Exodus 1 & 2 We start a new series entitled "The God Who Saves". We finished the study of the Gospel of John. Now we look at the book of Exodus, which gives the historical and theological foundation for John's Gospel. The God revealed in Jesus is the covenant-keeping Redeemer who delivers His people. We begin by looking at the bondage that the Israelites experienced in Egypt, and how God worked behind the scenes to bring about their deliverance. If we admit that we are in bondage to sin, we too can experience deliverance. You are more enslaved than you think and more loved than you ever imagined.

John 20-21 As we close out the book of John, we explore the appearances of the risen Jesus to Mary, the disciples, and Thomas. We see the restoration of Peter. The resurrection validates every claim of Jesus and invites all to believe. The risen Christ brings peace, restoration, mission and eternal life. You can't have peace with God until you have a relationship with Jesus. When we have peace with God, we can have peace with ourselves and others.

John 17-19 As we study the events leading to the crucifixion of Jesus, we first look at his teaching on unity in His church. Unity is diversity with harmony. Unity must be centered around Christ and His Word. It's based on a mutual relationship with Christ. We then look at the person of Pilate. He knew right from wrong but was more worried about what people would think about him. The fear of man and the need to be a people pleaser will cause you to do things that are not right just because it’s popular.

John 14-16 Chapters 12 & 13 deal with the anointing at Bethany, the triumphal entry and the Last Supper. In Chapters 14-16, we have the teachings of Jesus about the Holy Spirit as the helper, comforter and advocate. The Holy Spirit is a person of God, just like the Father and the Son. We see that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit were all present at Creation, as well as at the baptism of Jesus. The Holy Spirit has a mind, a will, and emotions. He dwells in us when we get saved. He teaches, convicts and guides us, as well as testifies through us.

John 11 In raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus conquered death and foreshadowed His own resurrection. Some lessons from this incident: 1- Jesus was never alarmed or panicked about anything, and was driven by His Father’s will, not emotional desires; 2- God’s timing is not our timing and we don’t always understand His timing; 3- When death happens, Eternal Life continues.

John 10 As we continue our study of the Gospel of John, we find Jesus in a long discourse with religious leaders and others regarding whether he is God. He explained by comparing himself to a good shepherd, something they all understood. He provides guidance and protection and is willing to lay down his life for his sheep. He is the Shepherd-Messiah. The actions and the words of Jesus Christ PROVE that He is God! Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE

John 7-9 When we reach these chapters, we find Jesus during the Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus talks about the water-pouring and lamp-lighting ceremonies and declares that he is their fulfillment. He is the Water of Life and the Light of the World. As we read of the healing of the man born blind, we learn how the light of Jesus exposes sin, overcomes darkness, and brings spiritual light. Belief brings sight, unbelief blinds. Allow the light of Jesus to guide you through the darkness of this world.

John 6 This chapter begins with Jesus speaking to a multitude who become hungry. To meet their need, he multiplies the few available loaves and fish in a miraculous provision for them. After leaving that crowd for a time, he walks on water to reach another crowd. It's here that he proclaims himself the Bread of Life. Many are searchers, but as he further expounds upon this truth, some become grumblers, some arguers, and even some decide to desert him. We must seek after Jesus because we want a relationship with Him- NOT a handout. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE

John 5:1-9 When Jesus came to the pool of Bethesda and saw the many disabled people hoping to receive healing from the waters, he was led by God to speak to one man who had been an invalid for 38 years. The man was healed simply by obeying the words of Jesus to stand and walk. Jesus has divine authority to heal, judge, and give life. It's important for us to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance so that we minister in divine authority, not in our own human desires.

John 4:1-42 As we continue to follow the life of Jeus in the Gospel of John, we come upon his meeting the Samaritan woman at the well. He reveals Himself as Messiah to a broken woman - and transforms a whole town. In John 3, Jesus offered eternal life to a wealthy Council leader. Now he offers it to the outcast and overlooked. Eternal life is available to all. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE

John 3:1-18 Continuing the study of John entitled "That You May Believe", we examine the conversation of Jesus with Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling Council. Jesus explains what it means to be born again. Nicodemus's response went from confusion, to curiosity, to conviction, and most likely to conversion. The plan of salvation as declared in John 3:16-18.

John 2 Since the morning service was cancelled due to the snow emergency, Pastor Will Livestreamed the sermon from his home. In Chapter 2 of John, we see Jesus performing his first miracle and then clearing the Temple. They symbolize His ability to transform lives, but also to confront and cast out evil. He is the Messiah with divine authority. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE  

John 1:19-51 As we continue through the Gospel of John, we see Jesus revealing himself personally and inviting seekers to believe. John the Baptist gives witness to many that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  Jesus then has his first interactions with Andrew, Peter, Philip and Nathanael. Each has his own story of how he came to follow Jesus. Faith often begins with invitation, testimony and simple obedience.

John 1:1-18 We begin a 13-week Sermon Series entitled "That You May Believe: Encountering Jesus in the Gospel of John". This journey is anchored in the central message of John’s Gospel: Jesus is the Son of God, the promised Messiah, and through belief in Him we receive eternal life. In this first sermon, we ask "Who is Jesus?". We see that He is Eternal God. He is Life and Light. The Word became flesh and dwelled among us. We're called to believe, to receive and thus to live.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 Before starting the new year with a Reflective Communion, we looked at teaching about the proper attitude when partaking of Communion. Because of God's righteousness, we need to examine ourselves beforehand and confess our sins to God, so we can enter with the right standard before Him. The Lord's Supper exemplifies the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE
