Fathers day   I AM the Resurrection and the Life .  And we understand in hindsight that his road to glory included pain, grief, heartbreak, betrayal, abandonment and ultimately, a brutal death on the cross.

Jesus is worth everything, because he gave everything. When we understand what Jesus gave for us, no act of devotion feels too costly .

Paradigm: a fundamental framework, pattern, or model of thought that shapes how we understand and approach the world or a problem. God wants us to understand that there is purpose in the pain; meaning in the mess.  Instead of asking why is God allowing this to happen,  we can change our paradigm and ask where is God is moving in the situation. 

Sermon Page 48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?” 49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.” 52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we...

The Bread of Life is not earned by striving but received by all who come to Jesus in faith. It is undoubtedly attainable.

Strength doesn’t mean having it together. It means showing up anyway.

Do you want to get well?

Signs point. Jesus provides. Faith is choosing to follow the sign.

1. The Practice of Stillness He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”  Psalm 46:10 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind....

The resurrection doesn’t calm your world — it anchors you inside it. 11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put h...

“After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.  As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, ‘Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.  Untie it and bring it here.  If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lo...

Jesus meets our deepest need and offers grace to all who believe—because He is God and He is good. MAIN VERSE:   4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.7 When a Samaritan woman came to...

He must increase. You must decrease. And that's not a burden—it's freedom. 1. The Problem - “We all want to be the hero of our own story”  They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.” John 3:26 27 To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is...

WE WANT INFORMATION, JESUS POINTS TO TRANSFORMATION. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Su...

Big Idea: John writes so that we may see Jesus as more than a reformer but as the Son of God. Jesus disrupts the temple activity to show his identity as the Son of God. 13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cord...

Today we are going to look into the book of John and see what is called the first sign. John’s gospel account is laid out in a really cool structure. It is the first of Seven Signs that point to Jesus being the Son of God.  Turning water into wine, Healing the official's son, healing the paralytic, feeding the 5,000, walking on water, healing the blind man, raising Lazarus.  31 But these are w...

John 1:19-34 NIV Big Idea : It’s not about you, it’s about Jesus. Use your life to point to Him. Backround : John the Baptist was a rock star!  A prophet living in the Jordan River Valley who had a big following.  People from all over would come to listen to his message of repentance and baptism.  John had his own disciples, who would later become Jesus’s disciples.  Also, John the Baptist was a r...

John 20:31 John 1:1-14 1. WHO IS JESUS? John 1:1-5 John calls Jesus "the Word." In Greek, that's Logos . Now, if you were a Greco/Roman listener hearing this, your ears would perk up. Logos was a big deal in Greek philosophy—it meant the rational principle that ordered the universe, the divine reason behind everything. If you were a Jewish listener, you'd think of how God SPOKE c...

1 Kings 18:16-21 1. Some gods never answer And here's the tragic irony: The more your god doesn't answer, the MORE you sacrifice to it. The prophets of Baal started dancing. Then shouting. Then cutting themselves. Why? Because when your god doesn't work, you think: "I'm not doing enough. I need to try harder." I heard someone once call it “ the treadmill of false worship....

1. UNITED PRAYER RELEASES EXPONENTIAL POWER Matthew 18:19-20 Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 2. CORPORATE PRAYER BUILDS SPIRITUAL UNITY 3. COLLECTIVE PRAYER CARRIES SHARED AUTHORITY Acts 4:29-30 4. COMMUNAL PRAYER ENCOURAGES WEAK FAITH James 5:16

Matthew 6:9-13 1. START WITH WHO GOD IS, NOT WHAT YOU NEED "Prayer doesn't start with your problems—it starts with God's perfection." Starts with Our Father (intimate) Not "Dear Sir" or "Almighty Judge" or "Distant Creator." Father.   But notice: He doesn't just say "my Father"—He says "OUR Father." Prayer is never just about...

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 1. PRAYER CONNECTS YOU TO GOD'S POWER John 15:5 2. PRAYER CHANGES YOUR PERSPECTIVE Philippians 4:6-7 When you pray, problems don't necessarily get smaller—you get bigger You start seeing with God's eyes, not just your circumstances You begin to see God clearer… JESUS GETS BIGGER ”Every Year you grow you will find me bigger” 3. PRAYER CLARIFIES YOUR PURPOSE Psalm 3...

Intervention: The Act of stepping into a situation to change its course, especially to prevent harm or improve an outcome. Galatians 4:4-7 There are two important things when it comes to an intervention: Timing and Purpose Galatians 4:4-7 reminds us that’s what Christmas is all about. 1.    God Intervenes at the right time (v. 4) (Timing) “But when the set time had fully come, God sent His Son, bo...
