Pastor Gary Combs continues the 4-week series “Evangelium: What the Gospel Is… And Isn’t” with this message from John 3. This message shows how the encounter between the religious Pharisee named Nicodemus and the Lord Jesus reveals the distinctive nature of the gospel contrasted with religion. Because while religion attempts to work from the outside-in, the gospel does its work from the inside out. Or as Jesus told Nicodemus, “You must be born again.”

Pastor Gary Combs concluded the 6-part sermon series entitled “Loving Our Jerusalem” with this Palm Sunday message from John about how to tell the story of God’s love. This message is a powerful explanation of the gospel for the one seeking to believe. It is also an excellent training message for those who would learn a simple way to share the gospel.

Pastor Gary Combs continues the series entitled “Healthy for Life” with this message from John 8:23-32 on the importance of growing up and being mature in our believing. If healthy things grow and if Jesus grew in wisdom, then Christians should be growing in wisdom, in knowledge and understanding too. In other words, as we follow Jesus, we can grow up to maturity in Christ’s wisdom.

How Jesus answered Pilate’s questioning. Pilate’s response: “What is truth?” We live in a relativistic age that questions the idea of absolute truth too. But those who “love truth” will see the truth revealed in Jesus.

Christians are not called to imitate Christ. They are called to abide in Him, so that His life is manifest in theirs. Our effort is not to do Christlike things, but to tenaciously cling to the Vine, so that His life flows through us to produce spiritual fruit.

Wake up sleeper. Come into the Light and walk no longer in darkness. Jesus is the Light of the world. Wake up!

Others may not understand, but Jesus defends the one who expresses extravagant and sacrificial love to Him.
