Glory

Lee Campbell

John 17:1-23

Jesus' purpose was to display God's glory through his life on earth. We desire glory for ourselves and often put others down because we think that is how we will experience glory. If we act in love as God designed us we can truly experience glory through God. This teaching features a recording of Steve Harvey introducing Jesus.

In the World but Not of the World

Ryan Weingartner

1 Corinthians 9:19-22

The last thing Jesus prays for his followers before he was crucified was to be in the world, but not of the world. How do followers of Jesus do this? By displaying Jesus' love to the watching work, Christians are able to stand out as distinct from Satan's world system. Followers of Jesus are distinct in the areas the Bible emphasizes and in pursuing the eternal things rather than temporary things of this world.

A Life Worth Living

Ryan Lowery

Luke 12:13-34

Our culture has many definitions of a full life, but God as creator has radically challenging things to say on the subject. In many cases, the pursuit of material things can get in the way of love relationships. The problem with materialism is that it can never satisfy, because God has designed us for love. Being rich toward God means living a true, full, and meaningful life from an eternal perspective.

I Am the Bread of Life

Jeff Gordon

John 6:30-71

Jesus claims he is the bread of life and whoever believes in him will never hunger or thirst again. He miraculously feeds a crowd of more than five thousand by using his disciples' availability rather than their ability. Though they were tired and challenged by the task, the disciples had twelve baskets of food left over for themselves after distributing food to the crowd. Jesus meets their needs as they follow him. After being challenged to seek eternal life through Jesus rather than seek temporal food for a meal, some people desert him and others follow. What response will you have?

Jesus in Samaria

Jeff Gordon

John 4:1-42

Nichodemas & John the Baptist

Jeff Gordon

John 3:1-36

Jesus refers back to an event in the Old Testament when Moses lifted up a snake in the wilderness to be looked upon for personal salvation. Jesus likens himself to the snake, in such a way that he too will be lifted up and looked upon for personal salvation. We need spiritual rebirth which can only come through humble faith in Jesus Christ.

The New Wine

Gary DeLashmutt

John 2:1-11

Jesus performs his first miracle at a wedding in Cana of turning water into wine. This miracle reveals three important aspects of Jesus' character. First, Jesus is life affirming and his existence enables joy in our life. Second, he is a humble servant who uses his authority to serve in a non-boisterous way. Third, he replaces external religion with internal life; this is deliberately symbolized by the way he performs the miracle.

Unveiling God's Rescue

Scott Risley

1 Peter 1:1-12

Peter, a man who was transformed by his belief in Christ, writes this letter to believers who were scattered throughout many Roman provinces. Believers, who are chosen by God according to His foreknowledge, have an inheritance waiting for us in heaven. This inheritance provides security for us because it is imperishable, undefiled, won't fade away and reserved for us. We experience security as our faith is tested through suffering. We are filled with gratitude as we focus on our inheritance during times of suffering.

Sermon on the Plain - Part 1

Ryan Lowery

Luke 6:12-26

Jesus teaches about four blessings for the poor, hungry, weeping, and ostracized; as well as four corresponding woes for the rich, fed, laughers, and popular. Jesus is teaching a paradigm of reversal: that a disciple who adopts God's values will gain fulfillment, while one who adopts material values will end up with sorrow. Those who sacrifice these selfish values now will receive great joy in heaven.
