    "Come and see." - Jesus These simple words changed lives 2000 years ago, and they're still transforming hearts today. John's Gospel shows us that true discipleship isn't just about believing - it's about bringing others to Jesus. Like Andrew and Philip, we're called to invite those around us to experience Christ's love firsthand. Remember: • Faith isn't a lifestyle choice, it's life-changing • God's ways are higher than ours - trust His plan • Encountering Jesus leads to bold declarations of faith Are you ready to "come and see" what Jesus can do in your life? And who will you invite along on the journey? #Faith #Discipleship #JesusTransforms #ComeAndSee #GospelOfJohn

  • John 1: 19-34

    John 1: 19-34
    Sep 2 2024
    In this exploration of John 1:19-34, we delve into the profound significance of John the Baptist's role in preparing the way for Jesus Christ. We're reminded that John, though a pivotal figure, humbly rejected comparisons to the Messiah, Elijah, or Moses. Instead, he embraced his divine calling as the 'voice crying in the wilderness.' This teaches us the importance of recognizing our own unique purpose in God's plan, however seemingly small. The passage beautifully illustrates the transition from the Old to the New Testament, with John serving as the spiritual bridge. As we reflect on John's words, 'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,' we're invited to contemplate the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice and its universal implications for humanity's redemption. This message challenges us to examine our own faith and readiness to recognize and follow Jesus in our daily lives.

We're reminded that Christ's glory is paradoxically revealed not just in miracles, but in His suffering and crucifixion.

    1 Peter 2:18-3:12, Obedience Brings Blessings
    Aug 24 2024
    ‌Slavery in the First Century is a diverse and multi-faceted topic. ‌It is imperative that we examine Scripture through the lens of the WRITERS and not our current world view. The Greek and Roman Empires set their entire economic systems on this practice. ‌It’s estimated that, in the Roman Empire, 1/3 of the total urban population were slaves. ‌Slavery then was meant, not as a lifetime obligation, but, quite often, as a means to an end. For one to serve as a slave in a Roman Citizens home was an effective way to gain citizenship for one-self.

    Suffering for Jesus is NOT a popular topic. It wasnt 2,000 years ago and it hasn't gotten any more popular. But Peter teaches us that there is a greater reward in store for those who face great trials and tribulations in Christs name. Not always in this life but a Promise from God in eternity
