The Gospel of John | What Are You Seeking? – John 1:35-51

April 3, 2019

After Jesus’ encounter with John the Baptist, people were quickly drawn to Jesus Christ. The testimony of John the Baptist preparing the hearts of the people to receive the Messiah had been received and now people came seeking out the Messiah. During this time, Jesus drew the first of who would be called His twelve disciples. John’s presentation of the Gospel gives a fast paced escalation of the events of Christ’s ministry. Once the word began to get out, things developed rather quickly as those would come to Christ would be transformed and renewed by experiencing the teachings and presence of God.

Spiritual Disciplines | Submission

April 1, 2019

Of all the Spiritual Disciplines, prayer is one more frequently understood by people yet one of the ones we fail to do regularly. Either we overcomplicate prayer to be formulaic, ritualistic, and stiff as we miss the organic connectivity with God. Or we underestimate the power of a prayer filled life and the ability of God to hear and respond to our prayers. In short, prayer is talking to God as Lord and Savior. We boldly bring our concerns, praises, and vulnerable before the High King of Heaven. Prayer is coming before the Lord bringing who we are and seeking His will and presence in our lives while shaping who we are to be more like Him.

The Gospel of John | The Witness of John the Baptist – John 1:19-34

March 27, 2019

John moves to tell the story of the one who would proclaim the coming Messiah. John the Baptist (different from the John writing this account of the Gospel) always had a special connection to Jesus. From the priestly tribe of Levi, John the Baptist lept for joy from within the womb as Mary, now pregnant with Jesus, visiting Elizabeth. While Elizabeth would give birth first, John’s life would be a testament to the coming Messiah. Everything taught and proclaimed would be in an effort to pave the way in the hearts of mankind to receive Jesus Christ.

One this episode, we celebrate this holiday by walking through the origins of Saint Patrick. It turns out, he is not even Irish. But he was willing to give up everything he has for the sake of the Gospel. From his actions, arguably western civilization was saved. Also, we found a fantastic description of the Trinity with the Shamrock. So much of St. Patrick is cloaked in story and we look at what is what and how we can be impacted by his life even today.

The Gospel of John | The Light Lives Among Us – John 1:1-18

March 20, 2019

From Genesis 1:1 (which John clearly is referencing in his opening prologue) we witness God creating life out of nothing. Yet, the perfection of paradise did not last with the introduction of sin and darkness. In a single moment of mutiny, God’s people corrupted the perfection of creation and corrupted the soul to stand against God. For some, it may be easy to think that the actions of God were nothing more than plan B in reaction to mankind’s choices. Nothing could be further from the truth.
