Sermons from March 2025
The Restoration of Peter
John 21:15-17 After finishing breakfast, Jesus turned his attention to Peter and asked him a question three times. Pastor Rod Bunton explains the significance of this repetition and how it brings good news to Peter, a man who had denied Christ during a critical moment.
Jesus as Priest
Christ has a three-fold office: Prophet, Priest, and King. Pastor Ben Khazraee focuses on the second role, that of a Priest.
The Appearance of Jesus to Seven Disciples
John 21:1-14 In the concluding chapter of John, the author narrates another instance of the resurrected Jesus appearing to a group of disciples. Pastor Rod Bunton explains how Jesus uses a fishing expedition as a metaphor for our reliance on Him.
The Appearance of Jesus to Thomas
John 20:24-31 The apostle Thomas was not with the others when Jesus appeared to them and, despite their assurances, he did not believe that it really happened. Pastor Rod Bunton describes how Jesus’ sixth appearance to “doubting” Thomas convinced him to make a remarkable declaration.
Jesus the Prophet
Christ has a three-fold office: Prophet, Priest, and King. Pastor Ben Khazraee focuses on the first role, that of a prophet.
The Appearance of Jesus to the Disciples
John 20:19-23 There are at least eleven encounters with Jesus after his death and resurrection recorded in the Bible. Pastor Rod Bunton focuses on the fifth appearance, to the disciples that were hiding in fear of what would happen next.
The Promised One
Pastor Doug Link continues our study of Christology, showing how Jesus is not only the focus of the New Testament, but the Old Testament as well.
The Resurrection of Jesus
John 20:1-18 Mary Magdalene, a faithful disciple of Christ, arrived at the tomb early on Sunday and discovered that Jesus’ body was gone. Pastor Rod Bunton explains the confusion that followed and the eventual unexpected realization that he had been resurrected even though he had already told them it would happen.
