The Gospel of John
Spirit & Truth
Troubled Hearts Comforted
June 16, 2024 • Tyler Payne • John 14:1–14
Drawing from John 14:1-14, we will explore how Jesus comforts our troubled hearts in light of life's circumstances. This text will remind us of the profound promises of Christ, encouraging us to trust in God even in our darkest moments, and to live empowered by the Spirit in anticipation of the glorious future He has prepared for us.
His Glory, Our Love
June 9, 2024 • Jerod Martin • John 13:31–38
Have you ever been hit with unexpected life-changing news, leaving you in shock as everything around you seems to pause? Imagine the disciples' feelings in John 13:31-38 when Jesus, after their last supper together, tells them they can no longer follow Him. These men gave up everything to follow Jesus, and now He prepares them for His departure, revealing how they should live.
Lowly Service for Exalted Joy
May 26, 2024 • Justin Rahmes • John 13:1–20
As Jesus enters the last supper with His disciples, He begins His final teachings before His death and resurrection. The first lesson? Be a humble servant to one another. This serving posture is what lays the ground work for all of the Christian life.
Revealed, Rejected, Redeemed
May 19, 2024 • Justin Rahmes • John 12:37–50
In this sermon we close out the public ministry of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Before he moves into the final moments before Jesus’ crucifixion, John makes a point to tell us about the rejection of Jesus as the Messiah, even though He had been revealed through powerful signs and truth-filled preaching. Work through the text with us as we discover how God was sovereign in their rejection of Jesus, while in that same sovereignty brought redemption through Him.
Given, Kept, & Sent
March 24, 2024 • Justin Rahmes • John 17
Right before Jesus concluded his last Passover meal with his disciples, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and prayed. This prayer is known as the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus, because of the way he mediates for his people, before his Father. In this Sermon, we work to uncover the essential truths of this prayer and how it shows us the eternal love of God for his Son and for his people.
Costly Worship
March 17, 2024 • Justin Rahmes • John 12:1–11
Too often our lives are filled with cheap pursuits that steal from the worship of God that He deserves… and not just worship that He deserves, but worship that will actually satisfy us as His people. Our worship of Him is simultaneous all deserving and fully satisfying. In this sermon we study the story of Mary’s costly worship and how her actions still impact us today.
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
March 3, 2024 • Justin Rahmes • John 11:17–44
Jesus Wept is the shortest verse in the entire Bible. These two words hold so much weight into knowing and understanding the heart of Jesus for his people. A heart that breaks for their despairing state and a heart that moves to redeem and restore the ones he loves. In this sermon we uncover the heart of Jesus in the resurrection of hs friend Lazarus.
Glory First and Goodness Always
February 25, 2024 • Jordan Boyd • John 11:1–16
Have you ever wondered why God doesn't seem to answer your prayers? Or why He allows loved ones to get sick, experience deep suffering, and maybe even die? If we're honest, these situations sometimes lead us to question if God really loves us. In this sermon we unpack the miraculous story of Lazarus, as we aim to discover the connection between God's Glory and our Good, even in difficult times.
