What do you think people talked about after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead? They talked about power. Believe it or not, when someone raises the dead, the power dynamics in the community drastically change. At the end of John 11, we see the power struggle of Caiaphas and learn what NOT to do. As followers of Jesus, we let our power struggle dissolve into peace in God's sovereignty. Thus, instead of holding on to tiles, control, and comfort, we give it all away. As it turns out, that's where true power was found all along.

Renovating The Storefront Property 

In 2020, we were able to buy the land right next to our church, which came with this really awesome old storefront building. Only problem is, it needs to be renovated from top to bottom. 

We need to raise $100,000 to get up and running for weekly ministry use. If you don't know, our church exists to transform our neighborhood with the gospel of Jesus. Our neighborhood is called Poe Mill in Greenville, SC. The residents are facing a lot of challenging times as, according to neighborhoodscout.com, it ranks in the top 5% for poverty out of all (ALL!) US neighborhoods. 

This Christmas season, or with your end-of-year giving, would you consider giving to us here at Griggs for this project? 

You can do this online at ⁠griggschurch.com⁠, clicking give and selecting "building fund." 

We can’t thank you enough.

Our good friend and church member Justin Bailey preaches on Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus asks his audience to move the stone of the tomb, even though it's going to cause an unpleasant odor. A question Justin asks us is, will we move stones for people even if it's less than pleasant? May Jesus use us to give dead people new life!

The shortest verse in the bible, John 11:35, says, "Jesus wept." Are you willing to follow Jesus? Even if that means crying in public? Join us as we talk about emotional health in light of the good news.

John 10:31-42

Why do some people believe and some don't? The answer may surprise you.

It doesn't come down to cold, hard facts but cold, hard hearts. In today's text, some people see Jesus' miracles but don't believe in him. Others just met him and yet call him their messiah. The difference? Their hearts.

How is your heart? Hard or soft? New or old? Believing or un-believing. The answer to this question is the most important thing about you.

"...that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God..."

Jesus said, "...Unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

That's uncomfortable to hear and uncomfortable to talk about, no doubt. But if we're following Jesus, we must come underneath his teaching, all of his teaching, and let it lead the way.

Ultimately, his teaching will lead us to a comfort - the fact that we don't have to die in our sins because he came to die for our sins. So don't die in your sins. Repent and believe that he is everything he claimed to be and did everything he came to do - including rescue us from our disastrous destination.

John writes about the most influential person in human history, Jesus Christ. He tells of his signs and teaching, revealing to us without question that he is the Son of God. John then shows us that, though it's clear Jesus is who he claims to be, not everyone reacts to him with faith and love. People respond to him in all sorts of other ways, including putting him to death. The question for us is, how will we react to Jesus? Will we come to him and find life? That's what the apostle John is hoping for us, and that's why he writes the way he does in John 7.
