It's Better When You're Here!The Book of John: Week 4Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as we finish our journey through the book of John.
This whole month, we’ve been exploring how the Gospel of John reads almost like a comic book—packed with powerful moments, miraculous signs, and bold characters that leap off the page. But more than just entertainment, John gives us a vivid, approachable picture of who Jesus is and what He came to do.
In week one, we talked about how Jesus showed up—how He enters into our world and meets us where we are.
Week two reminded us that m...2025-07-3030 min
Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 24:1-7 - "He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!"The fact and the truth of theresurrection of Jesus cannot be underestimated! John Stott said,"Christianity is in its very essence a resurrection religion. The conceptof resurrection lies at its very heart, and if you remove it, Christianity isdestroyed." Paul put it this way in 1 Corinthians 15:17: “If Christ benot risen, then our faith is vain. It isempty. It has nothing to it. And we are yet in our sins”. Yes, the Bibleteaches, and the gospels affirm, and the witnesses affirm, and history affirmsthat Jesus Christ indeed rose from the grave early that Sunday morning 2,000years ago after His crucifixion on th...2025-07-2505 min

This is one of the most special passages ofScripture in the Bible. All the Bible in the Old Testament points to this time,and all the time after this, points back to this time. This is the center andfocal point of eternity. This is where God Himself, who has taken on humanflesh, dies on a cross for all humanity. Jesus, God manifest in the flesh, camefor this very purpose and hour. Even while Jesus is suffering one of the mostcruel and painful...2025-07-1505 min

Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 23:1-5 - Jesus On Trial Before PilateTodaywe are continuing to look at Luke 23. In this chapter, we read about the trial,the crucifixion, and the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus loves us so muchthat He gave His life on the cross of Calvary. In this chapter, we see mendoing their worst and at the same time, we see God giving His best.

In verses 14–16, theyhave sat down at the table to eat the Passover meal with Jesus the night beforeHe will be crucified. According to John’s Gospel (John 13), Jesus had risenfrom the table and washed all the disciple’s feet which would have includedJudas before they went through the eating of the Jewish Passover.

Therewas tremendous excitement this week in Jerusalem as the Passover was takingplace. Over 100,000, perhaps 300,000 or more, Jewish pilgrims had come to thecity. They had been looking for the Messiah for centuries and were expectingthat Jesus, who performed miracles and proclaimed Himself to be the Messiah,might be the one.

Pastor Mike Impact MinistriesLuke 22:1-13 - Jesus is Our Passover LambTodaywe're looking at Luke chapter 22. We believe this chapter describes the eventsthat took place on Thursday of Passover Week and what we also call PassionWeek. This is the day that Jesus would prepare for the Passover with Hisdisciples because He knew He was the Passover Lamb. Remember the story of theExodus when the Passover lamb was killed, the blood was sprinkled on thedoorpost and lintel, and the firstborn would be spared. The death angel would “passover” that house because the blood had been applied. Whata beautiful picture when Jesus shows up three and a...2025-06-1505 min

At this stage in Christ'sministry, it is obvious that the Pharisees and religious leaders were bent ondestroying Him. In the previous verses (vv. 33-36), Jesus was exposing thedarkness of their hearts. Their hearts were so dark that they refused to acceptthe very Light of God that was in their midst.

Haggai 1-2:23 in the Bible talks about the prophet Haggai encouraging the people of Israel to rebuild God's temple in Jerusalem. The people had been ignoring the temple because they were busy with their own homes. Haggai reminded them that God was not pleased with this and that they needed to put God first. When they listened and started rebuilding, God promised to bless them and be with them. The book also contains prophecies about future blessings and the coming of a special leader from David's family line.

think of us, is not as important as what God thinks. Jesus waited until the
messengers had departed and then He publicly commended John for his ministry.

time that John the Baptist baptized Jesus and presented Him to Israel as the Savior
and Messiah.

of identifying with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, baptism did not
begin with Christians. You do not find baptism mentioned in the Old Testament. For
years before Christ, the Jews had used baptism in ritual cleansing ceremonies
of Gentile proselytes. Also ritual cleaning by water was require by the priest
in the Old Testament and for anyone who would enter the tabernacle or temple.
