This Sunday we continue our series in the gospel of John we are now looking at chapter 3 verses 9-15. Here Jesus continues His conversation with Nicodemus, whom, this Sunday, I will call the skeptic. Jesus had told him “Ye must be born again;” and Jesus says this phrase not to just a plain ordinary…
As we continue our series in the gospel of John we are now looking at chapter 3 verses 1-8. Here Jesus meets with Nicodemus, one of the ones He points to at the end of chapter 2, those who really didn’t believe. The words “because He knew all men” (2:24) connect with “there was a man” (3:1)…
This Sunday, we continue our series in the gospel of John looking at chapter 2 verses 12-25. Here Jesus and His disciples go to Jerusalem from Cana after spending a few days in Capernaum.

This Sunday, we will take another week to look at chapter 2 verses 1-11 in our series in the gospel of John. Why?

This Sunday, since it is Palm Sunday I thought we might do a special message for this week and next before returning to our series in the gospel of John. This special message takes us to Matthew 21:1-11, where Jesus sets in motion the events that lead to His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. It begins…
This Sunday we’ll do one more message the Lord has laid on my heart before we return to our series in the gospel of John. This message takes us to 2 Corinthians 4, where Paul encourages believers, ministers, not to lose heart (faint not – KJV). The temptation to lose heart is great, every believer…
This Sunday, we take a break from our series in the gospel of John and focus on the cross and celebrating the Lord’s supper. Our text for this communion service is Luke 23:32-46.
