Pastor George Johnson of Tuolumne Community Baptist Church

It starts with comforting words. This is personal time with Jesus and His disciples. This is also personal time for Jesus and you and me.

I hope you’re tuning in because we’re having a great time. The Gospel of John is so much more than meets

the eye.

This is the message at the sunrise service up on the mountain behind Tuolumne.

We’e at John 13. This is called the Jesus week. It starts with the Triumphal Entry and goes to the Cross. I try to explain the physical and mental stress Jesus had to be under because He understood who He was and what was happening. It was all for you and me.

The book of John this week chapter 11. I hope you’ve been following along. John has a way of understanding Jesus. He shows us that Jesus feels the pain of loss. He has suffered all things so that He can simply say I understand all that you’re going through.

Jesus makes it clear He is leading us. He is our Shepherd and we hear His voice.

Our study through the book of John has brought us to John 9. This is one of my all time favorites. There’s so much to talk about that I can’t say enough. But this is what I can say; put yourself in the place of these people who are having a hard time believing Jesus is who He says He is and this man who was blind from birth now can see. Is it really him? Then listen to the wisdom of this man who was once blind. I think you’ll enjoy this.

Jesus saves a women from being stoned(killed)

for her sin. Sounds like a good story; are you brave enough to listen? I pray it challenges you and me.

This is a turning point in Jesus’ ministry. The Feast of the Tabernacles was the setting. The question I have is should we be celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles? Let me say it like this; “a resounding YES”. The church for the most part hasn’t been teaching this. I believe that needs to change.

John Chapter 6 can be challenging. Do you really believe? Jesus was talking in the spiritual realm knowing the people were hearing in the natural mind. This was on purpose. To see who was really with Him or not. It’s a test. Where is your heart?
