Jesus Is The Bread Of Life

Contributed by David Mcnally on Jul 21, 2012

According to Calvin the Lord's Supper is a mere Memorial Meal and Jesus cannot come to us because He is in heaven at the right side of the Father, but John 6 and the words spoken at the Last Supper and Paul in 1st Corinthians 11 point that it is more than

John 6:35-6:51 Jesus is the Bread of Life Let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, through the power of your Holy Spirit, open our hearts and minds to the proclamation of your Word, that we might be fed and nourished in faith.

The Apostle John records for us this killer storm and the riders who will bring it as he witnesses Jesus opening up of the first four seals. In sermon we'll look at the 2nd through 4th seal, which are War, Famine, and Death.

The Book of Revelation “War, Famine, and Death” Revelation 6:3-8 Whenever I think of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse the song by the Doors always pops into my head that these four horsemen are the Riders on the Storm. As I listen to what’s being said over the airways, many ...read more

Our Fourfold Union With Christ

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 19, 2020

To me, John 15, is one of the richest chapters in the Bible. It seems like you can study and study it and never get out all there is there to have. It shows what is my possession in Christ. What is my responsibility in Him? What is His responsibility to me?

Notice there is four names that He gives to us that follow Him. 1. Ye are the branches, verse 5 2. Ye are my friends, verse 14 3. Ye are my servants, verse 20 4. Ye are my witnesses, verse 27 So, in John 15, we have four titles, four descriptions of us who follow Christ. We are branches, we are ...read more

Looking Closer At The Triumphal Entry Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Mar 2, 2020

This is the 37th sermon in a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we examine the crowds that shouted Hosanna during the Triumphal Entry, but then later demanded that Jesus be crucified, and we discuss what led to this, and how true faith differs from this.

Looking Closer at the Triumphal Entry (John Part 37) Text: John 12:9-19 We’re continuing on with John’s Gospel this morning, and we’re looking at a text that usually gets addressed on Palm Sunday; we call it the Triumphal Entry.

Jesus In Today's World

Contributed by Travis Voeltz on Apr 6, 2021

Many know the history of the Resurrection by this point in their lives… Jesus was denied, handed over to be crucified (John 19:16), beaten, shamed, clothes divided, bearing His own cross (Jn 19:17), and ultimately, they crucified Him (Jn 19:18).

The Order Of Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The vision God gave John of the New Jerusalem is a vision of precise and exquisite order. Pythagours said, everything can be described in numbers. That was a profound insight, for numbers are the ultimate symbol of order. God is the great mathematician, and everything He has made has a number.

In the sixth century B. C. a boy by the name of Pythagorus grew up with his father, who was a gem-engraver. He noticed that gemstones came in regular geometric shapes. The beryl was a hexagon, the garnet was a 12 sided crystal, and each gem had it's own unique order. This observation was the ...read more

The New Commission (Updated) Pentecost Sunday June 8, 2025

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 17, 2021

In today’s text Jesus is talking to His disciples about what will happen in the future. In fact, John 14 -17 is what some refer to as the “Farewell Discourse”. Jesus is talking to them about the connection to obedience and love and how that will be important in their work as disciples.

John 14:15 – 21 (NRSV)   15 “If you love me, you will keep[a] my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[b] to be with you forever. 17 This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither ...read more

What Do You Seek? Gifts Or Giver? Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Aug 19, 2019

This is the 20th sermon in a series we've been doing on John's Gospel. In this sermon we focus on seeking Jesus as He is the greatest treasure, the only meaningful gift, not necessarily what He gives us, but He, Himself.

What do you seek: The gifts or the Giver?

That He Might Have Preeminence In All Things Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 15, 2018

The false teachers of Colossae could never give Jesus Christ the place of preeminence; for, according to their philosophy, Jesus Christ was one of many “emanations” from God. He was not the only way to God (John 14:6); rather, He was but one rung . . .
