This Sunday we’re starting a new teaching series through the book of Hebrews! There’s always something special about the first Sunday of a new study. Gathering on that first Sunday always renews an excitement in my heart to teach God’s people. However, this weekend feels a little awkward though doesn’t it? Here we sit in a stay-home order that’s sure to last the entire month of April. I don’t like that we can’t physically gather, it’s not ideal. I’m not cut out to be a YouTube-preacher and I miss seeing your faces more than you know. All that being said, I’m no less excited to study through this season together!

We're on to a NEW chapter in John's Gospel this Sunday. However, this chapter comes with a bit of a twist, that being John 7:53-8:11 may or may not have been written by John and part of the original text. Disputes over this passage aren't anything new but leave us trying to decide if it belongs in this gospel.

I'm a little giddy about the passage that I get to preach on this Sunday. This climactic moment that takes place with Jesus at the feast of booths is probably my favorite event in John up to this point. The celebratory meaning behind the last day of this festival combined with Christ's BOLD pronouncement give us striking details as to how the Old Testament points to Jesus as the messiah.

The opposition to Jesus' ministry in Chapter 7 of John is beginning to gain serious traction in their efforts to silence Jesus. However, it's a wonderful and mysterious truth that they will accomplish nothing until God permits it. While it's a concept we can't come close to wrapping our feeble minds around, the sovereignty of God offers the believer great hope and peace in the midst of any circumstance.

Pastor Tripp not only has an amazing mustache but does an effective job of communicating the challenges of being a pastor and the pitfalls that we're all prone too in ministry. At times I felt like I was being punched in the gut but what this book continuously reminded me of was how much I need to cling to the sufficiency of God's grace as I lead, there is no substitute.

Sunday morning we'll see the tension and opposition to Christ's ministry continue to build as we walk through John 7:1-24. In the midst of turmoil Christ's commitment to truth and obedience is something that should grasp our intention and inspire us. Though those around him continually proposed other routes to glory Jesus' obedience to the Father is unwavering.
