Series: Signs & GloryTitle: “Should Jesus Matter More Than Me?”Scripture: John 3:22-36Bottom line: It's not about me. If I follow Jesus, He must become greater--I must become less.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONShould Jesus matter more than me?I mean we just read John 3:16 where we see that God loved the world--us--so much that he gave his one and only son (the most precious thing he could give) that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. That makes it seem like God is making much of me! That I matter to him!And we do! "But God demonstrates his love in this, that while we were still sinners Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)But it's because of that great love for us that he demonstrates his greatness even more. This is why he's worthy to live our lives for. This is why he matters most.In our world, our culture, it's all about #1. It's all about taking care of myself. What's best for me. What's in it for me. But this isn't at all how the Bible teaches us to live. In fact, it's 180 degrees the other way. It's not about me. It's all about Jesus--my creator and savior.2. The Olympic Torchbearer Who Knew His RoleIn the Olympic Games, the torch relay is a huge honor. Runners carry the flame for a short distance before passing it to the next person. No single runner tries to hold onto the torch forever—each one understands their job is to carry it for a time and then hand it off.John the Baptist saw his role the same way. He wasn't the light—he was just carrying the flame until Jesus, the true light, arrived. He gladly stepped aside because he knew it was never about him.Tie-in: Are we holding onto our own importance too tightly, or are we willing to pass the torch so Jesus can be seen more clearly?So, should Jesus matter more than me?Yes. Why? Good question. The apostle John answers this question 4 ways in John 3:22-36. Let's take a look.CONTEXTJesus & company move out from the city of Jerusalem to the Judean countryside to preach and baptize. Seeing the planned transition from J the B to J the C, this causes heartburn for John's disciples. Not unlike when a beloved pastor moves on from a church, the congregants are sometimes reluctant to follow the new pastor, even though it's often God's will.SERMON Bottom line: It's not about me. If I follow Jesus, He must become greater--I must become less.Main Idea: John the Baptist's response to his disciples shows us why Jesus must take first place in our lives—and why we must be willing to step back so He can be exalted.Jesus matters more because...The Church (Bride) belongs to Him. (22-29)He comes from above (heaven). (30-31)His words are God's words. (32-34)He holds my eternity. (35-36)Let's break this down a few verses at a time.1. Jesus Matters More Because the Church Belongs to Him (vv. 22–29)The Best Man Who Tried to Steal the Show Imagine a wedding where the best man keeps stepping in front of the groom, trying to take the spotlight. Instead of celebrating the couple, he gives a long speech about himself, tries to dance with the bride, and insists that everyone pay attention to him.That would be ridiculous, right? After all, that day is for the bride and groom. It's their day! And the best man should be pointing everyone else to them. That's actually his job!But that's exactly what happens when we try to make life about us instead of pointing to Jesus. John the Baptist understood this—his joy was in stepping aside so Jesus could take center stage.Tie-in: Are we content being the “best man” who points to Jesus, or are we still trying to be the main attraction?So, Jesus matters more because the Church (aka the Bride) belongs to Him.. • John calls himself the “friend of the bridegroom,” rejoicing that the bride (God's people) belongs to Jesus, not to him. • It's not about building our platform, reputation, or influence—it's about pointing people to Christ. • Application: Am I more focused on my own importance, or am I helping others love Jesus more?2. Jesus Matters More Because He Comes from Above (vv. 30–31) • John contrasts himself (earthly) with Jesus (from heaven). Jesus isn't just another teacher—He is God's Son. • This means He deserves absolute authority in our lives. • Application: Who has the final say in my decisions—Jesus or me?3. Jesus Matters More Because His Words Are God's Words (vv. 32–34) • Jesus speaks with firsthand knowledge of heaven, and God has given Him the Spirit without measure. • To reject Jesus' words is to reject God Himself. • Application: Do I listen to Jesus above all other voices—culture, opinion, even my own desires?4. Jesus Matters More Because He Holds My Eternity (vv. 35–36) • The Father has placed everything in Jesus' hands—life, judgment, salvation. • Belief in Jesus leads to eternal life, but rejecting Him brings God's wrath. • Application: Am I fully trusting in Jesus, or am I still holding on to control?CONCLUSIONJohn the Baptist knew his role—he wasn't the main event, just the one pointing to Jesus. His joy was complete when Jesus was exalted. So, should Jesus matter more than me? According to John, there's no question—He must.Application questions for us today: • Am I more focused on my own importance, or am I helping others love Jesus more? • Who has the final say in my decisions—Jesus or me? • Do I listen to Jesus above all other voices—culture, opinion, even my own desires? • Am I fully trusting in Jesus, or am I still holding on to control?Bottom line: It's not about me. If I follow Jesus, He must become greater--I must become less.What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTESChatGPT describes a Jewish wedding in Jesus' day in this way:"A traditional Jewish wedding in Jesus' day followed a structured process with deep cultural and theological significance. Understanding this context helps illuminate John the Baptist's statement in John 3:29:“The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is now complete.” (ESV)Stages of a Jewish Wedding in Jesus' Day1. Betrothal (Kiddushin) – The Legal Commitment • The marriage process began with betrothal, a legally binding agreement arranged by the families. • The groom would present a bride price (mohar) to the bride's father as a symbol of his commitment. • A written contract (ketubah) outlined the husband's responsibilities to his wife. • The couple was considered legally married at this point, though they did not yet live together or consummate the marriage. • The groom would then leave to prepare a home for his bride, often an addition to his father's house.2. Waiting Period – The Groom's Preparation • The groom would spend months, sometimes a year, preparing a home for his bride. • The bride remained at her family's house, preparing herself and staying pure for the wedding. • The exact time of the groom's return was often unknown, adding a sense of expectation.3. The Wedding Procession – The Groom Comes for His Bride • When the groom's father declared that everything was ready, the groom would gather his friends and go to the bride's house, often at night. • The bride and her attendants would hear the groom's approach, and she had to be ready to go with him immediately. • This imagery is reflected in Jesus' parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1–13).4. The Wedding Ceremony and Feast • The bride and groom were escorted to the wedding feast, which could last up to seven days. • The marriage was consummated, symbolizing their full union. • The feast was a time of great joy, with music, dancing, and celebration.How This Relates to John 3:29John the Baptist identifies himself as the friend of the bridegroom (what we might call the “best man” today). In Jewish custom, this role was filled by someone who helped prepare the wedding and ensured everything was in order. His greatest joy was seeing the groom receive his bride. • Jesus is the Bridegroom – He has come to claim His people (the bride). • John is the Friend of the Bridegroom – His role was to prepare the way for Jesus, not to take center stage. • The Bride Represents God's People – In a broader biblical theme, the Church is the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25–32, Revelation 19:7–9).John's joy is complete because the groom (Jesus) has arrived and is beginning to gather His bride. His ministry was never about himself but about preparing the way for Jesus.A traditional Jewish wedding in Jesus' day followed a structured process with deep cultural and theological significance. Understanding this context helps illuminate John the Baptist's statement in John 3:29:“The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is now complete.” (ESV)This is helpful in thinking through John 3:29 as well as the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13.OUTLINESWillmington's OUTLINE Bible (JOHN 3):Jesus meets with Nicodemus and tells him in order to be saved, all people must be born again. John the Baptist tells his disciples that Jesus is the Messiah.JOHN EXALTS THE PERSON OF SALVATION (3:22-36)A. The argument (3:22-26): A debate occurs among John's disciples concerning which baptism is valid-those performed by John or Jesus.B. The affirmation (3:27-36): John once again gives testimony concerning the greatness of Jesus.1. Jesus is the bridegroom, while John is but a friend of the bridegroom (3:27-29).2. Jesus must become greater and greater, while John must become less and less (3:30-36).QUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

Susie Jones joined us for Overrated, Underrated or Properly Rated today and let it slip that the wedding she attended over the weekend featured an outdoor ceremony. She refused to rip that decision for late November, but Chad and Dave didn't let it slide.

This week on the Leap Podcast with Deanna Nash, I had the great pleasure of speaking with celebrity wedding officiant Clint Hufft. Clint and I have worked together on dozens of weddings, and I can truthfully say he is a true pleasure to work with!On this week's episode, Clint takes me behind the scenes on his process, how he helps couples script their wedding ceremonies to be a true reflection of the message they want to convey to their guests and a true reflection of you as a couple.  At the heart of his process: the connection between the couple. We also chat about how we as wedding professionals want you to have brilliant memories of your wedding day, and how we go to great lengths to make that happen. That said, sometimes "no" is the answer to your request, and while "no" is not our favorite answer, we lean on our expertise to help guide you to the wedding ceremony that will be most memorable for you and your guests.Other topics covered include: How an officiant helps you craft your ceremony and add meaning that is true to you as a couple; the three basic parts of a ceremony; when to address conflict with family members (spoiler alert: WELL before the wedding day); and the importance of taking into account the expectations surrounding traditions with any family or other stakeholders.This episode is packed with great information from one of the most sought-after officiants in our industry. He's thoughtful, experienced, elegant, and so much fun to work and chat with. I hope you enjoy this episode and, as always, thanks for listening!How to find Clint:Website: www.clinthufft.comInstagram: @hufftclintFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/revhufftHow to find Deanna:Websites: www.deannanashevents.com and www.theleaplifestyle.comInstagram: @deannanashevents and @theleaplifestyleFacebook: www.facebook.com/deannanashevents

Tanya Pushkine born and raised in Brussels, Belgium to an American born musical conductor and German/Belgian painter. Upon moving to the USA, she was soon accepted to The Juilliard School's Drama Division.  Immediately upon graduation, she was selected to play Mozart's wife in Amadeus on Broadway, followed by roles on television, stage and film in both Europe and the US. After a successful 10-year career, and the birth of two children, Tanya changed paths entirely and joined the corporate world with leading roles at LVMH, Sephora, L'Oréal, Barnes & Noble, Clarins and Nestle Skin Health. From being a Cultural Director to running Public Relations and Corporate Philanthropy departments for luxury brands, Tanya was fortunate to work with Beyoncé Lady Gaga, Naomi Watts, Eva Mendez, John Legend, and many more. As a global communications and brand strategist, she conceived, directed and produced major initiatives, events and philanthropic programs.  Never letting go of her acting chops, she kept actively using the skills to coach leaders on public speaking and presentations…. until the wedding universe became her calling. Tanya had been helping friends and family with their vows and toasts for years. Her own second wedding prompted her to become a professional wedding "vow whisperer." She made the bold decision to leave the corporate world and make her way essentially creating a new category in the wedding business. Tanya's business, The Vow Whisperer, is a service whereby Tanya helps couples write their vows, but in their own words.  She is not the writer, but brings out everything from anecdotes, memories, obstacles, incredible moments, intentions for the future and much more and collaboratively will craft the vows using the person's own words. Additionally, Tanya coaches on public speaking which includes enunciation, voice projection, making eye contact while reading off a vow book, poise, confidence and all the tips and tricks to make it a perfect presentation of the most intimate part of a ceremony. Tanya officiates, and offers ceremony planning, as well and coaches family members and friends who want to officiate.  She also works with bridal parties on speeches and toasts. Tanya is based in New York City with her husband, has two children and works globally in several languages.  She is currently on the board of the New York Chapter of WIPA.

In this episode, you hear reflections on Kimberly's wedding, just weeks out from the event in Salvador, Brazil. With guest host/podcast producer/cousin, Jackson Kroopf, you will hear Kimberly sit with all of the proceedings: from spiritual preparation to rehearsal to ceremony to celebration. What does it mean to be married in the traditions of a spouse's culture? Who is a wedding for? What role do children play in their parent's ceremony? How do we understand the relationship between matrimony and contemporary weddings? In this open hearted conversation, you will hear family reckon, reflect, and bask, in real time, on their expanding family.

GUEST: JUSTIN PETERS, evangelist and preacherIt can be confusing and even destabilizing when a pastor or Christian leader who has been orthodox in his teaching for decades says something that seems to compromise God's Word.Such occurred recently with revered pastor Alistair Begg. Begg, who is from Scotland but leads Parkside Church in Cleveland, is the Bible teacher on the popular radio ministry, Truth for Life. In an episode in September 2023, Truth for Life host Bob Lepine was interviewing pastor Begg about his new book, The Christian Manifesto, which seeks to help Christians live out Jesus' “Sermon on the Plain” (Luke 6) in a 21st century brave new world context.Begg brought up the example of what he said to a grandmother who had contacted him about whether to attend her grandson's “wedding” to a “transgender” person (the quotes being added because God defines a wedding as between one man and one woman and no one can “trans” their gender).We'll play the audio of pastor Begg's response, but in short, he suggested the grandmother attend the ceremony and buy the couple a gift with the purpose to keep the lines of engagement and gospel-witness open with her grandson.Those in theologically conservative circles collectively choked on his response while theological liberals said “this is the way”.The important question is: What is God's will for Christians with an issue like this? It is a matter of right vs wrong or an issue of personal conscience?Preacher and evangelist Justin Peters will join us this weekend and point to key passages of Scripture that help us make wise, God-honoring decisions.---------------------------Registration Open for The Overcomer CourseJune 21-24, 2024

Dear Pennies and Pallers, Letter one comes from a pal who is conflicted about the idea of having a big wedding ceremony.
