Preaching on Jesus as the "bread of life" from John 6, this sermon teaches that neither the pursuit of pleasure nor self-restraint can truly satisfy our deepest longings. Instead, Jesus alone provides the spiritual nourishment that sustains and fulfills us, a truth far greater than any physical or worldly provision.

Drawing from the story of Lazarus in John 11, this sermon teaches that Jesus, being both fully God and fully man, has ultimate authority over death and sin. He demonstrated His deep compassion for our suffering and showed that believers can surrender their lives to Him, trusting that He is the resurrection and the life.

This sermon recounts how two secret disciples, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, were compelled by the cross to move from hidden fear to public faith, providing a courageous and costly burial for Jesus. Their actions demonstrate that the cross calls believers to sacrifice worldly security for the sake of Christ, offering in return the promise of resurrection and eternal life as Jesus occupies the tomb we deserve.

This sermon explains that God's wrath is a deserved, controlled, and ultimately absorbed response to humanity's rebellion and desire for self-rule. It uses the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane as a picture of our collective enmity toward God, demonstrating that all people, regardless of background, stand in opposition to Him.

This sermon examines three of Jesus's final statements from the cross in the Gospel of John, interpreting "I thirst" as His spiritual desolation and fulfillment of scripture. It presents "It is finished" as a declaration of victory, signifying the complete work of salvation that frees believers from self-reliance, and "Behold" highlights His care for His mother as a redefinition of relationships, creating a new spiritual family that transcends all earthly divisions.

This sermon explains that true healing and restoration from sin are rooted in genuine repentance. The message emphasizes that godly repentance involves owning one's sin, uprooting its internal cause, and grieving over it in a way that leads not to self-pity, but to worship and freedom fueled by God's grace.

This sermon uses the feeding of the 5,000 to illustrate that God's provision is both instinctual and superabundant, and is often "over our heads" or beyond human comprehension. The message argues that Jesus, the Bread of Life, offers ultimate provision and sufficiency through His sacrifice, urging listeners to recognize their complete dependence on Him and live with radical generosity.

 

This sermon illuminates the truth that Jesus is the Creator who became creation, the Light who brought enlightenment to a world shrouded in darkness, and the ultimate fulfillment of all the Old Testament's shadows. It argues that Jesus's radical humility and glorious revelation confront humanity's love of darkness, inviting us to find true and lasting satisfaction in Him alone.

This sermon explains that Jesus is the unexpected and ultimate light of the world, a light that shatters our preconceived notions of greatness and triumphs over spiritual darkness. The message emphasizes that this divine light is received by grace alone and that His birth as the God-man, while demanding a response of worship, also offers profound comfort and an unshakable joy.
