Sunday Sermon | The Difficulty of Self-Knowledge | John | Part 20

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 13:36-38. In these verses, Peter asks where is Jesus going and why he cannot go. Peter’s desire for knowledge, which is not offered by God, becomes a stumbling block for his life’s purpose of selfless gospel service. The sin of our first parents was the pursuit of wisdom independently from God and to use themselves as a standard for right and wrong. They were discontent with what God had given to them as revelation and this became a tremendous stumbling block for them. Taking in the truths of God is vital but are we content in what God has revealed? Are we content to invest ourselves in those things and their application? Everything we do, moment by moment, is in direct relation to what God has called us to. Another issue is lack of self knowledge and overestimation of one’s spiritual state and understanding of the truth. When God redeems us, He brings us to spiritual life as a baby.

Sunday Sermon | Rejoice! Mary’s Response to the News of Christ

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner preaches on Luke. Luke 1. Luke has a distinct purpose, brought about by the Holy Spirit, to direct the truthfulness to that which may seem difficult to believe. One of the most important works that God has set for Himself regarding mankind is to humble the pride of man. One of the ways He has decided to do this, is to insist that the process of gaining understanding, walking with the Lord, and growing in sanctification is a process that is so involved in God Himself and something that takes time and investment; we see this in Mary and Zechariah.

Sunday Sermon | The Glorious Eternal and Universal Reign of the Messiah

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner preaches on Isaiah. Isaiah 9:1-7. Isaiah chapter 11 begins with a shoot from the stump of Jesse. It isn't normal for growth to come from a stump; stumps represent death. The entire theme of these verses in chapter 11 are things that are absolutely unlikely. As we follow the Lord and hope to see change in our life, it seems slow, often impossible. But God isn't like us, so He doesn't do things like we do, and He is full of surprises. As we continue the theme of Isaiah chapter 11, Ezekiel chapter 37, the valley of dry bones, asks the question, "Can these bones live?". As the lion seems to not be able to lie down with the lamb, God says it will happen, just as the dry bones will live. The whole point of the Messiah is to bring life where life isn't expected. Without Christ, we are in a hopeless situation, spiritual darkness, with no help at all. In Isaiah chapter 9, we see redemptive beauty.

Sunday Sermon | Loving One Another Just as Christ has Loved | John | Part 19

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 13:31-35. These scriptures focus on one idea: Love. Jesus gives us a new commandment in verse 34 - love one another, just as Jesus has loved us.

Sunday Sermon | The Breath-Taking Humility of Christ | John | Part 18

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 13:1-20. The central characteristic of Jesus Christ and Christianity could be described as humility. When we rightly associate humility with the grace of God, we see that it is born out of an association with our union with Christ; we walk in humility. In this passage of scripture, we don't have a command to be humble, we have an example from the Lord. This example sets the disciples on notice that their lives, and the lives of all Christians, would require humility.

Sunday Sermon | The Joyful Responsibility of Thanksgiving

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner preaches ahead of Thanksgiving on Psalm 100, a psalm for giving thanks, drawing our attention to the appropriateness of focusing on the concept of thanksgiving. The scriptures help us with the idea of thanksgiving and the sweet privilege of serving God. One of the great aspects of the new birth is what was once difficult becomes natural; as we walk with Christ more and more, there is a natural inclination to express gratitude to God as we see more and more who God is and who we are. Things change when we cultivate a heart of thanksgiving. Psalm 100.

Sunday Sermon | Jesus Christ: Our Burden Bearer | John | Part 17

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 12:27-50. This particular passage of scripture should, firstly, draw us into a spirit of thanksgiving for what the Lord Jesus has done. Secondly, it turns our attention to an idea of attentiveness - receiving Christ where He is, when He is. At some point, the throne of grace will not be available. Thirdly, the idea of sobriety, that Jesus is the light and anyone without this light walks in darkness. Lastly, the concept of grasping reality. God is sovereign but man is still responsible. There is a point at which our hearts can become so hardened there is no return.

Sunday Sermon | The Love of God for His People | John | Part 16

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 12:1-26. This chapter contains a number of narratives that continue to reveal the character of the Lord Jesus Christ and the great purposes that the Father had for the Son. When you look at John's gospel, you can see a spiritual maturity that he gained, in Christ. This gospel helps us understand the profound basis and ground of our relationship to Christ - love. But, what does love mean? The greatest joy we can have is when we are loving another person.

Sunday Sermon | The Raising of Lazarus from the Dead | John | Part 15

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 11:1-44. This chapter draws our attention to Mary's, Martha's, and Lazarus's love and enriched and fervent devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. It also draws our attention to the way Jesus expresses the sovereignty of God and the tenderness of a loving God-man. And lastly, how we might deal with the difficulties and challenges of suffering.

Sunday Sermon | Jesus Christ: The Door and The Good Shepherd | John | Part 14

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 10:1-42. Chapter 9 and 10 speak to spiritual clarity and understanding, what is really true about God and ourselves. This point is continued in chapter 10 with the concept of the Lord Jesus being the good shepherd. He is establishing the simple idea that the relationship between the Lord Jesus and the redeemed is that of a shepherd and His sheep - a glorious relationship. When we think about sheep, it may be that we consider that being a sheep is a mark of immaturity. We may be persuaded that we can become spiritually mature enough to not be considered sheep anymore; but that is not true. Our dependency is not a mark of immaturity as we will never mature out of needing a shepherd. As sheep, we are dependent creatures and our maturity in Christ will never change that fact.
