Walk By Faith By Pastor John Mateos Ong

Contributed by John Ong on Dec 5, 2017

As the Bible said in Deuteronomy 7:9, He keeps His covenant of love to thousands of generation for those who love and keep his commandments. So if we strive to keep our faith to Him, if we walk by faith with Him, we will be more like Him each day.

Take a moment to imagine if God was like some of the world’s worst leaders, those who killed someone that doesn’t obey them or their program. Can we just imagine if God was like Hitler who killed almost all of the Jews, or like Mao Tse Tung who does not only manipulated and tricked his people just ...read more

“the Coming Of Christ In John” Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Sep 23, 2015

The word "come" in the New Testament is a very important word and takes on expanded meaning when referring to the Kingdom of God and the appearance of Jesus Christ as the Word who came from Heaven.

“The Coming of Christ in John” Did you ever notice how important little words are? Many times we might throw out “big two dollar words” with the intention of impressing people, but the “little words” are every bit as important as the “big impressive ...read more

The Little Girl That Offered The Head Of John The Baptist

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Oct 8, 2015

To show that we are not to be prompted by evil instruction but by godly instruction from the WORD of GOD, inspired and led by the HOLY SPIRIT. 1 Timothy 6:3-4 (Amplified Bible) But if anyone teaches otherwise and does not assent to the sound and wholeso

I. EXORDIUM: Where do you receive instruction from? GOD. His WORDS, the HOLY SPIRIT as prompted by the Fear of the LORD.

A Redemption Story (John 19:38-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

Nicodemus overcomes his fear, and the darkness, to courageously, openly, come to Jesus. A true disciple, is an open disciple.

This morning's sermon is going to have a different feel. The actual passage we are reading is only five verses. But these five verses build on a few other passages in the Gospel of John. And what these verses will help us do, is get a sense of the book as a whole. I'm hoping, after this ...read more

Believe In Jesus (John 20:24-31) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 21, 2022

The goal of the gospel: step up, and be strengthened in your faith. Here, Jesus shows kindness to Thomas, and gives him what he needs to come to full "belief."

Let's start today by rereading last week's passage. John 20:19-22. This is the moment Jesus first reveals himself to all his disciples after rising from the dead: (19) Then, when it was evening on that day-- the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples ...read more

I’m going to present to you, as a present, my gift, or better said God’s gift to you, on the Sunday before Christmas, what would be considered the greatest verse, most widely read and communicated verse in the bible… John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that ...read more

In Defense Of Jesus (John 5:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 22, 2022

Jesus isn't a sinner, making himself equal to God. He's God's faithful son, doing just as his Father has shown him, doing the job the Father gave him to do.

I started this series by saying that everything in life depends on getting Jesus right. So far in the book of John, we've read about how Jesus is the lamb of God, the preexistent one, the savior of the world. He is also God. Now, how can Jesus be God, and the Father be God? Are there two ...read more

I Am’s Of Christ In The Gospel Of John!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jun 12, 2022

In this sermon outline we point out some of what Jesus is to us. We find Moses was told by God that He was the great I AM IN Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 1

There Are No Closet Christians (John 7:1-52) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 3, 2022

Nicodemus tries to thread the needle, and secretly follow Jesus. This doesn't work. If you are silent about Jesus, you haven't really "come to" him.

This morning, we find ourselves (somehow) in John 7. Throughout the gospel of John, we have found people confronted with one basic choice-- will they give their allegiance to Jesus, or not? Some people, hearing Jesus' words, and learning, have come to place their trust in Jesus. ...read more

Who Was John The Baptist? (Luke, Part 2) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 3, 2022

The calling of John the Baptist is direct: Repent (turn) and receive. This appears to be tough challenge today … but it’s no different than it was in AD 29!!!

Introduction / Recap - We know that Luke was a physician – helped Paul throughout his ministry -- He was most likely a Gentile from Antioch (Syria) addressing a Gentile audience - Examining the language of the text indicates that he was well educated -- EX: Familiar with Greek; well versed in ...read more

The emphasis on Walking in Truth and Love

February 26, 2022 Today we are combining 2nd and 3rd JOHN and JUDE. Partly because they are short letters, but also because they share a common thread – All three congregations were facing a crisis. The believers were in danger from other “Christians”, whose only goal was to, deceive, ...read more

Jesus, John, And Joy: Listening To The Right Prophet

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Dec 22, 2019

Sermon for Advent 3, year C. John the Baptist sent his disciples to Jesus wanting to know why Jesus allowed him to remain in jail. Jesus quoted the prophet Isaiah back to him, and said, "rejoice."

Preparing for 2020 John, Jesus, and Joy: Listening to the right prophet. I do not wear pink very often (unless I lose a bet, like today…). But, there is one service in the church year where the priest can wear pink vestments. Rose Sunday, or the Sunday of Joy… Today. I didn’t want to wear ...read more

Preparing For Christmas, John's Style

Contributed by Mari Larson on Dec 17, 2018

Preparing for Christmas beyond decorating trees and writing cards.

I have done it, and I cannot undo it. I have equated social media with that/this wild-eyed picture of John the Baptist. “You brood of vipers.” Polarizing. Negative. Scary, even. I hear some of you giggling, and I see you smiling. You know what I’m talking about. There’s a lot of speaking ...read more

Beware The Shadows (John 13:21-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 16, 2022

A practical call to avoid falling away. Don't live in sin-- it opens the door to Satan.

Let's start today by simply rereading from last week's passage, John 13:1-20. Our story today directly builds on these verses, and the easiest way back into John 13 is through a reminder of where we've been. John 13:1: (1) Now, before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that ...read more
