When people think of world leaders, we imagine tailored suits, sheiks in hattahs & even ostentatious ceremonial garb as worn by late leader of Libya, Muammar Al-Gaddifi. The appearance of Jesus was anything but what the world would imagine. Join us for our sermon "The Shocking Messiah," where we'll be encouraged in the sacrifice made by our Lord & Savior!

Do you have eye trouble?  Do you know someone else who does?  Join us in John 9:1-2 to hear how "Jesus Brings Sight to the Blind."

Jesus Brings SIght To The Blind - John 9:1-12 - Steve Shipley

Increasingly, we're being nudged towards policy centered around the notion that mankind can save the planet. Even though God's Word clearly states in 1 Corinthians that "the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire". So, why would we even entertain this notion? Well, it's simple; outright control & spiritual blindness! In fact, the Pharisee's lust for control & spiritual blindness caused them to harbor prejudice when investigating the miracle of Jesus healing the sight of the blind man. Join us for our sermon, "Rejecting Testimony," from John 9:13-34, where we'll witness the motives of the spiritually blind.

It is said by some that Jesus never actually claimed to be God in the flesh. He only claimed to be a prophet of God. 
However, we see many places in Scripture, where His deity is quite obvious. Join us this Sunday, as we continue our series in the Gospel of John, where we'll find in verses 9:35-41, something amazing. We find Jesus accepting  worship from a man he healed from blindness. Only God Himself can receive worship. If Jesus was not God, this would be a direct violation of the first 2 commandments! Instead, we find here, that Jesus is “The Son of Man, Worthy of Worship”.

Who do you follow? In the age of social media, this question has many implications. Today, there's an abundance of content creators vying for our attention. They're constantly asking us to like, share, follow & or subscribe. So, who do you follow? Do you follow Jesus? Do you know the sound of His voice? If so, what does His voice sound like & where do you go to hear it? Join us for our sermon, "The Good Shepherd," from John 10:1-10, where we'll be encouraged to ONLY follow the sweet sound of salvation!

The Good Shepherd - John 10:1-10 - Matthew Niemier

Reward often requires a certain amount of risk. When taking risks, we often do so in a calculating fashion, which we do as our desired outcome isn't guaranteed. To say that Jesus "risked" His life would be an understatement. As God, Jesus couldn't risk anything, as He always knows the outcome. Join us for our sermon "The Good Shepherd pt.2" from John 10:11-21, where Jesus willingly lays down His life for His flock, as a sacrifice that a risk taker could never calculate.

Debit & Credit Card fraud are a 5 billion dollar a year industry. In the technological age, nothing is secure. Our possessions, financial data & personal information can all be stolen. However, the one thing that can never be taken away from us is eternal salvation. Our eternal destiny has been provided & secured through Jesus! Join us for our sermon "Divine Affirmation," from John 10:22-30, where Jesus affirms His deity, as well as His firm grip on our salvation.

If there is something we know well here in South West Florida, it is the power of a major hurricane. Even with advanced technology, all we can do is guess the absolute path and strength of any given storm. They seem to do whatever they want. Even so, that is still a small example, compared to the power of God. 
Join us this Sunday as we wrap up John chapter 10. Here we find the religious leaders ready to put Jesus to death. However, they could not, for it was not His time yet. Only Jesus could surrender His life. It could not be taken from Him. This is because of the “Unstoppable Purpose” of God.

Unstoppable Purpose - John 10:31-42 - Jared Novak

It's common to hear athletes give God the glory after a win. However, it's rare to hear an athlete give God the glory in the midst of defeat. As Believers, we are to give God ALL the glory in ALL circumstances. After all, He is ALWAYS at work! God receiving glory is the central theme of the "Resurrection of Lazarus". Join us for part 1 of our 3 part series, beginning with John 11:1-16.
