Often times we view prosperity as advertised by prosperity teachers. Yes, God’s prosperity may include financial and material blessings but ultimately God prospers those who seek Him so that they may be a blessing to others by their service to Him!

1. A river lives a receiving life.

2. A river lives a giving life. 

3. An obstruction always makes the river deeper and wider.

4. A river brings forth fruit.

5. Nothing can stop a river.

Walking with Jesus ignites the passion we desire; we need!

Walking with Jesus is the answer for doubt and discouragement!

Walking with Jesus by abiding in His word opens our eyes to who He is! Confirms in our hearts that He is our Lord and Savior!

Its time we begin walking with Jesus!

Jesus and the scriptures predicted that Jesus would raise from the dead… and He did! We have a promise of hope! The promise of resurrection! This life is not all there is! And yes… there are many proofs that Jesus rose from the dead; but none greater than millions of lives that have been radically changed by the power of the gospel!

Jesus has lived 33 years here on earth; called disciples; preached, taught, healed the sick and crippled; raised the dead; loved the unloveable. Jesus had “set His face toward Jerusalem” and now He is about to enter the city. Three realities of this special day:

I. The Prophecies of the King

II. The Praise of the King

III. The Pity of the King

After 3 1/2 years of ministry; preaching, teaching, healing, compassion, love, only good; it was time for Jesus to go to Jerusalem. In our text, we'll see two truths:

I. The Determination of Jesus

II. The Distractions From Jesus

Jesus has “Great Expectations” of His true followers! He's commanded us to deny self, take up our cross and follow Jesus. Sadly, the church & pastors are responsible for making it “easy” to be a Christian - a follower of Jesus! “Easy believism”... The reality is following Jesus is not following the easy way to Heaven!

Jesus teaches clearly that true discipleship is difficult! Not the false narrative of “easy believism” being peddled today! Jesus has great expectations of His true followers! This is what the church should be teaching for those who make decisions to follow Christ! Enjoy the message.

God loves you! God loves you so much that He gave Jesus, His only son, to die in your place to pay the price for your sins! Pastor Dean shares a message from a familiar passage, John 3:16 on 3/16. We hope you enjoy the message.

In this sermon, we look at two very different individuals. A man of the law (Nicodemus) and the fulfillment of the Law (Jesus). A man who had religion and a Man who was offering a relationship. A man who exemplified the law but needed eternal life.

John 3:1-15
