When the woman discovered Christ, her life was changed. Despite becoming unclean, Jesus met the woman where she was, in order that she might hear the message of salvation. As the disciples returned, Jesus taught them how God sustains His own as they seek to live for Him. As the disciples become part of His work, God will deliver the harvest that is ripe for the picking. For the woman, sh...

Jesus spoke with the woman at the well. He shattered norms and expectations and he began a new way of thinking. John tells the story of Jesus so that we can realize that a life in Christ is not about playing the part, but about responding to the work of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Through Jesus Christ, God opens the door for people to worship Him in the truth and way He created them to. This...

In John 4, Jesus crashes through cultural taboos in His exchange with a Samaritan woman at the well. His purpose went beyond what society accepted. The woman, once secure in her spirituality, realized what she was once sure of, was not as she thought. She discovers that life in Jesus offers more. Our response to Christ is determined by the understanding of our purpose. Are...

In John 3, there is a comparison between Nicodemus and John the Baptist. One looked the part, played the part and was affirmed by others, yet totally missed the mark. One cared little for tradition or detailed adherence to religious expectation, yet sought to honor God and glorify Jesus Christ with his entire life. While Nicodemus was affirmed by all who knew him as a man of God, within his h...

In John’s gospel account he shares with the reader how the divine nature of God collides with the fullness of humanity necessary for salvation. In the 3rd chapter, John delivers the hallmark address of God’s great love and the purpose for the life and death of Jesus, so that all who look upon Him might be saved.

The Pharisees, leaders of the temple, could not see the Son of God in Jesus Christ. Even through good intentions we miss the person and work of Jesus Christ when Christ is not the focus or the power by which we live our lives and seek to connect to God. (John 2:12-22)

Upon entering Jerusalem, Jesus saw the condition of the temple, and cleaned house. Driving out the moneychangers and those who turned a place of worship into a marketplace He revealed that through His coming and soon sacrifice, He brought a new system of worship and connection to God. In the heart is where the presence of God and the connection between the true believer and Creator exist...

Our new Director of Student Ministries, Neal Folger, shares with us a little bit of his journey in faith and ministry and how God has led him this far and called him to join our faith family as we seek to grow together as disciples of Jesus Christ!

At a wedding feast, a crisis erupts that could cause ruin to the groom and his whole party. Jesus responds by performing his first public miracle. Not only did it save the day, but it also reveals the way in which Jesus Christ came to save those who would place their life in Him for all eternity. Through normal means, Jesus accomplishes extraordinary things. (John 2:1-11)

Who Takes Away The Sin of The World- Jesus is the sacrificial lamb, redeeming those who would believe in Him. This statement is the beginning of life, an announcement we cannot afford to dismiss. (John 1-29-34)

The voice of the one calling out from the desert gave his life to proclaim that the promised Messiah was coming and had now arrived. Through his witness, the world would be called to prepare for the coming king and salvation He brings. (John 1:15-28)

John begins his gospel account with revealing the fully divine nature of Jesus entertwined with the fullness of humanity. In Jesus Christ, the fullness of God comes down to earth to redeem humanity. (John 1:1-1 4)

He was the foundation on which Jesus said He would build His church. Yet he denied Christ 3 times. He was the leader of the Disciples after Jesus was with them no longer, yet he led them fishing, back to who they were before Jesus found them. Even though Peter failed to be the shining example of what we would think Christ's appointed leader would look like, he held a quality that Jesus knew would...

One of the disciples was not with the others the first time Jesus appeared in their midst. Even with Mary Magdalene’s first-hand testimony as well as the eye-witness accounts of all of his friends, Thomas just could not accept that Jesus was alive. We usually think of “Doubting” Thomas as the knuckle head who couldn’t get it right. We see his stubbornness to accept what we profess as truth, but wh...

The story for Mary Magdalene was not over, in fact, it was just the beginning. Having been rescued by Jesus and invited to a new life, a new hope, Mary Magdalene would discover on that first Easter morning exactly what Jesus meant! For Mary, something happened inside of her the moment she recognized Jesus, her hope was no longer in the situation, but in the Savior. Because of what she realized she...

The morning at the tomb began as the day that the reality sank in for Mary Magdalene and the other disciples that it was all over. Jesus had been placed in the tomb and the only thing left to do was finish the burial customs that the Sabbath has halted. However, things didn’t turn out as Jesus’ followers expected. Instead of a body, they found and empty tomb and burial clothes. Instead of their da...
