spring, 2021 study: the gospel of john

#6-Summary and eternal life

​In this final session on the Gospel of John, Pastor Steve gives a summary of what's been said in this study of John's Gospel, and concludes with some thoughts on life and eternal life in the resurrected life of Christ, the restorer of God's Everlasting Garden

#5-the holy spirit & pentecost

​For this fifth session in a series of six on the Gospel of John, Pastor Steve talks about Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit in John's Farewell Discourse at the Last Supper and just prior to Christ's crucifixion and death. Pastor Steve also presents the Jewish back-ground to Pentecost, even as we, in the Christian tradition, celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit and the "birthday of the Church" on the Day of Pentecost, with lots of creative symbolism--including a wild goose! Please finish reading John's Gospel for next time.
