In the name of the Living God, Father, son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Today as we gather for the first Sunday after Christmas, we also take the time to celebrate St. John the apostle and evangelist.

The Gospel Of John (Lesson 3): The Beginning Of Greater Things Series

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jun 24, 2020

The miraculous and revelatory are a byproduct of following Jesus. The greatest miracle is knowledge of Him and ourselves.

The Beginning of Greater Things Introduction: God is a miracle-working God. The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, and today, and forever. When we follow close to Him, miracles are an everyday occurrence. The disciples followed Jesus, looking for a Messiah and Saviour, but there ...read more

"An Interview With An Invalid” John 5:1-17 Series

Contributed by Paris Lee Smith, Sr. Mdiv on Jan 5, 2013

"This is a fresh approach to this remarkable encounter between a brother trying to get in a place where Jesus is telling him to quickly get away from!"

In the Gospel of John, there is perhaps one of the most interesting miracles to have ever taken place in the holy writ. In chapter five of his Gospel is the main miracle of the man who had been sitting at the Pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight long years. Allow our creative imagination the ...read more

Behold, what manner of love The Father hath bestowed upon us, Whole volumes might be written about this without exhausting the extraordinary subject contained in them, namely, the love of God to (for) man.

Jesus-SECOND COMING “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1John: 3:2) Text, 1 John Chapter 3 (KJV) 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath ...read more

Getting Jesus Right (John 1:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 1, 2022

Who is Jesus, fully, really?

Everything for humans depends on getting Jesus right. We have to understand who Jesus is. What he came for. What he accomplished. And what he wants. If we get this wrong, we end up outside of God's kingdom, looking in. We end up darkness. We perish. But if we get all of this right, and ...read more

Point People To Jesus (John 1:19-28) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2022

John the Baptist understands that Jesus is important, and he is not. His sole job, is to point people to Jesus.

Last week, in John 1:1-18, AJ (Author of John) started his gospel by focusing on 2 people, telling us who they are, and what they came to do. The first, and easily more important, is Jesus. Jesus is the Word become flesh. He is the preexistent one. He is Life. He is Light. He is God. To ...read more

Come And See Jesus (John 1:43-51) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

Nathaniel is open-minded enough to come see Jesus for himself, and overcomes his initial skepticism. This makes him the ideal Israelite. Also, Jesus is not a ladder. Angels come "to" Jesus, not "upon" him.

This week, starting in John 1:43, we find ourselves on day 4. Let's just start there: (43) On the next day, he (Jesus) wished to depart to Galilee, and he finds Philip, and Jesus says to him, "Follow me." Already in the gospel of John, we've seen a number of people take the ...read more

Jesus Is A Better Temple (John 2:12-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 8, 2022

Jesus is a temple, who replaces Judaism's temple. A grace "in place of" grace (John 1:16, see NIV)

Let's begin this morning, by simply rereading last week's passage, starting at John 2:1: (2:1) And on the third day, a wedding, there w as in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. (2) Now, Jesus was also invited, with his disciples, to the wedding, (3) and when the wine ...read more

Who Is God Seeking? (John 4:16-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 15, 2022

The answer: People who worship, in the Spirit (not "spirit") and in the truth.

Let's start this morning by rereading last week's passage, starting from John 4:1: (4:1) Then, when Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus, many more disciples he is making and baptizing than John-- although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples-- (3) he left ...read more

What If The Fields Are White? (John 4:27-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

If they are, we need to be far more bold, in intentional, about pointing people to Jesus. Bonus discussion of how Greek imperfect verbs work.

Today's message was a little short, so I'm going to try to cheat a little at the start, and explain something that may open up the Bible to you in really unexpected ways. And then, I'll try to show you a little how it works, and how cool this is, as I go through today's passage. ...read more

Believing In Jesus Is Not Enough (John 8:12-59) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

In John, there are a cluster of verbs Jesus wants from us, to be full disciples, and we have to hold them all together. If we focus too hard on "believing," we will misunderstand Jesus, and what he wants.

Last week, we read just two verses from John 8, spending the rest of our time in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 13. I scratched my itch to get back to the OT, and I'm ready to take another shot at this. I say that, but this is probably the most depressing chapter (I hope!) in the entire gospel of ...read more

Jesus Is The Better Shepherd (John 10:1-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 10, 2022

John's readers who have chosen to hear Jesus, and follow him, and become part of his flock, have upgraded their shepherd. Jesus is a better shepherd than the Pharisees.

Let's start today by simply reading John 10:1: (1) Truly, truly, I say to you, the one not entering through the gate/door into the inner courtyard of the sheep, but going up from some other place-- that one, a thief, he is, and a robber. When we read this, we should notice something, ...read more
