Not Self-Improvement (John 3:1-21)

24/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Many people have made up their minds about who Jesus is and how you gain eternal life. Nicodemus comes to Jesus seemingly open to learn, but he begins by telling Jesus what he has decided about Jesus. He has decided to approach Jesus as a teacher. Jesus responds by telling Nicodemus that he needs to be ‘born again.’ What does Jesus mean?

Not an Institution (John 2:13-22)

17/1/2021

People often say they don’t believe in organised religion. There are some good reasons for that and at first glance it seems that Jesus is against organised religion when he clears out the temple precincts. On closer inspection we discover Jesus is concerned to reform the Temple and ultimately to replace it with something better.

God is not a kill-joy (John 2:1-12)

10/1/2021

Picture
Many people dismiss Christianity as a root into puritanical joylessness, with lots of rules and regulations designed to stop you having fun. Yet, in John chapter 2, we find Jesus at a wedding celebration turning water into wine. Not only is Jesus keeping the fun going, but this sign points to deeper truths about the eternal joy that God longs to give us.

Picture
The first in our series on encounters with Jesus in John's gospel. This sermon preached at the beginning of 2021 looks at the question 'What do you want?'

​We see Andrew and another (could it be John the writer of the gospel?) encountering Jesus for the first time.

Picture
Jesus performs an amazing sign, feeding 5,000 with one pack lunch. But, what does the sign mean? What does Jesus mean when he says he is the 'Bread of Life'?

Jesus tells his disciples that it is better if he goes away. How can that be? Because then He can send the Holy Spirit on us. So, what has the Spirit come to do?

Mary Magdalene (John 20:11-18)

8/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Mary Magdalene is a popular figure in fiction and films. Yet the Bible says very little about her. In Luke's gospel we are told that she was one of the group that travelled around with Jesus and had had 7 demons cast out of her (Luke 8:1-3), but other than that we are only told that she was one of the first to see the empty tomb and resurrected Jesus.

​In John's account we are given a very touching account of Mary meeting the resurrected Jesus for the first time. Her tears are turned to joy, but can we find the same joy and hope from the resurrected Jesus today.

Water of Life (John 4:5-26)

We all need water to drink. More importantly we need clean water to avoid becoming ill.

​As Jesus gets into a conversation with a woman at a well he offers her 'living water'. But he is not talking about physical water, but about something far more important!
