Title: John - Galilee to Patmos Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Series: Bible Characters Date: 23 November 2025 Bible: John 1:1-14; Revelation 1:1-11 The sermon presents a theological and biographical portrait of the Apostle John, emphasizing his unique role in revealing Christ's divine identity as the eternal Word made flesh. Centered on John 1:1–14, the message underscores Christ's preexistence, creative power, and redemptive mission, highlighting John's purpose to affirm Jesus as the Son of God and the source of eternal life. Through reflections on John's family, calling, fiery temperament, and transformation from 'Son of Thunder' to 'Apostle of Love,' the sermon illustrates how divine grace reshapes human character for godly service. It also explores John's literary legacy—his Gospel, Epistles, and Revelation—as a testament to intimate communion with Christ and a vision of ultimate triumph, where the church is glorified and Christ's return is both a promise and a call to faithful readiness. The tone is pastoral and exhortative, urging believers to cultivate deep intimacy with Christ, surrender their self-will, and live in anticipation of His return.
