Let's Get Wholly! (Jesus meets the religious leaders)
The religious leaders will meet the Savior n John 5 and learn that he brings healing (wholeness). Jesus demonstrates how God Himself workd. The problem is: Jesus shows us how God works on a day devoted to "rest." Are we OK with Jesus breaking the Law in order to heal? Then again, wasn't this the very reason for the Sabbath -- for God's people to become whole?! (Apologies for the poor recording this week!)

Real Temple Judaism (Jesus meets Israel)
After his public debut at a wedding, the first sign of Jesus was rather subtle (though glorious). Now Jesus will reveal himself at the epicenter of Jewish life -- the temple (and he shakes up the place!) What was Jesus doing there? Why did good Jews like the disciples accept it?

Vintage Wedding (What Jesus' mission would accomplish)
Jesus' first sign is at a wedding. Why? Because there was some mismanagement of the celebration, or of something else? How does this seemingly innocuous miracle become the best description for what Jesus will do for Israel and the Church?

From the Fire (The restoration of Peter)
John concludes his Gospel with another post-resurrection appearance. This time, it is specifically for Peter. For John, it is important for Peter to be reconciled to Jesus. Peter's name has something to do with "unshakeable faith," but could Peter continue as a church leader, announcing freedom from sin and death through Christ, if he had no intimate knowledge of what that was? Jesus brings Peter back to some past experiences to point him to a future mission.

The Point and Purpose (Thomas should doubt his doubts)
Another post-resurrection account is needed to bring peace. However there is a skeptic who needs to doubt his doubts. How gracious that Jesus comes to meet Thomas! It leads to the most profound statement of faith! It is the point and purpose of the whole gospel!

Meeting the Gardener (Mary meets the resurrected Jesus)
The Gospel of John is rich with theological content (Yet filled with historic detail!). This Resurrection Sunday sermon focuses on a meeting at the Garden Tomb and the Gardener who is able to take us to paradise. "I walk in the garden alone...?" NOT!

The Crowds (Palm Sunday)
The crowds welcome Jesus into Jerusalem. But who was in that crowd and what did they really want? Should the church be pleased to have crowds even if they do not want was Jesus wants?

John, Chapter 9: A Man Born, Blind
A man born blind meets the Savior. He is healed and has a testimony about Jesus. However, even though a miraculous sign has occurred, everyone remains blind to its significance -- even after thoroughly investigating the incident, everyone refuses to “see the light,” except the man born blind!
