Crescent Church Sunday Morning Service - 2nd November 2025
Last week this series moved from Re-introducing God to Re-introducing Jesus. I let Jesus speak for Himself as we examined three places He stated clearly who He is. The first revelation to a Samaritan woman was the most shocking. Tonight we move to the most important question He asked His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” We examine the one answer He received and the difficult instructions and commands Jesus gave them that apply to all of us who say we are Christians. Does that include you?
Key Bible Verses: Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” John 4:26"I and the Father are One!" John 10:30
John already knows the Jesus of the gospels, but here he is introduced to the Son of Man in full glory. Yes, we must know the Jesus of our salvation, but we must also know the Jesus of judgment and eternal reign.

Parenting can so easily become all about behaviour. We hear ourselves all day saying things like - ‘Stop that, do this, don't forget.' But as Christian parents, we want our kids to know God personally, not just know the rules. So in this episode, I want to talk about how we can use those everyday moments when our kids need correction to disciple their hearts because we want our kids to know God's love not just obey His rules.

Do I truly believe that Jesus has all authority over this world? If so, then why am I fretting? Why am I losing sleep? Why do I have this innate need for control? Rachel Jones joins me on the podcast to talk about the day Jesus's authority was challenged in the synagogue. And the shocking events that unfolded next will convince you that this world's ultimate authority belongs—not to powerful people or evil forces, but to Jesus alone.We're looking at one of the example texts Rachel used in her new book, The Quiet Time KickStarter.

John's gospel introduces Jesus by way of His pre-incarnate glory in the first 18 verses typically referred to as "The Prologue of John". (This was our text for last week's sermon entitled: "Introducing Jesus"). The introduction of Jesus in John continues by way of testimony in verses that follow. The message of the book and John's intentions in writing are reinforced by his introduction. Later he will reveal emphatically that he himself is providing testimony (20:31) so that" ... You may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name." A primary vehicle for revelation in John's gospel is that of 151 hand testimony defined by Webster as: "A solemn declaration or affirmation made for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact." In our text today, he features the testimony of John the Baptist.
How do the Gospel writers introduce Jesus? The question of where to begin recounting the world's greatest narrative with an eternal back story would be a daunting task indeed. All 4 gospels begin in different ways providing a multi-faceted perspective on the greatest eventsI n history. The Gospel authors were keenly aware of the significance of the historical timing of the incarnation Just as Gene noted from Paul's letter to the Romans last sermon( Rom 5:6)" At the right time Christ died for the ungodly". In today's message we will seek to glean more insight on the timing of the incubation from the vantage point of four Spirit inspired witnesses.
Scripture: Revelation 1:4-8 Today is Christ the King Sunday, a day for us to pause and remember all that Jesus' life and leadership means for us today. At the very start of Revelation, John re-introduces Jesus to his readers because the world that they were living in had much uncertainty. As we face uncertainty, Jesus becomes an anchor for us. How can we introduce and re-introduce Jesus to those around us so we can all experience his stability? Connect with the Canton UMC!

Sermon on the Mount E9 – What did Jesus mean when he said he came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets? In Jesus' day, the laws from the Torah were over a thousand years old. And the Jewish people under Roman occupation weren't able to follow all of the laws perfectly, leading to countless interpretations of how the people could observe the Torah. So what made this rabbi from Nazareth's approach to the law any different? In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss Matthew 5:17-20, unpacking its historical context, most perplexing phrases, and the greater righteousness that Jesus is introducing to his listeners.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Short Recap of the Sermon So Far (0:00-3:03)Chapter 2: Interpreting the Torah in Jesus' Day (3:03-16:03)Chapter 3: The Sky and Land, the Least and the Greatest (16:03-28:14)Chapter 4: Jesus Differs from the Pharisees on Righteousness (28:14-34:27)Chapter 5: Righteousness in Matthew's Gospel Compared to Paul's Letters (34:27-40:17)Chapter 6: Introducing Jesus' Idea of the Greater Righteousness (40:17-47:18)Referenced ResourcesCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music Original Sermon on the Mount music by Richie Kohen BibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsDan Gummel is the Creative Producer for today's show, and Tim Mackie is the lead scholar.
