John

  • The Minister’s Zeal

    It’s always an honor and a privilege to preach. Especially honored for Aaron to ask that I would give the sermon. Yes, my children fear one of three sermons tonight. But we’re really trying to keep this one shorter than usual and then the two charges. But it’s an honor to preach this message, and…

  • You Must Be Born Again

    Please turn with me in your Bible to the Gospel of John. John chapter 3. We’ll be looking together at verses 1-15, as Jesus encounters this man that many of us have heard of before, Nicodemus. John chapter 3, verses 1-15. Before we read it together, let’s pray for God to instruct our hearts. Father…

    Lord Jesus, we do come before you this evening to trust in you. Oh Lord, to place our hopes in you, to receive what you have for us in your Word and sacrament. Lord, we are grateful for the means of grace that you work through in our hearts and our minds. And I pray,…

  • Do You Love Me?

    Well, good evening, once more. If you have your Bibles, I invite you to turn to John chapter 21. As Nathan mentioned, we began this series in the upper room where Jesus foretold Peter’s denial. We moved through the crucifixion, resurrection, as well as resurrection scenes, and we’ll close it by seeing Jesus restore and…

  • Father, Glorify Your Son

    Father, here on this holy sacred night, as we think about Jesus celebrating the supper with His disciples, moving out from the upper room into Gethsemane to be betrayed, to be denied, all of this, Lord, as forerunners for Good Friday. Father, we pray that You would bless our hearts as we now gather around…

  • Hated but Helped

    Good evening, Christ Covenant. If I haven’t met you before, my name’s Zach. I’m one of the interns here. I’m not American; I’m English, as you can tell. I’m here studying at RTS. I’m very thankful to Christ Covenant. I don’t think I or my family would be here without that support and I’m thankful…

  • Abiding in the Friendly Vine

    Well, it’s good to be you this evening.  We’re continuing in our series in the upper room discourse, or fittingly the farewell discourse, in the gospel of John, and our text tonight is chapter 15, verses 1 through 17.  If you will join me there.  Listen now to the Word of God.   ““I am the…
