John: When Heaven Came Down, Vol. 4
Our teaching series from John 14-18.
Introducing the Holy Spirit
September 11, 1994 • Stephen Davey • John 14:16–22
Perhaps His most familiar name is "The Comforter," but the Holy Spirit does so much more for the believer than just ease our sorrows. In this in-depth study Stephen gives us incredible insight into the most mysterious member of the Godhead.
Producing Spiritual Fruit is Impossible
September 18, 1994 • Stephen Davey • John 15:1–11
In this message Stephen introduces us to one of Scripture's most famous analogies: the analogy of the Vine and the Branches. But to fully understand the significance of this analogy, we'll need to be armed with sound principles of interpretation. Here is Stephen to give them to us.
Our Prize of Friendship
October 9, 1994 • Stephen Davey • John 15:12–17
In John 15 Jesus makes a remarkable statement to all of us who believe in Him for salvation. He calls us friends! Do you know what that means? Do you know the implications that holds for us -- both now and eternally? In this message Stephen reminds you.
The Promise of Suffering
October 16, 1994 • Stephen Davey • John 15:18–27
God gave us so many amazing promises in Scripture that pertain not only to life in heaven but also to life on earth. But at least one of those promises isn't so easy to swallow. In John 15 Jesus promises that everyone who desires to live a godly life will suffer persecution. Are you suffering persecution today? If so, you're living the life God intends for you to live.
The REAL Lord's Prayer
November 13, 1994 • Stephen Davey • John 17:1–26
If Jesus were to pray for you personally, what do you think He would pray for? Would He ask God to give you more money? A bigger house? A better job? No. Jesus did pray for us in John 17 and those materialistic requests weren't anywhere on the list. Join Stephen in this message to find out what did make the list.
A Tribute to the Lamb - Betrayed!
November 20, 1994 • Stephen Davey • John 18:1–11
The hour has come for which Christ had fortold. He will face betrayal, false charges, cruel beatings, humiliating scorn, and a merciless crucifixion. But that's not the most shocking part. The most shocking part is that He will do it all for us!
A Tribute to the Lamb - Guilty!
December 11, 1994 • Stephen Davey • John 18:1–24, Matthew 26:57–68
History is sprinkled with the intriguing stories indictments, acquittals, and verdicts. But the trial of Jesus Christ stands head and shoulders above all the others. It's the only trial where God is judged by man . . . and man finds Him guilty!
And the Rooster Crowed . . .
January 8, 1995 • Stephen Davey • John 18:15–27
Why was Peter's denial of Christ recorded for us in Scripture? It must have broken his heart to consistently be remembered by Christians everywhere with that particular failure. But God gave us the account so that we could see in such a memorable way just how gracious He is. We've all denied Him at times . . . but He will never deny us.
The People's Choice
January 15, 1995 • Stephen Davey • John 18:38–40
Jesus or Barabbas? The Messiah or the murderer? That's the choice Pilate gave the Jews . . . and their decision shocked him. But in this message Stephen shows us why their decision is not so shocking. In a fallen world, Barabbas was "and always will be "the people's choice.
