    "I Thirst" Series

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 9, 2003
    based on 246 ratings
     | 136,501 views

    "I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there was at least three reasons why God inspired to John to record that statment. This sermons looks at those three reasons.

    Last week our fourth statement from the cross that we looked at was perhaps the most agonizing statement of all. I believe as Christ took on the sins of the world, that sin that was upon Him separated Him from His Father and in that time of spiritual agony He cried out, “My God, my God, why ...read more

    Seeing The Word Of Life Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 17, 2016
     | 6,903 views

    The Word of Life is 1) Unchangeable (1 John 1:1a), 2) Historical (1 John 1:1b–2a), 3) Communicable (1 John 1:2b–3a), 4) Relational (1 John 1:3b), and 5) Joyful (1 John 1:4).

    We live in an era that looks with suspicion on any type of certainty or conviction about the truth. Our society has abandoned the idea of absolutes, choosing instead to arbitrarily grant equal validity to every opinion and philosophical musing. Sadly, today’s church, influenced by the ...read more

    John's sacramental vision was translated into a church building with two centers--a center of the Word and a center of Eucharistic celebration

    Feast of St. John Dec 27 2010 Spirit of the Liturgy It is very appropriate to be preaching on the Spirit of the Liturgy on the Feast of St. John, because both the letters and the Gospel of John are so sacramental. One useful definition of sacrament is Christ touching us through sacred signs. Our ...read more
