John 2:1-12 Pastor Joe helps us understand the theology of Jesus' wedding miracle. When He turned the water into wine to keep the party going, there was a lot more going on than concern for wedding guests!

John 1:35-51 The handoff between John the Baptist and Jesus begins as Jesus invites some of John's disciples to "come and see." Those who do are amazed and changed as they encounter the Messiah.

John 1:19-34. All of the Gospel writers include a telling of the events surrounding John the Baptist. John is no exception. In his Gospel, John includes a "testimony" of what John the Baptist told him about the day before he introduced Jesus as the "Lamb of God" and the day of. Pastor Mike looks at this with us and challenges all who have had an encounter with Jesus to imitate John the Baptists posture and mindset.

John 1:1-18. With the help of part of an episode from The Chosen, Pastor Mike kicks off our series in John. The way John began his gospel account is unique, setting it apart from the other three gospel accounts. Pastor Mike explains why this is so significant.

If the CONTENT of disciple-making is the full gospel story, and the INTENT of disciple-making is multiplication, then what is the CONTEXT of disciple-making? Pastor Mike shows us from 2 Thessalonians 2 that disciple-making is done best in and through relationships.

After coming to the understanding that the full gospel is the CONTENT of disciple-making, we now move on to the INTENT of disciple-making - which is multiplication. Pastor Joe shows us how from the very beginning, God has intended that the gospel of the King and His Kingdom be a message that is passed on from one person to another and from one generation to the next. The gospel is a message and lifestyle that is meant to be multiplied.

The gospel of Jesus is not only about the cross and resurrection. It's about a King and a Kingdom. Pastor Mike - along with some help from Carole Wildes - puts all the pieces together and lays out for us the FULL gospel - from the beginning to the glorious ending!

Did the Apostles live and teach the same gospel Jesus lived and taught? And if so, are we living and teaching the same gospel? Pastor Mike contends that some of us may not be and continues to challenge all of us to expand our understanding of the gospel.

In order to be an effective disciple and disciple-maker, we must understand, believe, and embody the FULL gospel. Sadly, many people today only understand, believe, and embody a partial gospel, and Pastor Mike contends that this may be why the gospel has lost so much of its power. In this sermon, he helps us expand our view of the gospel by showing us the gospel that Jesus embodied and taught.

Pastor Mike launches a short, but important, follow-up sermon series to 2 Timothy called "5th Quarter." 2 Timothy is a letter written by Paul, a disciple-maker, to his disciple, Timothy. The letter contains Paul's final words to Timothy about disciple-making, and since ALL followers of Christ are called by Jesus to make disciples, Pastor Mike is sharing what he sees as the 3 essentials of disciple-making in this series - beginning with the CONTEXT of disciple-making: The Gospel. Pastor Mike challenges us today to consider if our view of the gospel is too narrow.
