Cross of Grace Church Sermons

How can the blind gain sight? How can the spiritually blind come to see? In this story of the healing of a blind man in John 9, we see that the Light of the World brings salvific sight to those who confess they are spiritually blind, and judgment to those who claim they are not.

What does the nature of the human will look like before Jesus steps in? In John 8:31-59, Jesus shows us that the unbeliever is a helpless slave to sin, and instructs us to abide in the eternal Christ, who alone can free the slave and help the helpless.

Why should we seek the lost with the good news of Jesus Christ? Guest preacher Jim Donohue gives us five reasons from Luke 14:12-24, showing us that God has a great desire to fill his house. And because of this, we should compel people to come in.

When light shines, it always either attracts or repels. In John 8:12-30, we see the Light of the World shining, and people being repelled by it. In this conversation, Jesus shows us that the Light of the World gives life to those who follow him, and judges those who do not.

Who is Jesus? And what does he have to say about his own identity? In John 7:25-52 we learn that Jesus, as the promised Christ sent from heaven and now returned to heaven, pours out the promised Holy Spirit on all who come to him.

How should we respond to the authority Jesus seems to have? In John 7:1-24, Jesus is rejected by two groups of people for two different reasons. But in their rejection, we learn that Jesus’ authority comes from God the Father, and therefore his teaching must be received.

Is there any type of satisfaction we can find that actually lasts? In a tense conversation with an unbelieving crowd in John 6:22-71, Jesus teaches us that God has graciously provided the eternally satisfying bread of Jesus Christ for us to eat by faith.

What are you afraid of? Is there anything that you should be afraid of? In John 6:16-21, the disciples see Jesus walking on the water and are frightened. But Jesus shows them and us that the One we should be afraid of stills our fears with Himself.

Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000 is a miracle that is included in all four gospels. So what does the Apostle John want us to learn from it? Listen to Mike Nixon preach on this miraculous event, helping us to worship the right Jesus for the right reason.

What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ prove? In this Easter sermon on Romans 4:25 from Pastor Adam, we see that the resurrection is the proof of Christ’s finished work of redemption.
