In this week's message, we dove into one of the most famous passages of John 12, telling of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Through this message, we are reminded of our great need for the Messiah.

Diving into chapter 12 of the Gospel of John, we see Jesus at a meal with Mary, Martha, Lazarus and the disciples. In this week's message, we look at five things we often cherish above Christ, but should not.

In this week's sermon, we see in the closing verses of John 11, the stark contrast between those who chose to trust in Jesus following the raising of Lazarus and the fear-driven plot of the religious leaders to kill him.

Looking at verses 28-44 in John 11, we see Jesus fulfilling the claim he made in the previous verses that He is the resurrection and the life by raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus is the great teacher of life and how we are to live and in these verses we will learn more about those truths.

This week, we dive into the 5th of the 7 great "I Am" statements, hearing Jesus declare that He is the Resurrection and the Life. A key understanding is that the resurrection is not merely an activity, but a person in Jesus Christ.

Continuing in the story of Lazarus and his resurrection from John 11:7-16, we see the tension between the humanity of the disciples and the divinity of Jesus. Through this miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead, the disciples' faith is strengthened.

This week's sermon begins our time in the well-known story of the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. Reading in John 11:1-6, we learn more about suffering in our lives and dive into some of the reasons God allows it.

Chapter 10 in the Gospel of John comes to a close with Jesus declaring to the Jewish leaders that "the Father is in me and I am in the Father". This is one of the clearest statements made by Jesus in the New Testament, pointing to his Deity.

Reading in John 10:22-30; we hear Jesus continue to explain to the Jewish crowd that He is the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep. Closing the passage, Jesus again repeats His declaration that He and God the Father are One.

Continuing through our verse-by-verse study of the Gospel of John, we pick back up in chapter 10, verses 11-21 where we hear Jesus declare the 4th of His great "I am" statements - "I am the Good Shepherd."
