A Sheep Gate, A Pool and Walkways

John 5:1-18

August 28, 2022 • John 5:1–18

This is a taste of the power in the resurrection. The implications are huge for the diseases and disabilities that we deal with all the time. Jesus walked into a huge group of debilitated people and heals one man — just one. And disappears before that man can know who He was. He leaves hundreds behind unhealed. Then he finds the man in a less conspicuous place and puts all the focus on holiness. Wow!

Treasure That Dominates Our Heart

October 16, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • John 6:22–29

Jesus offers himself to us as the food that is eternal. No amount of working for God can get us to eternity. He is free. He does the work needed on the cross. All we can do is eat, or, believe, and live. And this becomes the treasure that dominates our heart, Jesus. He changes everything.

Bread in the Boat

October 9, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • John 6:16–29

John tells this short story of Jesus’ walking on the water to clarify something in the story about the loaves and fish. Jesus does another miracle but it is for His disciples. He shows them that in the dark, in the storm will He walk on water to be with them. And when they take Him into their boat, they feel secure and at peace.

Trying to Feed on the Wrong Thing

October 2, 2022 • Pastor Ben Pitney • John 6:1–15

In this miracle of taking five loaves, a few fish, and feeding over five thousand people, Jesus opens up a window about who He is. He doesn’t do this so we might get excited about getting what we want, but that we might see that he is better than anything we ever wanted.
