Anchor Point Church - Duluth, Mn

Jesus imparts his most powerful illustration on the meaning and purpose of our lives. We are the branches, he is the vine, and God is the gardener. Today we learned what this means for our lives as disciples of Jesus

In John 14, we see that the disciples of Jesus are troubled. "He is leaving!" "Don't be afraid because Jesus will send a helper." But who is the Holy Spirit? How will be help us? How do we receive Him?

In John 14, Jesus tells us he is the way, the truth, and the life - which is one of the most quoted scriptures in the bible. Is it a roadmap, or more of an invitation?

As we continue through John's account of Jesus, this week we take an in-depth look at the relationship between the Father and the Son and the implications of that relationship in our lives.

In John 11, Jesus is told that his friend Lazarus is sick and passing away. Jesus delays and says he'll come out of it, but then dies. This leaves us with many questions like is God really in control? Dive into John with us this week!

In John 10:22-42, Jesus finds himself totally surrounded by his opponents. They demand, “If you really are the Christ, tell us plainly” (v24). Jesus’ straight-forward response sets into motion a chain of plans for his eventual crucifixion. At the same time his reply gives those who believe in him the most comforting of assurances.

In this weeks message, we build off of Jesus' interaction with the blind man in John 9. We take a deeper look at Jesus as the Good Shepherd, our personal blindness, and the implications of Jesus shepherding our daily lives through John 10.

In John 9 the power of God is seen in a man blind from birth. Jesus heals him, restoring his physical sight. But for Jesus restoring physical sight is not the ultimate point. That point comes later at the end of the chapter - "that those who do not see may see and those who see may become blind" (v39). What did he mean and how does it connect to our lives today?

We all have questions as we walk with Jesus, and we think we need answers. Is our desire for fulfilled answers keeping us stagnant in our walks with Jesus?

Everyone thirsts for something. Jesus is the water that eternally quenches our thirst. What well are you drinking from?

What kind of impact could a church have on the world if it truly believed that Jesus Christ was their ultimate joy?

This week we take a deeper look at Jesus being the bread of life - our one and only source.

In John 5:31-47, Jesus claims that he is the Son of God, making him equal with God. As you can guess, the Pharisees took up a few issues with this. Jesus gives us four different witnesses to his divinity. At the end of the day, do they believe? Do you?

Jesus performed incredible miracles. Often, we are amazed by what he did, but how often do we find that we are amazed by WHO he is? What about Jesus should amaze us?

What if we were never hungry or thirsty again? When Jesus met the woman at the well, he tells her that he has living water that will quench her thirst forever. Now, we know he isn't talking about actual water, but himself. Followers of Jesus have access to that spring, will you go to it?

We all have our fears. Whether they are related to death, financial stress, jobs, or raising children; no one in the world can say that they live their life without fearing something. What are biblical truths about fear, and how does the resurrection of Jesus change our fears?

It's very easy in todays culture to become so self-focused that we miss Jesus. John the Baptist gives us a perfect lesson in selflessness and making Jesus the Lord and focus of our lives in John 3:22-36. He teaches us that we are meant to increase Jesus and decrease ourselves in our lives. Is Christ increasing in your life?

Pastor Josh Major stops to look back on The Book of John series that started in January 2018. It is a time to reflect on what God has been speaking to the congregation through His word over the last 6 weeks.

John 3:16 is the most well known bible verse in the church today. If we grow up in the church, it is one of the first verses we memorize in Sunday school. John 3:16 is printed on shirts, coffee mugs, and journals we buy from Wal-Mart. Sometimes when we hear something so often, it loses its weight. Pastor Josh guides us through John 3:16 and the weight it carries.

In John 3, we are introduced to a Pharisee named Nicodemus. Pharisees seemed to have everything right on the outside, but Jesus exposed their insides for what they truly were. How does Jesus shinning light on the true nature of the Pharisees affect us today?
