As a part of our VBS Program we focused on this important and powerful verse. There's no wonder this verse is one of the most famous Bible passages.

When the leading teacher of the Pharisees come to ask Jesus some questions he's astonished to learn that to enter the kingdom he must be born again. Jesus explains what this means and why it's possible.

John goes from telling us the story of Jesus converting water into wine at a wedding to Jesus flipping over tables inside the temple. These extremes show us that John wants us to see who Jesus is- all of Him.

Jesus didn't change the water into wine because He had to, but because He could. That's generosity.

The first chapter closes with the origin story of the very first core group, the disciples. Jesus could see their past and knew their potential. He invited them to follow Him because He knew His own power to lead them into their calling.

John the Baptist is extraordinary because of the location, the manner, and the substance of his testimony.

Jesus was no man sent from God, He was God as a man.

John wrote his gospel with a simple overarching principle, he'd show us the signs that would lead us to believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God so that believing we'd have life in Jesus' name.

Easter changes everything, but Palm Sunday shows us HOW. 

The people praised Him as KING as he entered Jerusalem for Passover. Then he went to die on the cross where (as a slight to the Jews) even the Romans labeled Him King of the Jews.

The throne was His, but He walked past it to the cross. He deserved a crown but He wore the thorns.

He did not die as a mere martyr or a fallen King.

That’s how Easter changes EVERYTHING.

Pastor James Bullock was brutally attacked and stabbed by 2 men. This tragic event triggered PTSD, depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. All of this eventually put James in a Psychiatric Hospital. However, God brought the light back into his life and he shares with us how God moved in a mighty way in his life. To wrap up our Break the Silence series, we invited him to speak on the subject of depression.
