Where does your faith need to be renewed, revived, restored, or refreshed? In the first message of our “Revival Sparks” sermon series, Lead Pastor John S. Dickerson shares how genuine spiritual renewal begins with meeting personally with God every day. When life moves quickly and another season just seems to disappear, daily time with God helps you grow in faith, recognize His work, and experience renewal in your heart, family, and the world at large. Build an intentional daily rhythm with God through Scripture, your Salvation Prayer List, and the revised 40 Days to Revival Workbook and Devotional. God can restore your soul, one day at a time. The invitation is simple: meet with Him personally and consistently, starting today. NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

Our world insists that there are many roads to God, that truth is relative, and that fulfillment can be found in countless places. Yet in John 14, Jesus leaves no room for confusion or compromise when He declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This is not merely an invitation to follow Jesus; it is an exclusive claim that salvation is found in Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?

Do you ever feel like your relationship with God has become more about doing than being? Reading lists, prayer requests, Bible studies, which are all good things, but what if there's something deeper available to you? In this message, we explore what Jesus means when he calls himself the Bread of Life in John chapter 6, and what it looks like to truly draw on that life in the everyday rhythms of our week. Using the beautiful Māori tradition of the 'hongi', the intimate pressing together of foreheads and noses as a gesture of shared breath, we discover a picture of what God is actually inviting us into: not just a routine, but a genuine, close, life-giving communion with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You'll be encouraged to find a new rhythm in your life, one that makes space to be still, to simply enjoy God's company, and to let his life be woven deeply into yours. Whether you're feeling spiritually strong or completely worn out, this message will remind you that God's arms are wide open, and he is waiting for you. Key themes covered: - Jesus as the Bread of Life (John 6) - The practice of solitude and stillness with God - Isaiah 40:31 - waiting on the Lord and renewing your strength - The Trinity and being woven into God's life - Finding a new spiritual rhythm to go deeper with God - Psalm 46:10 -Be still and know that I am God

A full stomach is easy to recognize. A hungry soul is harder to name, and even harder to satisfy. We open John 6 with Jesus' famous claim, “I am the bread of life,” and we follow the story behind it: the feeding of the five thousand, the crowd's obsession with the sign, and the quiet warning that you can chase miracles while still missing the meaning.We wrestle with the question the crowd asks and we still ask today: “What must we do?” Jesus answers with gospel simplicity and clarity, calling belief the work God requires. From there we examine the subtle ways we try to improve the message: adding extra requirements that create guilt and judgment, or adding extra benefits as if Jesus isn't enough. Along the way, we connect Jesus' “I am” to God's name in Exodus and show why that little phrase carries thunder.Bread runs through the whole Bible, from manna in the wilderness to daily bread in prayer to table fellowship in God's presence. Jesus gathers all of it into Himself: dependable provision, intimate relationship, and a life that is not only eternal but abundant now. We also face the hard saying about eating His flesh and drinking His blood, and why it points us toward communion and a daily, desperate hunger for Christ rather than shelf-life religion.

Raised: When Jesus Calls the Dead to Life – John 11:27–57 In Episode 141 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore one of the most powerful miracles in all of Scripture—the raising of Lazarus in John 11:27–57. As grief, doubt, hope, and faith collide, Jesus declares Himself to be “the resurrection and the life” before calling Lazarus from the tomb. Together, they unpack what this miracle reveals about the heart of God, the power of belief, and how Jesus often works in ways that stretch our faith beyond what we can see. This chapter is not only about a man being raised from the dead—it's about a Savior who brings life into every place that feels hopeless, buried, or beyond redemption. If you've ever wondered whether God can still move in what feels impossible, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus specializes in resurrection. What area of my life feels beyond hope—and am I willing to believe that Jesus still brings dead things back to life?____________________________________ 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

Unshakable: The True Foundation of Life John knox Sermon - May 31, 2026
The Delay, The Death, and The Resurrection Life - John 11:1-26 In Episode 141 - When Jesus hears that His close friend Lazarus is sick, He doesn't rush to his side—He waits. In this episode, we unpack the tension of John 11:1-26. Why does God sometimes seem slow to answer our pain? We'll look at the heartbreak of Mary and Martha, the raw humanity of Jesus, and the staggering moment He redefines reality by declaring, "I am the resurrection and the life." If you're sitting in a season of waiting or wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is a powerful reminder that His delays are never denials. Where in your life right now does it feel like Jesus is arriving 'too late'—and how does knowing He delayed on purpose with Lazarus change how you view that waiting room? ____________________________________ 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

In John 11, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead and reveals one of the most powerful “I Am” statements in the Gospel of John: “I am the resurrection and the life.” This message from The Source series looks at the seventh public sign in John's Gospel and shows how the resurrection of Lazarus points to the authority of Jesus over death, the hope of eternal life, and the freedom He brings to those who believe.Before Jesus raises Lazarus, He delays, He weeps, and He enters the grief of Mary and Martha. This passage reminds us that Jesus is not distant from our pain, but He is also not defeated by it. He is the Source of life, and when He calls our name, dead things come alive.In this sermon, Pastor Josh Brown teaches through John 11 and explores what it means to live the resurrected life. The resurrected life is not only about a future resurrection; it is about hope, freedom, and new life in Christ right now. Jesus does not simply promise resurrection someday. He is resurrection and life today.If you are walking through grief, delay, disappointment, fear, or spiritual bondage, this message will encourage you to believe again. Lazarus walked out of the tomb still wrapped in grave clothes, and Jesus told the people around him, “Unbind him, and let him go.” In Christ, we are raised to life and called into freedom.Join us as we continue The Source series through the Gospel of John and discover how Jesus is the living water, the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd, and the resurrection and the life.Scripture: John 11:1–46Series: The SourceSpeaker: Pastor Josh BrownChurch: Overflow ChurchTopics: John 11, Lazarus, Jesus raises Lazarus, I am the resurrection and the life, resurrection power, living hope, freedom in Christ, Gospel of John, the seventh sign in John, Jesus has authority over death, The Source series, Overflow Church, Pastor Josh BrownSupport the show

Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!" The Dangerous Lie Casual Christians Believe About JesusIn 5 words, Jesus explained exactly who He is. "Before Abraham was, I AM." (From John 8:58). Not “I WAS”, I am. Or, if you look at the raw Greek manuscript that the Apostle John penned, it is the two-word phrase: Ἐγώ εἰμι“Ego Eimi”.Jesus claimed self-existence—an uncreated, eternal nature that has no beginning, no end, and relies on absolutely nothing else to exist.The Pharasees knew exactly who Jesus said He was and IS. “I AM THAT I AM... Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” (Exodus 3:14 Jesus was appropriating the unutterable Name of Yahweh for Himself. "So they picked up stones to throw at Him." Under Levitical law, claiming to be the self-existent God was punishable by immediate stoning for blasphemy.'The "I AM" Statements (Gospel of John)“I am the Bread of Life” (John 6:35): Describing himself as the ultimate source of spiritual nourishment that satisfies the soul.“I am the Light of the World” (John 8:12): Describing himself as the guide who removes spiritual darkness and brings truth.“I am the Gate for the Sheep” (John 10:7): Describing himself as the only way to enter into a relationship with God and find safety.“I am the Good Shephder” (John 10:11): Describing his sacrificial love, protection, and willingness to lay down his life for his followers.I am the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25): Describing his power over death and his ability to give eternal life to those who believe in him.“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6): Describing himself as the exclusive path to God, absolute truth, and the source of eternal existence.“I am the Vine.” (John 15:1): Describing himself as the source of spiritual vitality; believers are the branches that must stay connected to him to bear fruit.

Receiving Jesus as Life (John 6:22-59) 05.11.26 by OrlandoGrace
Don't Be Afraid, I Am: Walking on Water & the Bread of Life – John 6:16–71 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane journey through John 6:16–71, where Jesus reveals both His power over the storm and His identity as the Bread of Life. From walking on water to declaring “I am the bread of life,” this passage invites us to trust Him not just for provision—but for everything. As the crowd wrestles with His words and many turn away, Jamie and Jane unpack the tension between following Jesus for what He gives versus trusting Him for who He is. This conversation challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and choose belief—even when it's hard to understand. Because in the end, the question remains: Will we walk away—or will we stay? Am I following Jesus for what He can do—or for who He is? ____________________________________ 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
I'm excited to revisit this conversation I had with John Drury to the show to discuss how ancient spiritual practices can reshape the way we approach productivity, rhythm, and life itself. John is a professor at Indiana Wesleyan University's School of Theology and Ministry, holding an M.Div. and Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a close personal friend of mine for over 25 years.In this conversation, we cover:Rethinking the Rule of Life: John introduces the concept of regula vitae — the rule of life — and explains why the question isn't whether you have one, but what's currently ruling yours.The Pandemic as a Mirror: We reflect on how COVID-19 disrupted our routines and created an unexpected opportunity for radical understimulation — and what we can learn from the people who actually took it.Life vs. Work-Life Balance: John challenges the very language of "work-life balance," arguing that life is your time — and work is just one part of it — never the other way around.Orienting Values and Stabilizing Practices: He walks through his hands-on framework for building a rule of life, including five orienting values and five stabilizing practices across daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual rhythms.The Sabbath as Productivity Practice: John shares how a 24-hour weekly Sabbath transformed his Fridays, redirected his procrastination, and deepened his connection with family — without a hint of legalism.If you've ever felt like your schedule is running you instead of the other way around, this conversation will give you the framework — and the permission — to start living with more intention. Learn more about John and his work at Indiana Wesleyan University, and stay tuned for part two of this conversation coming next week.Connect with Erik:LinkedInThreadsFacebookBlueskyThis Podcast is Powered By:DescriptDescript 101CastmagicEcammPodpageRodecaster ProTop Productivity Books ListMake sure to grab Shortcasts from Beyond The To-Do List by Blinkist.
