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.

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 life of all Christians, would require humility.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 9:1-41. One of the subjects we encounter in this chapter is the simple question, asked in 9:2, “Who sinned?”. This draws us into the doctrine of God’s providence and His governance. We see that suffering isn’t always a result of retribution or chastisement but sometimes, as seen continued in verse 3, it is to glorify God.
