He is here today, but we give you glory and we give you Lord our Hallelujah the highest praise that we can give you the Wii release ourselves to you. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. This is our talk in church time. We've been that we eat. We haven't done this in a while and I thought that we might do it today. What is it mean to talk in church and means that we get a chance to minister to each other a man. I was going to ask you break you up into different rooms and have a talk together with each other, but we'll do that at a different time. Here's a question that I have for each one of you we're going to take a minute and have you speak about it. But here's the question. What do you think? Is the intent or the goal of the Book of John? What do you think might be the intent or the goal or the purpose of the Book of John a man before you answer meditate on that scripture meditate on that scripture meditate when you when we go back to see all of our pictures. That's what I would like for you to give me some answers. Amen.
What's your thought?
What's your thought I'm going to unmute everybody.

I believe that John wrote the book basically.
Give Testament testimonies. blushing
covid, the price of the teaching of his gospel is what it is.
1 wise man told me The Book of Job was written for other people

Okay, this is Sandra. I've been having I've been having with my computer. I've been having black screen, but I don't see nobody and I can hear you. Can you hear me? Yes, and we can also so we can see you also I receiving I can't answer the question Instagram.
Hey, tell you what. Was the Last Supper.
And then like I said, no man, I ain't going to believe it's for the nail place in his side. So you're saying that the The Book of John is written to tell the future. All right. Amen. Amen. Welcome Adam and Candice Jane welcome. Like I can see your sound on. All right, anybody else? Anybody else? Want to try men there? I'm trying to let us know that Jesus is God and Jesus existed that is existing before Creation with God and that Jesus Took on human form and came down to earth and that he is everything that we knew he is the truth and everything.
a man John relates Jesus to not only being God. But human a man, thank you. All of you. That was wonderful. I'll always enjoy our talk in church segment a man. The word of God says the Book of John was written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the son of God and that believing you may have life and his name when you look at the beginning of John one of the things that we see always when you were writing you write a thesis you write what your purpose of writing is, there's a statement of truth that you are to to stay and you are to prove and you are to discuss throughout your writing and we see that in and of course documentary talked about the pre-existent one that he was the word in the world. With God in the world war god a man we could be I could even push married to talk about it in the creek, but I won't put it on a lance. So so this is another example that we have all the way from verse for number 1 2 verse 14 that talks about Jesus being in the flesh jumping over the Revelation real life in the Jesus and the words to sheer sheer is John statement. This book three things for rent that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the son of God and that believing you may have life in his name. If I were to pick up a sermon title today, it would be fearful to say so a man better yet show up and be a man show up and believe and we just want to change that. We're going to see in this in the in the beginning reading at Richmond Road is that they have some Jesus disciples the meaning behind closed doors. If we were to look at verse 29 will see that we don't hide behind closed doors unless you're afraid of something we are close to her hiding behind closed doors because of covid-19 not giving out in the highways and byways and so fear is respectful fear is good to be in closed doors not to get a disease. What's up can be Afraid of broaching the doorpost because of fear of dying we are to be afraid of time. You see Jesus in their spouses and making faithful disciples. Why because he is about to implement and execute his church is about to bring his church needs his disciples all to believe he needs his disciples to understand that he is the Son of God. He is the great I am the one who has the Redeemer the resurrection of a life. So he begins by comforting them letting you know bfp and then commission exam on the Holy Spirit of Palmdale getting ready for Pentecost Hallelujah.

That's when we have faulty philosophies when we are not committed when we're not loyal when we're not dedicated when we're not wanting to read scripture into prayer to end to connect to your body father. We pray father that you would help us to recognize father that we might have some salty thinking stinking socks. And then help us father to be able to increase her face wherever we are on the Continuum of Faith weather is little face or much face father. We all have room to grow its the Lord. I pray father that you would help us in Jesus name.

Now Thomas called the twin. One of the 12 was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him we have seen the Lord. So he said to them unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and put my hand into his side. I will not believe.
Call JJ's his disciples were again inside and Thomas with them. Jesus came the doors being shot and stood in the mist and said peace to you. Then. He said to Thomas. Put your finger here. And look at my hands I reach her hand here and put it into my side. Do not be an unbelieving but believing do not be an unbelieving. Stop Believing
and Thomas answered and said to him my Lord and My God Jesus Thomas because you have seen me. You have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believe and truly Jesus did many other sign. In the presence of his disciples which are not written in this book, but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the son of God. And that believing you may have life in his name. Show up. Amber Lee Thomas install to be the Quinn or the brother of Matthew and James he is thought to be a transparent pessimist rather than deposit.
be willing to go with Jesus to the cross and I Rosenstein the possibility our Resurrection We don't know a whole lot about Thomas. But we do know that. We like to call him the doubting Thomas the time Thomas that needed a little bit of proof that Jesus wore was just not enough for Thomas is Jesus word enough. Are you? Will you show up and believer? Do you need a little bit more poop? Do you need to stick your hands hands?
c4yourself where Jesus was Rob Thomas was a fearful. Where are we? And this road on this road on this journey, where are we with respect to our belief when we show up and believe it will be or will we be late and arrival in Jesus got to come?
UC faulty philosophy leaves to reluctance and a demanding requirements are stinking thinking will cause us to believe it on Troost rather than the truth philosophy will cause us to put our own rather than believing the report of the looks are felting who actively are stinking thinking or Wally freshly stuff will come close to put the man's Obama demands on his church Brothers in leaning and depending on God. How is it that Thomas stop? You see here at salty reason Thomas was absent you seen when Jesus first appear to the disciples. So he had problems believe me the report. She couldn't just believe their reports. He couldn't put his arms around something that he would allow his mind to imagine. He could put his arms around sausage Jesus suddenly appeared as sold himself and reported yesterday. He said he gets his range requirements. He said,
People that PCS and touches the requirement we have excuses after excuses after excuses of why we can't do this why we can't do this is why we can't do that. We have a long time to respond to me where the money's going to get. Come on come up before god and goddess saying to each one of us. That we need to check our face. What is it that we believe it isn't faulty thinking that's leading to faulty requirements that's causing you and I do miss the very presence of God. We want to please pray for believers. If it's Jesus That Makes Us Faithful you see there was some more stations that happened. Thomas shows up the door shut and then Jesus suddenly appears. I don't know about you, but a Jesus told him I don't need your touch him. I don't need to talk him. I don't need you.

Gloria My Heart Lord become personal to you YouTube we can call him Lord we can call him God but it doesn't necessarily mean that he's personal to us, but Thomas the twin he makes a very clear distinction controller with third-party person that's sitting on the side that was different from him yet.

We don't believe the testimony will sing and sing with their eyes are moving at the moment. You know, we haven't seen the scars on Jesus, but we have seen the manifestation of what even looks like.
