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

Greater Works (John 14:12-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 19, 2022

How can we have a lifestyle, of greater works than Jesus?

This morning is going to feel a little different. There's been a few things in the back of my mind I've wanted to try to teach for a while-- and wrestle with myself-- and I just haven't taken the time. Today, I'm going to try to work through these things. The other thing ...read more

Conquer Fear (John 18:1-27) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 31, 2022

Be like Jesus, not Peter, openly, boldly, confessing the truth.

This week, we begin chapter 18. At this point, Jesus has finished encouraging his disciples, and challenging them, and warning them. He's also finished praying for them, asking his Father to take up the job of being a good shepherd to them. Now, it's time to leave the upper room. ...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

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

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

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

The Four Wise Men (In The Gospel Of John)

Contributed by Peter Baumgartle on Dec 20, 2023

The Christmas Story in the Gospel of John is far different than the account in Matthew and Luke. There is no baby, no Mary and Joseph, no angels, no shepherds. But there were four wise men.

The Gospel of John, chapter 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light ...read more

Good & Bad Traditions (John 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 23, 2025

How do we discern between good and bad traditions? Let's look at John 2.

Do believers always choose the right way? Are mandatory teetotaling and selling items at church, good or bad ideas? Which traditions, built upon Jesus, are gold or stubble? Let’s begin in John 2. Should Christians make up rules not found in the Bible, like forbidding even moderate alcohol use? Did ...read more

The Book Of Mark #57

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

In 1858, the Illinois legislature, using an obscure statute, sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote.

When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln how he felt, he said he felt, “Like the boy who stubbed his toe: I am too big to cry and too badly hurt to laugh.” (Source unknown) All of us know that feeling. Life is filled with disappointments. Most of us will do anything to keep from having ...read more
