What Kind of King Is This?
Series: The Hope of Easter
The reason why Jesus was rejected as the Messiah is because he did not meet the personal and political expectations of many in his day, and this is still the case for many people today. His victory is not what we expect: it came through submission the the Father’s will and death on a cross. When we look for Jesus to be a king we of our own cause, we will be let down; he deals with the root of every issue: the human heart.

Mar 31, 2019Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood??John chapter 6 comes to a close with this bold teaching of Jesus: He is the only one who is sufficient, who meets all of our needs, and who must fill us completely. And unless he calls us, we cannot come.

Feb 17, 2019In Plain SightWhen Jesus establishes who he is, he does so on the authority of the Old Testament Scripture. As we look at some of the Old Testament, it is clear that all of it points to Christ; however, in order to see it and truly put faith in Christ, the sinful heart must first be changed. The Bible must shape our worldview, not the other way around.

Jan 27, 2019Confrontation…FrustrationJohn 5:1-17 demonstrates to us two flavors of unbelief with which we are familiar.

As Christians, we rest in the grace of God in fulfilling the law for us, and we do not back down from confrontation or opposition.

Jan 6, 2019Gospel Transformation (Continued)We can learn much from the story of Jesus’ encounter with the woman of Samaria, including the consequences that we see when a person comes to Christ. We find that the gospel forces us out of our comfort zone, that we are completely freed from our shame, and that nothing is more important to us than Jesus.
