What a gift have before us, today! We are continuing in our study of the Gospel According to John. We are in the chapter where one of the most famous verses in the whole Bible sits. This section is truly a source of hope, peace, comfort, and strength.
Christ came because of love. He came to save. He came to give eternal life to all who believe.

Today, we are going to be meditating upon and unpacking a very well-known moment in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. It's the famous scene of Christ's interaction with Nicodemus on the new birth. Although it's a well-known moment in Scripture and most have at least a portion of it committed to memory, I believe many miss important elements of what the Lord is saying here. My desire is to demonstrate what Christ is referring to and allow that truth to fill us all with the hope we have in the power of God to give us new life.
May God bless us all with renewed minds and new strength from what we learn here.

Continuing our sermon series, Pastor James White preaches on John 2:13-25.

- John 2:1-12 -

God ordained marriage as one of the very first institutions amongst men, and honored it by attending a wedding in Cana of Galilee in the Person of His Son. We will consider Jesus' relationship with His mother in this story, a vital topic when we seek to proclaim good news to those who have imbibed Rome's teachings on Mary. Next week as we finish the chapter we will look at false and true faith, and Jesus' teaching on real discipleship.

"It is a high honor given to marriage, that Christ not only deigned to be present at a nuptial banquet, but honored it with his first miracle." (John Calvin)

- John 1:35-41 -

We are in our series on the Gospel According to John. Today, we are finishing up chapter 1 and the introduction of the fist disciples called by the Lord Jesus.
The beloved disciple has already pointed us to the profound realities of Jesus. He is God in the flesh. He is the Creator of all things. He is the Lamb of God. Now, John brings us further into the majesty of Christ by way of His irst interaction with the Apostles. He is the Son of Man. He is Messiah. He is the true ladder to Heaven that the angels of God cling to.
Something divine and unique was present within Jesus and it was obvious to all. Their faith began and was only going to grow in strength and size because of the nature of the One they were now following and walking with.
May God do the same with us.
