The Light of the World

James Rochford

John 8:12-59

The perils of denying the Light of the World are judgment, loss of freedom and a darkened mind. For those who have an open mind and receive the Light, they have forgiveness, regained freedom and an enlightened mind.

Jesus: The Light of Life

Dennis McCallum

John 8:12-59

Jesus came to give light to the world but the religious leaders refused to see that Jesus was who He said He was, the Son of God who could forgive sins.  Instead of acknowledging their Savior, they picked up stones to throw at Him.

The Bread of Life

Brian Adams

John 6:22-69

Jesus offers the bread that never spoils.  The crowds wanted earthly bread but Jesus wanted to give them something much better, eternal life.

I AM the Bread of Life

James Rochford

John 6:15-71

James explains why the people desired to follow Jesus and why they stopped following Him.  They desired their temporal needs fulfilled but Jesus desired to meet much bigger needs, eternal needs.

I Am the Bread of Life

Scott Risley

John 6:25-69

Jesus asked the the crowd why they were there and were they hungry.  The crowd was hungry for regular bread and wanted to see a miraculous sign, but Jesus wanted to give them the bread of life so that He could fill the God-shaped hole in their lives.

Testing the Claims of Jesus

James Rochford

John 5:31-40

Predictive prophecy is a powerful witness to the validity of the  outrageous claims of Jesus.  With a little bit of studying Scripture, one can discern that the ninth chapter of the book of Daniel accurately predicts the year the Messiah would be killed.  Jesus died on the cross the very year that Daniel predicted hundreds of years earlier.

Do Good People Go to Heaven?

James Rochford

John 3:1-18

Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born both of water and of the spirit to go to heaven.  He must be born again.  Nicodemus is astonished that all his good credentials are not enough to qualify him for heaven.  He must put his faith in Jesus to be saved.

Describing the Indescribable

Rosy Talarzyk

1 Corinthians 2:16

The book of Revelation talks about many indescribable events that are supernaturally empowered. It describes a cosmic war and suffering on a scale never before seen. Yet, it is a book of profound hope. Jesus overcomes the world. We, as His followers, are also overcomers and receive amazing rewards. In God's mercy, everyone is given an invitation to join Him in overcoming. May everyone "Who has an ear, let him hear" this invitation and accept it.

"Who Do You Say that I Am?"

Conrad Hilario

Mark 8:27-37

When first confronted with who Jesus is, one must make a few decisions. The first is do you believe Jesus is God's Savior? This is a personal, significant and polarizing decision. The second decision is will you entrust and devote your entire life to Jesus and His message? To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, to give up yourself for Jesus, you will find your true self and gain Jesus and everything else thrown in.
