Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist The Story of the Martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist The drunken oath of a king with a shallow sense of honor, a seductive dance and the hateful heart of a queen combined to bring about the martyrdom of John the Baptist. The greatest of prophets suffered the fate of so many Old Testament prophets before him: rejection and martyrdom. The “voice crying in the desert” did not hesitate to accuse the guilty, did not hesitate to speak the truth. But why? What possesses a man that he would give up his very life? This great religious reformer was sent by God to prepare the people for the Messiah. His vocation was one of selfless giving. The only power that he claimed was the Spirit of Yahweh. “I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Matthew 3:11). Scripture tells us that many people followed Saint John the Baptist looking to him for hope, perhaps in anticipation of some great messianic power. John never allowed himself the false honor of receiving these people for his own glory. He knew his calling was one of preparation. When the time came, he led his disciples to Jesus: “The next day John was there again with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God.' The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus” (John 1:35-37). It is John the Baptist who has pointed the way to Christ. John's life and death were a giving over of self for God and other people. His simple style of life was one of complete detachment from earthly possessions. His heart was centered on God and the call that he heard from the Spirit of God speaking to his heart. Confident of God's grace, he had the courage to speak words of condemnation, repentance, and salvation. Reflection Each of us has a calling to which we must listen. No one will ever repeat the mission of Saint John the Baptist, and yet all of us are called to that very mission. It is the role of the Christian to witness to Jesus. Whatever our position in this world, we are called to be disciples of Christ. By our words and deeds, others should realize that we live in the joy of knowing that Jesus is Lord. We do not have to depend upon our own limited resources, but can draw strength from the vastness of Christ's saving grace.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into John 21:15-25 where Jesus restores Peter after his failure by reaffirming his love, recommissioning him to care for Christ's people, and calling him again to follow even when discipleship will ultimately cost him his life. Peter then shifts his attention toward John and asks about his future, revealing how easily comparison can distract us from our own calling.

This message explores the relationship between Jesus and John looking at the last verses from the gospel he wrote. After a guest appearance from the man himself, Andrew Mayne explores the relationship between three men - Jesus, John, and Peter and helps us to understand the dangers of comparison. To invitation to us from Jesus is simply, 'Follow me.'

Uflourish Church elder Ed Wade takes us through John 10, where Jesus refers to himself both as the shepherd and the door for the sheep. He challenges us, just like the sheep in Jesus' story, to listen only for his call among the many voices in the world, and to trust that he lays down his life to protect the flock. When we face troubles, we know that we're still surrounded by the protection and promises of God, and he will see us through those things on our way to everlasting life with him in heaven.

Many knew Him simply as the man called Jesus (John 9:11), but who is He really? The One who gave sight to the blind, strength to the helpless, and hope to the hopeless is the same Man who gave Himself as a ransom for all. Though the world saw only a man crowned with thorns, God revealed Him as the Saviour of sinners. Come and hear the wonderful story of the Man called Jesus and discover why He is still the answer to mans greatest need. The post The Man Called Jesus appeared first on Preachers Corner.

Many people respect Jesus. Even non-Christian religions acknowledge that he was enlightened, or a prophet, or a great moral teacher. But Jesus won't let us get away with that. To take Jesus seriously, and to receive the gift of salvation he offers us, we have to wrestle with his radical claims. In this message, Judah Helland, a lay preacher from Olalla, WA, unfolds the claims Jesus makes about himself in John 8, challenging us to wrestle with whether we're really willing to believe and obey them.

Three Questions- What love does? Who we are to Jesus? Why we were chosen? What Love Does- John 15:12-13 Love one another as I have loved you. Whose good is costing you something? If our love never costs us anything it doesn't resemble the love Jesus Describes here Who we are to Jesus- John 15:14-15 […]

As Jesus' earthly ministry comes to its close, John's Gospel shifts our attention from the cross to two unlikely disciples who finally step into the light. Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus had once followed Christ cautiously, but the crucifixion became the moment that transformed fear into bold faith. In this message from John 19:31–42, we'll contrast the empty religion of hypocrisy with the sincere devotion of those who openly identify with Christ, explore the remarkable fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in His death and burial, and be challenged to ask whether our lives are marked by hidden compromise or courageous allegiance to the Savior.

July 5, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon   In this episode a preacher draws practical lessons on Christian service from the largely overlooked Old Testament figure Barzillai, weaving his story (2 Samuel 17, 19; 1 Kings 2) together with New Testament teaching from Jesus (John 13; Matthew 20, Matthew's sheep-and-goats parable; John 6; John 4; Matthew 11; Luke 9). The sermon explores how Barzillai's example models compassion for the hungry, thirsty, weary, and fleeing, and connects that literal giving to meeting spiritual needs as disciples of Christ. Listeners will hear short readings and participation from the congregation. Neal references personal ministry memories and older servants in the church as illustrations of faithful, long-term service, and discusses how service should continue into the golden years without spiritual retirement. Key takeaways are presented as five practical principles: give what you have to meet physical and spiritual needs; give as long as you are able; give without expectation of earthly reward or recognition; use your resources and influence to give others opportunities to serve and grow; and respond when people need help. The sermon emphasizes humility, sacrificial discipleship, and the call to ‘‘give yourself'' to Christ (Luke 9:23, Galatians 2:20). The episode closes with an invitation to respond in faith—whether to commit to Christ, to rededicate one's life, or to begin serving in practical ways—and an encouragement to move from receiving worship to active service in daily life.   Handout: GIVING LIKE A GILEADITE — Neal Pollard Introduction A.

Why I Believe in Jesus (John 6) by Josiah Graves

Series: N/AService: Sun PM WorshipType: SermonSpeaker: Phillip Shumake

“Deity of Christ” believers have claimed that Isaiah saw Jesus, the “second person of the Godhead”, in Isaiah's vision of God recorded in Isaiah 6. The deity-of-Christ claim is that when John wrote, “Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him” (John 12:41) that when Isaiah saw God sitting on his throne in a vision, Isaiah saw Jesus.Did the prophet Isaiah, who claimed the God of Israel was the Father, claim to have seen God the Son and his glory?Or, was John claiming that "his glory" which Isaiah prophetically saw was the glory of the Servant of YHVH God?Resources: Written text of this podcast: https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2026/07/john-1237-45-john-does-not-claim-that.htmlBill Schlegel One God Report: https://www.youtube.com/@billschlegel1The Trinity is NOT Biblical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1VuvKEyB0gDeity of Christ Interpretations of Scripture Dishonor Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2VOKEvGqAwWhat About John 1?

Death Leads to Life: The Way of Jesus – John 12:27–50 In Episode 143 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore the closing section of John 12, where Jesus begins preparing His followers for the reality of the cross. Through His powerful teaching about the grain of wheat that must die to produce life, Jesus reveals a kingdom principle that changes everything: death leads to life. Together, they unpack what it means to surrender our own plans, ambitions, and desires so that God can produce something greater through us. As Jesus calls people out of darkness and into His light, this passage challenges us to consider where we are resisting surrender and where God may be inviting us into deeper trust. This conversation is a reminder that what feels like loss in God's hands often becomes the very place where new life begins. What is God asking me to surrender today so that He can bring greater life through it tomorrow? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Why does God allow His children to experience suffering? In this message, Russ Andrews examines Jesus walking on the water in John 6 to reveal how God uses life's storms to strengthen our faith, deepen our relationship with Christ, and shape us into His image. Through biblical examples and powerful stories of believers who endured hardship with hope, you'll be encouraged to trust God's purpose even in the darkest seasons. If you're facing trials, this message offers the assurance that Jesus sees you, prays for you, and will never leave you in the storm.

John Bevere shares a powerful message on the second coming of Jesus, reminding us that the hope of Jesus' return is meant to shape how we live today. Through Scripture, he challenges us to fix our minds on heaven, remain faithful in our walk with God and live with the urgency of those eagerly awaiting their King. 

Uflourish Church elder, Ed Wade, looks at John 8:12-20, where Jesus describes himself as the light of the world. Ed walks us through similar passages across Scripture and helps us recognize that Jesus doesn't just shine a light on the destination, but he gives us light for each step along the way. Our call then is to receive the light of his direction with a humble posture each day, and while we don't know which way he'll take us, we can trust that his way is the best way.

The fact Genesis reveals the foundational Truth of God is confirmed by the teaching of Jesus, who treats its account of the Creation, Fall & Flood as literal. *GENESIS 1 reveals a personal supernatural God created this world. So, life did not arise by accident as evolution teaches. He created man in His image, with authority to rule. Man did not descend from apes, but is a direct creation of God. *GENESIS 2 describes His special creation of man (v7), made us in His image to have fellowship with Him (3:8). As our Creator, He is our Owner & Lord, with an absolute right to rule us & define who we are & our purpose. He makes the rules & sets the boundaries. He put Adam & Eve under obedience, and explained the result of rebellion (v17). God defines right & wrong, there are absolutes, and we're accountable to God; if we rebel, there are consequences & judgment. God created man as male & female (1:27, 2:18-25), the origin of sexuality, with Adam & Eve the original pattern. He instituted marriage between a man & a woman & family. *GENESIS 3 reveals the devil tempted them into sin. As a result, man died spiritually & was cast out of God's Presence. Sin resulted in man losing God's blessing & coming under curse, bringing suffering, sickness & physical death. As man was given authority over nature & the animal kingdom, the curse also came on his domain. So, man is sinful by nature, cut off from God & under His judgment. But God shared the Gospel of the Messiah with them (v15) and they trusted in Him (v21). Genesis 3 reveals man is a fallen being, who needs salvation. Only by understanding this does the Gospel make sense. If there's no personal God, no absolute right & wrong, no sin & judgment, then there's no need for salvation. *GENESIS 4-6 teaches Adam transmitted the sin-nature in his flesh to all his seed (1:11-25), as seen with Cain (4:7,8) & Seth (5:3) and confirmed by Jesus (John 3:6). Due to the inherited sin-nature, sin multiplied (6:5), necessitating a world-wide Flood, proving God will judge man for his sin. So, the Truth is there's a righteous God, who expects us to live righteously. But all have sinned and so are under His judgment. We must accept this truth, to understand & believe the Gospel & be saved. He also revealed the Gospel of salvation (the solution to man's problem), by His provision of salvation for Noah & family from the judgment of the Flood. The ARK is a picture of CHRIST, our refuge from judgment, who offers Himself to us to cover & protect us. Christ, our Ark of Salvation, took God judgment on Himself, so that all who trust in Him & take refuge in Him, will be put in Him & be saved from judgment. The Truth of Genesis is settled for a Christian by seeing what Jesus said about these issues, for if we believe He is the Truth (John 14:6) and the true God, then He knows what's true & what's false, and His teaching must be true, the authoritative Word of God, as He claimed (Matt 5:21,27,31, 33,38,43). He spoke as God, the Fount of all authority & will judge us by our response to His words (John 12:48-50). He claimed all His words come from God, and so are without error. This is especially clear in Matthew 28:18-20, where the risen Christ commands His disciples to teach all men: “to observe ALL THINGS I COMMANDED you.” If He'd taught errors He'd not have endorsed everything He taught in His earthly ministry, and tell His apostles to teach the same. Thus, we expect the apostles' teaching to agree with His teaching on these issues. He affirmed that all of God's Word (including Genesis) is truth (John 17:17, Matt 4:4, John 10:35, Luke 24:25-27, 44-45), as did the apostles (2Tim 3:16). He often quoted Genesis, treating it as His final authority in disputes. He believed Genesis was historically true. Some examples of this are: *1. JESUS believed in a historical MOSES, and that he wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. He validated Moses & his writings, including Genesis (John 5:39-40, 45-47). *2. He believed in a historical ADAM, the first man, directly created by God, and affirmed Genesis as historical fact (Luke 3:38, Mark 10:6, Matt 19:4, John 8:44), as did the apostles (Rom 5:12-21, 8:19-211Tim 2:13,14, 1Cor 15:22,45, Jude 1:14). Rom 5:12-21 confirms the Genesis account of a literal Adam, who sinned, and from whom sin & death was transmitted to all men. It uses Adam as a type of Christ, so the Gospel is based on the historicity of Adam. *3. He confirmed ABEL (Genesis 4) was a historical character – the first murder victim, CREATION WEEK (Luke 11:50-51), as does Heb 11:4, 12:24). Hebrews 11 confirms the historicity of many Old Testament heroes. *4. He confirmed the historicity of NOAH and the world-wide FLOOD (Gen 6-9, Matt 24:38-39, Luke 17:27), as did the apostles (1Pet 3:20, 2Pet 2:5, 3:6). He also confirmed the literal destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah and Lot's deliverance (Matt 10:15, 11:23-24, Mark 6:11, Luke 10:12, 17:28-32), as did the apostles (Rom 9:29, 2Pet 2:6-8, Jude 1:7, Rev 11:8).

The Counterintuitive Path to Following Jesus | John 12 Bible StudyIn this episode of the Rooted & Raised Podcast, we dive into John 12 and explore one of the most challenging truths Jesus ever taught:"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." – John 12:24The world tells us to chase comfort, success, and self-preservation. Jesus teaches the exact opposite. In John 12, we see Mary's extravagant worship, Jesus' triumphal entry, and His call for believers to surrender their lives in order to truly live.In This Episode:✔️ Why Mary poured out expensive perfume on Jesus✔️ The difference between true worship and religious appearance✔️ What Jesus meant by "losing your life" to find it✔️ Why following Christ often feels counterintuitive✔️ How surrender leads to spiritual fruitfulness✔️ Practical ways to apply John 12 to your daily walkWhether you're new to the Bible or have been following Christ for years, John 12 offers a powerful reminder that God's way is often very different from our own.

Helpless Men, Hopeless Religion and the Glory of Jesus, John 5:1-18

Sermon OutlineHow Can We Be Transformed into Faithful Witnesses for the Glory of God?John 4:25–42I. You Need an Encounter with Jesus(John 4:25–30)Jesus reveals Himself as the Messiah.The woman leaves her water jar and goes into town.A genuine encounter with Christ produces a desire to tell others about Him.II. You Need Instruction from Jesus(John 4:27, 31–38)The disciples lose sight of their mission.Jesus teaches them to lift up their eyes and see the harvest.Faithful witnesses learn to see people through the eyes of Christ.III. You Need Time with Jesus(John 4:39–42)The Samaritans initially believe because of the woman's testimony.They spend two days with Jesus.Their faith deepens into personal conviction: "This is indeed the Savior of the world."Main Idea:Jesus transforms ordinary people into faithful witnesses through encounters with Him, instruction from Him, and time spent with Him. Study QuestionsWhy is Jesus' statement in John 4:26 so significant? What does it reveal about His identity?What does the woman's response teach us about the relationship between encountering Christ and sharing our faith?Why were the disciples surprised to find Jesus speaking with the Samaritan woman?What does Jesus mean when He says, "The fields are white for harvest"?In what ways can Christians lose sight of the mission Christ has given them?How did the Samaritans move from believing the woman's testimony to personal conviction about Jesus?What is the difference between secondhand faith and firsthand faith?How do God's Word, prayer, worship, and Christian fellowship help us spend time with Jesus?Which group do you most identify with right now: the woman, the disciples, or the Samaritans? Why?What is one specific way you can grow as a faithful witness this week?Key Verse:"It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world." — John 4:42 (ESV)

A @Christadelphians Video: **Video Title:** One in Christ: Complimentary Roles #2 – ‘Sisters in Service' with Bible Student Mark O'GradyJoin us for this **thought-provoking** and **insightful** presentation as Bible Student Mark O'Grady continues our ‘Complimentary Roles' series. In this second session, ‘Sisters in Service', we turn our focus to the beautiful, God-given role of sisters within the ecclesia. This is not merely a study of function—it is an **expositional** look at the heart of true discipleship: the spirit of service.From the women who travelled with our Lord to the faithful sisters commended by Paul in Romans 16, we uncover a **wonderful** truth: service is not second‑rate in God's eyes. It is a **revealing** reflection of Christ Himself, who “came not to be ministered unto, but to minister”. We explore the practical care, unseen sacrifices, and spiritual depth of sisters like Priscilla, Phoebe, Mary, and Martha—learning that all genuine service begins at the feet of Jesus.Whether you are a brother or sister, this study will challenge and inspire you to embrace a servant's heart, support one another, and recognise the **outstanding** contribution of sisters in God's family.

We look at many things in our world through our hopeful lense of who they can be. We strain to glean inspiration and equitability with ideas and people, and in the end, that way of looking at the world is easy, because in the end, it comes back to our judgement which we tend to... Agree with! But what does it look like to look TO Jesus for everything? If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

Sermon OutlineHow Can We Be Transformed into Faithful Witnesses for the Glory of God?John 4:25–42I. You Need an Encounter with Jesus(John 4:25–30)Jesus reveals Himself as the Messiah.The woman leaves her water jar and goes into town.A genuine encounter with Christ produces a desire to tell others about Him.II. You Need Instruction from Jesus(John 4:27, 31–38)The disciples lose sight of their mission.Jesus teaches them to lift up their eyes and see the harvest.Faithful witnesses learn to see people through the eyes of Christ.III.

Study QuestionsWhy is Jesus' statement in John 4:26 so significant? What does it reveal about His identity?What does the woman's response teach us about the relationship between encountering Christ and sharing our faith?Why were the disciples surprised to find Jesus speaking with the Samaritan woman?What does Jesus mean when He says, "The fields are white for harvest"?In what ways can Christians lose sight of the mission Christ has given them?How did the Samaritans move from believing the woman's testimony to personal conviction about Jesus?What is the difference between secondhand faith and firsthand faith?How do God's Word, prayer, worship, and Christian fellowship help us spend time with Jesus?Which group do you most identify with right now: the woman, the disciples, or the Samaritans? Why?What is one specific way you can grow as a faithful witness this week?Key Verse:"It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world." — John 4:42 (ESV)

Many people have their own ideas about who Jesus is, but we want to derive our picture of him from what the Bible says. Who is Jesus according to the man God appointed to introduce him to the world? Sermon Outline:I. The Lamb of God Who Takes Away SinII. The Savior of Humanity We Cannot ManufactureIII. The Son of God Who Demands a ResponseSermon Discussion Questions:1. What are some versions of Jesus you encounter in your own circles, whether in culture, on social media, or even in church, that fall short of the Jesus John introduces here? How do you help someone see the difference without coming across as harsh or dismissive?2. For some of us who have been Christians a long time, we have forgotten how big a deal it is that Jesus takes our sin and guilt away. How can we stay (or become) freshly amazed by his grace? 3. True knowledge of Jesus is a gift God gives by his Spirit, not something we achieve through accumulated religious experience. How should this shape the way we pray for people who don't yet believe? How does it relieve some of the pressure we put on ourselves when our conversations about Jesus don't seem to work?4. Who is one person in your life right now who needs to hear that Jesus is the Lamb who takes away sin? What is one specific, concrete way you could point them to Jesus this week?

What if the greatest blindness isn't physical, but spiritual?In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind and reveals a deeper truth: true sight comes from seeing Him. As the Light of the World, Jesus doesn't simply expose darkness—He opens eyes. This powerful encounter moves from blindness to belief, from rejection to worship, and challenges us to examine whether we are truly seeing Jesus.Join us as we continue The Beloved Gospel through John 9.Scripture: John 9:1–41 (ESV)www.overflowdfw.comSupport the show
