    Men still reject Jesus’ claim to be equal with God. So we are going to look at six reasons that Jesus gave for man’s rejection of Him.

    Last week look in detail at five witnesses that Jesus used to prove His authority and power. But men still reject Jesus’ claim to be equal with God. So tonight we are going to study John 5:40-47 and look at six reasons that Jesus gave for man’s rejection of Him. READ 40-41. ...read more

    A message that seeks to encourage believers to have faith in Christ, and not faith in faith or faith in themselves.

    JOHN 5:39-47 FAITH THAT FAILS “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

    Openness to God precedes the reception of Scripture truth. We are not to guide Scriptures, they are to guide us...to God. We are not to make Scriptures say what we think or want them to say, but let them say what God desires to reveal.

    JOHN 5: 39-47 THE WITNESS OF THE SCRIPTURES [Luke 24: 25-27, 44-49 / Luke 16: 19-31] The previous passage tried to teach us that openness to belief must precede the reception of truth. Now John affirms that openness to God precedes the reception ...read more

    God has given us the one message we are to preach and teach and live and give. It is the gospel.

    Let’s turn in our Bibles to John chapter 5. We’ve been in this chapter now for a full month as we work our way through the gospel of John. Let’s pray together: Father in Heaven, we have come here today hoping to meet with You, longing to be in Your presence, desiring to hear from You. “As the ...read more

    Effective Christianity

    Why is Christianity in America declining? Why are professions of faith and baptisms on the decline. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. Church is not a place we go or something we do it is God's people doing His will.

    I have a very serious question to start us off with this morning. Why is Christianity on the decline here in America? I am sure there are probably as many answers as there are people. • Could it be because Christianity is competing with so many other religions? • Could it be because ...read more

    You might want to look up the word 'sycophant' in a dictionary. It well describes Jesus' opponents in this passage

    The Jews had a problem with Jesus healing the cripple by the pool on the Sabbath. Jesus used the opportunity to try to show them that he was the real deal; and quite frankly-they were not.

    THE VALIDITY OF JESUS John 5:16-47 1) Like Father, like Son (vs. 16-30). • Jesus is equal to the Father (vs. 16-18). Vs. 16-17-God created in six days and rested on the seventh.

     | 15,103 views

    Who is Jesus to you? Is He just a moral teacher? Is He just a storybook character? Throughout John chapter 5, Jesus claimed to be God. And in today’s passage, He brings four witnesses to the stand to corroborate His testimony.
