John

The focal point of all scripture! The “encapsulating statement of the Gospel”. “Undeniably the most concise, profound and famous summary of the gospel ever uttered.” To quote from scripture, then from the sermon:”For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son That whosoever believes in him should not perish but have […]

John

What happens when the ultimate religious insider meets the living Son of God? In John 3:1–15, we encounter Nicodemus—a Pharisee, a member of the Sanhedrin, and a man recognized as “the teacher of Israel.” He represented the absolute peak of human morality, religious devotion, and biblical scholarship. Yet, coming to Jesus under the cover of […]

Genesis, John

This second section of chapter 1 continues looking at the fundamentally divine nature of Jesus the Messiah. Many small items in scripture add up to a magnificent interlocking edifice of evidence to the supernatural, long-timespan, matrix of paths to the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus. Pastor Barry told us the reason […]

John

This is the first study in our verse-by-verse expositional study of the Gospel of John. Some have tried to say the Bible never claims that Jesus is God. This gospel was written as an intentional defense of the fact that Jesus is God, manifest in the flesh, Who came to reveal the Father to us. […]

John

This sermon has the major theme of God’s Timing – things that are pre-ordained are not to happen before their appointed time. Jesus kept a low profile, not wanting to draw attention to himself, until, again, the right time.So Jesus wasn’t just doing things at random, like many Christians do.Jesus wasn’t just a random person, […]
