Today, we close out the first chapter of John's gospel as we work our way verse by verse and chapter by chapter. In this passage, we see an Old Testament connection that is significant and noteworthy because it places Jesus at two distinct places separated by hundreds of years of history. If that was not enough, two different men come to believe in God and begin their journey to follow God. 

In our last installment on John the Baptist's testimony of Jesus, we note in the  opening statement by John, "Look, the Lamb of God" There is much to unpack in that simple statement, the fact that we are looking at only five verses tells us that this last installment is rich in meaning and in significance.   

Today, we examine the Apostle John's testimony and begin to look deeper into what John the Baptist testifies concerning Jesus as the Messiah. Upon closer examination of John the Baptist we notice a man who does not speak about himself but points to Jesus. Rarely, do we see someone who endeavors to become less while he lifts up another. This is why God sent John the Baptist to go before His Son.

Evangelist Jayme Montera explains we can all look back at where we have been. However, if we are going to change, we will have to leave the comfort of where we are now. Even in the midst of pain, we are reluctant to leave where we are today. His message is one of encouragement and challenge.

Today, we have a great guest speaker, Terry Hull. He has been a Missionary in Alaska for 30 years. He shares his heart and passion for not only the people of Alaska but for all people. Terry also shares his fight and ultimate healing from cancer. 

Today, we are introduced to John the Baptist. This New Testament character reminds us that his job was to make Jesus known. We have that in common with him. We also are introduced once again to the concept that Jesus as Creator according to verse 3 of John chapter 1, Jesus has the ability to give the right for those who receive Him to become the children of God. How does Jesus do this? We give a very practical illustration of this life changing process.

Discover the profound truths woven into the Gospel of John as we unravel its theological depths. Together, we examine how the opening verses of John's Gospel lay a solid foundation against the heresies of its time, emphasizing the deity of Christ, and how it is possible to see Jesus as much more than just a man. Today, we see him as Creator God and the life and light of men. 

Today, we journey through the unique characteristics that set John's Gospel apart from the other three Gospels, including its profound simplicity and the iconic "I am" statements that reveal Jesus’ divine nature. Join us as we explore the depth of John's writing, which is both accessible and intellectually rich, and offering believers new and old a chance to deepen their faith.

In another segment, we dive into the redemptive power of God's promises and how they can transform our lives just as they did for Hannah. Learn about the transformative power of tithing and submission to God's will, drawing from personal experiences and Biblical insights. Witness how Hannah's dedication resulted in the birth of Samuel, a pivotal figure in Israel’s history, and how her journey inspires us to trust in God's plan and promises. Concluding with an uplifting call to trust in divine promises, we highlight Malachi's encouragement to bring the whole tithe and witness the abundant blessings of God. Tune in for an episode brimming with faith, hope, and inspiration anchored in the powerful story of Hannah.

Journey with Pastor Wade as he unpacks the remarkable covenant relationship between Jonathan and David, using 1 Samuel 18:1-4 as our guide. We'll explore the profound symbolism behind Jonathan’s gifts to David, and consider how these ancient but relevant acts of commitment resonate with themes of giving and stewardship. Pastor Wade introduces us to Jonathan, son of King Saul, who forms three pivotal covenants with David, starting with the gifting of his royal robe and weapons—a gesture of ultimate support and loyalty.
