Submission, Intimacy, and Compatibility with Jesus | John 8:31-59
In John chapter 8, verses 31-59, Jesus confronts the Jewish people about their status with God by judging their relationship with God as merely association and an intimate relationship. Because of the cross, Christians have been purchased for an intimate relationship with God but do we access it? Because when we press into an intimate relationship with God - we are behaving in the way we were designed to be. You are discovering your true self. Pastor Robin highlights three questions in this narrative that help us discern association over intimacy if we’re honest with ourselves in answering.
No, One Lord | John 8:1-11
John chapter 8, verses 1-11 is one of the most popular passages in the Bible. It is easily one of the best looks at the character of Jesus. Pastor Robin opens up the passage to show how our union with Christ is the safest place in the world to be.
The Answer to All Anxious Thoughts
The religious leaders in the time of the gospel writers refused God’s answer to the problem of pain, loss, fear and confusion in society.

Take Him At His Word | John 4:46-55
If we’re honest, we have a lot of fleeces out. We’re often looking to see will God come through. Is he trustworthy? Does He listen to me? Maybe it is a situation at work school or in your family. Maybe it is something in your body. Whatever it is - it is an invitation to a faith that pleases God and also a faith that He rewards. In this sermon, pastor Robin encourages us to take him at His word based on John 4: 46-55 - and then receive the blessings that follow.
Jesus, Our Living Hope | John 5:1-17
Muslims and Jews have very little issues with Jesus as a teacher or prophet but they deny His resurrection - that the hope we have is a living hope in the person of Jesus Christ. We have have this living hope inside us but do we ‘live’ like we do? We often don’t because of distractions. John 5: 1-17 details the distractions of the enemy that deny us the vision of Jesus Our Living Hope.
What's the Big Deal About Jesus' Burial | John 19:38-42

Do Whatever He Tells You - John 2:1-11
Unfortunately, we weren't promised a good time for a short time. We were promised a short time of hard times. One thing we were promised was that we could know Him who our hearts desire and that would be enough. We have accepted the invitation to know Him in the past but will we accept the invitation again- especially in difficult times? John 2:1-11, shows us that Jesus in His timing, will make himself known in the impossible scenarios in our lives.
