John | The Escalation | November 30

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Michael Bailey on November 30, 2025.

Key scripture: John 11:45-12:11

The raising of Lazarus set in motion the chain of events that would escalate to Jesus’ crucifixion. In John 11:45-12:11, John shows us the responses to Jesus become increasingly polarized. The Pharisees see him as a threat and plot to kill him. Mary sees him as worthy of worship and anoints him with costly perfume. The same tension exists for us. Will see respond to Jesus as a threat to what we hold dear, or worthy of it all?

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Ant Frederick on August 17, 2025.

Key scripture: John 1:1-5, 14 & 20:30-31

The book of John is a firsthand account from one of Jesus’ closest friends—someone who walked with Him, heard His voice, saw His miracles, stood at the cross, and ran to the empty tomb — so that “you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (John 20:30).

At its heart, the Gospel of John invites us not only to know the facts about Jesus but to encounter His love in a way that changes how we see ourselves, our purpose, and the world around us.
