Sermon Title: Witness in Action

Preacher: Jeremy Deck

Last week's text demonstrated that the call that Jesus gives is a fundamentally transformative call––it calls us to be witnesses, compels us to proclaim. This week's text now shows us what that witness looks like in action. We see five characteristics of Christian Witness in John 1:43-51.

The Continuation of Christian Witness (vv. 43-44).
The Central Claim of Christian Witness (v. 45).
The Contention to Christian Witness (v. 46a).
The Call of Christian Witness (v. 46b).
The Consequence of Christian Witness (vv. 47-51).

The urgency of Christian witness is ultimately met in the person of Jesus.

Here in this set of verses, John is asked two kinds of questions.

Sermon Title: Whose Goodness?

Preacher: Jeremy Deck

In John 1:6–13 we see four actions related to the Light…

The Light Retold (vv. 6-8)

The Light Revealed (v. 9)

The Light Rejected (vv. 10-11)

Sermon Title: From Identity to Activity

Preacher: Jeremy Deck

In John 1:2-5 we see the activity of the Word in three places across salvation history:

The Activity of the Word Before Creation (v. 2)
The Activity of the Word In Creation (v. 3)
The Activity of the Word in New Creation (vv. 4-5)

This non-reactive, eternally pre-existent Triune God who created everything wants to make all things new––beginning with you.
