John 3:22-36. How do you measure success? People influenced by the world will measure success by career, family, education, possessions, happiness, accomplishments, and talents. However, God measures success in an entirely different category. If anyone wants to be a true success, they will diligently apply themselves to God's category. In this message, Pastor Richard explains what God's measure of success is and how people can find true success in this life and the life to come.

John 3:16. God is the great initiator of redemption. Yet, for centuries, thoughtful people have been baffled about why God would initiate redemption. He didn't owe sinners redemption, nevertheless, He gave His son Jesus as a sacrifice to save those who are lost. In this message, Pastor Richard explains how God's love drove the plan of redemption to completion and how people today can eternally benefit from the love of God that is through Jesus Christ.

John 3:1-21. In this message Pastor Richard explains why the reality of being born again is so vital to the Christian life. Like many Christians today, Nicodemus didn't understand that being born again is the foundation of believing and enjoying the redeeming work of God through Jesus Christ. A Christian's new birth is not something that they ever grow out of, but rather, it is a radical character and life defining event that permanently changes that person's life for all eternity.

John 2:13-25. The foundation of all false worship is the idea that people can determine the proper way to worship God. The Jewish leaders of Jesus day redefined worship and in doing so introduced confusion and hindrances to those who sought to worship God. Today, many Christians have introduced their own kind of obstacles and confusion to worship. This message reminds us that Jesus cares how God is to be worshiped and that He is the only way that God can properly be worshiped.

John 2:1-11

John 1:35-51. What does it mean to follow Jesus? In this message Pastor Richard explains how following Jesus is the same thing as being a Christian.

John 1:19-34. Who was John the Baptist? This question troubled the religious leaders in ancient Israel. While many people entertained different opinions of who this bizarre and austere man truly was, John the Baptist was only concerned with making Jesus Christ known. In this message, Pastor Richard challenges Christians to be like John, true witnesses to Christ.

John 1:16-18. In this message pastor Richard explains how the Lord Jesus gives the fullness of His grace to all who receive Him. The grace that believers experience in Jesus Christ is immeasurable, unending, and unceasing. Without the grace of Jesus, people would live in the darkness of not knowing the true character and nature of the invisible God. With the grace of Christ, Christians receive the ever-increasing light of knowing God their Redeemer.

John 1:14. The Lord Jesus deserves our highest devotion and thoughts. He is the image of the invisible God and reveals to all, who behold him by faith, the unimaginable glory of God. In ages past no one could see God and live. But today, in the person of Jesus Christ we can see God in all his glorious grace and truth. This message challenges us to ascend to the lofty realms of contemplating Christ in all his fullness and glory.

John 1:1-14. This message is the first message in a new verse by verse study on the Gospel of John.
