John 5:19-30 

Jesus explains that he works in perfect unity with the Father and has the authority to give life and execute judgment. Anyone who hears his word and believes him crosses from death into life. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

Philippians 3:10-11 

On a day that holds both grief and joy, the empty tomb shows that knowing Christ surpasses all else, his resurrection power sustains us through suffering, and death no longer has the final word. In the face of real loss and weakness, the risen Jesus offers forgiveness, endurance, and the sure hope that those who trust in him will rise again. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 5:1-18 

Jesus heals a suffering man and exposes that neither false hopes nor rule-keeping can save, calling him instead to turn from sin and trust in him. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 4:31-54 

True fulfillment comes from doing the Father's will, as seen in Jesus, and real faith responds to who He is rather than merely seeking what He can do. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 4:16-30 

Jesus exposes our sin and misplaced desires so that we turn from false wells and become true worshipers of the Father, worshiping in Spirit and truth through Christ. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 4:1-15 

Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well and reveals that he is the source of the living water that gives eternal life. He offers the gift of the Spirit and lasting life to all who come to him in faith. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 3:22-36 

John the Baptist does not envy the surpassing greatness of Jesus, but rejoices and says, "He must increase, but I must decrease." True humility results from encountering Jesus. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 3:16-21 

At the center of the gospel stands God's love for a sinful world, shown in giving His Son as a saving sacrifice rather than the kind of conqueror people expected. Faced with Christ, each person either clings to the darkness of unbelief or comes into the light through new birth. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 3:1-15 

Jesus teaches that the deadly poison of sin cannot be cured by our morality or effort, but only by being born again and looking to the Son of Man lifted up for salvation. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 2:13-25 

Jesus cleanses the temple out of zeal for his Father's house and declares that He is the true temple who will be destroyed and raised in three days.
