I am the Resurrection and the Life

Jeff Gordon

John 11:1-53

Jesus responds to the death of his good friend Lazarus. He comforts Martha in a time of deep distress by reminding her of who he is and the eternal life he offers. He is deeply upset and weeps with the people around him. Then he demonstrates his divine power by raising Lazarus from the dead.

Hanukkah, The Messiah and a Great Gift

Jeff Gordon

John 10:22-42

Jesus reveals the Jews' unbelief. They ask him to tell them plainly if he is the Messiah and then threaten to stone him for claiming to be God. The Messiah the Jews were (and still are) looking for is not the suffering servant that Jesus was during his first coming. Instead, they expected a conquering king messiah. Jesus offers salvation for all who believe in him as a sacrifice for their sins.

I am the Good Shepherd

Jeff Gordon

John 10:1-21

God gave us Jesus as a shepherd to protect and provide for us. We have all strayed away like sheep but Jesus knows each of us personally. Jesus also calls us to serve his sheep with our lives. Since Jesus provides for our security perfectly, we can give out to others as well.

The Transfiguration

Ryan Lowery

Luke 9:20-36

At the transfiguration, Moses and Elijah appear as Jesus' glory is revealed by God to some of his disciples. This proves that Jesus is the chosen Messiah and the culmination of God's plan. While Jesus has no equal, and is the ultimate king, he also dies willingly to save his subjects.

The Unlikely Apostle

Jim Leffel

Acts 9

God pursues one of the most unlikely converts to the Christian faith. Saul becomes Paul in an epic confrontation with the risen Christ. He is stricken with the realization that he has been fighting the living God, and yet there is grace available even to him. Many of us are also "unlikely", but God pursues us nonetheless out of His incredible mercy. As a result we are given freedom and a new purpose, just like Paul!\r\n\r\n

New Life in Christ

Scott Risley

1 Peter 3:17-4:6

Believers should be prepared to suffer. Noah suffered and sacrificed a great deal in his life. His rescue came at a significant cost; Christ's rescue of humanity came at an even greater cost. Christ's suffering is the supreme example for us and is also the reason why we can live different lives. Christ suffered so we can have new life.

I Am the Light of the World

Jeff Gordon

Romans 5:6-11

Jesus claims he is the light of the world. He offers direction and protection in this life, the forgiveness of sins, friendship with God and evidence that he is who he says he is through his death and resurrection. According to the Bible, people have two options: 1) choose Jesus' death to pay for our sins or 2) die in our sins and be separated from God. Jesus demonstrated through the Pharisees accusation against the adulterous woman that no one is without sin.

The Other Side of the Tracks

Jim Leffel

Luke 15:1-7

As persecution increases, Saul of Tarsus enters the scene as a great enemy of Christians. Philip goes to proclaim the message of Christ in Samaria, bridging a cultural gap made from 1000 years of enmity and prejudice. We can also bridge the gaps in our culture, reaching those in our community with whom we are not naturally connected. \r\n\r\n

Jesus Fulfills the Feast of Booths

Gary DeLashmutt

John 7:1-43

Jesus' identity and message can be hard to swallow; controversy and conflict over him is caused not by the amount of evidence but by unwillingness to accept God's leadership. At a festival he stands up and proclaims that he is the festival's fulfillment and the true river of spiritual life. There is a difference between drinking once and receiving the spirit forever and drinking regularly to be full of God's love, which can done by serving and loving in a Christian community.
