good courtroom movie or show? There’s always those tense scenes about witnesses being called to the stand. So, what kind of witness testimony would Jesus give about Himself? Let’s find out!
Imagine your dad was the President of the United States. What type of attitude would you walk around with? Probably with some type of authority yourself! As we pick up on the story from last week, we will see how the healing of an invalid man b
Imagine your dad was the President of the United States. What type of attitude would you walk around with? Probably with some type of authority yourself! As we pick up on the story from last week, we will see how the healing of an invalid man b
Jesus is the master of questions. This week, we hear the penetrating, grace-filled question: Do you want to get well? Of course, wouldn’t all of us respond with a resounding, ‘yes!’? But what does it mean to truly be ‘well’? We will wrestle thr
The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a fun fable about the importance of telling the truth so that people will always be willing to listen to what you have to say. For this weekend’s message, we pick up where we left of with the Samaritan woman at the wel
What do you get when you mix a centuries-long blood feud, religious customs, and a local watering hole? One of the most powerful stories in all of Scripture! In this week’s journey through the Gospel of John, we examine the story where Jesus me
Every year we need to go get some check-ups. From the doctor to the dentist to even our vehicles, these diagnostics help us to know if we’re on the right track or need to make adjustments. As we continue our series in the Gospel of John, we get
It’s the most famous verse of all time given to summarize the greatest message of all time! You’ve seen it on billboards, signs at ball games, and you might even know it by heart without even trying. This Easter, we celebrate by reminding ourse
We’re not gonna lie, sometimes our faith comes with some odd-sounding terms that get thrown around. Lukewarm… In the world, but not of the world… born again… This week we look at the passage where one of those phrases comes from and see the tru
The majority of depictions of Jesus show a meek and calm man. Why is He always holding a lamb with a big smile? The thing is, Jesus was raw, real, and not always the quiet type. For week seven of I Am, let’s discover what makes Jesus mad.
The number one rule of any party is to never run out of food or drink! Everyone knows that! Enter Jesus’ first miracle recorded in His ministry and let’s just say, no one was ‘wine-ing’ afterwards! As we continue in our series, I Am, we will se
How many people would you need to turn the world upside-down? And what would your standards be for those to make the so-called exclusive list? For this week in I Am, we see Jesus's peculiar choice to string together the start of His world-chang
Choose two words to describe yourself… ready, go! Let me guess - smart and funny? Well, what if you were tasked to pick two words that would best describe who Jesus is? Join us for week 3 of I Am as we look at the words Jesus chose for himself.
Did you ever play flashlight tag as a kid? The key was to play in a dark place and have a strong light that would shine on others. In a similar manner, the Gospel of John talks about the power of Light and its intent to land on all running in d
Do you know someone who reads the end of a book first or looks up the end of a movie before watching it for the first time? For many of us, that seems strange! However, knowing how something ends helps paint the picture of the story that will u
