     | 9,754 views

    Monologue of the elderly apostle John, as he looks back at today's story and considers lessons learned on servant leadership.

    Mark 10:35-45 Bottom-up Leadership My name is John. Yes, that John, one of Jesus’ twelve, in fact, the one he loved the most. At least that’s the way I always felt. I’m in my late ’80s now. I know that’s nothing for many of you, but for my time, that’s an extremely long life. All of my battle ...read more

    Message 48 in our journey through John's gospel. This is the last in the series covering the aftermath of the resurrection and postlude to the gospel.

    Alliance Church Pastor David Welch “Now What?” John 21 John makes it very clear that Jesus said and did much more than God chose to chronicle.

    ‘Do not labour for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures unto eternal life’ (John 6:27).

    CRAVING THE BREAD OF LIFE. Psalm 78:23-29. This Psalm, the second longest in the Book, demonstrates the cycle of (i) God’s provision for His people/ (ii) their ingratitude and rebellion/ (iii) God’s punishment of them/ (iv) followed by new offers of grace.

    Advocacy And Fellowship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 4, 2015
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,400 views

    The opening twelve verses of the first Epistle of John introduce us to three main themes: fellowship, sin, and propitiation.

    ADVOCACY AND FELLOWSHIP. 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-2:2. The opening of the First Epistle of John is not unlike the famous Prologue of his Gospel (John 1:1-14). It too takes us back to “the beginning”, and introduces us to “the Word” - and it soon becomes clear that the Word is none other than ...read more

    This message looks at the first Red Letter Words in the Gospel of John, and they were a question, a question that is still valid today.

    The Palestinian sun beat down on the two friends as they listened to John exhort the crowds to repentance. For the past few weeks they had followed John everywhere he had gone, listened to his message, and watched the crowd’s reaction. At first they were sure that he was the one that the ...read more

    The uncompromising preaching of John. Bearing fruit that proves our repentance. Practical moral guidance. Redirecting Messianic expectations.

    THE TWO ADVENTS. Luke 3:7-18. In the fullness of the times (cf. Galatians 4:4), John came ‘preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins’ (Luke 3:1-3). Being 30 years old, you might expect him to be starting his priesthood in the Temple in Jerusalem (cf. Numbers 4:3), but God ...read more
