Listen "The Savior We Need | John 7:18-35"

Episode Synopsis

As we conclude this year’s Advent series, Pastor Marty shares with us this week the profound truth that Jesus is not the savior we expect, but He is the one we truly need.  We learn that we should ask hard questions with open hearts, that Jesus understands what we need saved from far better than we know ourselves, that neutrality toward Jesus is not an option, and that this redeemed life is a treasure of surpassing value. In Luke 7, Jesus sends a message back to John the Baptist, as he was concerned and questioning Jesus’s presence.  He shares some simple truths about John the Baptist with the people there, and then he drops a quote that is difficult for them to understand, along the lines of “...John is great, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than John...” which confused the people. Marty shares how God’s children are greater than John, because we have knowledge, position, and a calling that John did not have. As we continue to prepare, how will you learn to live this in 2026?  Endure, Enjoy, Execute. This sermon is from 12/28/2025
