SERMON SUMMARY John 4:46–54 We are in the midst of a series of messages from the book of John where we are trying to understand who Jesus is and why he came to earth. We are doing that by looking at what John calls the miraculous signs of Jesus. Jesus’ signs were symbols of who…
SERMON SUMMARY John 2:1-11 We are in the middle of a series of messages that looks at some of Jesus’ words and works as recorded for us in John’s gospel. Today we will be looking at one of his miracles, which the book of John refers to as “signs.” They pointed to who Jesus was…
SERMON SUMMARY Gethsemane is really a special place. It was there that Judas betrayed Jesus. It was there that Jesus decided to lay down his life for you and me, telling his Father: “If it is possible, let this cup pass from me.” In that “cup” was everything that Jesus hated—sin. And yet he said,…
SERMON SUMMARY Luke 22:31-53 Jesus’ “passion” (ie, his “suffering”—beginning in the garden of Gethsemane and concluding with his crucifixion) was a time of great temptation, both for Jesus and for his disciples. Jesus passed his test with flying colors; his disciples—not so much. Truth is all Christ’s followers fail—and that’s why the cross is necessary. …
SERMON SUMMARY John 1:1-14 For the next two months we’re going to look at the words and works of Jesus as presented in the Gospel of John. John 1:1-4 makes a radical claim. In v. 5-11 that claim is rejected, and v. 12-14 answer the objections to that amazing claim. CLAIMS about the “Word of…
SERMON SUMMARY Philippians 4:13 Last week we discussed how our awe of God should be greater than our awe of our past mistakes or our present or future challenges. This week, we will see how Moses lived the rest of his life according to a New Testament principle that we briefly touched on last week.…
SERMON SUMMARY Exodus 3 Last week we began a brand new series about the life of Moses. We covered the story of Moses’ birth and how, through God’s provision, he became a part of Pharaoh’s family, inadvertently rescued by Pharaoh’s daughter. At some point during his upbringing, he was made aware that he was in…
SERMON SUMMARY Hebrews 11:23–27 APPLICATION / CHALLENGE Today we are beginning a new series on an individual who has impacted all of us—Moses. He hand-delivered the Ten Commandments, wrote the first five books of the Bible, and emancipated the Jewish people from slavery! Despite all that he accomplished, Moses was far from perfect. He had…
SERMON SUMMARY Today’s message marks the end of a seven part series that we have entitled, “Growing God’s Way.” The question we have tried to answer in this series is this: How do we become more like Christ? First, Jesus said, “You must be born again.” Salvation sets the needed spiritual foundation. To grow in…
SERMON SUMMARY John 13:1-17 As Christ-followers, our destination is to become more like Jesus Christ. We really can become more like our savior as we learn to practice the spiritual disciplines or habits that Jesus himself practiced and which he taught to his disciples. One of these spiritual disciplines is the habit of service. When…
