John 1:19-28 - Revealing the Hidden



In this sermon Rev. Ben Sinnard preaches from John 1:19-28. John 1:19-28 directly follows the prologue (1:1-18) and begins the narrative of John's Gospel. On the surface, this looks like a how-to on witnessing, but the deeper concern is blindness. The Christ was hidden from those gathered with John because of their spiritual blindness. No matter how hard they (and we) might try, the "One who comes after John" must be revealed.

John 1:14-18 - Christ: Unique in Glory



In this sermon, Rev. Chris Vogel preaches from John 1:14-18 which highlights the uniqueness of both the glory and the grace of Jesus Christ. This week we will focus on the glory and look at the grace next week. The uniqueness of Christ’s glory is found in the incarnation, that God took on flesh and made His home among us. What is hinted at in Exodus 25:8 and pictured as a passing shadow in Exodus 33-34 is made real for us today.

John 1:6-13 - True Witness. True Light.



In this sermon, Rev. Ben Sinnard preaches from John 1:6-13. Here we see that God uses human witnesses to make clear the light of Christ (Jn 1:6-8). God uses the witness of humans to peel back the darkness of the world. The response of the world comes in two forms: rejection or reception. The beauty of the Gospel is seen in that God adopts us as his children (Jn 1:9-13).
