The Hour Has Come

June 30, 2024 • Pastor Phil Burdoin • John 12:20–36

Jesus had previously mentioned that He had “other sheep”, “not of this pen.” He was referring to the gentiles. Now here in this week's passage we see that “some Greeks” were seeking Jesus and wanted to hear from Him. Immediately after that, Jesus says that His “hour has come.” We see that all along Jesus has had a plan to redeem the whole world not just the Jewish nation. Also Jesus was deeply troubled at the thought of bearing the weight of mankind’s sin. But he stood firm in His resolve to complete his mission and become the perfect sacrifice for sin.

Jesus Reinstates Peter

September 1, 2024 • Pastor Phil Burdoin • John 21:1–17

Every great story has an epilogue. This is the epilogue to John’s great eyewitness account to Jesus’ ministry, death, and resurrection. In it, he shares a great story of forgiveness. Peter had done the unthinkable. After telling Jesus he was ready to die for him he swore three times to other people he never even knew Jesus. Peter was desperate for forgiveness and reconciliation and Jesus was more that willing to offer it. John sets out on a quest to share with the world that Jesus was God’s one and only son, and the only true messiah. He starts with a thesis statement and uses the entire book to prove it is correct. It is a great book to share with our friends and family that they too may also believe. Jesus Reinstates Peter

Jesus is Raised to Life

August 18, 2024 • Justin Scarberry • John 20

Jesus had predicted his death and his resurrection several times in the Gospel of John and it happened exactley as he said it would. John was an eyewitness to all of the things written in this book. Most importantly he was an eyewitness that first morning and saw the empty tomb. He also saw that evening in the flesh. Some of Jesus’ first words to his disciples after the resurrection were “peace be with you.” How can we experience peace in this world amongst so much chaos? Jesus is Raised to Life

Jesus Crucified

August 11, 2024 • Pastor Phil Burdoin • John 19:23–39

Jesus speaks several things here on the cross, each one with significant meaning a purpose behind it. John, the author of this gospel, was an eyewitness to these things. He was there at the cross and saw the spear that was thrust into Jesus’ side. He tells you this for two reasons; that you may know for certain that Jesus was dead not passed out. And that you may believe he is the son of God. Two of the Jewish leaders did believe. They did recognize Jesus as the messiah. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus are ready to pledge their public believe in Jesus. Jesus Crucified
