To this day, Jesus continues to draw followers to Himself in the same ways He drew His first disciples.

John the Baptist declares what John the apostle argues throughout his Gospel: Jesus is the Lamb of God that will defeat all sin.

Like John the Baptist, we are able to know who we are and who we are not because we know who Jesus is.

Those who believe in the finished work of Jesus experience a well of abundant grace that never runs dry.

The Gospel of John shows us that we are dependent upon God to help us believe in the name of Jesus and become His children.

In the first five verses of the Gospel of John, we learn the nature of Christ and how true life is found in His Name.

We are commissioned by Jesus to make disciples: people who are adopted by God, being formed by God and empowered by God for life and mission.

When the gifts of the Spirit are used in the proper order, under right authority and with true clarity, they serve to remind the body of Christ the gospel’s first importance.

In pursuing manifestations of the Spirit, we should strive for excellence in building up the Church.

The gift of prophecy is given to the Church for the building up, encouragement and consolation of the body of Christ in love.
