Pastor Chris's sermon centers on the key message of the Gospel of John, emphasizing the purpose of John's writing: to lead readers to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and to find life in His name. The pastor begins with light-hearted reflections on bumper stickers, transitioning to a deeper exploration of John's Gospel. He highlights various encounters and miracles in John's narrative, from Jesus turning water into wine to raising Lazarus, each demonstrating Jesus as the Messiah and fulfilling Old Testament prophecies. 

Pastor Chris outlines the structure of John's Gospel, dividing it into two main sections: the "Book of Signs" (chapters 1-12) and the "Book of Glory" (chapters 13-20), with the signs underscoring Jesus's divine identity. He encourages the congregation to reread John with fresh insights, reflecting on the seven "I am" statements and the seven signs. 

The sermon concludes with a call to faith, stressing that believing in Jesus leads to true, abundant life (Zoe). Pastor Chris challenges listeners to consider their beliefs about Jesus, urging them to embrace Him as the source of eternal life and transformation, beyond mere moral improvement. The sermon ends with a prayer for faith and a reference to an upcoming baptism, symbolizing new life in Christ.
