The Promise of the Holy Spirit - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 14-16

Chapters 12 & 13 deal with the anointing at Bethany, the triumphal entry and the Last Supper. In Chapters 14-16, we have the teachings of Jesus about the Holy Spirit as the helper, comforter and advocate. The Holy Spirit is a person of God, just like the Father and the Son. We see that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit were all present at Creation, as well as at the baptism of Jesus. The Holy Spirit has a mind, a will, and emotions. He dwells in us when we get saved. He teaches, convicts and guides us, as well as testifies through us.

The Resurrection and the Life - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 11

In raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus conquered death and foreshadowed His own resurrection. Some lessons from this incident: 1- Jesus was never alarmed or panicked about anything, and was driven by His Father’s will, not emotional desires; 2- God’s timing is not our timing and we don’t always understand His timing; 3- When death happens, Eternal Life continues.

I Am the Good Shepherd - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 10

As we continue our study of the Gospel of John, we find Jesus in a long discourse with religious leaders and others regarding whether he is God. He explained by comparing himself to a good shepherd, something they all understood. He provides guidance and protection and is willing to lay down his life for his sheep. He is the Shepherd-Messiah. The actions and the words of Jesus Christ PROVE that He is God!

Light of the World in a Dark World - Pastor Will Donato

John 7-9

When we reach these chapters, we find Jesus during the Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus talks about the water-pouring and lamp-lighting ceremonies and declares that he is their fulfillment. He is the Water of Life and the Light of the World. As we read of the healing of the man born blind, we learn how the light of Jesus exposes sin, overcomes darkness, and brings spiritual light. Belief brings sight, unbelief blinds. Allow the light of Jesus to guide you through the darkness of this world.

I Am the Bread of LIfe - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 6

This chapter begins with Jesus speaking to a multitude who become hungry. To meet their need, he multiplies the few available loaves and fish in a miraculous provision for them. After leaving that crowd for a time, he walks on water to reach another crowd. It's here that he proclaims himself the Bread of Life. Many are searchers, but as he further expounds upon this truth, some become grumblers, some arguers, and even some decide to desert him. We must seek after Jesus because we want a relationship with Him- NOT a handout.

The Son Gives Life - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 5:1-9

When Jesus came to the pool of Bethesda and saw the many disabled people hoping to receive healing from the waters, he was led by God to speak to one man who had been an invalid for 38 years. The man was healed simply by obeying the words of Jesus to stand and walk. Jesus has divine authority to heal, judge, and give life. It's important for us to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance so that we minister in divine authority, not in our own human desires.

Living Water for a Thirsty World - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 4:1-42

As we continue to follow the life of Jeus in the Gospel of John, we come upon his meeting the Samaritan woman at the well. He reveals Himself as Messiah to a broken woman - and transforms a whole town. In John 3, Jesus offered eternal life to a wealthy Council leader. Now he offers it to the outcast and overlooked. Eternal life is available to all.

You Must Be Born Again - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 3:1-18

Continuing the study of John entitled "That You May Believe", we examine the conversation of Jesus with Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling Council. Jesus explains what it means to be born again. Nicodemus's response went from confusion, to curiosity, to conviction, and most likely to conversion. The plan of salvation as declared in John 3:16-18.

John 2: First Signs - Pastor Will Donato

John 2

Since the morning service was cancelled due to the snow emergency, Pastor Will Livestreamed the sermon from his home. In Chapter 2 of John, we see Jesus performing his first miracle and then clearing the Temple. They symbolize His ability to transform lives, but also to confront and cast out evil. He is the Messiah with divine authority.

Come and See: The First Disciples Believe - Pastor Jeff Powell

John 1:19-51

As we continue through the Gospel of John, we see Jesus revealing himself personally and inviting seekers to believe. John the Baptist gives witness to many that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  Jesus then has his first interactions with Andrew, Peter, Philip and Nathanael. Each has his own story of how he came to follow Jesus. Faith often begins with invitation, testimony and simple obedience.
