Sermons on John 1:3-5:

The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2023

The presence and personal interest of God in the affairs of His creation is evident to those who have eyes to see (Romans 1:18-22). He gives us proof of His existence, regardless of the world's blindness to the obvious.

As the days draw nearer to the promised return of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-15), we are told in Scripture that humanity will not welcome Him with open arms, but will instead grow more hateful towards Him, doing everything possible to resist His ...read more

Genesis 1:1 - The Scientific Brilliance Of Our Sovereign Lord

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 1, 2023

This is a revision of a sermon I posted nearly two years ago that presented the story of creation from a scientific viewpoint. The wonder of creation is a witness to God's holiness, majesty, power, and glory.

"IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH" (Genesis 1:1). I want you to consider for a moment how solemn, awesome, powerful, and wondrous this statement is, for it presents the work, thought, and majesty of Almighty God. Some of you reading this might be thinking, ...read more

Another Essential Christmas

Contributed by John Huyser on Jan 3, 2023

Compared to the other Gospels, John's version of the Christmas story is far more cosmic in scope and captures much of the Old Testament anticipation.

By the time December 25, Christmas Day, rolls around, Christmas Day, the finish line is in sight. Except this year, a well-timed blizzard forced us to pause. The ...read more

Prologue Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jan 9, 2023

John's introduction to his Gospel beautifully and artfully lays the foundation for the rest of his book as he provides insight into the nature, work and witness of the Word - Jesus Christ!

What is a prologue? If we were to take that apart, it divides neatly into two words pro- meaning before logos - meaning word or saying So, in a very real sense, a prologue is a word that happens beforehand - a fore-word Composers, Filmmakers, and Authors alike have utilized preludes, ...read more

A torch, in modern-day technology, is defined as a portable, battery-powered electric lamp.

George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright and critic once remarked: “Life is no brief candle to me.
