Genesis 13:11 Lot relied on his own wisdom and moved toward disaster. …helping people journey with Jesus means… Romans 5:1-2 By faith, we now have How COVID has affected us

Sermon Scripture: John 4:1-42 Sermon Big Idea: A disciple hungers and thirsts for righteousness. Then, and only then, will he/she be satisfied. Matthew 5:6 John 4:1-3 Jesus was still aware of timing. John 4:4-18 The Samaritan woman planned her timing. 1 Kings 11:29-31 John 4:19-30 Jesus used his timing and the woman’s timing to unite. John 4:31-42 Jesus expressed that the time is now!

Sermon Scripture: John 2-3 Sermon Big Idea: It’s time for discipleship. It’s time to grow. It’s time to journey with Jesus. “…helping people journey with Jesus.” Jesus said it wasn’t yet his time (John 2:4) Jesus had zeal (zay hos) for God’s house. (John 2:17) Jesus knows what is inside of us. (John 2:25b) John 3:1-21 Nicodemus waited for the right time. Nicodemus had zeal (zay hos) for the law. Nicodemus had his inside exposed. John 7:50-51 John 19:39
