We make a return visit to John chapter five today, and see what it takes to pass from death unto life. Jesus promised to the one who hears His Word and believes in the one who sent Him, that they will have eternal life. That is a promise just as real here in the 21st century as it was when it was first uttered nearly 2,000 years ago.

Pastor Ed Taylor is leading us through the Gospel of John right now, and we’ll pick things up in chapter five at verse sixteen today.

Stirred by the memory of our founders and of our Lord, we’ll discover the value and blessing of giving today.
