Caught By God
John 21:1–14. Andrew Knight looked at John 21 to see three main points—1. Jesus appeared to give you power and peace. 2. Jesus appeared to equip you to feed his sheep. 3. Jesus appeared to make you a fisher of men.
The God Who Appears
John 20:19-29. At Easter, we see that God does more than we can ask or imagine. And as we come out of Easter, we see that God is the God who appears to his people.
Advent: Love
John 3:16. This Christmas, I pray you see in John 3:16 the amazing love of God, embodied in Jesus Christ, for you. God’s love is central and foundational to our faith and is not an old topic to just pass over. John 3:16 takes us directly to God’s love, but additionally, John 3:16 is packed with so many other amazing statements in such a short verse. God. The World. His Son. Whoever. Belief. Perishing. Eternal Life. It is not just the fact that God loves us that is amazing, but all the aspects that accompany this love.
Compassion
John 6:1-15. We have been going through our Table Rock priorities, and today, we are talking about compassion. We have defined Mutual Care, which we talked about previously, as the church caring for each other. Now we are going to talk about Compassion, which extends the church’s reach into the community. We want to serve others in such a way that as they receive the gifts, they feel the call, not to love the gift, but to love the giver of all great gifts—Christ.
