Jesus: The Light of Life

Dennis McCallum

John 8:12-59

Jesus came to give light to the world but the religious leaders refused to see that Jesus was who He said He was, the Son of God who could forgive sins.  Instead of acknowledging their Savior, they picked up stones to throw at Him.

The Light of the World

John 8:12-59

Jesus came into the world because people were walking in darkness,  He came and offered the light of eternal life, but they shut their eyes.  Will you open your eyes and let His light in?

Neither Do I Condemn You

James Rochford

John 8:1-11

The Pharisees tried to put Jesus on the horns of a dilemma by dragging a woman caught in adultery before Him.  If He condemned her, He would violate Roman law, If He defends her, He breaks Old Testament Law.  Instead, He challenges the Pharisees to cast the first stone if they have no sinful involvement in this situation.

The Woman Caught in Adultery

Brian Adams

John 8:1-11

How can we experience transformation from the power of sin when the Law makes us sin more?  The Law leads to condemnation and defeat whereas grace fills and frees us to pursue a different path.  Grace brings satisfaction and the power to transform.

Failure to Discipline: The Wisdom of the World Strikes Again

Patrice McCormac

1 Corinthians 5:1-13

Church discipline is not unloving because its goal is to motivate the the one in the wrong to repent.  It is loving because it protects the integrity of the spiritual community before the eyes of the watching world.

Response

Jim Leffel

Hebrews 10:19-11:6

The writer of Hebrews is warning his listeners that if they continue to willfully reject the offer of forgiveness that Jesus extends, there is no other means of salvation.  There is only the terrifying expectation of judgment.

Introduction to the Series

Lee Campbell

1 Corinthians 1:3-9

You might say the city of Corinth was the Las Vegas of the ancient world. As Paul writes to the worldly church in Corinth, he does not start out with a rebuke for their debauched lifestyles, but with who they are in Christ. He reminds them of their amazing identity in Christ as the called out ones, that they belong to God because of Christ, and He gives us all we need because of Christ.

Leadership Lessons from David

Scott Risley

2 Samuel 23

We can learn some important lessons from King David regarding leadership, not that he was a perfect leader at all times but that he knew how to turn back to God when he failed. We can study David because he knew how to mobilize others to lead. He pointed people to God. He modeled servant leadership.

Walk in Love, Walk in Light

Brad DuFault

Ephesians 5:1-20
