John Chapter 9 Part 2 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 13, 2013

This sermon is about Jesus being the light of the world. This is a great miracle story and right when it gets going Jesus interrupts with a two sentence insight about Himself. What an awesome interruption! We need to be interrupted more often!

Last week we saw that Jesus, being omniscient or all knowing, knew that the man was blind from birth and that his blindness not the result of personal sin or the sin of his parents. We also saw that the ...read more

Impacting Your World For Jesus Series

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 10, 2011

Jesus asks us to be both salt AND light to impact the world around us for him. We need to be both, not one or the other. It’s a challenge!

Making Jesus better known to others will complicate your life, but the rewards are out of this world! Getting married, or having children complicates things; but they’re worth it.
