This is the concluding message of our Embody conference for the church in the city. It is also the next installment in our series on the Gospel of John: Come and See. We are sent like Jesus. This sermon explores what that means, the context in which this takes place, and God's provision for this calling on our lives.

What does it mean to occupy a space in the City as a living, dynamic image of new creation in Christ? Jesus has given us three gracious invitations that are designed to help us with this task. Each invitation from Jesus is uniquely interrelated with at least one of the three movements of incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection.

The resurrection is an amazing event, but what does it mean? What is its significance? This Easter Sunday sermon explores these questions through John's account, helping us to consider the implications of the resurrection with regard to Jesus's person, work, and world.

From beginning to end, John's gospel is about the kingship of Jesus. That becomes especially clear as Jesus enters Jerusalem, is betrayed, arrested, tried and crucified. He is no an ordinary king and this is no ordinary kingdom. This sermon explores Jesus's redefinition of kingship through the triumphal entry and the passion narrative, and it examines the moment of his enthronement on the cross.

As his hour arrives, in some of his last public words in this gospel, Jesus teaches us that the way of the cross is central to his life. This way not only defines his life, but it is to define the lives of his followers as well. This sermon considers the way of the cross and then examines three dimensions of that way, three effects of that way, and the invitation to that way that are found in this text.
