Caring For Those In Need
“God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7) When He asks us to give, it is not because of anything He needs. He wants us to care for others through that giving, because He cares for them too. As we give, it opens doors for others to see Him more clearly.
Connected
In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds a church from different ethnic and economic backgrounds with different abilities that they are all to be one body. We can learn from his message how to be the unified church in difficult times.
My Redeemer Lives
Jesus appeared several times after His resurrection. As we close our series on the Gospel of John, we look at the appearances recorded by John and what we can learn about Jesus from each of them.

The Greatest Story
Jesus was misunderstood, mistreated, beaten, tried, found to be without guilt, executed, buried and rose from the dead. It was the mission He took on about of obedience for the Father and love for us. It is the greatest story.

I Am the Light of the World
When Jesus says that He is the Light of the world, He is not just contrasting light and darkness. He is illustrating just how different He is from the religious leaders of HIs time and of any time. When we follow His light, we have different results than we get following anyone else.

I Am the Good Shepherd
We may not know much about shepherds, but they are mentioned frequently in scripture. In Psalm 23, God is our Shepherd. Here in John 10, Jesus is a Shepherd. Isn’t it great to know that He cares so much for us, His sheep?
I Am the Door
In the third I Am statement of Jesus we look at together, Jesus refers to Himself as the Door or the Gate. In the context of the sheep pen, the door provides protection from danger and safe passage for the shepherd and sheep. As Jesus provides these things for us, we can truly have freedom. […]
