7/1/18 - The Will to do God's Will - John 7:1-24

The Cost of Discipleship - John 6:60-71 - Who is Jesus? - Pastor Jason Fritz

You've probably noticed that it's easy to get swept up in the crowd mentality. Mob psychology is very powerful and it causes us to act without thinking. Perhaps you've even seen this in yourself. It's not hard to get carried away by the tide of culture. You don't even have to put forth an effort. Simply step into the current and you're floating along. This is what Jesus experienced not long after feeding several thousand people. All but a few were following him for what they could get out of him. So when Jesus calls the people to something deeper, they begin to leave. In this moment you can sense the tender heart of Jesus as he turns to Peter and asks, "Do you want to leave also?" Peter's response is the bare minimum and yet it is profound. "Lord, to whom shall we go. You have words of eternal life." Dietrich Bonhoeffer said this: "Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ." He's right. Discipleship is the high calling from Jesus to live a life of reckless abandon for the Kingdom of God!

"The Bread of Life (The Everlasting Life Diet)" John 6:25-59; Pastor Jason Fritz

Jesus Feeds the Multitudes - John 6:1-15 - Pastor Jason Fritz - Who is Jesus?

In John 6:1-15 we read John's account of Jesus feeding the 5000. In this story, we see how God can use what little we have and turn it into something beyond our imagination.

The Witness of Jesus - John 5:30-47 - Pastor Jason Fritz - Who is Jesus?

As we continue our "Who is Jesus?" series in a study of the Gospel of John we see Jesus claim to be God and point to John the Baptist as His witness confirming this, yet the religious leaders rejected Him.

Jesus Heals a Lame Man at on the Sabbath - John 5:1-18 - Pastor Jason Fritz -Who is Jesus?

In John 5 we read of the account of Jesus healing a lame man at the Pool of Bethesda on the Sabbath. Jesus did this to make a statement about the man made laws that the religious leaders had put upon the people.

"The Power of Your Testimony" - John 4:27-42 - Who is Jesus? - Pastor Jason Fritz

"How much do you have to hate someone to not proselytize?" - Penn Jillette Jesus is an evangelist. The motivation for evangelism is love. If Jesus is Who He said He was, then a private faith is cruel.

The Woman at the Well - John 4:1-38 - Who is Jesus? - Pastor Jason Fritz

As we study the story of the woman at the well in John 4 we learn more about who Jesus is. He compares himself to a spring that won't run dry, being in the desert, just as in the Middle East we understand water to be the source of life, thus Jesus is saying he is the Source of Eternal life.

Turning Tragedy Into Triumph - Good Friday Service - Pastor Jason Fritz

Turning Tragedy Into Triumph: As we remember Good Friday and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ we celebrate the power Jesus has over death and the grave. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. -1 Peter 2:24
