The gospel is the good news message that Jesus of Nazareth was (and is) the promised Messiah\King of God's Kingdom. Proclaiming this message was the purpose for which the 4 accounts of Jesus' life we call gospels were written. As we approach Easter this year, we will look at how different events in the gospel of John reveal Jesus as King, and what kind of King he is, beginning with his first miracle, turning water into wine at a wedding celebration in Cana.

Spiritual Bondage - Emmanuel Bible College
In Jesus' conversation with some of his opponents, Jesus outlines four characteristics of those in spiritual bondage. The first being, people in spiritual bondage often don't see they actually are in bondage. How do we help ourselves stay free of bondage and even more, help others out as well. Listen to Dr. Roy's message from John's gospel.
What Does Our Heavenly Father Want From Us?
Our Heavenly Father is loving, patient, forgiving, kind, a protector and a provider, but what does He want from us out of this amazing relationship?In this week's message we explore how it is God's desire for us to trust and obey Him, to use discernment and be vigilant in this life, and to be available to Him.

Heart of a Mother
We are chosen to be adopted into God’s family. The influence of a mother’s prayer is powerful. The reflection of Jesus is in a Mother’s heart and actions. The Mother’s prayer, “Lord, give me this soul!”
Evangelism for Normal People - Basic Practices #6
For many followers of Jesus sharing our faith is something most agree is something Christians should do, but many struggle with doing for all sorts of reasons. But what might evangelism for normal people look like? It would and should look like how Jesus did evangelism. How Jesus blessed and invited people into the Kingdom was based out of a foundation that is the same for His followers. Have your Bibles ready to skip through the gospel of John as we look at Jesus' pattern for doing evangelism.
Honouring Freedom

Teen Challenge

Transformation
How does a “Son of Thunder” become a disciple Jesus loved? What changes John? We are not yet perfect, but we press on in eager expectation of perfection (1 Jn 3:1-3). We are characterized by God’s love in us, our love for God, and love for others (Jn 17:1-3, 20-26).
Made for Conversation, Hearing God, #1
Every person has been made for conversational relationship with God. Unfortunately, many people, including followers of Jesus, struggle with hearing from God. In this first of four sermons in the series, we will see how personal conversational relationship is not only necessary to fully follow Jesus, but it is also what we’ve been made for.
Caiaphas, Easter #2
Caiaphas viewed Jesus as a threat because he was more concerned about his position, wealth, and authority than following what God was obviously doing and saying. Caiaphas knew that following God would cost him what he had, but was unwilling to surrender ‘his’ kingdom to God’s Kingdom. Like Caiaphas, Christians can resist the God they say they trust. And do what is wrong to try to hold onto something that we will eventually lose anyway.
