Week two of our Five Devotions: Worship. What is worship, why do we worship and how do we worship? To learn more, please visit us at mercyhouse365.org
Will anything ever satisfy the deep needs of our heart and answer our biggest questions? Jesus reveals himself to be the only satisfying answer.
“Go; your son will live.” With these simple words, Jesus demonstrates that His power is not bound by geography or proximity. In this episode of The Magnificent 37, we explore two profound instances where the Lord heals from a distance: the Official's Son in John 4 and the Centurion's Servant in Luke 7. In both cases, desperate men seek Jesus, yet they learn that He does not need to be physically present to effect a cure. These signs show who Jesus is and that His Word and authority alone bridge the gap between life and death. The Rev. Burnell Eckardt, pastor emeritus and editor-in-chief of Gottesdienst: the Journal of Lutheran Liturgy, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study John 4:46–54 and Luke 7:1–10. Thy Strong Word kicks off the new year by dedicating our time to study "The Magnificent 37: The Miracles of Jesus." Christ didn't just speak the Word; He demonstrated it with power. From the quiet intimacy of water turning to wine at Cana to the earth-shaking reality of the empty tomb, the Gospels record thirty-seven distinct moments where Jesus suspended the laws of nature to reveal the power of his grace. This isn't just a list of "neat tricks" from history. It is a systematic walkthrough of how God breaks into our broken world to fix it. Why did Jesus curse a fig tree? Why did He need mud to heal a blind man? What does the coin in the fish's mouth teach us about being citizens of heaven and earth? Host, Pastor Phil Booe and a lineup of guest pastors will take you through each event, verse by verse. We'll move past the Sunday School summary and get into the meat of the text, including the Old Testament connections, the cultural context, and the immediate comfort these signs bring to your life today. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Welcome to another episode of The Cutting Room Floor, where we further unpack Sunday's message, discuss practical applications, and hear some of what didn't make the final cut.
As we begin a new year, Living on Mission will invite us to look ahead together, unfolding the vision God is shaping for Fair Oaks Church. Over six weeks, we'll anchor ourselves in Jesus' mission for His Church and discern how God is calling us to live it out in this next season.

Pastor Derek Walker of the Oxford Bible Church delves into the 2nd sign miracle in the Gospel of John: the healing of the nobleman's son at the point of death by His word over a distance of 25 miles (John 4:46-54). This encounter revealed the kind of faith God wants to see in us. Through this miracle, learn about the importance of faith, the power of Jesus' word, and how signs and wonders are meant to lead believers to a deeper trust in Christ. Explore how Jesus' miracles were more than just acts of healing—they were messages intended to inspire faith in His teachings.
This week, we begin our new series New City DNA. In John 4, we see the story of the Woman at the Well, where Jesus models an authentic relationship that leads to worship and mission. Pastor Eric shares three points from the text that highlight why New City values authentic relationships: 1) Authentic relationships pursue past barriers. 2) Authentic relationships persevere with truth. 3) Authentic relationships propel us towards worship and mission.

In John 4, Jesus intentionally meets a Samaritan woman at a well and offers her something no other source ever could, living water that never runs dry. In this message, Pastor Andrew Fish explores how the source that we draw from matters. If we are relying on other sources then we will end up always thirsty but if we rely on the living water then we will find true satisfaction and life. As we go into 2026, we must leave behind temporary sources that never satisfy and draw from the true source of Life in Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
In the unconditional love of Jesus, we find not only salvation but also transformation, as we contemplate the truth that we are both fully known and fully loved by Him. As a result, we can be set free from the burden of guilt and shame for our sin, and can find a passion for both obeying Him and sharing Him with others. Scripture References: John 4: 27-42, Romans 10: 17 Pastor: Rob Orr

We all have places we go when we feel empty. Things that help for a moment, but never seem to last.In this episode, Chuck walks through a surprising conversation Jesus has with a woman at a well, someone who kept returning to the same place hoping it would finally satisfy her. Instead of judging her, Jesus names her thirst and offers something deeper than quick fixes or temporary relief.

Jesus had to pass through Samaria, because he had a meeting with a woman at a well. Jesus knew everything about the woman, and the woman believed that Jesus is the Christ. Scripture References: John 4: 1-26 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson
As we close out our 2025 Advent season, we look to and are reminded of God's love. When we think of the love of the Lord, we must be careful not to sentimentalize, generalize, or assume it. God's love for the believer isn't cheap- it's intentional and secure. We hope this message blesses you in the Lord. Originally December 21st, 2025. Hank Atchison. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.
The twelfth message in a sermon series through the Gospel of John.
In this message, we explore the life of John, the pattern disciple—a man who walked so closely with the Lord Jesus that he became a blueprint for end-time believers desiring intimacy, obedience, and mature sonship. While Paul stands as the pattern apostle, unveiling doctrine, revelation, and the perfection of the Church, John models the heart posture every believer must emulate: the posture of love, fellowship, and deep personal closeness to Christ. John shows us what it means to dwell in the secret place of the Most High—living under divine preservation until every aspect of destiny is fulfilled. Even attempts to kill him could not succeed, because the man who abides in love abides in God, and God preserves him until the assignment is complete. Through him, we received the Book of Revelation—the unveiling of Christ in His glory—and the teaching that “God is love,” calling us to walk as He walked. This message reminds us that true maturity comes when we follow God because of His Word, not because of signs. Signs follow obedient disciples; disciples do not chase after signs. We are called to be the sign—living epistles whose lives manifest Christ. John teaches us to invest our time not in material abundance, but in eternal life, love, and the pursuit of the Kingdom. We also learn from Jesus Himself—the One who performed miracles quietly, without seeking fame. His humility was as powerful as His miracles. He calls us today to stretch our faith, to believe for resurrection life in the present, and to understand the unity of the Godhead as the pattern for our unity with Him. Ultimately, the message brings us back to this central truth: Believing is an act of your will, and the measure of your love for God is your obedience to His commandments. John shows us the path of intimacy. Jesus calls us to walk in it.

The true Spirit of God acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, while the spirit of the antichrist denies Him. Believers are from God and have overcome the world because the One who is in them is greater than the one in the world. John emphasizes the essential nature of love. Love originates from God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows Him. God demonstrated His love by sending His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Since God loved us, we ought to love one another. If we love, God dwells in us, perfecting His love in us. We are to stay alert and grounded in truth. Not everything we hear should be trusted, so we must test it against what we know about Jesus. When we center our lives on Him, we gain the strength to stand firm. Love is not just something we talk about; it is something we must live out daily. If God loved us enough to send His Son, then we should reflect that same love to others. This means showing patience, forgiveness, and kindness, even when it is not easy. As we love more deeply, we create space for God to work through us. His presence becomes real in our relationships, especially in deeply committed love toward brothers and sisters in Christ. Honorable God, grant us the wisdom to properly discern truth from error. Please provide us with cautious hearts and minds regarding what we hear and choose to believe. When in doubt, lead us to lean into greater love: for You, Your people, and everyone we encounter. Thank You for demonstrating Your incredible love by sending Your Son as the propitiation for our sins. We will draw from that act of kindness to shape how we care for others. Help us develop a perfect love that casts out fear. May we be joyfully obedient to You and kind to our Christian family. Thought Questions: What are the “spirits” that you need to test, and how do you do that? Why is it essential to be a consistent, daily bible student? Why should God's people love and help and serve one another in a way that is beyond anything the world could ever understand? How does perfect love cast out fear? How do you develop that level of love for God and others, freeing yourself from fear of punishment?
