In this message we look a John's account of Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane where we observe a number of great lessons.

Commenting on these verses, the 18th century pastor, J.C. Ryle said, “There are things here that are hard to understand.” In this message, we spend some time explaining some of these tough passages working our way to Jesus’ great petition that the Father keep His children in the faith. Taking in this truth and seeing its powerful foundation will comfort and refresh us in God’s love.

In this incredible passage, Jesus takes us into some incredible mysteries: 1) the invisible made visible 2) the elect 3) the relationship between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility. In this passage we look at these mysteries to better understand the incarnation, election, and predestination all for God’s glory and our edification.

As we have seen, John is showing us that Jesus is most glorified at the cross. This seems counter intuitive to us. How could Jesus be glorified by hanging in humiliation and anguish on the cross? In this message Pastor Rick Anderson explains.

In this text, Jesus continues to prepare His disciples for His departure. And though they do not yet understand, they will soon see that Jesus has come to usher in a new age–the age of the New Covenant. In this message we look at and apply what Jesus’ shares during this difficult but monumental occasion.

Because Jesus has announced His departure, His disciples are filled with grief. Jesus meets His grief stricken followers with news that it is to their advantage that He departs. In this message we look closely at how Jesus’ departure inaugurates the coming of the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit will resume where Jesus’ has left off empowering the disciples to further the advancement of the Kingdom.

As Jesus' departure draws near, He prepares His disciples for His absence and what appears to be their greatest danger--falling away. In this message we take a sober look at Jesus' words to His disciples that we too may escape from the snares that could lead us astray.

In this glorious text we find transformation. God is transforming those who are joined to Christ by faith. And here we get some clear cut patterns or models in which we see how God is transforming us and what He is transforming us into. Listen in as we discuss these soul warming and empowering patterns.

In this message we look at this well known passage to see that 1) Jesus is the true vine who produces abundantly 2) Fruitfulness is not an option in the believer’s life 3) Fruitfulness is not something we can do ourselves, but is the product of abiding in Christ. What is this fruit? What is meant by abiding? Listen in as we answer these questions.

The phrase “doctrine divides” has become so popular as to almost be cliché. For years, many have advocated that we do away with doctrine. In this message, we see how unbiblical this notion is and to the contrary, we discover doctrine is a necessary ingredient in maturity.
