     | 87 views

    John has shown us ample evidence that Jesus is Lord, Savior, and God, and that we should trust in Him for our salvation.

    That we may believe Text: John 20:30-31 Let’s take our Bibles and open them up to John 20. This morning, we’re going to look at John’s purpose statement. He’s going to tell us why he wrote this Gospel account. John 20:30-31 (READ). Ok, so there it is… Why did John write this? So that you may ...read more

    Open Tomb, Closed Case Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Apr 26, 2025
     | 160 views

    In our cynical world today, it's hard to trust anyone. All the institutions have been shown to be engaged in fraud, lying, and deception. But we can trust the Word of God and the God who gave us that Word.

    Open Tomb, Closed Case Text: John 20:1-29 So we just celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And like I said last Sunday, it’s the most amazing event in all of human history. So even though we’re going to be back in John’s Gospel this morning, we’re right at the point ...read more

    Lo In The Grave He Lay Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Apr 3, 2025
     | 172 views

    In 1st Corinthians 15 Paul says that the issues of first importance are the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. We hear a lot about the death of Christ, and the resurrection of Christ, but what about the burial? That's what we're looking at today.

    Lo In the Grave He Lay Text: John 19:31-42 Every time I preach I have a couple of goals. First I want to faithfully, and correctly exposit the Word of God. It’s the Word, rightly proclaimed and taught that makes all the difference… Secondly, I always hope and pray that through the preaching of ...read more

     | 203 views

    Jesus shows us amazing love while on the cross

    The Love of God Displayed Text: John 19:25-30 There’s a great quote that comes from a play written by the poet Francis Beaumont. It goes like this, “O’ Love – Tis enough to make a dog howl in rhyme!” And if you’ve ever been in love, you know exactly what that means. Love can make you do crazy ...read more

     | 240 views

    Jesus is the Lamb of God. He is the only mediator between God and man, and He is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

    The Lamb, the Man, and the King Text: John 19:23-30 Go ahead and open your Bibles up to John chapter 19… and while you’re turning there, I just want to remind you of something we read in John’s Gospel… all the way back in chapter one.

     | 115 views

    John gives his readers all the evidence they need to know and understand that Jesus is the promised Messiah. This sermon looks at that and urges hearers to accept Christ as Savior and Lord.

    Possibility, Probability and the Proof of Prophecy Text: John 19:16-24 Let’s go ahead and open up our Bible’s to John chapter 19. We’re going to camp out here for a couple of Sunday’s at least… we’ll see where the Lord leads us… But at least a couple of Sundays, because there’s so much here that ...read more

    Love On The Cross Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Mar 5, 2025
     | 364 views

    As Jesus stood trial before Pontius Pilate, Pilate had the opportunity to do the right thing, but his fear kept him from doing that. Had he been motivated by love instead, he could have stood.

    Love on the Cross Text: John 19:1-16 Before we dig in to our message today, let me just remind you of what’s happened so far. Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was taken before Annas and Caiaphas, the Jewish religious leaders and charged with blasphemy. ...read more

    Born To Be King Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Feb 28, 2025
     | 125 views

    As Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate He was asked if He was a king. Jesus is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, but His kingdom is not of this world. It is a kingdom of truth, and those who would be part of it must love the truth.

    Title: Born to be King Text: John 18:33-40 Now if you remember from last time, Jesus is on trial before Pontius Pilate. The Chief Priests and Pharisees have had a sham of a trial, and they accused Jesus of blasphemy… They want Him dead, but they don’t want to be the ones to kill Him because ...read more

    Title: Jesus Before Pilate Text: John 18:28-40 This morning, we’re going to be looking at John chapter 18, verses 28 through 40.

    All He Does Is Win! Series

     | 328 views

    Jesus never fails. A persons faith is only as good as the object they place it in. We must make sure that our faith in Jesus as He is revealed in Scripture. Not a "Jesus" of our own imagination.

    All He Does is Win! Text: John 18:12-27 Before we get into our text this morning, I’m just going to tell you that what we’re going to be looking at sounds like something that could be pulled from our modern-day news cycle. Solomon said, “There’s nothing new under the sun.” So, the next time ...read more

    Jesus is a sovereign Sacrifice and He cares for us.

    The Man in the Middle Text: John 18:1-11 The word “Treachery” comes from an old Latin word, “Tricari” which means, “an act of treason”, or literally, “faithlessness” to a sworn oath. It’s a word that doesn’t get a lot of use today… word meaning is becoming a thing of the past thanks to modernism… ...read more

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jan 24, 2025
     | 156 views

    As we continue looking at Jesus' High Priestly Prayer, we see Him shift focus to the disciples (and by extension - us). How wonderful it is that we have an advocate with the Father.

    The High Priestly Prayer (part two - John Part 55) Text: John 17:6-20 Well, this morning we’re going to continue looking at the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus in John chapter 17.

    In this world you will have trouble. But if we know God and understand His love for us, we can have peace in Christ and take heart during trying times.

    How to Take Heart in Trying Times Text: John 16:25-33 Well, this morning, we’re returning to our study of John’s Gospel, and just to remind you all of what where we were… Let me give you a quick re-cap.
