Pastor Gary Wilkerson continues our sermon series in the Gospel of John, looking at the life of Nicodemus. We can sometimes put on the outer appearance of everything being okay. The busyness and clamor of the day can even keep us distracted, but in the quiet of night our deep hurts and confusion come to the surface. Only Jesus can heal these deep wounds. Come to him!
The world and all the powers of darkness continually rage against the testimony of Jesus Christ. If we are praying for an awakening be prepared to face opposition. As Christians, we are to take courage and refuse to bow down to the powers of darkness. Be fearless in the face of opposition, don’t stop praying and prepare to take a journey that will bring glory to God.
In this fourth installment of our sermon series from the Gospel of John, Pastor Gary Wilkerson looks at the passages about Jesus cleansing the temple. Christ is consumed with zeal for his house. God doesn't want his house to be a place of consumerism—focused all on ourselves. He wants to remove things that clutter and distract us from walking in holiness. As he empties us, he wants to fill us with more zeal for him and his kingdom purposes.
This message is for those who know God has set you free, but because of difficult circumstances you don’t feel free. Biblical freedom is not based on traditions of men or feelings, but it’s based upon what Jesus did on Calvary and the truth of His Word. As God’s people we are immersed in the Holy Spirit and free from the dominion of sin and the sting of death. We are eternally free because of Jesus Christ.
As we continue our sermon series in the book of John, Pastor Gary Wilkerson looks at John chapter two, where Jesus turns water into wine. There was the physical miracle, but it also has spiritual implications. Wine, or the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, can run dry in our life. We must continually be filled afresh. And as God pours into us, we are meant to pour out our lives for others.
Don’t be ashamed to be identified with Jesus Christ in these last days. Be willing to let God build in you the testimony that He has determined for your life. We are the fourth person in the flood, so bend your knee to God so that we can lead others into the safety of Jesus Christ.
