So far in the book of John we have been introduced to Jesus, the Son of God, completely divine and yet somehow completely human. We have been painted a picture of the Messiah as the Creator of the world, the Word who was with God and was God, who was not only before all things...

Over the last few weeks we have begun our study of the book of John by seeing how John introduces us to Jesus. John doesn’t start with Jesus’ genealogy or birth like Matthew and Luke, he doesn’t begin with John the Baptist as Mark does, John begins with Jesus’ eternal nature. It’s important to John...

In his commentary on the book of John, Rodney Whitacre wrote “He who brought the universe into existence now is born within the universe as a human being. This thought is so familiar in Christianity we may no longer be staggered by it.” John began his gospel introducing us to Jesus by saying “In the...

The prologue, the first 18 verses of John, are an introduction to Jesus as John has seen Him. The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke are each a basic synopsis of Jesus’ life on earth, they cover events, details and experiences over a specific period of time in order to tell us “the story” of...

This morning our speaker was our youth leader, Amanda Mackie. Below is the introduction to her sermon. In our passage this morning, Jesus is talking about worry or anxiety. Anxiety is a fierce, often irrational pest. Its origins, I think, are in what we don’t know or what we don’t understand. And it is not...

This Advent we are going to take a close look at Jesus, the incarnate Son of God through John 1. John reveals Jesus as the Word, the Light and the Lamb. In this first message we set up the series by seeing Jesus as the “only begotten Son” of the Father. What exactly does that...

One of the most difficult things to figure out in a society that never stops talking is who we should actually be listening to. When surrounded by noise listening takes effort, it requires commitment; in what sounds like an oxymoron there is a need to hear less so that we can listen more. It’s not...

This Sunday one of our worship leaders, Ezequias Lamarche shared a message of unity and love with us. The Scriptures reveal to us that Jesus is everything that we were meant to be, that He walked in a pattern of boldness and a sense of meekness, declaring His authority while, at the same time confessing...

In this beatitude Jesus teaches us that there is an unbreakable connection between our identity as children of God and our willingness to live, not in, but for peace. It doesn’t say “Blessed are the peaceful, for they shall be called the sons of God”, it says the peacemakers will be called the sons of...
