Jesus says in our passage in John that he came here to save the world, not to judge us, and that he won’t judge the ones who hear his message but don’t obey it. So what happens then at the final judgement on the last day?

Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Those Dry Bones” talks about times in our lives that seem dry, like the dry bones in Ezekiel’s vision. The good news is that God can and will breathe new life into dry bones, just like he did at creation. What can we do to allow this to happen in our lives?

Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Who Will Move the Stone?” talks about the stone that blocked the women’s access to the tomb on Easter morning when they went to prepare Jesus’ body for burial, not knowing yet that he had risen. What is the stone in our own lives that keeps us from following Jesus, and how will it be moved aside?
