Eternal Life - Turner Christian Church

The True Vine

May 14, 2023 • Matt Holmes • John 15:1–17

In John 10 Jesus confronts the Pharisees in Jerusalem who have been warning the people not to follow Jesus. Jesus compares his own message with that of the Pharisees, arguing that there is a huge difference in their paths--and where they will end up. How do we find eternal life in a pluralistic world, with so many paths and so many shepherds? How do we find the Good Shepherd?

The Bread of Life

April 30, 2023 • Matt Holmes • John 6:25–68

In John 6, Jesus talks with a crowd who asks him for bread. Jesus responds by offering them a different kind of bread--himself. What does Jesus mean when he calls himself the Bread of Life? What does it mean to eat that bread? And how can this spiritual bread satisfy people who are looking for something to eat?

Living Water

April 23, 2023 • Matt Holmes • John 4:1–42

In John 4, Jesus speaks with a woman who is working hard to draw water from a well. He promises her that he can maker her into a "spring of living water" that will never be thirsty again/ What does that promise mean? And how does it change the life of a woman who is struggling just to live and be accepted in her community?

What is Eternal Life

April 16, 2023 • Matt Holmes • John 2:23—3:15

In the Gospel of John Jesus promises to give his people "life to the full." What does this eternal life look like? How does it help us to get through our everyday life? How does it help us to love our neighbors?
