In John 11:1-27, death seems to win. Jesus’ friend falls ill, and rather than rushing to heal him, Jesus lets him die! Why would Jesus let death win? What was his plan? How should all of this impact our own view of death today? Join us this weekend at Compass for the first installment of our new series: “Taking on Death ..read more

When a Christian thinks of “works,” it’s often in the context of something negative. E.g., “No one can be saved by works.” And while that is true, and the connotation is understandable, Jesus’ works were different. In our passage this weekend, Jesus will appeal to his works as reason enough for his opponents to believe in him even if they won’t believe his words! Join us this Sunday morning for a sermon on works…not your works but Jesus’ works, and why they should encourage your faith and embolden your witness ..read more

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd.” You’ve probably heard that before. Maybe you even grew up with a painting of a shepherd hanging on the wall with those words underneath. But what does that mean that Jesus is our shepherd? Why do we even need a shepherd? And what good is a shepherd who dies while protecting the sheep? These are questions that we’ll find answers to in our study of John 10:1-21 ..read more

In this week’s sermon, we find an apt metaphor for our salvation stories in the life of a man born blind. In an act of unmerited favor, Jesus gave sight to the man born blind, and in response, the man gave his life to following Jesus.

Join us Sunday as we look at John 9 in the next installment of our series, “The Shepherd ..read more

Taking a person at their word is sometimes hard to do. I remember repelling for the first time and having to trust the guide that the rope was in good shape and could hold my weight as I backed over the edge. We’re not likely to take someone’s word for it without an abiding confidence that they know what they’re talking about. When Jesus speaks, we need to remember that we’re hearing from the Author of life, the One who was there at the beginning and who will be there at the end. So when Jesus tells us where we can find life, we can, we should, and we must take him at his word, Join us Sunday ..read more

What do you do with a passage like John 7:53-8:11? Should it be in our Bibles? Should we preach it? Should this undermine our confidence in our Bibles?
