Competition vs. Faithfulness
John 3:22-30 In John the Baptist we find an example of humility, contentment, a Christ-focus, and trust in God’s sovereignty. -
Two Loves
John 3:19-21 Spiritually speaking, people either love darkness (sin and error) or love light (Christ and truth). Those who love the darkness, which means they reject Christ, will face eternal judgment and condemnation; those who love the light, which means they trust in Christ, have joy and the promise of eternal life. -
God’s Love for the World
John 3:16-18 It is God’s pity and compassion for lost mankind that is the basis for Him sending His one-of-a-kind Son on His redemptive mission. -
The Great Change
Ephesians 5:8-10 God rescued us from our darkness and made us light in Christ—and that demands a change in lifestyle. -
The Proof of the New Birth
John 3:9-15 Genuine trust in Christ as Lord and Savior is the evidence that someone has been regenerated by God. -
The Miracle of the New Birth
John 3:1-8 God alone is able to give life to a spiritually dead person—and this is what we all need in order to be in God’s kingdom. -
Living in a Pagan World
Ephesians 5:3-7 We not only have positive commands to follow as we grow in Christ—we also must intentionally choose to avoid sins that the world dismisses as insignificant issues. -
Dubious Disciples
John 2:23-25 Not all belief in Jesus is an expression of true saving faith. And Jesus knows the difference. -
Zeal for the Father’s House
John 2:12-22 Christ exemplifies the necessity of genuine reverence for God in worship, and as well confirms that He Himself is the fulfillment of all that the Old Testament Temple represented. -
The Joy of Christ’s Kingdom
John 2:1-11 Jesus’ first miracle—transforming water into wine at a wedding—pictures the transition from the incompleteness of the old covenant to the joy of the new covenant.
