Summary

This is a time of year with a lot of questions about Jesus, like:- Who was He?- What did He do?- Why was (is) He important?- Why in the world is He so influential today?There are answers to these questions all around us: magazines at grocery store check-outs, reels or shorts on social, schools give their answers and politicians this time of year have to decide what to write in their tweets as they seek to acknowledge the holiday around Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.In examining the questions that people give, it’s clear that there is a lot of debate around Jesus. Some think Him a mystic teacher in the wrong place at the wrong time.Others think him a revolutionary who spoke truth to power.Still others think Him a prophet who spoke on behalf of God.But what do you say? What do your Neighbours and coworkers say?This weekend, we are diving into John’s Gospel as a church to answer these questions, landing on John 1:1-18 to see Jesus’ identity and then shifting to John 3:14-21 to see how Jesus explained you and I can enter into the kingdom of heaven … and that’s specifically why he came and that’s why he’s so important for us to believe upon. We can’t wait to gather together to celebrate the risen Saviour this weekend.Be praying for those being invited to church gatherings for the first time - and pray that those who have heard the gospel hundreds of times would have hearts that are made soft by the Spirit.

Episode Description

This is a time of year with a lot of questions about Jesus, like:
- Who was He?
- What did He do?
- Why was (is) He important?
- Why in the world is He so influential today?

There are answers to these questions all around us: magazines at grocery store check-outs, reels or shorts on social, schools give their answers and politicians this time of year have to decide what to write in their tweets as they seek to acknowledge the holiday around Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.
In examining the questions that people give, it’s clear that there is a lot of debate around Jesus.

Some think Him a mystic teacher in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Others think him a revolutionary who spoke truth to power.
Still others think Him a prophet who spoke on behalf of God.

But what do you say? What do your Neighbours and coworkers say?

This weekend, we are diving into John’s Gospel as a church to answer these questions, landing on John 1:1-18 to see Jesus’ identity and then shifting to John 3:14-21 to see how Jesus explained you and I can enter into the kingdom of heaven … and that’s specifically why he came and that’s why he’s so important for us to believe upon.

We can’t wait to gather together to celebrate the risen Saviour this weekend.

Be praying for those being invited to church gatherings for the first time - and pray that those who have heard the gospel hundreds of times would have hearts that are made soft by the Spirit.
