Who Do You Want To Be? (John 20:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

We see three different responses to Jesus' resurrection. And those three force us think about how we should respond to the reality that Jesus has risen, and ascended.

Let's start today by reading from 1 Corinthians 15 (NRSV): 15 Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters,[a] of the good news[b] that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, 2 through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

Jesus gives us peace, and sends us out with the Holy Spirit, empowered to forgive sins.

Let's start by reading last week's passage, John 20:1-18: (1) Now, on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene comes early in the morning, dark still being, to the tomb, and she sees the stone having been taken away from the tomb.

Will You Stay Or Will You Go Now? (John 6:60-71) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022

Chapter 6 has moved from huge crowds trying to make Jesus king, down to only 12. It's all falling apart, maybe. The question is, will you join the Judeans, and walk away from Jesus, or abide with Christ?

This week, we will make our final push to get through John 6. We were supposed to read this entire chapter at once, as a single story. But instead, it took me four weeks. Let's start this morning, one last time, at John 6:22. This picks up our story after Jesus fed the 5,000 people, and ...read more

Power Evangelism Explained (John 11:1-54, Part 2) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 21, 2022

How did Jesus do his signs, and how were the disciples able to do the signs? And what can we learn from this?

The last few weeks, I've been pushing the idea that God will still do signs, and wonders, and healings through us, as Jesus works in us, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I think God is far more willing to do great things in the world through us than we realize. I think the weakness, and ...read more

Three Marks Of True Disciples (John 11:55-12:11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 22, 2022

Martha, Lazarus, and Mary each model a discipleship verb. Together, they paint a picture of a true disciple.

Two weeks ago, everything changed in the gospel of John. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, in the full sight of a large group of Judeans. And when the Judeans saw this, "many" gave their allegiance to Jesus. In an instant, they moved from being stubborn, and hard-hearted, and ...read more

John's Story 3 (God's Love) Series

Contributed by Steve Meenho Kang on Dec 17, 2022

John was one of the original Twelve Disciples of Jesus. He spent more than three years with Jesus. He realized why Jesus came. And He wrote the reason why Jesus came in his gospel. In John 3:16-17, he said that God sent Jesus into this world to love us. This is why we must celebrate His birth.
