Sermons on John
John 11:1-45 Death is the ugly reality we all face. But how can we? The world has its false answers, but because Jesus is ‘the resurrection and the life’ we can face death with hope knowing as well his love and sympathy for us. All this we discover in the great miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.
John 8:1-11 The gospel condemns those who society perceives as being ‘good’, but it rescues and transforms even the ‘worst’ of sinners
John 6:1-15, 25-40 Do you feel like you are constantly wanting or missing something? Jesus teaches us that true lasting satisfaction is found in him. He is the bread of life.
John 4:4-30 Humanity is seeking all kinds of satisfaction in all kinds of places and people, but so many find the satisfaction they find doesn’t last and isn’t secure. Listen in as Jesus tells us about ultimate, lasting, cleansing satisfaction from and with him.
John 3:1-21 One of the best-known verses in the New Testament, John 3:16, begins with a ‘For’, connecting it to the previous verse: which is from the Old Testament! We can’t fully-understand, or fully-appreciate, the one without the other. John the gospel-writer introduces us to Nicodemus, a teacher of ‘the scriptures’ (what we now call the Old Testament) in order to tell us the good news of God’s love in sending Jesus, the Light of the World.
John 1:43-51 How clear is your view of Jesus? As we start a new series looking at encounters with Jesus in John’s gospel, we will be challenged to ‘see’ him more clearly. Like Nathanael, are we prepared to have our vision of Jesus expanded? Are we willing to move ever closer to the light that shines in the darkness?
John 13:1-30 Jesus has embarked on a great washing project and he wants us to join him as he washes the whole world of its sin and shame. But do we really need washing? And can we really play a role in washing the whole world?
John 3:22-36 Life isn’t all about us, it’s about Jesus.
John 20:1-18
