Sermons on John
Light and Dark
Darkness and light is one of the most prominent themes in the Bible. There is such a sharp contrast between the two. In Genesis 1:1, God created the heavens and the earth but there was still the issue of darkness. The first adjustment God made on Day One of Creation’s week was to create light and eliminate complete darkness. When Jesus identifies himself as “The Light of World,” he’s making a bold statement about what he does to eliminate the…
A Message from Our Good Shepherd
Sermon Text: John 10 How come the picture God paints in the Bible of the shepherd – sheep relationship is so comforting and relaxing? Very few people are even familiar with the occupation of looking after sheep. Why do we love it so much? Why is it so special? St. Paul’s invites you to join us for worship at 9:30 am this Sunday. We’ll get to the bottom of why that picture provides so much security, safety and strength.
Thomas!
Sermon Text: John 20:19-31 What’s the first word that comes to mind when hearing the Bible name Thomas? Probably “doubter,” or “doubting.” 100% of the time, right? That’s unfortunate! Because of that one event on Easter evening, Thomas gets labeled for life. The Gospel for the Sunday after Easter is traditionally Jesus’ encounters with his disciples in the upper room one week apart. This Sunday, after hearing another side to Thomas, you probably won’t completely change your mind about Thomas,…
Living Water
Sermon Text: John 4 Water is vital for our physical well-being. A person can’t survive long without it. “Living Water” is something Jesus talked about in our lesson this weekend. A soul can’t survive long with it, either. Join us so you can hydrate your soul on Jesus’ “Living Water.”
Milestones
Young Christians wearing white gowns with red stoles and a red carnation! It must be Confirmation Sunday at St. Paul’s!

And, they’ll receive the Lord’s Supper for the forgiveness of their sins and the strengthening of the faith they’re professing. What an exciting time for them and for God’s people. Celebrate this milestone in their young…
Christ the King
You can also watch on our Vimeo page. Last weekend we stood in a courtroom and heard the “Judge’s” gavel slam down as he spoke the verdict “Not Guilty!” This weekend we find ourselves in a throne room and listen to a “King” express his deepest desire that we join him as citizens of his kingdom. Join us at St. Paul’s this Sunday and find out how this is not just possible, it is a reality. Sermon Text: John 18:33-37

Miracles Do Happen
You can also watch on our Vimeo page. Sermon Text: John 5:1-15 Without a single session of PT, or months in rehab, Jesus healed a man with this 8-word command: “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” This man, who hadn’t been able to use his legs for 38 years, immediately did what he was told. He picked up his old bed, tucked it under his arm and walked down the street, without the slightest limp. What’s the…
