John’s Question

Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010

Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more

Funeral Sermon For Geneva Peterson: "I Can Do That!"

Contributed by Joel Smith on Feb 9, 2009

A funeral message about an exceptional woman.

I believe that everyone’s life has a theme. Patterns emerge over the years that are true of us all the time. Sometimes it’s difficult to figure out your theme, but with Geneva it’s pretty easy.

John’s Ministry Begins Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 21, 2017

John the Baptist steps out on the stage of history. He is a New Testament personality, but I classify him as an Old Testament prophet, because of his character and his message.

John’s Vision Of The Voice Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

Jesus, the Voice, reveals Himself in a powerful vision to John, showing His glory, authority, and care for His Church. We need to listen to His voice and see Him for who He truly is.

Today we're diving into the book of Revelation. It's like the ultimate spoiler alert for how the world ends. Spoiler: God wins. But before we get to the end, we're going to look at a pretty wild vision that John had of Jesus. Let's read Revelation 2 together. Spoiler: God wins. So, John's chilling ...read more

A Very Special "I Am” Of John’s Gospel – "Ego Eimi” – "I, I Am” – So Much Comfort In It – Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 31, 2022

When does despair become relief? When does the dangerous trough of despondency become the glorious hill of deliverance? The answer is in verse 19 of John 6. Jesus drew near to the boat and when Jesus walked on the water and came closer to the boat, all the perspective changed.

A VERY SPECIAL “I AM” OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – “EGO EIMI” – “I, I AM” – SO MUCH COMFORT IN IT – PART 2 We looked in PART 1 at the marvellous I AM of John’s Gospel. It means “I, I am.” It stamped the authority of Jesus as the Elohim of the Old Testament, and that came with all authority. One of the ...read more

A Tribute To John

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 15, 2000

John the Baptist pays tribute to Jesus; and in recording his words, John the Apostle pays tribute to him.

This portion of John’s gospel, when seen in context with surrounding narrative, at first may appear out of place. John has documented Jesus’ discourse with the Pharisee, Nicodemus, and early in the next chapter he records His conversation with the Samaritan woman by Jacob’s well near Sychar. ...read more
