I Am The True Vine - John 15:1-7 by South Sub Church

I Am: The Resurrection and Life - John 11:1-44 by South Sub Church
The "I Am" statements are a series of declarations made by Jesus in the Gospel of John which underscore His divine identity and mission. Each of these statements serves not only as a reflection of His nature but also as a way of revealing how He fulfills the spiritual needs of humanity. Jesus wasn't just exercising positive self-talk when He made these bold statements. He was letting the first-century Jews, familiar with God's definition of Himself, know that He truly was God incarnate, the Messiah they were waiting for. It's important to consider that He knew who He was, and He wanted us to clearly know, too. He can't be minimized to merely our “ticket to heaven” but must be seen as our daily sustenance, our direction, our protector, our sacrificial Savior, our victory over death, our access to the Father and eternal life.

Life is full of questions. Some are trivial. “Who won the 2001 Superbowl?” Others are temporary. “Where did I put my keys?” Still others are meaningless. “Why does McDonald's sell salads?” Then are those that can be life changing. “What's the purpose of life?” Regardless of what the question are, they all rely on credible, reliable answers. It is normal (and healthy!) to have spiritual questions. The best place to find credible, reliable answers is the Bible. In this series, truths about salvation and baptism will be explored through the lens of a young man asking his own questions.

The focus of our attention and the object of our affection. It beckons us. It calls us by name. It looks so good. Yet we sit on the edge looking in. Wondering. Waiting. Will we ever experience it? What does it take to step in? Who will take us there? Joshua asked the same questions as he sat on the outside looking in. Rather than stopping short of the other side, stuck in wandering and fear, he took a step. A step of faith that changed his life. In this series, we discover how Joshua moved forward and experienced all that God for him on the other side.

Due to God's miraculous intervention Joshua and the nation of Israel have completed crossing the Jordan river. While the crossing itself is complete, God's instructions to the Israelites are not. God commands the Israelites to memorialize the occasion with stones from the river. The message is clear, our experience of God's work in our lives can be easily forgotten. Therefore, we must do the hard work to continuously remind ourselves and future generations of God's role and His character.
After forty years of waiting and wandering, God instructs Israel to cross the Jordan river and enter the land that he has promised them. There is just one problem; the river is flooding. However, through trusting in God's miraculous intervention, the people are able to cross over the river. We find ourselves in a similar position today, wanting to cross over into God's kingdom, but finding ourselves separated by the raging river of our sinfulness. Will we try to cross on our own terms, or will we trust in the miraculous intervention of Jesus Christ to make a way and allow us to cross over?

Tis the season for Christmas trees, traditions and gifts . . . but it's also the season for traffic jams, maxed out credit cards, awkward family get-togethers and sugar-crazed children (not to mention over-indulging adults). The truth is, the holidays are a little more complicated than we'd ever care to admit. Join us as we discover how this season can be one filled with joy rather than the accepted accustom of feeling overwhelmed.

Relationships are hard. In today's me-first world of instant gratification, cancel culture and no-fault divorce, it seems almost impossible to find a true love. Friendships fracture, families fight and romances fizzle. Is finding a love that lasts simply a figment of the imagination that is found is fairy-tales? Could it be that love is being looked for in the wrong places? Rather than looking outward to others for a love that endures, we need to learn to live out a love that lasts.

In Proverbs 9, Solomon presents the reader with a final appeal to be wise. The poem has two fictional women, wisdom and folly, calling out to people in the city. Ultimately, to choose the path of wisdom is to choose life, and to choose the path of folly is to choose death. In verse 10, Solomon reveals that the way to choose wisdom is to fear the Lord, which requires us to know his role and his character.
Following Jesus means pursuing a relationship with the Savior rather than observing the traditions of religion. While relationships should be natural and organic, healthy ones develop practices that lead to greater depth and intimacy. In this series, five spiritual checkpoints will be identified that can help a follower of Jesus experience fulfillment in their relationship with Jesus.

Throughout the Bible men and women have asked for, looked for and bargained for the opportunity to experience the presence of God in their lives. While many think the presence of God is a mystical aurora, it's actually an encounter that God desires all of his followers to encounter.
God sometimes asks us to push, even when it seems like nothing is happening. Torrence Jackson explains the purpose behind these moments of faith and how they prepare us for greater things. Learn to trust God in all circumstances and let your trials strengthen your faith.
Every day is full of words. Texts, calls, emails, posts, memos and more. With so much information and communication, it's difficult to know what to read, much less remember. If you knew a conversation would be the last words ever shared by someone, would it change when you read them? Would it change how you read them? And would it change what you did with their final words? Throughout his lifetime, the apostle Paul wrote a number of letters to churches and people throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. As his life drew to a close, he had a few final important words to share. He chose his words carefully as he penned his last thoughts to Timothy, a young man he loved as he would his own son.

Honoring others sounds like a noble goal, but it can be a difficult task. The attitude and actions of others often seem to get in the way. Today's sermon addresses the question, “How do you honor others when you don't feel like it?”
Pastor Keith recognized this year's graduates and challenged to continue their personal journey with God.
