John 8:48-59 - From Insults to Belief

In this sermon, Rev. Chris Vogel looks at John 8:48-59 where we come to the conclusion of Jesus’ Temple Discourse. During the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus has disputed with the religious leaders and the crowds, and in our passage it comes to a head as Jesus once again clearly states that He is God. Jesus’ great I Am that is more than a theological statement of deity, but a call for us to take into account the degree to which we treasure Him in His Word.

John 8:39-47 - Family Resemblance

In this sermon, Rev. Ben Sinnard continues the discourse around Abraham as the “Jews” and Jesus develop their arguments. In John 8:39-47 the Jews rely upon their family tree with Abraham and their spiritual legacy as the “people of God” to give them standing before Jesus. But Jesus' response is deafening that neither Abraham nor God is their father, but rather the Devil, which is evidenced by their lack of hearing, love, and truth. Our only credentials and hope is in Jesus Christ, the one sent from the Father to rescue His people from bondage.

John 8:31-38 - Free At Last

In this sermon, Rev. Chris Vogel continues in the book of John. We encounter the familiar saying, “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Freedom is something we all long for and truth is what we all profess to pursue. Yet in John 8:31-38 the truth that gives freedom is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. As you prepare for worship consider the bondage you experience in your life.

John 8:21-30 - Deliver Us From Confusion

In this sermon, Rev. Chris Vogel continues in John 8:21-30 as Jesus confronts the religious leaders’ unbelief. Jesus. The offer of the gospel, of new life, and of sins forgiven is placed before people. What is then required is trust in Christ. The convincing proof Jesus offers that He has come from God the Father is His death and resurrection. It is in His suffering for us do we most clearly see that Jesus is He of whom the whole of God’s Word speaks.

John 7:1-24 - What do you believe?

In this sermon, Rev. Ben Sinnard looks at John 7:1-24. With the backdrop of the celebration of the Feast of Booths, Jesus sees unbelief from the Jewish crowds and his own brothers. Jesus responds to this unbelief in 3 ways by recalibrating his brothers' view of his purpose, teaching in the temple of the Father's glory, and by setting the crowds straight about the nature of grace over law. These truths call for us to respond with belief in Jesus, who has rescued us from our self-focus and pride, and directed our longing and belief to the cross.

Titus 2:11-15 - God's Grace: Past, Present and Future

In this sermon, Rev. Jon Talley looks at Titus 2:11-15. Many of us can see how God’s grace was at work in our lives in the past: our coming to faith, past circumstances, etc. We also believe that in the future, at some point, Jesus will return and he will make all things right. But what about today, in the here and now? What does God’s grace look like in our lives in the present, on a daily basis? Thankfully, the Apostle Paul gives us an answer in this passage from his letter to Titus.
