This past Sunday in John 6:1-14 we looked at the feeding of the 5000. A crowd of thousands witnessed an incredible miracle. But they missed the point. They wanted what Jesus could give them, they didn’t want Jesus himself. In fact, we all do that. But Jesus came to give us something far greater than a miracle. He came to deal with our greatest problem.
He Wrote of Me – John 5:30-47
In this week’s message from John 5:30-47, we look at the evidence Jesus puts on the table for the religious leaders who refused to believe him.

Your Greater Need – John 5:1-18
A man gets healed after 38 years of being unable to walk, and the religious leaders are furious. How does that happen?

More Than a Healing – John 5:1-18
John 5 brings to a scene in Jerusalem where Jesus, surrounded by a multitude of the sick, blind, and paralyzed, approaches one man who has been an invalid for thirty-eight years. Jesus heals him on the spot, but You might be surprised to find out this passage isn’t mainly about physical healing. As we begin digging into John 5:1-18 together, we’ll see that the physical healing Jesus performed pointed to something far greater, the spiritual healing that every one of us desperately needs.
He Believed – John 4:43-54
What does it really mean to believe in Jesus? In this message from John 4:43–54, we meet a desperate father who comes to Jesus looking for a miracle, and leaves with something far greater.

Because of His Word – John 4:39-42
How does God actually bring people to saving faith in Jesus Christ? That’s the question we’re going to answer as we look at John 4:39-42.

My Food Is to Do His Will – John 4:31-38

Everyone is surprised except Jesus. As we look at this passage we’ll discover important truths about how Jesus works to bring people to saving faith, truths that should encourage us greatly as we think about how God is still working today in the hearts and lives of sinners.
