Apologia Church

-Jeff Durbin-

We are in our expositional study of St. John's Gospel. Today, we are listening to John expand upon the identity of the One He wants us to believe in and have life in.
John 1:1-14 delivers a potent and unmistakable message about Jesus. John puts a fine point upon his explanation so as to make it impossible to distort without obvious distortion: Jesus is the eternal God, always in the presence of the Father, the One in Whom life itself originates, the One Who condescends and walks among us to bring light that obliterates darkness.
This is John's Christ. The True Christ. Our Christ.

Today we dive back into John 1:1, but since the Jehovah's Witnesses who come to your door
often have pre-memorized speeches about the verse, we need to be prepared. There are a
whole range of ingenious interpretations of the first verse of John's Gospel that have been
suggested down through the centuries by those who rejected, for one reason or another, the
over-all message of the Gospel of John. We will be looking at a range of these objections
today so that we will be ready to "give an answer" when the opportunity arises.

This week at Apologia Church we start our new sermon series on the Gospel of John.

- Matthew 28:18-20 -

We are a Church that has from the beginning, had a devotion to reaching the lost. God has used our body to lead countless people to a saving relationship with Jesus. Our desire is to continue to give our church the hope we have in evangelism and to spur one another on to reach the world with the Gospel.
May God continue to bless us with fruit from our love and evangels of those who don't know Him yet.

-1 Corinthians 1:18-31-

I want to thank our Lord for the blessing, honor, and privilege have had in preparing and delivering messages from the Book of Proverbs these last few years. This sermon series was so challenging to me, personally. It was challenging in at least two ways:
1. Preaching through Proverbs is a very different preparation, process, and delivery than other types of books and letters in the Scriptures. Many Pastors have told me they have avoided preaching through it because of the unique challenges it presents in delivering weekly expositional messages through the book.
2. The content in this marvelous book is so cutting, convicting, and transforming it had to always be preached to myself before I ever dared bring it to you. I've been changed. And 1 am so grateful.
Today, we are on the final summary message on the Wisdom from Above: Christ is the true Wisdom of God.

May God bless us all to see this incredible truth.
