Knowing Jesus as the Light
At the beginning of John 9, Jesus encounters a man who is blind from birth. By the end of the chapter, the blind man is able to see both physically and spiritually because he recognizes his blindness and need. The religious leaders, by contrast, don’t recognize their need, and they prove to be blind to the Light of the world. We learn from these two examples how we can experience Jesus as the Light.

    Knowing Jesus as the Truth
    We live in a strange time when truth is under attack and the nature of truth is up for debate. In John 8, we are reminded that knowing the truth is key for experiencing freedom. The good news is that Jesus is the light who has come to the darkness with the truth so we can be free. In order to be free, we must come to know the truth about ourselves, Jesus, and true faith.

    Knowing Jesus as the Christ
    We learn from John 6 that we need to go to Jesus with the right motivations and stay there. We discover from the text a couple of unhealthy motivations for going to Jesus. Like the crowd, we often follow Jesus merely because of what He can do for us. We also learn healthy motivations for going to Jesus. Jesus doesn't merely give us what we need to be satisfied; He is the bread of life and He satisfies.

    Knowing Jesusas the Son of God
    In John 5 we see several examples from the people in the story of common myths and inaccurate views about God and how He works. We correct these myths and we are encouraged to think correctly about God, ourselves, and God’s Son. We address superstitions, healings, and man-made traditions.

    Knowing Jesus as Living Water
    In this sermon we look at John 4 and the intriguing conversation between Jesus and the woman at the well. We learn the problem is that we have both a physical and spiritual thirst. We also learn that Jesus can satisfy our thirst. Perhaps most interestingly, we learn the reason why Jesus is able to satisfy is because He experienced both physical and spiritual thirst for us. When we come to understand and believe this, we begin to experience the satisfaction only Jesus can provide.

The problem is brokenness, and the solution is that Jesus has come to redeem. We discover how Jesus provides redemption and we are encouraged to know Him more deeply as our Redeemer.

    Knowing Jesus as the Word
    In John 1 we discover our problem is that, left to ourselves, we don’t know God and we can’t know Him. The good news is that God has made Himself knowable to us. However, John tells us Jesus is the way we come to know God. We discover why Jesus is essential for knowing God.

    The Christmas Spirit
    In this Christmas Day sermon, we look at Luke’s account of Christ’s birth. Throughout the sermon series, we have been talking about the particular spirit of Christmas we see in each text. Now we discover how we see each Christmas spirit in this text: humility, joy, peace, and love. Since God has given His Son, we are encouraged to practice each of these characteristics throughout the year.
