John 6:22-40 / Why do you seek Jesus? In our story the multitudes venture to find Jesus, and when they discover him in Capernaum, Christ confronts them and reveals their true motives. What we find is that they were more interested in having their hunger satisfied than they were in having their souls satisfied. Join us as we ask ourselves hard questions about what motivates us to find Jesus? Do we desire to serve him or would we prefer he bless and serve us?

John 6:15-21 / After the large crowds and excitement, Jesus and his disciples are ready for a break. As Jesus retreats to the mountains to rest and pray, he sends his disciples across the sea of Galilee with the intention that they meet him in Bethsaida. As the disciples sail, they find themselves in a storm that has them afraid and fighting for their lives. In our greatest moments of trial and fear we often forget all the miracles that Christ has done; we forget that he sees, he hears and he knows.

John 6:1-14 / Jesus and the disciples find themselves back in Galilee, but this time a crowd of five thousand people have gathered together to hear him teach. But the multitude began to grow hungry and they need a plan for feeding them. As Jesus engages with his disciples over this matter, we observe a series of character qualities that not only make Christ spectacular in his kindness, but teach us invaluable principles for ministry and leadership.

Hear how God used the Spring Retreat in the lives of our growing leaders.

John 5:25-45 / In this study, Jesus continues his line of argument against the Jewish leaders who were enraged that he made himself equal with God the Father. Jesus provides us with a proclamation of his deity as well as an thorough apologetic. We listen to Jesus as he not only declares his power and authority, but provides four witnesses to his divine identity

Acts 10

What do we do when God changes our plans?

John 5:18-24 / After Jesus healed the certain man on the Sabbath, many of the religious leaders were upset, but that alone was not enough to stoke their desires to kill him; the Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus because he claimed he was God. In our study, we are going to look at the scriptural evidence that Jesus was who he said he was, Jehovah - the existing one. We are going to also look at the specific claims that he makes and unpack what they mean for the world, but also for us as forgetful Christians.

John 5:1-17 / Jesus once again returns to Jerusalem for a feast celebration. While there he comes across a multitude of people with severe ailments waiting by an ancient pool, hoping in the second hand promises of a miracle. Jesus engages with a certain man who is unable to walk, and calls him to receive healing - and he does! This certain man receives such a wonderful gift, but responds to that blessing in a very peculiar but unsurprising way.

Acts 9:10-19

In this message we study Ananias’ reaction to getting a call on his life to reach Saul of Tarsus. From this interaction we learn how disciples of Jesus Christ must have total faith in their Lord to answer when he calls and how if this is done in obedience, we can trust that God will do something wonderful.

John 4:46-54 / Upon Jesus’ return to Cana, a man seeks him in desperation. He has heard that Jesus is capable of great miracles and in his hour of need decides to leave his dying son’s bedside to find Jesus and ask for his mercy. When Jesus meets him, he challenges the motivations of his request. The result of their interaction is a story of God’s grace and how faith grows when we choose to rely on the promises of Christ.

John 4:31-45 / Jesus knew his mission. Christ had devoted his faith, his time and his energy into doing exactly what the Father asked - and it was deeply satisfying to him. The twelve disciples on the other hand, they were just getting started; they were easily distracted and often misunderstood the goals of their work. In this sermon, we listen as Christ helps correct their temporal thinking and gives them eyes to see just how fulfilling it can be to labor in the fields of the Lord.

John 4:1-30 / Jesus had an appointment to get to; regardless of the pressure from his friends, the inconvenience of his journey and the cultural lines he had to cross, Jesus had a woman he needed to meet. When he arrived he delivered a message that would change everything about her life and impact everyone she knew.

Today, we will dive into the Bible to learn about God’s heart for the nations and the stranger, and how that should impact our perspective towards them. 

John 3:22-36 / A group of religious Jews and a handful of John the Baptist’s disciples came to him to inquire about his ministry in relation to Jesus. They sought to inquire about the possibility of contention between John and Jesus. John graciously instructs them on the doctrine of salvation through Christ, but also what it means to be humble in ministry.

John 3:8-21 / A Pharisee named Nicodemus seeks Jesus to inquire about spiritual matters and Jesus provides him with four illustrations to help him understand the salvation that he brings. John chapter 3 helps us to fully understand the gravity of the gospel message and what it means for our souls.
