Who Is This Jesus? The Bridegroom

There is a moment in John 3 when John the Baptist gets asked about Jesus. His disciples are a little anxious. People are leaving. The crowd is shifting. And John does not flinch. He says: he must increase. I must decrease. That word "must" is not resignation. In the Greek, it is dei — divine necessity. A plan already in motion. The same word Jesus uses when he says the Son of Man must suffer. John is not losing. He is completing. In this first message of our "Who Is This Jesus?" series, we follow John to the riverbank and discover that the question of who Jesus is always leads us back to the question of who we are. John the Baptist names Jesus as the Bridegroom. And in doing that, he names himself — and us. Not the destination. The friend. The one sent before. A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven. If you really believed that, what would change? This is Week 1 of Who Is This Jesus? — a series working through the Gospel of John to meet Jesus again, or maybe for the first time.

Easter 2026

What do you do with a morning you weren't ready for? This is the Easter reflection I gave at our 2026 gathering at Hammock Hall, Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg, Florida. We had just walked through a Visio Divina experience with sacred art on the walls, and we were about to share communion together. What came in between is what you're about to watch. This talk moves through the resurrection encounters in the Gospel of John — Mary in the garden, the road to Emmaus, Thomas and his doubt, the breakfast on the beach — and asks what the resurrection of Jesus actually means for your ordinary life. Not just your eternity. Your Monday. Your body. The grief you cannot put down. Along the way we spend time in Romans 8, Colossians 3, Second Corinthians 5, and Philippians 3. Dorothy Sayers, GK Chesterton, Howard Thurman, Martin Luther, Max Lucado, and Da Truth all have something to say about it.
