The Book of John - Believe Sermon Series
Title: All of Christ
Mike Powers, Vision & Preaching Pastor
Scripture Passage: John 4:43-54
43 After the two days he departed for Galilee. 44 (For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) 45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For they too had gone to the feast.
46 So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 So Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was recovering. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, and all his household. 54 This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
Main Idea: Believe in the fullness of Christ and His Word.
- Look past the miracles to the miracle worker.
- Look past your pride to the true King.
- Look past your plans to the better plan.
- Look past your doubts and believe.
Weekly Prayer Prompts:
Praying Scripture will help build a more focused and creative prayer life. Read the Scripture text slowly and carefully. As you read, pray as the Lord brings prayers to your mind, and you can use these prompts if you get stuck or need more ideas. The point is to practice prayer, so even if you don’t pray through the whole list, just doing it is a success!
