    John 5: The Divinity Of Christ

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Apr 24, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,452 views

    A large share of the population, and even of Christians, believe that Jesus was not God incarnate, but a mere man. In John 5, Jesus answers those accusing Him of blasphemy with a claim of divinity that leaves no room for that belief.

    I) The divinity of Jesus is a fundamental and essential tenet of Christianity. It is also one of the most difficult aspects of Christianity for the world to accept. A) A survey conducted in 2020 by Ligonier Ministries found that 52 percent of U.S. adults believe that Jesus is not God. Not only ...read more

    Trust something we give sometimes without thinking. Do we really trust God? How is our trust destroyed? Christians trust as a sign of faith.

    Trust Proverbs 3:5-7 Perhaps you have not caught on to what God has had me doing in the past few weeks. Two weeks ago we had a message on Authority where we were reminded about the authority of every Christian. We discussed teachers, the president, and police as sources of authority. We ...read more

    Just as there is a due date for a pregnant woman to give birth, there is a set time for your promise, but don’t expect to give birth without any pain.

    Our text tells us of a famine condition that existed, and in the midst of a famine condition the man of God speaks a word of promise that has attached to it a (set time).

    In the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats we learn that since Jesus will return without warning to judge our service one is to live every moment considering the eternity God constantly and joyfully has placed within our hearts.

    Sensing God - Taste Series

     | 19,723 views

    This sermon continues the series on using all our senses to experience and live in relationship with God. The focus here is for us to taste that God is good, and for us to leave a good taste in the lives of not-yet-believers.

    Taste is a very powerful sense. The power of taste is something that I am very familiar with because we grew up in a Dutch-background household which meant we had salted liquorice in our house. For those of you who are familiar with liquorice … well you know you are experiencing something like ...read more

     | 15,405 views

    Jesus teaches us to forgive. This is important because (1) forgiveness releases us from bondage, (2) gives us the freedom to grow, and (3) leaves room for God’s work.

    We have a forgiving God. We receive His forgiveness purely on GRACE. We pay no penance; we did no work to justify forgiveness. In fact, we cannot promise we will always stay RIGHT. We are forgiven because of Christ. We forgive because we have been forgiven. So what does these verses mean? ...read more
