-Jeff Durbin- John 1:14-18 We are continuing in our study of the Gospel According to John. Today, we are in the end of the prologue looking at the profound truths that the beloved disciple wants the world to know about the identity of the Messiah and what He brings. He is God, at the Father's side from all eternity, and He is full of grace and truth. That is soul-satisfying truth that ought to carry us into delight and joy every day of our walk with the Lord Jesus. May we be renewed and transformed by what we hear from the Word of God this day.

Jeff Durbin - John 1:12-13 - We are in our exposition and series on the Gospel According to John.Today, we are going to examine a powerful and central theme in God's incredible story of redemption: regeneration or the new birth. Scripture teaches throughout (and John makes the point over and over again) that man, in his natural state, is fallen and spiritually dead. We are alienated from God because of our sin and we are unable and unwilling to come to God for life, peace, and forgiveness. However, John gives us a beautiful truth in the text before us. Our being children of God and our having a new birth is not something in us, through us, or because of us. It is solely a work of God with all of the boasting, credit, and glory to God Himself. That is a soul-satisfying truth. It gives us confident hope in our walk before the Lord and our future inheritance with Him. He loves us. He gives us everything we lack and all that we need through His sovereign will and power.

We are in our study and exposition of the Gospel According to John: St. John's Gospel - He Walked Among Us. Today, we are looking at the life and ministry of John the Baptist. John was a powerful and mighty believer. God gave prophecy concerning his coming and God used him to prepare the people of God as well as introduce Him as the forerunner. I pray that our study of John will empower us to trust in the faithful God Who keeps His promises and to live our lives with the same passion, discipline, and commitment as this mighty man of God.

-Jeff Durbin- We are in our expositional study of St. John's Gospel. Today, we are listening to John expand upon the identity of the One He wants us to believe in and have life in. John 1:1-14 delivers a potent and unmistakable message about Jesus. John puts a fine point upon his explanation so as to make it impossible to distort without obvious distortion: Jesus is the eternal God, always in the presence of the Father, the One in Whom life itself originates, the One Who condescends and walks among us to bring light that obliterates darkness. This is John's Christ. The True Christ. Our Christ.

Today we dive back into John 1:1, but since the Jehovah's Witnesses who come to your door often have pre-memorized speeches about the verse, we need to be prepared. There are a whole range of ingenious interpretations of the first verse of John's Gospel that have been suggested down through the centuries by those who rejected, for one reason or another, the over-all message of the Gospel of John. We will be looking at a range of these objections today so that we will be ready to "give an answer" when the opportunity arises.

Jeff Durbin - John 1:1-3 - This week at Apologia Church we start our new sermon series on the Gospel of John.

- Matthew 28:18-20 - We are a Church that has from the beginning, had a devotion to reaching the lost. God has used our body to lead countless people to a saving relationship with Jesus. Our desire is to continue to give our church the hope we have in evangelism and to spur one another on to reach the world with the Gospel. May God continue to bless us with fruit from our love and evangels of those who don't know Him yet.

Jeff Durbin -1 Corinthians 1:18-31- I want to thank our Lord for the blessing, honor, and privilege have had in preparing and delivering messages from the Book of Proverbs these last few years. This sermon series was so challenging to me, personally. It was challenging in at least two ways: 1. Preaching through Proverbs is a very different preparation, process, and delivery than other types of books and letters in the Scriptures. Many Pastors have told me they have avoided preaching through it because of the unique challenges it presents in delivering weekly expositional messages through the book. 2. The content in this marvelous book is so cutting, convicting, and transforming it had to always be preached to myself before I ever dared bring it to you. I've been changed. And 1 am so grateful. Today, we are on the final summary message on the Wisdom from Above: Christ is the true Wisdom of God. May God bless us all to see this incredible truth.

- Wade Orsini - Genesis 3:1-7 Everything boils down to God's word vs. Satan's word. Who will image-bearers believe? This very reality creates a war of truth against falsehood. And fittingly, it begins here in Genesis, the book of beginnings. May you cling to God's Word like a light unto your path and steer clear of Satan's word, as it is the evil way that leads to darkness. Christ, be our Light. Soli Deo Gloria!

Brian Gunter - Revelation 14:9-13 - We worship an infinitely holy God who demands justice against sinners for their sin. Our doctrine of Hell even affects some essential Christian doctrines, so we must be prepared to explain and defend what the Bible teaches about Hell.
