Who was really on trial?
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, March 30, 2025 Who was really on trial? Joh 18:28-40 In Joh 18:28, the civil trial was about to begin. The city of Jerusalem simmered with religious fervor, and discontent with Roman rule. Pilate's home for most the year was in Caesarea. He came to Jerusalem for the Jewish feasts. He was there to keep the peace, and to nip any insurrection in the bud. The governor's headquarters was called the Praetorium. The dominant theme in John's account is the kingdom: the authority of Jesus. Joh 18:36 John's account of the trial brings out the sharp contrast between the...

Check out the neighborhood John crafted verses 4-6 with great care. 1. Jesus said to the Roman soldiers and the Temple Guard, "I am He". I AM. 2. Judas, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

There was a Garden
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, February 16, 2025 There was a Garden Joh 18:1-11 This gospel is a story of unbelief and belief. Joh 1:11-14 The powerful in Israel rejected Him. But His disciples came to believe that He was the Son of God. Joh 11:41-44 Many came to believe in Christ as a result of this miracle. Joh 11:45-46 His enemies resolved to have Him put to death. Joh 11:47-53 Chapters 18 and 19 depict the hour of darkness rising out of the pit of unbelief.

He Came Close to Death for the Work of Christ.
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, January 26, 2025 He came close to death for the work of Christ Rom 12:6-8 The believer with the gift of helps is focused on specific people.

Christ the Cornerstone
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, April 21, 2024 Christ the Cornerstone. Joh 17:20-23 The book of Ephesians is our best guide to the unity of the church. The Lord has established our unity. We don't create it. First, the Lord Jesus Christ secured our unity - once and for all time. He died on the cross to reconcile us in His body. Eph 2:11-16 He reconciled us to Himself. He reconciled us to the Father. And He reconciled us to one another. This partition (the "soreg") prohibited Gentiles from entering the temple courts. When Christ died, He broke down the barrier of...

John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, March 31, 2024 Happy Resurrection Day! There shall be no more death. Over 2,000 years ago, Christ burst forth from the grave, triumphant. He was victorious over sin, death, and satan. On the first day, Jesus died on the cross. During the second day, His lifeless body lay in that virgin tomb. But then, early the next day, the third day, He was raised from the dead. He died because of our sins. He was raised because believers are justified. We Christians believe that the most momentous things happened at the cross. He bore the sin of the...

If you love Me
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, June 11, 2023 NO SERVICE: Thursday June 22nd Sunday June 25th Thursday June 29th Joh 14:12-17 "If you love Me" 1. Greater works (verse 12) 2. Answered prayer (verses 13-14) 3. Loving Christ (verse 15) 4. Another Counselor (verses 16-17) If this prayer is answered, will the Father be glorified in the Son? One cannot ask for anything in Jesus' name until he has come to know Him. A person cannot effectively ask for anything IN JESUS NAME, until... he has come to know Jesus well enough to know that Jesus endorses that request. Joh 16:23-24 by continuing in His word, by learning...

Greater works than these.
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, May 21, 2023 John 14:12-17 Greater works than these 1. Greater works (verse 12) 2. Answered prayer (verses 13-14) 3. Loving Christ (verse 15) 4. Another Counselor (verses 16-17) In this passage, the Father continues to be front and center. What's more, we are introduced to the Counselor or Helper - the Holy Spirit. Jesus had just finished talking about HIS OWN works. Joh 14:10-11 Jesus was talking about His miracles! The signs which revealed His identity. Not only that, but they will perform greater works than He did! Joh 14:12 It sounds like Jesus is saying they will perform greater miracles than He...

Lord, show us the Father
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, May 14, 2023 Joh 14:7-11 Lord, show us the Father In chapter 1, the first disciples met Jesus. Andrew said He was the Messiah (Joh 1:41). Philip said Jesus was the one Moses and also the prophets wrote about (Joh 1:45). And Nathanael said He was the Son of God and the King of Israel (Joh 1:49). Later on, Peter said that Jesus had the words of eternal life (Joh 6:68). And other disciples said that He was the Holy One of God (Joh 6:69). But did they believe that the Father was in Him and He was in the Father? And they...

Thursday May 25th Sunday May 28th Thursday June 22nd Sunday June 25th Thursday June 29th Joh 14:1-6 "I go to prepare a place for you" Here begins a time of unmatched intimacy and tenderness - and truth. Joh 7:39 Jesus taught the Jews many things about Himself. They refused to believe in Him. But did His disciples really understand them? Our passage this morning says a lot about our human nature.

Thursday May 25th Sunday May 28th Thursday June 22nd Sunday June 25th Thursday June 29th Joh 13:31-38 "A new commandment I give to you" These eight verses present a great drama of glory, departure, love, and denial. 1. The glory: (verses 31-32) Glory is the revelation of God's majesty. Joh 12:23-24 He is referring to His impending death on the cross, and the glories to follow. The title the Son of Man means that Jesus...

One of you will betray Me.
John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, April 16, 2023 "One of you will betray Me." Joh 13:16-30 The gospel moves from Jesus washing the feet of the disciples to the betrayal of Judas. Luk 22:24-27 Joh 13:17 God has given us His word, not only to inform but also that we might do what it tells us to do! Luk 6:46-49 Now, rather abruptly, Jesus begins to speak of His betrayer. Joh 13:18 Jesus knew that one of his disciples was a traitor. He had known it all along. Psa 41:9 Jesus omits the first part of verse 9 because He never trusted Judas. Joh 13:19 Now Jesus...

Luk 22:11-12 Joh 14:30-31 John does not record the institution of the Lord's Supper itself. Instead, he gives an extended discourse between Jesus and His closest disciples. Joh 13:1-4 Notice what is in the heart of Jesus. It's love. Joh 13:5 In other words, it was humble work, to serve others. Just as Jesus humbled Himself to become a man, so now He humbles Himself to become a servant. The very next day, He...

John Farley Pastor Teacher Sunday, March 26, 2023 "The Father who sent Me" Joh 12:42-50 The rest of chapter 12, from verses 37-50, provides a summation of Jesus' ministry. In verses 37-43, John reflects on the tragic mystery of Jewish unbelief. In verses 44-50, Jesus summarizes His teaching as the one sent by His Father. But they didn't have the courage of their convictions. They cared more about their reputation with people than their reputation with God. They were secret believers. 1Th 2:1-4 Joh 12:44-45 For one thing, He is testifying to the fact that He is God. Joh 10:29-30 The deity of...

Joh 1:11 John turns to the prophet Isaiah for answers. Joh 12:37-41 Verse 37 is an apt summary of Jewish unbelief as recorded in the gospel of John. Miracles will not penetrate the heart that refuses to hear the Word of God. In verse 38, John says that this Jewish unbelief...

He will endure all this for the sake of His Father's name, that He may be glorified. In the Old Testament, He glorified His name in ways too numerous to mention.

First and foremost, Jesus is the grain of wheat that falls into the earth and dies. And because He dies, He bears much fruit. Joh 12:32 The book of Hebrews also speaks of the fruit which Jesus bore by means of His death. Heb 2:9-13 The fruit consists of the many brothers and sisters which the Father has given Christ.

The other was Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Joh 6:67-71 John hardly ever mentions Judas without adding that he would betray Jesus. His betrayal was so heinous that they could never think of him in any other way. Even today we call someone who has betrayed a close friend a "Judas". Mary loved Jesus so much.
