    A Tribute To John

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 15, 2000
    based on 128 ratings
     | 22,349 views

    John the Baptist pays tribute to Jesus; and in recording his words, John the Apostle pays tribute to him.

    This portion of John’s gospel, when seen in context with surrounding narrative, at first may appear out of place. John has documented Jesus’ discourse with the Pharisee, Nicodemus, and early in the next chapter he records His conversation with the Samaritan woman by Jacob’s well near Sychar. ...read more

    Regardless of what you may think of yourself, you are having an impact on someone else’ life.

    BROKEN TO BE MADE WHOLE Key Verse: John 3:30 “He must decrease, and I must decrease.” Opening: We face a new year that will be different than any other. For most people, that is. Some folks expect and are excited about 2003. Others are not. God has convinced and challenged many of you that ...read more

    Faith is the essential character trait God wants to work into your life, for it connects you to God in ways that change you from the inside into a different person.

    SE112402 CHARACTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION 4. Faith In CS Lewis’s book, Mere Christianity, a classic work on Christian basics, he spells out the fact that when the Bible mentions faith it talks about it on two levels. BELIEF What faith means in the first sense is what most people who are not ...read more

    This sermon sets forth a call to humility using a simple statement made by John the Baptist.

    Text: "He must increase, but I must decrease -- He must grow more prominent, I must grow less so." John 3:30 (The Amplified Bible) All of us by now have heard the remarkable story of Todd Beamer. He was the man who led the attack on the terrorists, who had hijacked United’s Flight 93. He is now ...read more

    3rd message of 5 on John 3-4. Getting What God Gives is important if you are going to become a faithful servant of Christ. It’s not easy but it is a critical lesson.

    From Mortal to Immortal A Study of John 3-4 We are all Control Freaks Control is a real issue for all of us. Of course, we can all think of someone else who is more of a control freak than we are. Like the mother who calls to tell you she has arranged for you to meet yet another wonderful ...read more

    Surrender to the Lordship of Christ brings fulfillment in life.

    "Becoming Less Prominent" Jn. 3:22-30 Intro: In John 3 we find John the Baptizer responding to his disciples. They have brought word that Jesus was baptizing people left and right.

     | 2,808 views

    As ministers together in the gospel of Christ, if we fall into arguing amongst ourselves, we have lost focus and we are fighting the wrong enemy. We are all on the same team. Sometimes small things need to be let go in favor of confronting larger issues.

    As we have followed the new disciples of Jesus, we have seen a number of important lessons taught and demonstrated. These early lessons are from the book of John: • Jesus changes your perspective • Jesus gains your faith as a friend • Jesus spends time with family • Jesus introduces us to ...read more

    The Greatness of John the Baptist

    Introduction What marks people out as being great? Power, wealth, Courage, humility, success. We see this morning that John was a great man. He was humble, he had great joy and he was courageous enough to give a message of justice and judgement that was certainly not palatable to his hearers ...read more

    Look to Jesus

    In April 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with numerous other skydivers and filmed the group as they fell and opened their parachutes. On the film shown on the TV, as the final skydiver opened his chute, the picture went berserk. ...read more

    2nd in the series "Love Notes: A Letter from John." About living a life of love and holiness and seeking forgiveness when you fail.

    President Calvin Coolidge went to church, and afterwards was asked by a friend what the minister spoke on. “He preached on sin.” The friend asked what the preacher had to say about sin, and was told, “He’s against it.”... That’s sort of the bottom line of today’s message—that sin has no place in ...read more

    What is success? What does it mean to you this morning to live a successful life? If you asked 10 people you would most likely get 10 different answers.

    This sermon examines the life of John the Baptist as a model of servanthood and challenges the listener to look for those qualities in himself.

    Introduction: One of the features of the Bible that I love is how people basically haven’t changed much in the past 6,000 years. Jn 3 shows that well. First, open to Mk 9:33ff, a scene 2 years later. Just kind follow along with me there. The disciples are on the road to Capernaum, having an ...read more

    A man comes to Jesus with an open heart and mind. The Lord reveals to him some of the most amazing truths found in the Bible. Is it time you had a good, honest, talk with God?

    Do you ever look for something so hard that you can’t find it? Maybe it’s just my age kicking in but sometimes I’ll lose something in the most obvious place possible. I think so hard about where I put it that I forget to look in the most likely place. I figure that I would have remembered easily if ...read more
