Clara loves scooby doo. She loves the characters. She loves the colors. She loves the mystery. No one ever likes a mystery where the mystery is solved before the story begins. But i have done that this morning with our scripture reading. The scripture reading from John gives away the mystery. The mystery…

Proper honor of Jesus as the Passover Lamb deserves Preparation and Faith.

Before God sent His Son Jesus, He sent pictures of what Jesus would be like and what He would do. By doing this God provided us with a picture book on redemption. God did this so that when His Son did come, people might know Him, accept Him, and thus be saved. If they rejected Him, they would be without…

I don’t need to repeat news alerts or articles to tell you of tribulation. There is no time in human history that has not come with some sort of tribulation. Is there any doubt that what we call “life” is “the great tribulation”? It may get worse, but do we need it to? To call on God to save us? Can…

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he…

The idea of service as a high calling is unique to Christianity. Jesus showed us by example how a leader must be servant of all. We have a choice: the way of the Dragon, which exploits strength and power to achieve control and dominance, or the way of the Lamb, which recognises that God's power is expressed through our weakness, and frees us to serve one another. How do these contrasting approaches work in the modern world? Join us for some ideas. The video from Mrs Maisel early in the sermon can be found here: https://youtu.be/pvKe0c007Cc

Each Christmas I preach on the birth of Jesus Christ. It seems fitting because Christmas is about Him! There is always this temptation or struggle to somehow make this fresh, amazing, powerful. I’m going to leave that in God’s hands today, ( truth is I should leave it there every time .) Today I want…

The other day, I came across a podcast entitled “Does my son know you?” I was intrigued by the title. I didn’t know what it mean. “Does my son know you?” It ended up being an interview with a guy named Jonathan Tjarks. This guy, Jonathan Tjarks, is 33 years old. He’s an accomplished sports writer for…

Last week we left off in our study of John’s gospel with v. 18 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . And we asked ourselves this question, “what is John really claiming about Jesus?”. What does it mean that Jesus’ expressly…

Charlie Brown asked a question regarding the nature of Christmas: What is it all about? Linus quoted the announcement to the shepherds "keeping watch over the flock at night." The angel told them a sign of a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. A manger--appropriate place for a lamb--God's lamb. So, when, where and why the Lamb of God? Come with the Grace United crew as we explore the wonder of Christ the Lamb of God.
