A Good Question

February 19, 2023 • Scott Graham • John 5:1–18

Do you want to be healed? You need to see and believe in the crucified and risen savior before you. Do you want to be healed? You need to give Christ the right to identify and judge sin in your life. Do you want to be healed? Recognize that his love for you is passionate and powerful enough to be worth any name calling or ostracization that might come your way from others. Do you want to be healed, and receive the perfect rest God promises?

Do You Love Me?

April 30, 2023 • Gerrit Dawson • John 21:15–19

It’s a bit unnerving just to be asked, “Do you love Jesus?” Sometimes we don’t know how we feel. At any given time we might be too tired, too hungry, too distracted, too busy to find the place in us that loves Jesus. We might pass through a season of indifference to Christ. Or a season of willfulness and unrepented sin. My way not your way. And then we can’t connect to the deep place in our heart that loves the Lord.

Presence, Peace and Power

April 23, 2023 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson • John 20:19–23

Imagine Jesus standing in the midst of your life. In the moments where you are not doing anything, but only thinking about everything. He arrives. Can you see him? He is there. He smiles at you. Holds out his hands. Speaks kindly: “Peace be with you." Imagine his deep exhaling of his Spirit. As he breathes out, breathe in his air, the Holy Spirit he gives. Say as you inhale, “I receive your Spirit.” As you exhale, imagine your breath pressing his Spirit throughout your whole body. #sermon #firstpresbyterianbr #holyspirit #peacebewithyou #gospelofjohn

Everything I Ever Did

February 12, 2023 • Gerrit Dawson • John 4:15–30

How about you? Will you risk his gaze? His closeness? His desire to be with you always? Come see a man who told me everything I ever did! Surely, he is the Savior!
