(* - indicates sermon stands alone and is not part of any sermon series) "Lessons After Supper" (13-part Lenten / Easter sermon series beginning in John 13 with Jesus' final instructions to the disciples after the Last Supper) 1/3/10 The Full Extent of Love (John 13: 1 - 17) The meal had been served...and the Master gave a lesson about service that rocked the disciples' worlds. 1/10/10 Jesus Knows (John 13: 18 - 30) Was Jesus aware of all that was going on around Him? Was He aware of the betrayer? Was it all a surprise to Him? According to John's account along with the rest of Scripture, we can be confident that Jesus knew...and He always knew. 1/17/10 Yet Will I Trust Him * (Psalm 46: 1 - 3 and other selected Scriptures in response to Haitian Earthquake) There are times in our lives where circumstances literally shake us to our foundations. What do we do in those times? How should we respond as Christians when seemingly unexplainable tragedies like the earthquake in Haiti and our own personal "earthquakes" occur? 1/24/10 Love...the Lord's Way (John 13: 31 - 38) When it comes to love, everyone has their own idea of how to define it. But as Christians, we are called to have a specific kind of love that we cannot limit to our own definitions. For Christians, we must love...but in the Lord's way. 1/31/10 The Promise (John 14: 1 - 4) The disciples were indeed troubled deep in their souls...after all, the Messiah told them He was leaving them soon. And Jesus had told them on many occasions that He would be killed. This was not how the disciples pictured the Messiah so it caused them great distress. But Jesus made a promise to them and to all believers that should cause peace in our souls no matter the situation. 2/7/10 Totally Inclusive Exclusivity (John 14: 5 - 6) To say that there is such a thing as exclusive or absolute truth nowadays...well, some are so offended by that statement that they might as well think you were swearing at them. But Jesus was clear that there is such a thing as absolute truth when He said there was only ONE way to heaven. 2/14/10 The Real Power of Faith (John 14: 7 - 15) A lot of the tele-heretics...I'm mean, televangelists who abuse Scripture to an alarming degree can take passages and put them through the filter of what they want to believe. When they do that, however, they do not proclaim the truth of God's Word. In this section of John, Jesus Himself explains what the real power of faith is...and that source is NOT in the power of our "words of faith." 2/21/10 If We Love Jesus... (John 14: 15 - 26) The disciples were understandably concerned...Jesus said He was leaving them. But He did make a promise to them that they would not be alone. And once a believer receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, there are four blessings and one challenge we receive as well. 2/28/10 Got Peace? (John 14: 27 - 31) Not only did Jesus leave the disciples with the promise of the Holy Spirit coming to dwell in them, He also left them another gift...the gift of His perfect peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding. And ALL believers should feel that peace. |
