    The Radical Nature of the Love of Christ: A Deep Dive into John 13

    In this sermon from Dwell City Church, Steven Wilhoit explores the profound nature of the love of Christ as depicted in the Gospel of John. By examining the narrative of Jesus washing the disciples' feet, the speaker highlights how the King of the universe adopted the lowly position of a servant to provide a model for his followers. The sermon argues that this divine affection is multifaceted, acting as an enduring, humble, and cleansing force that rescues individuals from the trap of self-worship. Wilhoit emphasizes that Jesus’ willingness to serve even his betrayer, Judas, demonstrates a complex salvific disposition toward a fallen world. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to reject modern me-centered culture by imitating Christ's example of sacrificial service within their own communities. This transformation is presented as a gift of grace that ensures the redemption of those who belong to God.

    The Joy of Jesus: Finding Permanent Delight in John 12:44-50

    This sermon explains that while worldly joys are temporary, Jesus offers a "greater joy" that is permanent and unchanging, fitting with the message of "great joy" announced at his birth. The sermon identifies three ways Jesus is the source of joy: by allowing believers to behold the Father, by bringing them out of darkness (spiritual, theological, and moral), and by bearing their judgment upon himself. Ultimately, the speaker emphasizes that believing in Jesus and keeping his words is the path to eternal life, as Christ’s authority comes directly from God the Father.

    Trusting Sovereignty for Enduring Peace

    This sermon instructs listeners on how to find peace when personal circumstances are difficult or stressful, using the context of the Christmas season as an example. Drawing heavily on John 12:36-43, it first addresses the scriptural question of why people failed to believe in Jesus despite witnessing his seven major signs and abundant miracles. The explanation is rooted in the fulfillment of prophecy from Isaiah, which leads to the first point for attaining peace: trusting in God's sovereign plan. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that lasting peace requires believers to focus on the stability of Christ, urging them to behold the glory of Christ, rather than focusing on temporary troubles. Finally, the sermon warns against the loss of internal peace experienced by those who live for man's approval instead of God's, noting that integrity and authentic faith are essential for a stable spiritual life.

    The Bleak Hour Yields the Cross's Hope

    This sermon centers on the theme of hope arising from seemingly bleak situations, exemplified by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. The speaker begins by recounting the story of missionary Charlotte "Lottie" Moon, whose ultimate commitment to serving the impoverished led to the enduring establishment of a major annual missions offering in her honor. Analyzing John 12:27-36, the sermon explains that the cross brings hope because Jesus' death glorifies the Father by revealing God's character and also judges the world, casting out the controlling power of Satan. This momentous sacrifice provides believers with freedom and boldness since their sins have been specifically paid for. Ultimately, the lifting up of Jesus extends a crucial invitation for all peoples to receive salvation through belief, replacing laborious obedience with the simple currency of faith.
