John 5:19-29

As we close out one year and begin another, Pastor Jim leads us through a two part series from the last half of John 5 with an emphasis on the Incomparable Christ. What’s so special about this 1st century Jewish person known as Jesus of Nazareth? What bold and unique claims did Jesus make about Himself? Why does the Bible joyfully proclaim that we can receive salvation through faith in Christ? There’s no better way to reboot our spiritual thinking and reset our heart’s affections than to fix our eyes on Jesus, who is the center of the Gospel itself!
